Ever fancied being the captain of your own ship? SamBoat gives you the opportunity to do just that. Whether you’re planning an island hopping tour around the Balearics, or perhaps a more relaxed sojourn to the Amalfi coast, chartering a boat or yacht via SamBoat takes away all of the unnecessary hassle. Allowing you to compare over 50,000 boats and yachts in a matter of minutes, it's the ideal starting point for booking that well-needed getaway.

With thousands of sunny destinations to choose from, a sailing getaway not only offers you that well needed privacy, but also the flexibility to plan your trip however you so wish.

The Balearic islands offer the perfect mixture of sun-soaked beaches, clear waters, day parties, sangria on tap and more than a touch of history. Chartering a boat gives you the time to appreciate the quirks of each island, whether it be taking a couple of days off on a trip to Ibiza's superclubs or hiking through a national park, visiting the festivals of Menorca or enjoying some retail therapy in Mallorca. Just as enjoying a sailing trip shouldn't be stressful, chartering a boat shouldn’t be either – so for the less experienced, why not opt for an onboard skipper?

A private cove on a boat

Cruising down the Amalfi Coast at your own pace has to be one of life's greatest pleasures. And while its cliffside drives are legendary, there really is no better way to discover this scenic stretch than from the water. With endless little coves, colourful cliffside villas and the aroma of oregano and lemons permeating town squares, there’s so much to explore and enjoy. For the most memorable experience, why not moor up at Positano and spend a few days exploring the quintessentially Italian shops and restaurants, before cruising further down the coast to the towns of Praiano and Conca dei Marini?

Put simply, a Samboat booking is more than just a means of travel – it’s a way to open up some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful destinations, from Ajaccio in Corsica and Split in Croatia to Athens and more, with more freedom, privacy and luxury than you’ve ever experienced them before.
