In many cases, yes — but it depends on the yacht owner’s policy and the charter base. Some boats allow pets, while others don’t, and additional conditions may apply (such as a pet fee, a higher security deposit, or specific rules on board). If you’d like to travel with a dog or cat, let us know in advance and we’ll help you find a pet-friendly yacht and clarify all requirements before booking.

If you have a licence and sufficient experience, a bareboat charter (without a skipper) is possible. For anyone who prefers a more relaxed trip or has little or no experience, a skippered charter is ideal. The skipper takes care of navigation and safety, often knows the best spots, and helps adapt the itinerary to the weather and your preferences. Optionally, depending on the destination and availability, you can also add a hostess or a cook.

A sailing holiday is one of the most authentic ways to experience the sea: wind instead of traffic, bays instead of hotel corridors — and a new view every morning. You’ll discover hidden anchorages, swim in crystal-clear coves, enjoy sunsets from the deck, and fall into a naturally slower rhythm. Whether as a couple, with friends, or as a family, sailing uniquely combines adventure, relaxation, and nature.

Yes — a sailing holiday is a great option for families, too. The boat can be adapted to crews with children. Many yachts can be fitted with safety nets and offer family-friendly cabin layouts. Routes can also be planned with short legs, frequent swim stops, and easy-to-reach marinas — ideal for children (and relaxed parents).

A week is the classic choice — especially for first-timers. Typically, check-in and yacht handover take place on Saturday, and you set off either that afternoon (depending on the base/organisation) or on Sunday morning. You usually return to the marina on Friday evening, with check-out on Saturday morning. In between, the destination and the weather set the pace: islands, coastal stretches, marinas and bays alternate — with sailing, swimming, shore time, excursions and plenty of “wow” moments. You usually sleep in double cabins; you either cook on board or stop at local tavernas/konobas/restaurants along the way.

That depends on the yacht’s size and cabin layout. Most charter yachts typically accommodate 6–12 guests. Comfort isn’t only about the number of berths — it also depends on the cabin arrangement, the number of bathrooms, storage space, and what your crew prefers.

Costs depend on the season, destination, and type of boat. As a rough guideline, prices are around €400–€600 per person per week in the low season and around €800–€1,200 per person per week in the high season. Depending on your booking, additional costs may apply, such as skipper, fuel, on-board cash/provisions (food and drinks), final cleaning, and possibly other mandatory local fees.

No. If you’re new to sailing, simply book a yacht with a skipper. That way, you can enjoy the experience in a relaxed way while feeling safely looked after at all times. And if you like, you can even learn as you go — from docking manoeuvres to trimming the sails.
