SOLO TRAVEL IN 20 SECONDS
Perfect for solo travellers, first-time sailors and anyone joining without a full group.
Book one spot
Reserve a single place on a shared Sailweek yacht.
Join a shared yacht
Meet your yacht crew and the wider Sailweek group at check-in.
We place you with a crew
The team aims to create balanced crews based on bookings, age, gender and yacht layout where possible.
No sailing experience needed
Your skipper handles the sailing so you can enjoy the week.
Travelling solo does not mean travelling alone
Coming solo for the first time? It's completely normal to feel a little nervous about joining a trip where you don't know anyone.
The great thing about Sailweek is that there are plenty of natural ways to connect, whether that's chatting on deck, jumping in for a swim or exploring somewhere new together.
You don't need to be the loudest person on the yacht or have everything planned. You can enjoy the social side at your own pace.

FROM SOLO TO CREW
Going solo is easier when you know what to expect. Here's how you'll start connecting with your crew before departure and become part of the Sailweek experience.
01
GET READY FOR SAILWEEK
Once you've booked, we'll send you helpful emails covering what to expect, what to pack and how to prepare for your week.
02
MEET YOUR CREW BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
A few days before departure, your skipper creates a WhatsApp group so you can say hello and get to know your crew. Some guests even meet up before the week begins!
03
CHECK IN & MEET EVERYONE
At check-in, you'll meet the Sailweek team, your skipper and the other guests. It's where names become faces and your week together begins.
04
ONE BIG SAILWEEK CREW
You'll share the week with your yacht crew, making connections as you sail, swim and explore together. On departures with multiple Sailweek yachts, you'll also have opportunities to meet guests across the flotilla.
A shared cabin. A whole yacht to enjoy.

Example monohull layout and cabin photographs only. Actual cabin layouts, size, finish and bathroom access vary by yacht and package. A bunk-bed cabin is not guaranteed; you may share a double-bed cabin instead.
Who will I share a cabin with?
Solo travellers share a cabin with another guest. Where possible, we aim to place solo travellers in a bunk-bed cabin with someone of the same gender and a similar age.
However, bunk cabins are limited and cannot be guaranteed. Depending on the yacht layout, availability and guest mix, you may instead share a double-bed cabin.
If the gender balance for a particular week makes same-gender matching impossible, you may also be allocated with someone of the opposite gender. We always do our best to create comfortable, well-balanced crews.
- You book one place on a shared yacht.
- Most cabins are shared by two people.
- Crew lists are built closer to departure.
- Nervous about sharing? Ask before booking.
