Add a skipper

Add a skipper to any of our bareboat yachts if you don’t have the experience to charter bareboat or if you would like a helping hand with a larger yacht or a guide to a new cruising area.

The skipper will be a competent sailor and perfectly capable of sailing the yacht. He will encourage you to get involved as crew, although he is not an instructor. You will have to allocate a cabin for the skipper's use and provide him with food and drink. Most clients invite the skipper to dine with them, but you may prefer to dine in private some or all of the time. For good service it is usual to offer a gratuity to the skipper at the end of the charter.

A skipper costs between £80 and £200 per day - see individual price tables for rates to add a skipper.
