A way of life, not just a business
Essence Sailing is not just a business idea: it is a way of life. It comes from 13 years working on board, a deep love for the sea, and a real commitment to leaving the lightest possible mark on it. We prepare each boat one at a time, with care and without rushing, and we train our captains by sailing together. Our clients are guests, our boats are homes, and our crew are creators of experiences with essence.

Are you a boat owner?
The Essence touch for your boat
We manage other people’s catamarans, and catamarans only, from 40 to 80 feet. We maintain them, crew them and charter them for as many weeks a year as possible, with a Balearic season and a Caribbean season, moving them somewhere different year after year so that both you and the clients get to sail new places.
Catamarans only, and it is deliberate
From 40 to 80 feet, with the 45 to 60 foot range the most in demand. Specialising in one type of boat lets us specialise in one type of client and build a long relationship with them.
Two seasons a year
The Balearics from May to October and the Caribbean from December to March. Plus other winter destinations when the owner asks for one, or when our own client base does.
A catamaran that does not feel like a charter boat
Real water toys, diving gear on board, games, music and open-air cinema. We want whoever steps aboard to say they have not seen this on any other catamaran, and to feel at home.
Cared for as if she were ours
Scheduled checks by system and by hours, not when something fails. With a documented history of dates, parts and invoices, which is part of the value of the boat.
A crew that stays
Professionals, properly paid, trained by us in how life on board should feel, with real scope to have a life outside work. A team that comes back knows your boat and does not start from zero every May.
You will always know how she is
Status reports with photos without having to ask, detailed statements, and one point of contact who knows your boat and answers.
