Why book through an agency?

Unlike aggregator websites, we provide personal service from start to finish.

Personal boat recommendations

We put real effort into choosing the right boat for you, drawing on years of first-hand experience. We know the boats personally and match the best one for your group, budget, and sailing level.

Best price guarantee

We compare prices across multiple charter companies to find you the best deal. Same boats, better service.

Same prices, better service

Our commission is already included in the charter price β€” that's an industry standard worldwide. You never pay extra for our service. We use the same booking systems as the big aggregator websites, so whatever is available there is available in our quotes too.

Route planning help

Get personalised route suggestions based on weather patterns, your experience, and local knowledge.

Support during your charter

Problems at the marina? Questions about the boat? We're one call away throughout your trip. We also handle any issues with the charter company on your behalf, including damage disputes and complaints.

Real sailing knowledge

Our team are experienced sailors who have sailed the boats and routes we recommend.

How it works

Six simple steps from enquiry to sailing

1

Free quote & consultation

Tell us your dates, group size, budget, and preferred destination. We'll send you a personalised selection of yachts within 24 hours.

2

Boat placed on option

Once you've chosen a yacht, we place it 'on option' β€” it's pre-reserved for you and no one else can book it. You'll have a couple of days to think it over, discuss with friends, and confirm.

3

30–50% deposit at booking

Once you've confirmed, secure the yacht with a 30–50% deposit. We handle all the paperwork with the charter company.

4

Remaining balance before departure

Pay the remaining balance 30–45 days before your charter start date.

5

Base costs at the marina

At check-in you'll pay local costs: transit log, cleaning fee, and any optional extras you've requested. All costs are transparent and agreed before contract signature. You'll also leave a security deposit at the base (typically €2,000–5,000), usually held on a credit card. In some cases, cash is accepted.

6

Full support during your trip

We're available throughout your charter for any questions, route advice, or if any problems arise.
