1) Availability and steps in booking a sail boat

Pick your travel period, check availability, and confirm your dates with a simple step-by-step process.

Step 2

Check availability. Contact us by email or by phone to check if your preferred dates are available.

Please feel free to ask us questions about the sailing holiday and the aspects of the trip that are important to you.

Step 3

In less than 24 hours we reply with details and availability for your requested dates.

If the boat is already booked, we can suggest the closest period available.

Step 4

Once you confirm you want to proceed, we place a complimentary hold on your intended dates and forward the charter contract.

This temporary hold is usually valid for a few days, giving you time to review the contract and organize travel arrangements.

To confirm the booking, the initial payment is usually 50% or 35% of the charter rate.

Up to this point there are no obligations. If your plans change, you can simply skip the deposit and the hold expires.

Step 5

After we receive the initial payment, we forward the payment confirmation plus useful pre-arrival information.

You also receive guidance about what to bring, where to find the boat, and practical details before embarkation.

DONE - your yacht is booked. Congratulations!

Your dates are confirmed and your sailing holiday planning can continue with route and travel details.
