Frequently Asked Questions
Planning your yacht cruise? Helpful info before you book.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekend or holiday dates. Popular time slots can fill quickly during summer and peak season.
Is there a minimum age requirement to charter the yacht?
Yes. The primary renter (charterer) must be at least 21 years old and present at the time of boarding to sign the charter agreement.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Absolutely. Light snacks, sandwiches, and cold platters are welcome. We provide basic serving items like cups and plates. Just avoid full catered meals that need onboard preparation.
Do I need boating experience or a license to rent?
No license is required. A licensed captain and crew will operate the boat for you, and their services are paid directly at the dock.
What happens if the weather is bad?
In the case of unsafe weather, we’ll work with you to reschedule. Safety always comes first, and your captain will make the final call on whether the trip can go ahead.
How do we handle payment for the crew and fuel?
The base cruise fee is paid at the time of booking. Additional required fees for the captain, deckhand, and fuel are paid directly at the dock prior to departure.
What if I get seasick easily?
Our yacht is equipped with a Seakeeper stabilisation system that minimises rocking. Most guests find the ride smooth and comfortable, even if they’re usually sensitive to motion.
