Sailing yacht charter
Quiet, nimble and endlessly satisfying: a sailing yacht is the purest way to explore the coast, bareboat or with a skipper.
Is a sailing yacht right for you?
Monohulls from 36 to 51 feet sleep four to ten in two to five cabins. They sail beautifully upwind, heel a little in a breeze and reward a crew that likes to trim sails. Families often choose a skipper for the first charter; experienced sailors take her bareboat.
What to expect on board
- Cabins 2–5 double cabins, 1–3 heads with showers
- Equipment Furling main and genoa, autopilot, chartplotter, bimini
- Who it suits Couples, families and friends who want to actually sail

Good to know
Do I need a sailing licence?
Only for a bareboat charter. The skipper needs an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent national licence, and someone aboard needs a VHF/SRC radio certificate. Prefer not to sail yourself? Book a skippered or crewed yacht and no licence is needed.
What is included in the price?
The weekly charter fee covers the yacht, its standard equipment, insurance of the hull and the mandatory extras we list on every yacht page — typically final cleaning and bed linen. The transit log, fuel, marina fees outside the base, food and drinks and any optional extras (skipper, paddle-board, outboard) are extra and shown before you pay.
When do charters start and end?
Most weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: you board on Saturday afternoon and hand the yacht back on the next Saturday morning. Each yacht page gives its exact check-in and check-out times.
