Sailing

I'm a solo traveler, can I join your sailing trip?

We actually get many request from solo travelers wanting to join the trip. We normally look very carefully at all our travelers and select the 8 most suited persons for each boat. 

I have never sailed before, can I join?

Yes, you don’t need any sailing experience for this adventure. If you would like to learn the basics, we are more than happy to teach you the ropes!

Is this sailing adventure suited for children?

Yes, our yacht is perfect for the whole family. We have life jackets for young and old on board. And we can arrange special floaties for children. 

This option is only available as private charter. 

How much do we sail every day?

Depending on the weather, but on average 3 hours a day.

What do I bring with me?

It’s very easy to over-pack for your holiday. Especially on a yacht there is not a lot of storage space. Have a good look at our suggested packing list.

The Yacht

With who will I share my cabin with?

We will do our best to match up the best possible participants. We will always try to match up the same gender in one cabin.

If you have any preferences, please let us know.

What kind of suitcase/ bag should I bring on board?

Please do not bring any hardshell suitcases on board. They are difficult to store. In our experience you don’t need that much clothes during your sailing trip.

What kind of shoes can I bring on the yacht?

We don’t allow shoes on the yacht, as it’s very hard to remove the markings from the white deck. If you do bring shoes for the yacht, makes sure they do not have dark soles underneath.

Of course you can use other shoes when we go out in the evening during restaurant visits. 

What type of sockets are there on the yacht?

The yacht is equiped with type-c (European) sockets and USB ports. Every cabin has both type of sockets (see image).

However we do organise a team cooking event during one of our evenings. Other nights we will discover the local kitchen of the island.

Is it common to tip the crew at the end of the week?

This is a question we receive a lot. This is not obligatory. However in the yachting world it’s a sign of appreciation towards the crew for all their hard work during the week. But again, this is totally up to you.
