Pricing, Terms & Conditions and Booking Form

The skippers will act as your guide to the boat and local waters. They will enjoy showing people new places and letting them into their secrets — about sailing, the best places to swim, to eat, etc. Their guidance enables you to sail the yacht yourself if you wish, whether or not you are inexperienced, in the knowledge that a trained eye is in constant attendance. It’s a great way to learn. Training will be provided to whatever level required and with RYA certification in mind. Whether or not you are an experienced sailor, a skippered yacht can be a relaxed and informative way of exploring new cruising grounds or experimenting with unfamiliar yachts, perhaps one bigger than you’re used to.
