Overview

Novices or experts alike

The yacht you charter is crewed with a minimum of a skipper and mate, thus enabling a complement of complete novices to take full part in the racing. More typically, crews have a mixed range of experience and we are used to accommodating all skill levels. No experience… no problem!

One day or several

Many of our clients take part in a single day’s racing whilst others will book consecutive days and then host their own clients racing with a different crew of guests each day.

Race prepared boats

We have a range of top class race prepared boats available and will find the best fit for your crew, objectives and budget. Whether you’re just looking to take part or are after a racing machine for a podium position, we take care of all the details. The precise sail wardrobe and use of spinnakers will be at the skipper’s discretion according to conditions and crew experience.

The social side

If staying overnight to soak up the social side, let us find accommodation and book the best social events. Inevitably many venues are ticket only and this is where our expert local knowledge comes in.
