A skipper will sail the yacht, take care of the boat and of course teach you how to sail (if you want!). They’ll take you to all the best swim spots throughout the week and help make your week extra special with their local knowledge! Your skipper will live on the yacht with you for the duration of your trip and you will need to provide three meals a day for your skipper (if you are not eating on board for that meal).

Your chef will plan a tailored menu for the week and take care of the food shopping on arrival. They’ll prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner (a maximum of three dinners per week) and will keep the galley area clean!

Absolutely! All our chefs are experts at cooking on board yachts and will be able to adapt their menu plans to suit everybody’s needs. You’ll be able to submit any dietary requirements you have to our team around 4 weeks before you depart!

A cabin booking is for 2 guests sharing a cabin together - you can book as 2 guys, 2 girls or a mixed cabin. If you're travelling solo you can also book a solo spot in a shared cabin and be paired with another like minded traveller of the same sex.

The type of yacht you’ll sail on will depend which package you select. Premium packages will sail on 47-50ft monohull yachts in Croatia & Greece and on 40ft catamarans in Tahiti. Luxury packages will sail on 40-42ft catamarans in Croatia & Greece and on 43-45ft catamarans in Tahiti.  All Luxury yachts have AC and generator.

You’ll be staying in a double cabin - please note that some cabins have double beds and some have bunk beds. You’ll be sharing bathrooms with the rest of your crew (our yachts typically have 2 or 3 bathrooms to be shared on board).

If you’ve booked a full yacht then it’s up to you how many people sail on board - you can choose to use all the available sleep spots, or you can opt for a more spacious living arrangement, however you will still need to pay the full price for the yacht.

What you do during the day is totally up to you, the crew and your skipper. Each day will vary, depending on the itinerary.

This is possible but due to the unavailability of ferries and transport between the islands in Tahiti, we don’t recommend it unless 100% necessary. Get in touch with our Customer Service team if you need more information.

You must be at least 21 to join our events, but aside from that anyone can join our events! Our events and itineraries are built with guests aged between 28 and 48 in mind. For Private Adventures there is no age limit but the lead booker must be over 21 and all guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Yes, the booking is paid in 3 instalments:

If you need to cancel within 30 days of making your booking there will be no cancellation fees, so we can offer you a full refund on any amount paid to the booking so far. (Please note that this free cancellation period will not apply within 180 days of the departure date.) 

Yes, but only in Greece and Croatia on our Classic Series. To book a double cabin for yourself simply contact the customer service team and they will adjust a cabin to a solo booking option and a reduced price. 

If you have rented a full yacht, your crew list must be completed by 4 weeks prior to departure. All your crew will need to check in online a minimum of 2 weeks before departure!

We will reach out to you around 4 weeks before your trip departs, and you can let us know then about your dietary restrictions.

With every booking it is mandatory to pay a damage deposit, just like a hotel or when you rent a car. This will either be for the whole yacht or by cabin depending on the type of booking. The damage deposit is paid directly to the charter company when you check-in at the marina. The deposit can be paid by credit card and is fully refundable provided there are no damages to the yacht. Most charter companies offer a damage waiver fee which is a small non-refundable deposit that covers any level of damages.

You will be introduced to your skipper and chef no later than 2 weeks prior to your trip but usually sooner. Your skipper and chef will then fine tune your itinerary and finalise your meal plan with any dietary requirements. 

There is not a lot of room for luggage although there is no maximum weight allowance. It is recommended that you use a soft bag, as it is easier to store without taking up space.

Yes, bed linen is provided as well as one shower towel per person. We advise you bring a beach towel for use during the day.

The yachts use DC power 220V and have European two round pin outlets. We recommend you bring a 12V adapter to charge your devices whilst sailing. If your yacht does not have a generator on board then full electrics and outlets will only be available when moored in the marina and connected to shore power.

Yes, most yachts come with speakers on board, so  remember to bring an AUX cable with you to connect your phone! Some guests also like to bring small portable speakers along with them too so they can listen to music whilst on the front of the yacht.

Definitely not! We have a lot of first time sailors and it is super exciting to explore this different method of travel and exploration; a mix of luxury and camping. We use high-quality yachts ideal for extended cruising but please be aware that the living space on board a sailing yacht is more compact than a standard hotel. We aim to make you as comfortable as possible so that you feel at home onboard within a few hours. Your skipper's number one priority is your safety and then your comfort, so if ever in doubt approach your skipper for assistance.

Yes, on group sailing products, the minimum age is 21. For Private Adventures there is no age limit but the lead booker must be over 21 and all guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
