The skipper - and any crew members, if applicable - sleep in one of the boat's cabins.

Double cabins are usually assigned to those traveling as a couple, those who book individually share a cabin with another traveler of the same gender or must reserve a cabin for exclusive use.

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

The provisions will be purchased jointly by the skipper and the participants.

Meal preparation is a shared activity among all participants in the experience, unless the optional “Hostess/Cook on board” service is available and has been chosen.

All participants are responsible for cleaning the common areas on board.

It is advisable to travel light: especially in summer, bathing suits, T-shirts and shorts are almost exclusively used on the boat during the day. A sweatshirt and long pants for the evening may be enough in the middle of summer, something heavier instead in addition to a waterproof windbreaker during night sailing Sunglasses, hat and sunscreen (no tanning fluid) to protect yourself from the sun, slippers / flip-flops to go ashore; If you want to wear shoes on board - especially useful in sailing maneuvers - they must have a white sole and be used only for the boat. It can also be useful to have a small watertight container for your wallet/mobile phone with you, to use when you go ashore. For bed linen and towels, please refer to the "What's included" section.

Hair dryers, hair straighteners, and other appliances that operate on 220V (household voltage) can only be used during stops in ports, when a power outlet is available for connection to the electrical grid.

A soft bag is required for transporting luggage, so that it can be easily stowed away. Hard suitcases and trolleys should be avoided, as they are difficult, if not impossible, to stow. A small backpack or beach bag may be useful for shore excursions.

No, no previous experience is required to participate in this experience.

Absolutely! This experience is ideal for groups with children/teenagers.

The boat is equipped with both 12V sockets (with USB and/or cigarette lighter connectors) that can normally be used at any time, and 220V sockets that can only be used when docked in ports, once connected to the charging stations on the quay.

We will spend the night moored in a bay or in port, where we will be able to refill our water and/or provisions, as well as enjoy a pleasant evening ashore.
