Many people feel that because they're either an experienced sailor or have recently completed a course that they should charter a bareboat or join in a flotilla.

For some people wanting to go it alone this is the perfect answer. There are, however, several reasons why a crewed yacht charter can actually provide the sailing solution you're looking for.

In many cases, there are one or two sailors in the group. Maybe there are children, or spouses who don't sail themselves but want to enjoy a sailing vacation in the Caribbean.

Chartering a crewed yacht will keep everyone happy. Whilst the sailor gets to test their skills under the guidance of an experienced and friendly skipper, the rest of the group can sit back and enjoy the ride. This gives the sailor the chance to experience sailing a large yacht or catamaran without the stress of navigating or worrying about the safety of their group.

And then when you come to anchor your chef will prepare gourmet meals to suit your preferences and your captain will rustle up delicious cocktails that will have you coming back for more.

All without you having to worry about provisioning....or washing up!

Many of the charter captains are also licensed instructors and will be happy to help you brush up on your skills.
