HOW WE WORK

GOT A QUESTION?
Just ask . . .
ASK A QUESTION

What do I need to wear?

Each trip listing has a suggested kit list. This is a good starting point, but you are welcome to bring additional kit.

What about currency fluctuations?

Trips are priced in the operator’s local currency and we charge you a conversion to that amount correct at the day of charging. See Payments for more details.

How do I leave a review?

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.

Do I need to have any sailing experience?

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.
