Day 4
Note
The sailboat's movements from one port to another by your host are subject to weather conditions.
Only the boat owner can decide if he is able to move the boat to the next port.
If this is not the case, the program is then reviewed and your boater will be able to recommend other alternatives.
An overnight stay on board remains guaranteed.
Accommodation
The majority of boats are 10 to 12 meters long in order to be able to enter most ports.
Most of them consist of two double cabins (for two people) and a saloon, the central social space on the boat. They are also equipped with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a toilet.
Note that each boat is unique; equipment and layout may vary depending on the model and brand of each sailboat.
Most boats are equipped with USB sockets on board (12V).
When at anchor, the boat will not be connected to electricity. We therefore recommend that you bring portable batteries with you.
Each of our boating hosts is selected by our partner's team and is committed to giving you a proper welcome aboard their boat. They are true ambassadors of their sailing area and will help you plan your stay to suit your exploration desires.
