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 ports (12V). When at anchor, the boat will not be connected to mains electricity. We therefore recommend that you bring portable batteries with you.

Each of our boating hosts is carefully selected by our partner's team and is committed to giving you a warm welcome aboard their vessel. They are true ambassadors of their sailing area and will help you plan your stay to perfectly match your interests and desires.
