Valencia Yacht Charter
Valencia Yacht charter holidays have become increasingly popular since the
city became the venue for the 2007 and 2009 America’s Cup events.
And when you look at what Valencia has to offer, it’s not surprising that the
world’s yachting community has embraced it so eagerly.
In purely yachting terms, Spain’s third largest city has a reputation for
being situated in some of the most reliable sailing conditions in Europe, with
generally good sea breezes. Valencia is also situated on a beautiful stretch of
the Mediterranean coastline, with some delightfully tranquil coves as well as
the modern marinas of the Costa Blanca resorts. Only 50 nautical miles away are
the Balearic Islands, with their stunning white beach bays and welcoming
harbours.
Valencia has a rich sailing tradition but, since the development spurred by
the America’s Cup, it now has facilities that are unequalled almost anywhere in
Europe. The brand new 700 berth marina, known as Port America’s Cup, has the
services and amenities that you would expect of such a prestigious venue. And
the yacht club, with nautical installations covering more than 400,000 square
metres, houses an impressive sports complex, Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis
and squash courts, children’s playgrounds and a host of other social
attractions. There is, additionally, a sailing school, open throughout the year,
which offers courses at varying levels for people with sailing or cruising
ambitions. Valencia marina has developed into a cosmopolitan amenity luring
yachtsmen from around the world.
Anyone wishing to begin a Yacht Charter in Valencia will be sure to find the
exact package for which they are searching. There are many charter companies in
and around the Marina – some of the best-known names in the industry as well as
specialist local concerns – offering the complete range of packages.
If you are looking to charter your own yacht and go off exploring, then you
will find companies offering you the complete package; detailed briefing and
navigational charts, fully equipped up-to-the-minute craft – and even completely
stowed provisions when you get on board, if that’s what you want. Some companies
even offer the chance of a ‘sleep aboard’ on your boat the night before your
charter begins so that you can become completely familiar with your craft.
Less experienced sailors will be able to find charters that provide either a
skipper or a full crew for the duration of your journey. You can even have a
chef provided on board; indeed, for those looking for the ultimate in luxury,
fully crewed yacht vacations taking care of absolutely everything could give you
a totally unforgettable experience.
Whether it’s a two-person ‘bareboat’ charter in a monohull or a fully crewed
family vacation in a luxurious catamaran, Valencia – one of the most lively and
historic cities in Spain – is a great place to begin your yacht charter
experience.
