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.

We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express as well as direct bank transfer.

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

Ideally not. Space on boats is always limited and you don’t want to end up sharing you bunk with your suitcase! Soft luggage such as duffel bags and rucksacks are your best bet.
