How to Book

A bareboating holiday is a truly unique experience and offers you freedom to create you own adventure – however it can be hard to know where to start.  Don’t despair, we are here to help!  From choosing the perfect boat for yourself and your crew, the experiences available to enjoy and how to lock in you favourite vessel to charter: our reservations team are standing by to guide you through these important choices, and create a recommendation list to best suit your needs!

Step 1

DECIDE WHICH TYPE OF BOAT TO CHARTER

No licenses are required to charter our boats – just some basic boat handling experience or a willingness to learn.

If you’ve never sailed before or want to get around quicker, a power boat would be suggested.

If you’re a keen sailor, the monohulls should feed your yachting desires

If you want a spacious boat that gives you the best of both worlds, one of our sailing catamarans would be best for you.

  • If you want warm, balmy days and nights September to March will deliver.
