Frequently Asked Questions

Expand all | Collapse all

?Are the trips suitable for children?

Children are welcome on private charters and family cruises. Unfortunately, any guests under the age of 18 will not be permitted on shared cabin cruises.

?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! We also recommend packing a portable charger, any medication needed and your own reusable water bottle. If you are travelling in May or September, we recommend bringing a lightweight jacket and long trousers.

?Can you cater for dietary requirements on board?

Yes. Our Hosts are well-equipped to cater for any specialist dietary requirements. We also recommend supplementing your meals with suitable specialist foods, as the variety in smaller towns can be quite limited.

?Can I bring my own food and drink on board?

Yes, all our cruises are 'bring your own' snacks and alcohol. There are supermarkets or local stores at the majority of our destinations, so you can replenish your supplies throughout the week. Guests are allowed to stock the yacht with whatever drinks and snacks they choose.

?Can you recommend places for dining out at night?

For dinner, you can choose from the range of restaurants and bars on offer at each of our destinations. Your crew will be happy to help with recommendations.
