If all cabins are occupied by guests, the skipper - and any crew members, if applicable - sleep in the dinette.

People who board individually share a cabin with a person of the same sex. Early bookers... better stays! For families or groups with a predefined number, cabins that are numerically functional (triple, quadruple) will be assigned, obviously based on availability. Therefore, especially for this type of booking, it is advisable to make a good advance order in order to guarantee the most suitable accommodation. In general terms, for individual bookings, the assignment of cabins will take place at boarding. In case of specific needs, it is still possible to make requests in advance, which will then be evaluated (e.g. preferences for castle vs double, physical needs, etc.) and which are usually satisfied, availability permitting.

Yes, it is possible to reserve a cabin for single use. To receive a customized offer for booking a cabin for single use, contact the organizer via the platform's messaging system.

Sometimes the skipper manages the shopping, making sure it is already on board when the guests arrive. In other cases, however, the shopping is done directly by the guests or by some of them, with the supervision and advice of the skipper or guide, in terms of quantities and types of food suitable for consumption on the boat. This detail will be specified directly in the pre-departure call organized by the WWF guide.

The atmosphere that reigns on the boat is serene and informal and all people will be involved in the activities on board (such as cooking, keeping the boat tidy,..), in order to preserve the spirit of sharing that characterizes this type of holiday. These activities, which are boring at home, will instead be experienced as pleasant moments of conviviality.

In general, it is good to think that, as far as summer holidays are concerned, you need very few items on a boat: swimsuits, summer clothes, a couple of outfits to go ashore, a few warmer items for the evening and windy days, a light windproof jacket, flip-flops and shoes to go down to port (on the boat you are practically always barefoot). For cruises in periods other than summer, it is good to bring warm clothes, a windproof oilskin, shoes with light soles to keep on during navigation, a hat and neck warmer for those who are more sensitive to the cold. Not to forget: mobile phone charge from the car or USB, fins and mask, sunscreen 50+, shampoo and "marine" shower gel (you can also find it online), intimate wipes. Essential to bring on board: enthusiasm and desire to have fun! IT IS NECESSARY TO BRING SHEETS AND TOWELS: it is advisable to bring a sheet to cover the mattress, one to cover yourself and the pillowcase, or a sheet bag.

It is not allowed to bring equipment such as fishing rods on board. If you wish to bring other types of sports or entertainment equipment, please consult the skipper before departure to check suitability.

It is essential to leave with a soft bag or backpack, it is not allowed to bring rigid trolleys on board. This is because once the personal belongings have been placed in the appropriate compartments, the bag will be folded and also stored, so as not to take up space.

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

Absolutely yes! This experience is ideal for families with children and teenagers. Children pay the same as adults, especially in high season. However, please contact the experience organiser to check the conditions for the specific holiday you are interested in. Up to 3 years of age, children can sleep in the cabin with their parents, but it depends a lot on the specific boat and also on the adaptability of the family. The WWF fleet includes boats with both triple and quadruple cabins to accommodate families of any size.
