Constantly immersed in the elements and away from the noise of modern society, we are naturally drawn to stay connected in the present moment.
Then, the mind that deceives quiets down, along with its noise…
The boarding options on Ikigai are designed to offer you more than just an exotic vacation. We want you to fully experience the benefits of this lifestyle on both body and mind, reconnecting with yourself and nature while making space for your passions and learning new skills in a safe, healthy, and judgment-free environment.
We have found that one-week stays—especially after long periods of stress or intercontinental flights—are often not enough to fully embrace the magical rhythm of life on board. They also don’t allow for deeper and more fulfilling interpersonal connections.
For this reason, we have designed a monthly boarding formula, which can be divided into two 15-day stays if you are unable to remain on board for a full month.
The contribution required for this experience is significantly lower than market prices but aligns with our mission: to help as many people as possible, through our experience and the benefits of life at sea, to visualize and start cultivating their own Ikigai.
This option, available year-round, allows you to board for a one-week trial period, after which, if both parties are satisfied, you can pay the difference to complete a full month onboard.
Whether you are a sailing enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a refreshing break from daily life, Ikigai Sailing is your escape from the Matrix.

Testimonials
Merci à Luca et Brano pour cette formidable expérience à bord de leur superbe catamaran. Ces quelques jours de croisière entre la Dominique et la Martinique resteront l’une de mes plus belles expériences en mer. Découverte des fonds marins, cours de voile, séance guidée de respiration le tout accompagné d’une cuisine soignée, de cabines et espaces communs très confortables mais surtout d’une gentillesse et d’une bonne humeur permanentes…rien ne manque à bord. Je recommande très vivement!
È stato un viaggio fantastico fuori dal tempo e dal mondo! Ci siamo lasciati trasportare da vento e onde fino alle isole più remote dei caraibi… Tobago Cays, Saint Vincent, Saint Lucia, Bequia.. ogni giorno una nuova sorpresa, ricca di emozioni e coinvolgimento! Un sogno i tramonti morbidi in barca, due risate tra amici e un bicchiere, introduzione al free diving, le nuotate tra tartarughe marine e mante!…
The time spent on the catamaran IKIGAI left me with unforgettable moments and experiences from the island of Dominica. The food on the boat was delicious, especially the fresh caught and prepared fish and the Italian spaghetti carbonara was the best I have ever eaten. Both guys Brano and Luca are not only great freedivers but also chefs!
Thank you Brano and Luca for activities like spearfishing and freediving, snorkeling and guided tour of Dominica Island connected with swimming in waterfalls with crystal clear water in conjunction with thermal springs….
“Absolutely amazing experience. Aware of needs, friendly, knowledgeable, attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
A floating home with strangers that became friends. That was my experience on Ikigai boat.
A dream coming true, where I was all the time next to the sea, with all the comfort I love to have in my daily life; I´m talking about waking up in the middle of paradise, jumping in the water, visit the reef, having a double espresso, do my work out, jump in the water again, have a delicious breakfast, water again, delicious lunch, freediving, watching the sunset, delicious dinner, watching the stars and repeat! Plus a lot of sea adventures here and there…
My vacation on Ikigai was absolutely fantastic! Not only did I get to enjoy the stunning views of the ocean every day, but I also had the opportunity to meet some truly amazing people. The atmosphere on board was so welcoming and friendly, it felt like we were all old friends by the end of the trip….
“What a lovely and crazy experience I had on board with this crew! You have all you need on this boat, it’s very confortable. And the most amazing part is the kindness of the crew. They want you to live the best experience ever. The Food is excellent!
Sunset with whales 🐳 is unforgettable. Merci”
“Stepping on Ikigai you immediately feel welcome and free. A stylish vessel to get out there and explore. Luca and Brano know what they’re doing and are great people to be around. Thanks guys!
