An unforgettable day on the water! I sailed with Fran and Sandra, top professionals who made the whole charter super enjoyable and entertaining from the very start.
What is this tour like?
Sail a Bavaria 46 Cruiser off Valencia in the very waters that once hosted the America's Cup. Pick a relaxed day charter, a sunset sail or a genuine guided regatta, with a skipper on hand whenever you want one.
On a regatta day you practise real manoeuvres and cross a start line in the bay; on a charter you simply cruise the coast at your own pace. Cabin-charter trips onward to Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca are offered too, so it suits everyone from first-timers to keen sailors.

What do guests say?
“An unforgettable day on the water! I sailed with Fran and Sandra, top professionals who made the whole charter super enjoyable and entertaining from the very start.”
“An unforgettable time aboard the Bavaria 46 — we cruised the Valencia coast, enjoying the sea, the views and the great atmosphere with the crew.”
“I’ve now done several regatta days with Illuka, which says a lot about how happy I am with them. Crossing the start line in the bay never gets old, and the owner puts his whole heart into it.”
“What a day — a regatta outing with the family! It got quite windy and a bit bumpy at one point, but the crew kept it all warmth and good vibes. Humble, lovely people.”
“A good day out on the bay. It felt a touch pricey and the wind was light so we motored more than I’d hoped, but the skipper looked after me throughout and I’d still recommend it.”
