Skippered Yacht Charter
Take the stress and responsibility out of sailing with an RYA endorsed yacht skipper onboard.
Sailors will benefit from their skipper’s knowledge of sailing and of the surrounding area, finding places to visit that otherwise would have been inaccessible.
You’ll need to spare a cabin for your skipper, and provide food, although a knowledgable and fun skipper can add a lot to your sail.
