Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need for a yacht charter?+

You'll need a valid passport (for non-EU nationals) and your booking confirmation. No boating licence is required — your professional captain handles all navigation. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

What is a preference sheet?+

A preference sheet is a form you fill in before your charter detailing food preferences, allergies, dietary requirements, favourite drinks, special occasions, and any specific requests. Your chef and crew use this to personalise your experience.

How early should I arrive at the marina?+

We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your scheduled departure for the crew welcome, safety briefing, and to settle in before casting off.
