Cabin charter - Faq and Guides

In this section, we periodically collect answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding participation in our activities. If you cannot find the answer to your question, please contact us directly and we will provide all the information you need.

ORGANIZATION

During the booking process, we provide all logistical information and assistance. On our website and in our communications, you will find all details regarding embarkation and disembarkation locations, schedules, and meeting points.

Travel arrangements and related costs are the responsibility of the participants.

Crew composition is managed by us based on the bookings received, with the aim of creating well-balanced and enjoyable groups.

Participants may express a preference to sail with a specific skipper or with previous travel companions. We always try to accommodate such requests, but we cannot guarantee the final crew composition at the time of booking.

Approximately one week before embarkation, we will create a WhatsApp group with all participants—an opportunity to connect, get to know each other, and exchange useful information.

All relevant details are provided in the description of each activity. Our boats are typically over 45 feet in length, always comfortable and fully equipped for the planned navigation.

The characteristics of the boats used for each activity are clearly specified in each activity page.

In the case of flotillas, we will assign participants across boats of similar type and standard, ensuring balanced and enjoyable crews.

ACCOMODATIONS

Cabins are not pre-assigned. You and the rest of the crew, with the support of the onboard staff, will arrange yourselves among the cabins, which have similar features and identical equipment.

When choosing, cooperate as a good crew, trying to accommodate everyone’s needs and keeping in mind that cabins are mainly used for resting.

Ask the onboard staff who you will be sharing the cabin with. As a general rule, guests who do not know each other are assigned cabins with larger beds.

If there are available berths, the crew will sleep in a cabin. When the boat is fully occupied, the dinette will be converted into a sleeping area.

On boats equipped with a crew cabin, the crew may use that accommodation.

For operational or supervision reasons, the crew may choose to sleep in the dinette or in outdoor areas, which must therefore be kept available for this purpose.

SAILING LIFE

Space on board is limited, so it is important to use it efficiently. Hard suitcases or trolleys are not suitable and cannot be brought on board.

Tip: use a soft bag. If you prefer wheels, consider bringing a foldable luggage trolley.

Everyone who goes sailing initially tends to bring too much, but with experience you realize that only a few essential items are actually needed.

Depending on the time of year, you should choose clothing suitable for living and sailing comfortably.

Days on board can be very warm, but after sunset or in windy conditions it can become cool and humid.

A non-exhaustive packing list (excluding personal items and evening outfits) may include:

T-shirts
long-sleeve polo/shirt
fleece/sweatshirt
pants / casual trousers
shorts
sneakers / sailing shoes
sunglasses
windbreaker jacket
swimsuit
hat
thermal base layer (winter only)

Tip: don’t worry if you don’t have technical sailing gear—just bring comfortable, warm clothing. For thermal wear, stores like Decathlon offer everything you need.

When docked in port, the situation is similar to home: onboard power outlets can be used to charge phones and other devices.

During navigation, charging may be available—subject to the skipper’s permission—via USB sockets or a portable inverter.

Tip: power banks are very useful, as they can be charged when possible and used to recharge smartphones and tablets multiple times.

Fresh water on board comes from the tanks, which are filled before departure and whenever possible during the trip.

We select boats with good autonomy, but water is always a limited resource. With a bit of care, it can be managed without inconvenience.

Tip: never let water run unnecessarily—even at home.

CREW

You will be welcomed and supported by two people on each boat: a skipper and a crew staff member. Not many organizations provide two people on board; for us, this has always been an essential requirement to ensure well-rounded, safe, and carefully organized experiences.

If an activity involves only one crew member or a different crew structure, this will be clearly indicated in the activity description.

The skipper is responsible for all decisions regarding navigation and the safety of the boat and crew.

They encourage everyone’s collaboration, share knowledge of sailing and seamanship, and involve those who wish in maneuvers, steering, and mooring operations.

During more demanding navigation moments, should they occur, the skipper requires that all instructions be followed promptly to ensure everyone’s safety.

Note: this has never happened, but if any participant behaves in a way that endangers the safety or well-being of the crew, the captain has the full and unquestionable authority to disembark those responsible.

The crew staff supports the skipper in managing the boat, maneuvers, and the group. They plan and organize both onshore and onboard activities, prepare the boat together with the skipper, and—when applicable—handle the initial provisioning and manage supplies to offer you a journey that is also a culinary experience.

Together with the group, they help plan and prepare fresh, tasty, Mediterranean-style meals.

They coordinate life on board, involving everyone in keeping the boat tidy and ready for navigation. They also manage the shared onboard fund and keep transparent records of expenses.

Get involved and take part.

The crew is the most important element for the success of a trip, and everyone is part of it—each contributing their own skills, abilities, and personality.

When everyone collaborates, onboard tasks become quick and simple, time is used efficiently, and the journey flows smoothly—allowing more time to enjoy, explore, and sail to as many places and experiences as possible.

Each person will take part in shared activities such as cooking teams, dishwashing teams, or preparing aperitifs—fun moments that encourage connection and group spirit.
