For all young adults aged 30 to 45 who are travelling solo or with a few friends and have only 360-degree fun in mind, choosing a flotilla will definitely be the perfect choice. At the end of the week, within that large group of strangers, all so different from each other, you will find true friends and the funniest anecdotes of your experience together will come back to your mind many times in the following months, making you laugh for no apparent reason! August is the central month for flotillas, and you will find options to suit every taste in Italy, Croatia, Greece, or the Balearic Islands.

For many, August is the month to take advantage of the longest holiday period of the year, so why not use it to visit a destination a bit farther than usual? Some of the most beautiful Italian islands require more time to reach, such as the Maddalena Archipelago in Sardinia or the Aeolian and Egadi Islands in Sicily. Make the most of the available time to leisurely reach the departure port. Take a flight and save on luggage: rigid trolleys and bulky bags are not allowed on boats! Once you arrive, enjoy these purely Italian paradises perfect for a week-long sailing itinerary.

If instead Italy starts feeling too confining but you don't want to go too far, you'll surely find many offers for the Mediterranean islands closest to the boot. For example, every August many skippers head to the Ionian Islands of Greece for amazing itineraries in Corfu or further south to Zante and Lefkada. Sharing with Corfu for their famous nightlife, the Balearic Islands with Ibiza and Formentera are a destination for sailboats, gulets, and catamarans where you can even more comfortably enjoy the August sun and fun. Spending a week sailing in these destinations will allow you to truly explore them far and wide.
