For Active Yacht Holidays
What is a on- board chash desk?
At the beginning of the voyage, the on-board cash desk is set up for all running incidental expenses such as fuel, port fees and basic food on board. Each guest participates equally.

What is a daily itinerary for a catamaran sailing trip, sailing or motor yacht trip with a skipper?
On most sailing and motorboat cruises you will not depart until after breakfast, so you can start the morning with a wonderful jump into the crystal clear azure blue sea. A short walk to the village and shopping for provisions for the day. Most of the daily stages are planned in such a way that you will be anchored in a beautiful bay for a self-prepared lunch snack and you will also have enough time to enjoy the crystal clear water. On board you are part of a team and actively participate according to your abilities in the different tasks on board. On the way there will be enough time to relax and to help with the sailing. In the evening you can either anchor in bays or moor in one of the small picturesque town or nature harbours. The route can be freely arranged according to the guests’ wishes as long as the weather conditions allow it and the skipper considers it safe.
What kind of shoes do I wear on board?
In principle, every guest can wear the shoes in which it is comfortable, except shoes with heels are expressly not allowed. However, the shoes should have a white sole with no profile, otherwise they will leave dark stripes on the deck and with profile soles small stones will always be carried on board. Our recommendation is to be barefoot on the one hand and just bring two pairs of shoes with you. One to explore the land and the other to wear on board.
What is a cabin charter?
With a cabin charter you book only one or more cabins. You spend a week with other people with whom you share some common ground and joy: You love to travel and discover new things, have an affinity for classic sailing & motor yachts and simply enjoy being at sea and make new friends while enjoying the passion of yachting to the full. Travel individually but not alone. Cabin charters are usually offered on luxury cruises, but can also be booked on selected dates on catamaran sailing trips.

Who decides about the route?
With a private charter we can respond even more to the wishes of the group and try to reach all the destinations that are desired. With cabin charter there is usually a “fixed route” which is determined by the captain, of course we also try to respond to individual wishes as good as possible. It applies with each kind of the journey however: Safety first, it can occur thus that there can be plan changes because of weather situations, which the captain & Skipper decides alone.
What is a catamaran?
A catamaran is a ship with two hulls which are fixed together, so they offer a lot of space for living. Catamarans have a small draught, perfect for anchoring in turquoise waters. There is hardly any tilt when sailing.
Catamaran or sailing boat?
Who attaches more importance to sporty sailing, should rather rent a sailing yacht which has more heeling. Who prefers more space on deck and in the cabins and accepts a little weaker sailing characteristics, is better placed on a catamaran.
Activities outside the yacht?
A sailing cruise or catamaran sailing trip can be perfectly combined to explore the country, for example with rented bicycles or scooters. Go for hiking, kayaking, diving, windsurfing or simply to go shopping. Actually, almost everything is possible, activities can be optionally organized for one day or more days.
