The skipper – and any crew members, if applicable – sleeps in a dedicated cabin, separate from those reserved for guests, which is not included in the count of guest cabins shown on the boat listing.

Double cabins are usually assigned to those traveling as a couple, those who book individually share a cabin with another traveler, or have to reserve a cabin for exclusive use. Seats are assigned in order of reservation, except in special cases.

Yes, it is possible to reserve a single cabin, but in this case the price is equal to that of two shares.

The purchase of the galley will be made by the skipper/crew, based on a previously shared proposal that guests can modify

The skipper lends a hand, but the preparation of meals, as well as tidying up is an activity shared by all participants in the experience.

The contribution in rotation from all participants for the common areas is appreciated, delegating them the entire cleaning of their cabin.

Travelling light is recommended: especially in summer, when you will almost exclusively be wearing swimwear, T-shirts, and shorts on the boat during the day. A sweatshirt and long pants for the evening may be sufficient in the height of summer, while something warmer is preferable in the cooler months, as well as a waterproof windbreaker in case of bad weather or when sailing. Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun, flip-flops/sandals for going ashore; if you want to wear shoes on board - especially useful when sailing - they must have white soles and be used only on the boat. It may also be useful to bring a small waterproof container for your wallet/cell phone to use when going ashore. For bed linen and towels, please refer to the “What's included” section.

As they are already on board, food and drinks from outside are not allowed, as well as wifi/Bluetooth speakers or other bulky objects although inflatable.

The use of a soft bag per head is required, so that it can be easily stored. Hard suitcases and trolleys are not allowed on board. A small backpack or beach bag can be useful for outings on land.

No, no previous experience is required to participate in this experience. It is part of the experience to be able to try your hand at the helm during navigation, with the support of the captain, also sharing theoretical notions on navigation in general and sailing.

Yes, to the extent that parents are concerned about the correct behavior of their children/young people, according to the indications that will be given by the captain. This is for security reasons, but not only.

In case you reserve the whole boat for yourself, the detailed itinerary can be agreed with the skipper. Otherwise, changes can be agreed upon as long as all the participants on board agree. In any case, the last word is up to the captain as he is responsible for civil and criminal safety, who will assess the existence of the technical and safety requirements, depending on the weather and sea conditions and the experience of the participants.

No, unfortunately pets are not allowed on board.

No, smoking is not permitted on board, either inside or outside the boat.

In the cabin there are both sockets with USB connection and 220v sockets, which can normally be used at any time.

It depends on the weather and sea conditions: if favorable, the night is spent at anchor in a roadstead, or, otherwise, moored in port.
