FAQs
What's on the boat vs what I bring?
On board: yacht, skipper/coach, lifejackets and safety kit, galley kit, water/tea/coffee. You bring: personal kit, layers, sleeping bag (if overnight) plus food and snacks.
What if the weather is bad?
We still run something — theory, manoeuvres in the lee of land, sheltered routes. Seriously weather-affected weekends rerun at a discount where reasonable.
I'm sea-sick prone — can I still come?
Yes. Take your remedy 30 mins before the start, not after. Tell your skipper in the safety brief.
I don't have a partner — can I still book?
Yes. We pair crew via the WhatsApp before each event. You won't be the odd one out.
Can I arrive the night before?
Usually possible, subject to availability. Arrange with the skipper in the crew WhatsApp.
How do I cancel or change my booking?
Contact us early — refunds and changes are handled case-by-case under our T&Cs. Earlier is always better.
