Skippered Yacht Charter.

If you are not an experienced sailor but are keen to have a yachting holiday then a skippered yacht charter is a very good option.

Even experienced sailors often take a professional skipper as it relieves them of the full responsibility of running the boat and provides valuable local knowledge of where to go, what to see and local conditions.

Naturally the cost of the Skippered Charter will be more than a Bareboat Yacht Charter and an additional berth will have to be catered for. A skippered charter can also include a Mate/Hostess, if there is room on the boat, thus making the charterers even more pampered.

However all skippers recommended by charter companies must be fully qualified. They are used to looking after their clients, fitting in with the family and passing on their knowledge and their enthusiasm for their chosen occupation.

Many Skippers are also qualified Yachtmaster Instructors and are therefore in a position to help the charterers with their own Yachting Qualifications and give Sailing Lessons.
