Why Charter a Sailing Yacht

The monohull sailing yacht stands as a timeless and refined vessel that encapsulates the spirit of seafaring elegance. With a dual helm, spacious swim platforms, and unmatched manoeuvrability, monohulls offer a captivating experience that marries tradition with modern luxury.

One of the distinguishing features of monohull yachts is their dual helm configuration. This design not only enhances the sailing experience but also fosters a sense of adventure and involvement. With two steering stations, one located outside in the open air and another within the shelter of the yacht's interior, you can choose your vantage point as you navigate the azure waters. The dual helm design not only provides a dynamic feel but also encourages interaction among guests, making it an ideal choice for those who relish the thrill of sailing.

Monohull sailing yachts are also renowned for their spacious swim platforms. These platforms extend from the yacht's stern and serve as inviting launch points for water-based adventures. Whether you're diving into the crystal-clear seas, embarking on a snorkelling expedition, or simply savouring the sensation of a refreshing swim, the swim platform becomes your aquatic playground. It's a place to bask in the sun, socialise with fellow charter guests, and savor those memorable moments in the water.

Manoeuvring a monohull sailing yacht is a graceful ballet of wind, water, and skill. The monohull's slender hull and single keel provide exceptional manoeuvrability, allowing for precise control and agility on the waves. This nimbleness grants you the freedom to explore secluded coves, enter picturesque harbors, and embark on adventures that may be inaccessible to larger vessels. The ease of handling a monohull adds to the overall experience, making it a splendid choice for both seasoned sailors and those new to the art of sailing.

Monohull sailing yachts are vessels that offers not only a journey through the open seas but a voyage into the heart of elegance and adventure.

We are proud to offer a range of Sailing Yachts charter options tailored to your party's needs and sailing preferences:

Bareboat Charter: A bareboat charter entails taking control of the vessel and sailing it independently, akin to renting a car. This option requires prior sailing experience and typically necessitates a sailing certificate/license, as you'll be responsible for charting your course, managing the sails, navigating through changing weather conditions, anchoring, and docking. While it offers an exhilarating and empowering experience, it also demands a sense of responsibility.

Skippered Charter: For those intrigued by the notion of a bareboat charter but seeking assistance with sailing, hiring a skipper is a viable option. A skipper can navigate the boat on your behalf and offer valuable insights about the charter area. Simply select the desired bareboat and inform us of your preference for a skipper, and we'll make the necessary arrangements. This approach strikes a perfect balance between independence and support, allowing you to relax and enjoy your journey with less worry.
