You too can cross the ocean thanks to Sailwiz

If you dream of sailing across the ocean but don’t have one (or don’t have a suitable one) Sailwiz has the solution for you. The Spanish portal for booking boating vacations has a special section of its site dedicated precisely to crossings. And according to the data it has collected in recent years, more and more users are looking for such an adventure.

The call of the ocean

Confirming that “vacation-crossings” are increasingly in demand is data collected by Sailwiz, a portal specializing in boat vacations and ocean crossings, which records a 43 percent increase in user visits and interactions toward this type of vacation from 2022 to the present.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific, aboard sporty racing boats, comfortable catamarans or larger yachts, via less traveled itineraries, the lure of the ocean is increasingly strong for sailing enthusiasts. Driven probably by the growing number of sailors embarking on transoceanic ventures, and by the adventures of navigators such as Ambrogio Beccaria or Giancarlo Pedote, the number of novice sailors (or simple enthusiasts) who choose to experience the thrill of a long sail among waves and endless skies guided by experienced skippers is also growing.

“We have seen a real boom in requests in recent years,” says Emilia Marina, founder of sailwiz together with Álvaro García de Polavieja and an expert in this type of experience “People want to get back in touch with nature, break away from the hectic pace and immerse themselves in an authentic and transformative experience that goes beyond the most classic boating vacation.” Continues Emilia “The profile of these adventurers is varied, there are retirees who want to fulfill a lifelong dream but also young people who travel solo and want to test themselves in an extreme environment. An important game in this increase in the popularity of traverses is played by the growing notoriety of documentaries and travel stories that inspire new generations.”

The trend of sustainable vacations

Ocean crossings by boat are also a particularly sustainable choice because they reduce the use of fossil fuels, promote respect for the marine environment, and encourage a self-sufficient lifestyle. The use of renewable energy, careful management of resources and reduction of waste on board make them a model for environmentally friendly travel, a trend that is also growing. In addition, many expeditions contribute to scientific research, collecting data on pollution and marine biodiversity.
