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.

Your Explorer trip will include six or seven nights on board, helmed by your RYA Yachtmaster Skipper, half board meals with wine prepared by your professional host. Standard yacht supplies such as towels and bed linen for the week, paddleboards and snorkelling gear will also be included!

Visas, travel insurance, flights, extra activities, evening meals, gratuity and excursions are not included. Please contact us if you require further information on travelling to any of our destinations or if you need any assistance with your travel plans.

Our trips are 6-night experiences, starting on Saturday and concluding the following Friday. The check-in and check-out times can differ depending on the Explorer itineraries. For detailed timing information, please see our Route Guides or feel free to reach out to us at [email protected], and let us know which destination you're interested in!

Half board includes breakfast and lunch on board your yacht. The continental breakfast features local produce and fresh coffee, with a hot option each morning that could be sweet or savoury, like pancakes, scrambled eggs, or freshly baked muffins. Lunch will be a classic Mediterranean meal paired with fresh bread and salads, and we cater to any dietary requirements you provide. All meals are made with the best local ingredients, and regional wines and soft drinks will be available to complement your meals.

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.

Not for sailing. The temperatures are warm enough that you can stay barefoot onboard your yacht or even just a pair of flip-flops. We do recommend a decent pair of shoes for any shore-side walking excursions or if you choose to go cycling or hire a moped for the afternoon.

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.

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.

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.
