Question 1

What is Wild Workation?

Accepted Answer

Wild Workation is a company that organises yacht workations aboard catamarans in the Mediterranean and Andaman Sea. We run 7-day voyages for remote professionals across three destinations: Turkey (Göcek–Fethiye Bay, Turquoise Coast), Greece (Cyclades, Lavrio to Santorini), and Thailand (Andaman Sea, Phuket to Ko Haa). Every voyage is led by a professional skipper and equipped with a 5G router with a local SIM card.

Question 2

What is a yacht workation?

Accepted Answer

A yacht workation is a remote work format where you live and work aboard a sailing catamaran while moving between islands and anchorages. Mornings are focused work with 4G internet; afternoons are a sail to the next stop; evenings are for swimming, shore, and dinner. The work block and free time are cleanly separated — which makes the format more productive than most home office setups.

Question 3

Who are Wild Workation cruises for?

Accepted Answer

Wild Workation cruises are for remote professionals who can independently manage their own work schedule: software developers, designers, marketers, analysts, freelancers, entrepreneurs. The key requirement is the ability to work autonomously during morning hours (approximately 9:00–13:00). No sailing experience is needed.

Question 4

How is a sailing workation different from a regular yacht charter?

Accepted Answer

A regular charter is a leisure trip; Wild Workation is a voyage built around remote work. Key differences: the daily schedule protects morning work hours, every yacht carries a high-speed 5G marine router, the group consists exclusively of remote professionals, and passages between anchorages are planned after the work block ends — not during it.

Question 5

Is it actually more productive to work from a yacht?

Accepted Answer

According to feedback from our participants — yes. A morning at anchor is structured: no dress code, no office interruptions, no pointless meetings. 4–6 hours of focused work with the sea waiting afterwards creates a natural deadline that sharpens focus. Most participants report completing as much as a full office day, but with considerably less effort.

Question 6

Which countries and destinations does Wild Workation sail to?

Accepted Answer

Wild Workation runs voyages across three destinations: (1) Turkey — workation cruise through the Göcek–Fethiye National Marine Park, Turquoise Coast; (2) Greece — Cyclades workation (Lavrio to Santorini via Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Folegandros); (3) Thailand — Andaman Sea sailing vacation (Phuket to Phi Phi, Ko Lanta, Ko Haa).

Question 7

How large is the group on each cruise?

Accepted Answer

6–8 guests per catamaran. This is the optimal size: large enough for interesting company, small enough that everyone has their own workspace and personal space. Full charters are available for teams and private groups.

Question 8

Is there reliable internet on a yacht in the Mediterranean?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Wild Workation yacht carries a 5G router with a local SIM: Turkcell/Vodafone in Turkey, Cosmote/Vodafone Greece in Greece. Real-world speeds at anchor: 20–50 Mbps. Sufficient for video calls, code deploys, cloud tools, and file transfers. Coverage is stable 90% of the time; routes are planned with reliable signal zones in mind.

Question 9

Can I run Zoom calls and video meetings from the yacht?

Accepted Answer

Yes — video calls work stably when the yacht is at anchor, which is most of the day. Brief drops can occur during passages or in very remote anchorages. We recommend scheduling critical meetings for morning hours: at anchor, in the quiet cockpit or saloon, with a consistent signal.

Question 10

Where can I work on the catamaran?

Accepted Answer

Every Wild Workation catamaran has three work zones: (1) cockpit — open stern deck with a sun shade, large table, and 220V outlets; (2) panoramic saloon — enclosed, air-conditioned, with a table for 6–8; (3) foredeck — for those who prefer working in the sun by the water. Internet and power available at every spot.

Question 11

How many hours a day can I realistically work on a yacht workation?

Accepted Answer

Most participants work 5–6 focused hours per day, typically 9:00–14:00. This is comparable to a productive meeting-free office day. Passages are planned for the afternoon, so the morning work block stays untouched.

Question 12

Do I need sailing experience to join a Wild Workation cruise?

Accepted Answer

No sailing experience is needed. The yacht is operated by a licensed professional skipper. Participants need no skills. If you want to learn the basics of sailing — the skipper will happily teach you during the voyage itself.

Question 13

What are the cabins like on the catamaran?

Accepted Answer

Double cabins: a double bed or two singles, air conditioning, 220V and USB outlets, a small wardrobe, and a porthole. Hot-water shower bathroom shared between 2–3 cabins depending on the yacht. Fresh bedding and towels provided for every guest. Cabin size is comparable to a compact hotel room.

Question 14

How much does a Wild Workation yacht workation cost?

Accepted Answer

A berth on a 7-day workation cruise costs from €1,100 (early bird, Turkey) to €1,500 (standard price, Greece). A full private cabin for two: €2,200–2,400. Included: 7 nights on the catamaran, skipper, fuel, port fees, bedding, and onboard internet. Extra: flights, marina transfer, and meals ashore.

Question 15

What is included in the price of a cruise?

Accepted Answer

Every Wild Workation berth includes: 7 nights on the catamaran, skipper services, fuel, anchorage and port fees, bedding and towels, 5G router with local SIM, basic snorkelling gear, and yacht cleaning.

Question 16

What is not included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Not included: flights to the departure port, airport–marina transfer, meals ashore (lunches/dinners at restaurants, €10–25 per person), alcohol, personal expenses, shore excursions, scuba diving, and skipper gratuity (optional, typically 5–10%).

Question 17

Can I charter the whole yacht for my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full yacht charter (up to 8 berths) is available for teams, families, or corporate retreats. The route, schedule, and programme are tailored to your needs. A charter for 6+ people is more cost-effective than booking individual berths. Contact us for a quote.

Question 18

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

The 30% booking deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to another voyage if cancelled 30+ days before departure. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the voyage. If Wild Workation cancels due to weather or force majeure — full refund or rebooking.

Question 19

How do I book a Wild Workation cruise?

Accepted Answer

Choose a cruise on the website, select your cabin type, and fill in the booking form. We confirm availability and send payment details within 24 hours. A 30% deposit holds your spot on the voyage.

Question 20

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking 4–8 weeks ahead of your preferred dates. Peak-season sailings (July–August) often fill up 2–3 months in advance. Popular destinations (Santorini, Phi Phi) tend to sell out earliest.

Question 21

What should I pack for a yacht workation?

Accepted Answer

Essentials: laptop, noise-cancelling headphones, chargers and a power strip, light clothing, swimwear, flip-flops and shoes for shore, SPF 50+ sunscreen, a light jacket for evenings. Snorkelling gear is provided on board. Replace hard suitcases with soft duffel bags — they fit the cabin storage much better.

Question 22

Do I need travel insurance for a yacht workation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we require travel insurance with water sports and activities coverage for all participants. A policy costs €20–50 per week and typically covers medical treatment, evacuation, and trip cancellation.

Question 23

What if I get seasick?

Accepted Answer

The Mediterranean and Phang Nga Bay are among the calmest sailing waters in their respective regions. At anchor there is virtually no motion. If you are prone to seasickness, bring Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) or Sea-Band acupressure wristbands. The body adapts within 1–2 days.

Question 24

What is the best time of year for a yacht workation?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the destination. Turkey and Greece (Mediterranean): May–October; the best months for a workation are May–June and September–October (fewer tourists, milder weather). Thailand (Andaman Sea): November–April (dry season only). The most comfortable periods for productive work are the shoulder months — before and after peak tourist season.

Question 25

What kind of people join Wild Workation cruises?

Accepted Answer

Predominantly remote professionals aged 25–45: developers, designers, marketers, product managers, freelancers, startup founders. 40–50% of participants join solo. Shared interests — remote work, the sea, unconventional travel — bring the group together quickly. Many participants stay in touch well after the voyage.

Question 26

Is a yacht workation suitable for introverts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No socialising is forced. You can work in your private cabin with headphones, swim alone, and read on the foredeck. Evening dinners and activities are an opportunity, not an obligation. The format is equally comfortable for those who want company and those who value personal space.
