Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Most of our yachts have to come with an owner’s representative (boat captain). This person isn’t there to be the skipper and they can fit into your team wherever you want but they are there to keep the insurance company happy, to help you get the best performance from the boat and minimise avoidable damage. If you are a good team I hope you can appreciate the value this person can add with their knowledge of the boat and her setup.

Individuals or small groups who want to sail together and don’t want to charter a whole boat can pay ‘per person’ and join a mixed ability crew, sailing with a professional skipper. Join a team, learn some new racing skills and have fun at the same time!

The crew will work hard to ensure that you have a great and safe time on board. If you would like to tip the crew we would suggest that a typical tip is between 5 and 10%.

If you decide to venture out as a group and wish to include the permanent crew, please remember that what is your holiday is their job.

If you would like to show your appreciation for all their hard work in making your holiday a success by asking them to join you for a night out, then please be kind enough to pay for their expenses.
