Skippered
Yachts
Is
the whole point of planning a sailing vacation for you
and your friends/family to get involved...to be able to
sail the boat yourself (or learn how!) - where you're
not just a passenger to be sailed wherever at the captain's
whim, but to be part of an active, dynamic and FUN team
spirit ? Then you're on the right page here!
For Ye Olde
Salts...
Our skippered charters offer the chance for you to kick
back, and have a relaxing vacation too! The guys and gals
in our crew have all sailed in these waters for several
years and know all the local idiosyncrasies (and the idiosyncratic
locals!). We do get plenty of experienced sailors who
choose this option, knowing how much less of hassle it
is to have local knowledge on board! None of our skippers
have any "meglomania issues", we're very happy
to sit back, and hand over the helm to you whenever you
like! :) However, guess who gets to sit up all night doing
anchor watch if necessary? - and knows instantly where
else is better shelter, likely wind patterns, the best
local options in any given situation.
For our newbie
and/or wannabe sailors...
From "I'll
just take a turn at the helm occasionally".... to
"I want to be able to sail this ship all by myself
by the end of the week!" - we get the full range,
and often all within one group ! :) Any of the above are
fine; we love it when people are keen to learn, or improve
skills; if you're keener on sunbathing sometimes, that's
fine too!
Our SeaScape
skippers
Our SeaScape
Team is an international pot pourri of English, Australian
& American; all our skippers are one of the above.
On paper, we all have the requisite professional qualifications
from the RYA, ASA or AYF; even more importantly, we have
personal experience of sailing in these waters which ranges
from 5yrs to 15yrs. We're all a very easy-going bunch,
who enjoy becoming part of your group too.
One other very
important point to make - our skippers are not just skippers.
Sailing the boat is possibly the least of our skippers'
brief! They are there to ensure the total smooth running
of your vacation, from keeping the boats stocked with
food and drink that you like, to arranging trips ashore
- or taking you along to meet their own local friends
and really experience the behind-the-scenes culture! This
is where we are quite different to the more common bareboat-with-skipper
option, where the skipper's responsibility ends with getting
the boat to/from port.

In short, once
you are on the boat, everything is covered; just dinners
ashore and any personal expenditure on the land are up
to you!
NOTES:
On our "Adventure Sailing" program, your skipper
will keep the boat well stocked with food and drink; but
he/she is not responsible for preparing meals- everyone
pitches in together in the galley! If you wish to have
a first mate/cook on board to do this please see the "Fully
crewed don't-lift-a -finger" charter option.
