Search Sailing Destinations
search_locationsRead-only
Find marinas, harbours and anchorages three ways: by NAME (q), by POPULARITY within an area (region/country/city — ranked on observed AIS vessel traffic for a month), or by REACH from a place you already have (from + within_nm) — where boats are actually recorded sailing to from there, with measured passage times. Use from for "where can I sail from X", "what is a day sail from X", "somewhere quieter nearby". Provide q, or an area, or from.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | Name search (min 2 chars). Optional when an area filter is given. | |
| city | No | ||
| from | No | Origin location id (or slug) to sail FROM — take it from an earlier search_locations or get_location_details result. Returns places boats were tracked sailing to from there. | |
| sort | No | Default popularity = real vessel traffic for the month; boats = charter fleet size; rating = Google rating | |
| type | No | Kind of place — e.g. anchorage for "quiet bays"; spot = an unclassified stop (beach, spit, headland) | |
| limit | No | ||
| month | No | Month to rank popularity for (default: current month) | |
| region | No | Sailing region as the guest says it: Dalmatia, Istria, Kvarner, the Ionian, the Saronic, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Sporades | |
| country | No | Country name or 2-letter code | |
| within_nm | No | How far, in nautical miles, for a "from" search. Default 35. Pick the ring by time — a charter boat makes about 6 knots, plus 30 minutes to leave and arrive, so: 10nm ≈ 2.2h, 20nm ≈ 3.8h, 35nm ≈ 6.3h, 55nm ≈ 9.7h, 100nm ≈ 17.2h. A full charter day of sailing is roughly 6-8h, which makes 35nm a comfortable day sail and 55nm a long one. |
