Cruising / Independent

Sailing and Social Group

The Cruising Group does not own boats but networks with owners requiring crew and always manages some exciting cruises!

Hi  I'm Heather.


Join Our Cruising / Independent Community!

Along with the cruising group, we also have the Independent Group where sailors who don't sail anymore but like to be in SAMM for the social side to meet up for coffee or lunch or to play golf and go to SAMM monthly meetings. 


We remain committed to fostering sailing adventures while navigating current challenges:


Important Update Regarding European Waters:


• Limited sailing opportunities due to Schengen visa restrictions


• Post-Brexit regulations have reduced available yacht capacity


• Many vessels have left EU cruising grounds


Open Invitation to Yacht Owners:


We warmly welcome skippers with seaworthy vessels to collaborate on day sailing opportunities. If you'd like to take SAMM members out for trial sails or coastal exploration, please reach out!


Let's keep the spirit of sailing alive through shared experiences.


If you are interested please contact me at this email address. cisailing3@gmail.com

The Mar Menor

SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor), is based on the shores of the Mar Menor in Murcia, southern Spain. We have over 300 days of sunshine each year and the climate is perfect for sailing.

The Mar Menor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmar meˈnor], "Minor sea") is a salty lagoon, in the south-east of the autonomous community of Murcia, in Spain, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by La Manga, a sandbar 22 km in length and with a width ranging from 100 to 1,200 metres. It belongs to four municipalities: Cartagena, Los Alcázares, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar. With a surface area of nearly 170 km², a coastal length of 70 km, and warm and clear water no more than 7 metres in depth, it is the ideal location to go sailing. Its relatively high salinity, which aids flotation, and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for a wide variety of water sports. If you want to enjoy sailing on the Mar Menor, you can get in touch by using our Contact Page on this website or  email the secretary
