Skippered Charters
Skippered charter may be the best way to get the most out of your holiday sailing. It may be ideal for those who may not be very experienced yachtsmen but who want to explore new and exiting waters or who just want to relax and enjoy living aboard without the hassle and responsibility of skippering the boat. It is a great way for a group or family who have not sailed on a two masted yacht before to enjoy something different whilst our experienced skippers know the best and safest anchorages to go for diving, snorkelling, swimming and wildlife.
Let us help you to take the strain of planning and responsibility for the boat to make sure you get the best from your holiday sailing experience. Start by sending your query and checking availability.
