Performance under sail. Paradise at anchor.

Available for charter

Carbon hull, mast and boom make W exceptionally light, quick in the lightest air, composed and sure-footed when the breeze fills in. Unusually beamy for her length, she carries that performance alongside rare space, comfort and a level of detail chosen piece by piece.

On board

Slow days,
open water

An expansive cockpit seats twelve for dinner and still leaves room to lounge; forward, quieter corners for sun and shade. Both tables drop to form wide daybeds. A Williams jet tender and a full set of water toys live in the garage, looked after by a crew of three, mediterranean cooking and all.

Performance

Built to
be sailed

Light, stiff and quick to respond, W comes alive the moment the sails go up — eager in the faintest breeze, settled and assured as it builds. A yacht built to be sailed, not simply moved between bays, guided by a captain with real regatta experience.

Life on
deck

The cockpit seats twelve for a long dinner, with a separate chill-area alongside. Forward, a lounge and sunpads make a quieter retreat, and both tables drop to form wide daybeds. Deck audio and an evening light design carry the day gently into the night.

Alessandra brings young Italian energy, creativity and remarkable precision to the galley. Her style is Mediterranean and mostly homemade, built around what guests feel like: long lunches, light dinners, or whatever the day asks for. She creates varied, elegant food with real flavour — from generous breakfasts to warm homemade focaccia sandwiches and beautifully prepared dinners. Her positive attitude and warm presence make every meal feel effortless, personal and enjoyable. She adds a true boutique hospitality touch on board, combining excellent cuisine with genuine care for the guests.

Deckhand

Luis

Luis is the kind of deckhand guests immediately appreciate: reliable, energetic and always ready to help. With him, “no” is simply not an option — he finds solutions, stays positive and makes things happen. His background in yachting, watersports and kitesurfing makes him especially valuable for an active charter experience. He brings strong practical skills, a friendly attitude and a natural sense for guest service on deck. Loved by everyone, Luis adds warmth, flexibility and genuine dedication to the team.

Autonomy

Free to roam

Solar, deep battery banks, a near-silent generator and two watermakers mean W can simply stay out, a week or more between bays, no marina, no hum, no one thinking about the logistics. Just water, light and time.

Charter questions

What's included in a charter aboard W?

A week aboard W is fully crewed and private. Your captain, chef and deckhand take care of the sailing, the meals and everything on board, and the charter fee covers the yacht, its crew and the use of all water toys. Running costs such as fuel, food, drinks and harbour fees are settled through a separate Advance Provisioning Allowance, as is standard for crewed charter.

How many guests can W accommodate?

Up to 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins, including a rare full-beam master suite, looked after by 3 professional crew.

Where does Sailing Yacht W sail?

W cruises the Mediterranean and is based in Palma de Mallorca. From the Balearics she easily reaches the Spanish coast, the French Riviera, Corsica and Sardinia, and further afield on request. Every itinerary is tailored to you.

How much does it cost to charter W?

From €35,000 per week and from €7,000 per day, plus running costs. The best summer weeks are limited, so early enquiry is recommended.

When should I book?

Peak-season weeks in July and August are often reserved 6 to 12 months ahead, and the most popular dates go first. Get in touch early to hold your preferred week.

Is W a genuine performance sailing yacht?

Yes. W is a carbon YYachts Y8 with a full sail wardrobe of mainsail, jib, Code 0, staysail and gennaker, and a regatta-experienced captain. She genuinely sails, fast and responsive even in light air, yet stays calm and comfortable. This is real sailing, not a motor yacht with sails.
