Where freedom begins...
There’s no better way to leave everyday life behind than on a sailing trip. An exclusive sailing holiday is simply perfect for this! Enjoy our wonderful Mediterranean tour on our spacious yacht and embark on a very special experience – with great people, unrivalled nature and exciting adventures – nothing is impossible!
Endless space...
Our tour starts in Valencia on the Spanish mainland. The capital of the autonomous Valencian Community and the province of Valencia is located around 320 kilometres south-east of the national capital Madrid at the mouth of the Turia River into the Mediterranean Sea and is the third largest city in the country after Madrid and Barcelona with 800,215 inhabitants (as of 2021).
The hip Balearic island is always worth a stop. The third largest of the four Balearic Islands is known for its party hotspots, but offers idyllic, secluded bays and beaches away from the party miles that are perfect for a stopover. Try the local cuisine, visit colourful hippy markets or simply relax for a day on the yacht with a swim in the crystal-clear water.
The largest of the four Balearic Islands is also the most famous. In addition to the notorious party miles of El Arenal and Magaluf, it offers countless idyllic bays and beaches that are not overcrowded even in the high season, especially when they are difficult or impossible to access from land – the ideal anchorage to spend a relaxing day at sea…
We only offer our exclusive tours a few weeks a year. The catamaran is always kept in perfect technical and visual condition.
Our catamaran impresses with its large amount of space and high stability when sailing. Between the two hulls, the saloon offers a large area with plenty of comfort and living space with the best all-round visibility and lots of light.
All the superlatives you’re looking for. The BALI 4.5 is built in the Catana shipyards in France using the highest quality materials, with the largest sail area to weight ratio in its class, a standard or fybridge helm station, a standard or square sail and 4 cabins. The use of closed-cell PVC foam in sandwich construction and the manufacture of the hull by infusion ensure rigidity, durability and weight reduction. The design and height of the gondola enable better passage through the water and therefore a higher level of comfort and safety. The mast has been moved further aft to provide more space for a larger self-tacking jib and, with the self-tacking system, greater manoeuvrability. The sail area to weight ratio is the highest in its class and delivers the performance you expect from a Catana catamaran. A unique freshness of the saloon with large, fully retractable windows, an exceptional amount of daylight with panoramic views from the saloon and a level of equipment that will satisfy the most demanding sailors. Elegant design and an interior that makes your stay as comfortable as in your own home.
The catamaran has a mainsail, a jib and also a huge Code 65 genoa sail made of carbon laminate.
The catamaran has four good-sized cabins with comfortable double beds, each with its own bathroom and electric toilet.
The catamaran is so cosy and comfortable that you don’t really want to leave it. If required, a dinghy is of course available to bring our guests safely and dryly ashore.
The catamaran offers plenty of space with huge chilling zones – perfect for both group and individual activities.
The communal kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, induction hob, water filter, infrared heating and an American fridge with ice cube and water dispenser
There are many things on the yacht that are not available on other boats in this class. For example, electric toilets, electric wipers, an 11kW generator, desalination filter, carbon laminate sails, flybridge with bimini, solar panels, Aqua Base watermaker, Starlink internet and much more
Starlink guarantees a stable Internet connection anytime and anywhere. So you can stay in touch with your loved ones at home or share your travel experiences on social networks. TV can also be received, whereby the wonderful panoramic view of the sea certainly beats any TV programme by far.
Large sunbathing areas on deck invite you to relax, preferably with a cool drink. Enjoy the wide, unrestricted view of the Mediterranean and the exciting views that our landing sites offer.
The on-board cash register is opened at the start of a tour. The tour participants discuss the expected contribution to the on-board cash box together and make equal contributions. Our guests can express their wishes, and we shop and prepare the meals together accordingly.
On request, some or all of the catering can be provided by our caterer – how about a typical tapas evening with a few glasses of wine or a paella, for example? Allergies and intolerances are of course taken into consideration.
Cabins and bathrooms are cleaned regularly, bed linen and bath towels are available to our guests free of charge. If the luggage you have brought with you is not enough, the washing machine can quickly remedy the situation.
The prices are as individual as our tours – depending on the number of people, the time of year and the capacity utilisation. If, for example, someone cancels at short notice, we may be able to grant a last-minute discount. We will be happy to inform you personally about availability and prices and look forward to hearing from you.

Booking
Yes – you can cancel your booking at any time. Details such as the applicable cancellation fees can be found in our terms and conditions.
You can cancel your trip at any time, even at the last minute. We provide information on the details and any fees incurred in our General Terms and Conditions.
Safety comes first – as long as this is not jeopardised, the trip takes place ‘in all weathers’. If everyone agrees, a longer break can of course be taken in a harbour if the weather is bad. Fortunately, periods of bad weather are rarely long-lasting when we are travelling in the Mediterranean.
More travellers, more fun! We always try to fill our cabins completely, because a sailing holiday is all about the shared experience. However, if you are unable to find someone to join you on this trip, you can of course also book a singles cruise and occupy a double cabin on your own. We will be happy to inform you about the conditions.
This option is available on our longer tours! Depending on your itinerary, you can board the yacht in Valencia, for example, and leave it again after a week on Mallorca. You can also make your holiday even more luxurious by spending a few days at a finca after your sailing trip on Mallorca, for example. Feel free to contact us – and we will discuss what we can do for you.
We will be happy to inform you about special & last-minute prices. Simply contact us by phone or e-mail.
You can make a booking by telephone or email. In any case, you will receive a written booking confirmation by email.
The travel costs must be paid before travelling. Details can be found in our General Terms and Aonditions.
Travelling expenses can be paid by bank transfer. With the written booking confirmation you will receive the bank details of Tiki Bikini Adventures.
That is up to you. It is best to proceed in the same way as you would for any other journey.
After you have made your booking by telephone or in writing, you will receive your booking confirmation from us by e-mail.
You should always take your passport with you. If you are travelling from outside Spain, you will need it anyway, but Spanish residents should also have their identity document to hand just in case. We also recommend that you take your medical card with you.
If you do not have health insurance in Spain, you should enquire with your insurer about health insurance for travelling abroad.
All cabins have double beds and a private bathroom – so it makes no difference which cabin is yours. They are all equally comfortable and cosy.
Arrival
Arrival and departure are not part of the sailing trip offered by Tiki Bikini Adventures. If you need help with your journey by plane, train, car etc., we will be happy to provide you with advice and assistance.
Preparations
There are no weight restrictions, but space is of course limited. You should pack as you would for a normal flight. You should also bring weatherproof, warmer clothing, as the temperatures on the water are often perceived as cooler than they are.
Important: Don’t forget your swimwear!
We recommend that you do not take a hard-shell suitcase with you. The luggage should be flexible so that it fits into the available storage space and does not get in the way. A travelling bag or rucksack is best.
Unfortunately, there is not enough space on board for diving equipment. If you don’t want to miss out on diving, something can certainly be arranged. There are providers for diving and other water sports in all destination harbours. If it fits in with your travel plans and does not affect the group, you are welcome to take advantage of these offers.
The sailing trip
We attach great importance to safety and compliance with regulations. Our skippers have all the necessary sailing (at least SKS) and radio licences to sail the Mediterranean with passengers on board.
Our yacht is state of the art in terms of safety. There is a complete rescue kit with life jackets, distress signals, lifebelts and light buoys. Our skippers are appropriately trained and will ensure that the rescue of guests runs smoothly in an emergency.
If all participants arrive on time, we can organise a Meet & Great – this can take place on land or on the yacht. During our cruises, however, you will have plenty of opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and to plan and enjoy the tour together.
Most of our travellers come from German-speaking countries. English is usually spoken in an international composition.
As our yacht has a fully equipped kitchen with induction hob, oven, microwave and large American fridge, cooking on board is possible without restrictions. As a rule, the travellers cook together and take turns every day with the shopping, meal preparation and washing up.
Our travellers can decide for themselves what they want to eat every day. The crew will take care of reservations in local restaurants on request. There is also the option of hiring a caterer to take care of everything from shopping and cooking the meals to cleaning up.
The trip participants usually decide together how the catering is organised – e.g. whether the participants do the shopping themselves, hire the skipper or a caterer. Allergies/intolerances can of course be taken into consideration when selecting the food.
The crew consists of one skipper. It is customary for this to be catered for by the group.
Fortunately, periods of bad weather are rare when we are travelling and then very short. Should the weather turn bad, shore excursions can be planned. The harbours and surroundings of our itinerary offer plenty of variety to make a day of it – with visits to restaurants, museums or events. But it never gets boring on board either. We are sure that you will organise activities together with your fellow travellers.
No. Our yacht is sailed by a very experienced skipper. This person can steer and operate the yacht completely alone.
Seasickness is caused by a disturbance of the sense of balance. You may need some time to get used to the wave movements. It usually helps to simply stay on deck and not stay in the cabin. However, there are also medications that help with seasickness or as a preventative measure. Your family doctor can certainly advise you on this.
Yes and no…our sailing trip usually starts and ends in Valencia with stopovers in Ibiza and Mallorca. However, the route may vary depending on the weather conditions.
We usually start our sailing trips after breakfast and are out and about all day, occasionally stopping for a swim in waters close to the island. In the afternoon or evening we moor in one of the destination harbours so that the yacht is moored at night. There is also the option of anchoring in a bay. This depends on the route and the weather conditions and is discussed individually on board.
Starlink makes it possible – a stable internet connection makes mobile phone reception possible – so you can stay in touch with family and friends, post travel impressions etc. at any time. TV reception is also possible – although we assume that the view of nature is more attractive than any TV programme.
However, Starlink cannot be compared with a land-based 5G wireless connection. Despite all the modern technology, the data rate can be tight under unfavourable circumstances or when everyone wants to post videos at the same time.
The skipper has a strict zero alcohol policy while sailing in order not to jeopardise the safety of the yacht and passengers. Travellers are permitted to consume alcohol as long as it does not affect the journey or fellow travellers. Sun and salt water dry you out, so we recommend plenty of fluid intake in the form of water and fruit juices. However, there is nothing to be said against a glass of wine or two with a home-cooked meal or a paella in one of the harbours.
Costs
There are no additional costs for fuel, electricity, water etc. – these costs are covered by Tiki Bikini.
As our yacht has a fully equipped kitchen with induction hob, oven, microwave and large American fridge, cooking on board is possible without restrictions. As a rule, the travellers cook together and take turns every day with the shopping, meal preparation and washing up.

Departure
Yes, if your travel plans allow, you can hop on in Valencia and check out in Mallorca, for example.
Your luggage is usually not lost. Cabins and communal areas are thoroughly checked and cleaned after every journey. If you have forgotten your luggage, we can send it to your home address on request.
Follow-up
Yes, of course you have the right to make a complaint. However, we are convinced that this will not happen 🙂
We welcome all feedback and constructive criticism – which is why we welcome reviews – whether on Google, TripAdvisor or other platforms. Of course, you are also welcome to like and/or link to our social media profiles.
