FORGOT YOUR DETAILS?

Real stress-free sailing experience

The right crew makes all the difference!

Up to 24m

Most commonly in average yacht length rentals (up to 24m), you will be requested (when not crewed charter) if you wish to have the service of a skipper, a hostess or a deckhand/sailor. Depending on the country you charter, up to these meters a crew can be necessary or not depending on national law. In yachting business, these terms are analyzed as follows.

SKIPPER (boating)

Why not enjoy this G&T stress-free?
Let the skipper take all the worries!

Skipper (boating), is the person who has command of a vessel. He/she will be responsible for you and the vessels safety throughout the whole journey. A skipper is obligatory if you do not possess a skippering license yourself or optional when you wish to share the load of the work/responsibility during your sailing vacation. Skipper's food needs to be available onboard during the day and his/her dinners out would also be arranged by the guests. Often guests invite the skipper to enjoy dinner with them or if privacy is needed offer an extra tip of about 20$ per night so the skipper can eat out as well.

HOST/-ESS

Remember all those times everyone moans about cleaning up the dishes or having to go for provisioning?

The host/-ess is the person who will arrange daily for your provisioning, breakfast and lunch preparations. He/she will also keep common areas tidy and help the skipper with mooring. The host/-ess in most cases is optional and people choose this service when they wish to completely relax and not care about provisions, cooking and cleaning up the kitchen and common areas. Hostesses should not be expected to do your beds or clean your cabins. Also asking a host/-ess to cook dinner for you instead of lunch is not a choice. Hostesses dinners out are provided exactly as skippers.

SAILOR (Deckman/ Deck woman).

In yachts over 60ft usually, a third person crew will be onboard the deck man/ deck woman. This person takes care of the deck, cleans, organizes the dinghy, the sails, assists the skipper, helps with moorings and works under the skipper’s guidance. Usually, in fully crewed yachts, the crew is not having dinners out with guests unless invited and the dinner costs are on their own expense. A tip at the end of the trip is customary but not obligatory.
