Are you dreaming about sailing and have no licence or sailing skills or you just need a guide? Thinking about discovering Caribbeann coastline, swimming in the salty and crystal clean sea and having a relaxed atmosphere...?
A skippered yacht in Caribbean is the best choice for your holiday. Primarily, skipper on board means security and no stress, in other words, circumstances in which the client can enjoy his time on the boat without having to worry about any problems.
If you do not want to think about how and where to tie up your boat, especially during the summer season and given the crowds on the coast, not to care about how to anchor, where and how to find safe anchorage overnight and not to follow daily weather forecasts then skipper on board is a must. Besides boat safety, he will also make restaurant reservations, recommend the best local delicacies and which local specialties to taste. Of course, there are also many local stories related to the various places which cannot be found in any of the tourist guides. Finally, having a skipper on board also means having a tourist guide.
WHO SHOULD CHOOSE SKIPPERED YACHT CHARTER
Skipper service is intended for people who do not have enough experience or specific permission which would allow them to spend quality time on the desired vessel. On the other hand, this service is also intended for those who have experience and have a license for boat navigation, but due to certain reasons such as comfort, they want to have a professional skipper on board.
SKIPPER ON BOARD
Our skippers are professional, experienced with skippering boats in Caribbean. Some of them have long experience, starting as kids in sailing clubs and choosing skipper job as a life profession. Skippers responsibility is to do check in/out of the technical part of the boat, advise the crew about route, moorings and weather conditions. Sometimes the skipper can not provide the route that you imagined because of the weather conditions but in favour of your and the boat's safety. We will make every effort to ensure matching the right skipper with the right group.
CHOOSING SAILING ROUTE WHILE ON SKIPPERED YACHT CHARTER
You are welcome to have your own idea about the route and discuss it with the skipper. If kids are on board, the skipper will adjust the route and maybe make the route shorter if needed.
SKIPPERS FEE
Skipper fee is €200 - €400 per day (depending on the ft range) and it is custom that the skipper has meals with the crew. Payment of skipper will be done during your check-in directly to skipper.
SKIPPERED YACHT CHARTER BENEFITS

Safety deposit: All boats are insured and even with skipper on a board safety deposit must be left in case that damage is done because of the crew fault (for example broken window).
Refundable deposit: Charged by credit card (preferred) or in cash. After returning the boat and technical check out with skipper, deposit amount will be unblocked (returned to the client).
