Looking for a Bareboat? Check these advantages of sailing with us:

• Cheaper

  1. Food aboard included, except dinner.
  2. As much tea and coffee as you like, free.
  3. Fuel for both the yacht and dinghy, and cooking gas, included.
  4. Lower harbour charges, as we can often anchor for free on occasions where you would otherwise feel obliged to take a berth in harbour.
  5. The yacht is equipped with a watermaker, also reducing the reliance on port facilities.
  6. No security deposit.
  7. No long lists of extras.
  8. Fantastic low prices!

• Easier

  1. Start and end on any day of the week, and take advantage of those great flight offers.
  2. Caught out by contrary winds? Don't worry, leave the yacht where convenient, and find your way to your departure point overland or by ferry.
  3. Arrange your holiday one-way, to take advantage of the prevailing summer winds.
  4. No shopping expedition to begin, and no cleaning up at the end. Just tell us your food foibles before you come, and relax.
  5. No waiting in a long cue to refuel the yacht on the last day.
  6. Not sure where best to go? Just ask your Captain.

• Safer

  1. With an experienced and qualified captain the chances of accidents is much less, and recovery probability increased.
  2. With local knowledge and experience aboard we can often avoid making errors of judgement with regard to the weather and itinerary.
  3. Leave the yacht at anchor when you go off ashore, secure in the knowledge that all will be well when you return.

• More Fun

  1. Find the best anchorages and nicest places.
  2. Stress free holiday - no anxious moments in crowded harbours.
  3. We're equipped with water toys for the kids (inflatable banana and kayak, and others as available).
  4. Barbecue for dinners aboard at anchor - see Food section.
