For our weekly CABIN CHARTERS (Shared Yacht)
The cabin charter option is great for those who wish to share the yacht with other passengers, these cruises are friendly and warm, with always very good spirit on
board, as to choose this kind of cruise, more authentic and close to Greek culture and nature than cruise-ships, constitutes a "natural filter".
Moreover as our yachts are large and comfortable you can keep your privacy on-board and decide to enjoy romantic dinners on shore - just the two of you if you wish
;-)
Our yachts are 70 to 90 gross tonnage (useful volume), it has nothing to do with a 50 foot sailboat usually around 25 GRT.
Nothing to do also with a boat full of dozens of passengers with its noisy generator running all the time, or some "gulets" with low security and comfort
level...
Our schooners are not "luxury". Instead they offer simple comfort, well above that of a smaller sailboat but you're not on a cruise ship.
A trip close to a private yacht ("one table" yacht), but with the authenticity of our traditional wooden boats.
These are the 4 ways to make cruises aboard "small boats" (we offer only the option number 3):
-
Option 1. "Bare boat": all tasks are carried out by the guests.
-
Option 2. "With skipper": The skipper is responsible for the operation of the boat, guests take care of provisioning, cooking, dishes, final cleaning
etc...
-
Option 3. "With Skipper and hostess and sailor": You do not have to do the shopping, preparing meals or doing the dishes.
-
Option 4. Yacht with full crew and "hotel service": Additional crew members are dedicated to passenger's service and other clean the boat during all the week. A
yacht of this type has usually at least 5 crew members and the weekly price varies between 30,000 and 300,000 Euro for a group of 8 to 12 passengers. It is possible to find cheaper in Egypt
or Turkey.
-
We offer the option number 3, with a family atmosphere on board. This means that you put your feet under the table, that the skipper is responsible for
navigation, but no one is at the service of anyone, or everyone can be on the service to everyone when needed : team spirit. There are currently no cabin and hotel service and, in one week,
each one will probably have the opportunity to put a little "hand dough" on various aspects of life on board (even to launch a drink).
-
If one is used to cruise ships with a whole part of the crew for passenger's service and expects the same thing, better to choose then a cruise ship or hire a
yacht with at least 5 crew members. Our formula has advantages (small group, "as his own boat," access to small coves and fishing villages, authenticity), but everyone can have a small
participation and there is no "hotel service".
