Generally, no – beginners are as welcome as experienced sailors on the majority of the trips we list. To be sure, read the description of your trip thoroughly; if particular sailing ability is required, it will be specified there.

Each sailing operator has its own cancellation and refund rules. Please see our Deposit and Cancellation policy for further details.

After you return from your trip we will send you a ‘Feedback’ email that you can respond to and rate your experience. The more reviews and feedback the better in today’s sharing economy, where trust is practically a currency.

Generally yes, but we recommend checking with your current travel insurer. We can also direct you to appropriate insurers who will be able to provide the right cover. Contact us for our recommendations.
