Our skippers are the ones on the water.
They have sailed our journeys numerous times and know the towns, bays, people and coastlines intimately.
So, who better to guide you through the trip and help you plan your week?
If your party is booking the entire yacht then we can offer a huge degree of flexibility in many regards. If you have something, some place, someone that grabs you and is a must see then your skipper can talk you through the possibility of incorporating that into the week.
Likewise, if you have visited the area before and want to break new ground then we can talk you through alternative stopovers.
The skippers can also answer other questions you might have surrounding the living accommodation aboard, how the weather and wind usually are at certain times of the year, how fit and healthy you might need to be to come on the trips, or how your week with us can lead on to recognised sailing certifications.

Profile
Meet James, our Lead Skipper and Founder.
From:
The sleepy, land-locked commuter town of Sevenoaks in Kent; just south of London.
Sailing Experience:
Well it all started in Melbourne where I got into sailing as a product of not having a job! Thankfully the job hunting took off as well as the sailing and after a two year period yacht racing all around Australia I came back to the UK and did my Yachtmaster in the Solent. Then I headed back to sunnier climbs and lead groups around the Greek Islands and taught Competent Crew, Day Skipper and ICC courses.
Sailing Qualifications:
Commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmaster Offshore
RYA Shorebased Yachtmaster Theory and Navigation Instructor.
RYA Cruising Instructor.
Fist-aider.
Favourite Food:
The buffalo mozzarella from the market stalls on Procida is pretty hard to beat.
What did you do before sailing working in sailing?
Studying Economics and Politics in Manchester, now mainly put to use debating with a beer in-hand.
Book last read?
Who moved my cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson - An Amazon bestseller that I’d never heard for. All about embracing the positive uncertainty of change in life. Would recommend.
Most recent travel:
Christmas in South Africa and a snowy weekend in Prague.
