Where Will We Sail? Your Yacht Trip — Your Route
When it comes to planning a sailing trip in Bulgaria, we don’t follow a rigid schedule. Instead, we start with your ideas. Whether you dream of exploring the ancient coastal towns of Sozopol or Nessebar, drifting down the scenic Ropotamo River delta, or reaching the popular island of St. Anastasia, we’ll tailor the itinerary to match your wishes.
We’ve designed a selection of sailing routes ranging from 3-hour outings to multi-day yacht tours. Each one was carefully tested and refined, covering the most captivating and picturesque places along Bulgaria’s southern Black Sea coast. For example, a short three-hour sail is perfect for a relaxed swim and a visit to St. Anastasia Island. If you’re drawn to the rhythm of the sea, five days aboard will take you from cape to cape, with unforgettable sunrises and sunsets as your backdrop. You’ll find more about extended trips on our Yacht Tours page.
That said, all routes are flexible. When you book a yacht with us, you decide where to go — we simply make it happen. This is why we don’t publish fixed schedules. We’re here to follow your lead, not the clock.
All our sailing yacht trips begin and end at the modern marina in Sarafovo — a quiet seaside district of Burgas, conveniently close to the airport. Getting here is easy: a local taxi will bring you directly to the marina, or you can catch intercity buses from nearby suburbs. Bus No. 15 connects Sarafovo with the city center. If needed, we’ll gladly recommend a trusted local transfer company.
Want to start your yacht cruise from somewhere else? We can also arrange pick-up from other port on Bulgaria’s southern coast. Just note that this requires additional fees for the yacht transfer and mooring services at the requested port, which will cost more than a standard land transfer.
A 3-hour trip
For a short but full experience, we recommend a three-hour yacht trip in the morning (around 9–10 AM) or in the evening — just in time to catch the sunset at sea. The trip starts from the marina in Sarafovo. From there, we can sail toward St. Anastasia Island. You’re welcome to go ashore (entry is 3 BGN per person) or enjoy the island from the water. There's also time for swimming — either near the island or in the calm Tzigansko Bay. Along the way, you'll see a different side of the coast: the fishing village of Ribarso Selishte, offshore tankers, and quiet wild beaches. The evening trip is especially beautiful — sunset at sea is hard to forget.
A 5-hour trip
Our five-hour sailing trip usually starts around 10 AM from the marina in Sarafovo. This route includes everything from the three-hour itinerary — a visit to St. Anastasia Island, views of the shoreline, quiet bays, and coastal sights — but goes farther, beyond Burgas. The highlight of the trip is a remote and beautiful bay near Cape Akin. It’s our furthest point and, in many ways, the most peaceful. The water there is always calm and clear — ideal for a long, relaxed swim in a place that feels entirely your own. This extended version of the route gives more time to enjoy the sea, unwind on deck, and discover spots you’d never see from land.
A 8-hour trip
For those who want to spend the whole day at sea, we usually start early in the morning — or later in the day if you’d prefer to catch the sunset from the water. In the first part of the trip, we visit St. Anastasia Island, then stop for a swim in the quiet bay near Cape Akin, where the water is always calm and perfectly clear. Afterwards, we sail toward the wild islands of St. Ivan and St. Peter. These uninhabited places are home to seabird colonies, and near the shoreline, you’ll often find mussels clinging to the rocks. You’re welcome to collect — and if you’d like, our captain can cook them for you right on board.
Our 24-hour sailing trip includes the full 8-hour coastal program, followed by a peaceful night on board — either anchored in a quiet bay or moored at one of the local marinas. You’ll sleep under the stars, and we’ll return to Sarafovo the next morning.
