Bareboat Sailing For the experienced sailor this is completely independent sailing in one of the world's most beautiful cruising areas. When you arrive you will find your yacht ready and waiting, with provisions on board, so that you can start your holiday straight away.
The companies with whom we arrange this type of charter will give you a full technical chart briefing before you disembark at your own pace to explore the islands at your leisure.

Holidays with a skipper For those with insufficient experience to handle a boat confidently, the option to hire your own friendly skipper is the key to the unmatched experience of discovering new islands by boat. In addition to allowing you and your guests to completely relax on board, this enables you to utilise your skipper's extensive local knowledge of every corner of every island.

If you choose to add a cook to the team you can have dinner on the table too without ever lifting a finger. Alternatively the skipper will direct you to the best restaurants in every port, the most sheltered anchorages depending upon the prevailing wind, the many local fiestas and, of course, the very best snorkelling and diving spots. If all of this luxurious leisure time is too much for you, your skipper will provide informal tuition to those wishing to learn, or aspiring to go it alone in the future.

Yacht Charter A nice sailing yacht with enough room for 5 or 6 people would cost upwards of 250.000 euros. Average running cost would be about 35.000 euros per annum, possibly rising to 50.000 per annum if much refitting was required or desired.

Depreciation in value wouldn be expected to be 10% of the boat's value. From these figures it would appear that the running costs would equate to the cost of chartering a yacht for a month each year - and depreciation would justify another month of charter. It would be a lucky man who could afford the time to spend two months a year at sea without interfering with his work schedule?
I have had the luxury of sailing with such a lucky man, but in only the six years that he has owned his own boat, based here, he has sailed over 90,000 miles, including four Atlantic crossings.
This is eqivalent to sailing around the world twice. Little wonder then he knows his way around a yacht, the churlish habits of the weather and almost any port that you care to name.
As he himself would say - there's no commercial sense in buying a yacht unless you plan to spend most of the rest of your life on the ocean wave...
