Do I have to know how to sail?
No, your Skipper will be a fully qualified Yacht Master, with full capability of helming the yacht independently. You can take part in the sailing of the yacht as much or as little as you like. However, they will occasionally need some assistance while anchoring in the ports.
Is the sailing programs presented on website is definitively?
All our sailing programs presented on our website depend of weather conditions. So in some situations we will not be able to follow the program exactly as described and suggested, but our skippers would need to make modifications along the route. Our skippers will always consult you and explain possibilities for each day, so you could decide together what to do and where to go.
A typical day
A typical day on your weeks holiday will include breakfast aboard our Yacht, followed by 1-5 hours sailing to a new destination. We’ll stop for lunch on the Yacht and then you’ll have an opportunity to explore the destination or stay close to the Yacht and enjoy swimming, snorkelling, fishing or just relax in the sun. In the evening we’ll either take harbour on a new island and enjoy the local cuisine or have a BBQ on a secluded beach.
Packing & Travel • FAQs
What should I pack for my sailing holiday?
We suggest packing casual summer attire, swimwear, beach towel and appropriate footwear. We advise against hard-cased, wheelie suitcases. The less you pack, the more room on board and in your cabin, making for a more comfortable sailing holiday!
On which days does the yacht charter start and end?
For our one week sailing holidays our trips depart Saturday afternoon and return Friday evenings, for final check out at 9 am Saturday morning.
