Step four

Recruit the crew

A yacht week is a team sport. Share one link, fill the cabins, split the cost — and let the countdown begin.

A yacht is only as good as the crew aboard. Round up your people, split the cost by cabin, and let everyone chip in on the route. One link is all it takes to get the group chat buzzing.

No surprises

No surprises. Just the sea.

The price you see is per person, per week for the yacht. A handful of shared extras get settled on the ground — here's exactly what to budget, in honest ranges rather than fine print.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

The things crews ask us most, before they cast off.

What's included when I book?

Your yacht for seven nights, a professional skipper on most yachts, standard equipment and safety gear, bedding and towels, a dinghy with outboard, and a full welcome brief with route guidance. Food, drinks and a few shared running costs are settled separately — see the extras above.

What extra costs should I budget for?

Plan for a cash kitty of roughly €150–€300 per person that covers mooring, fuel and water, a refundable yacht deposit of €1,500–€8,000 per boat held against damage, plus smaller shared costs like ice (€165–€330) and water taxis (€40–€90). Everything is settled as a crew, per boat.

Is there a minimum age?

Yes — every guest on board must be at least 20 years old on the day of check-in. There's no upper limit; plenty of our crews span several generations.

What documents do I need to bring?

A valid passport or national ID for every guest. If you're chartering bareboat you'll also need a recognised sailing licence and short CV for the named skipper. Book with a professional skipper and no sailing qualification is required from anyone in your crew.

When is check-in?

Check-in is from 4pm on the Saturday your week begins. Arrive rested — you'll meet your skipper, stow your bags, run through the safety brief and can spend the first night in the marina before setting off the next morning.

When is check-out?

You'll return to the base marina on the final Friday evening and check out by 8am the following Saturday, so the yacht is ready for the next crew. Late flights? We'll happily point you to somewhere to store bags and grab breakfast.

Life-changing

The hardest part is coming home.

Booking took ten minutes and the deposit felt like nothing. The hardest part really was coming home.
