FAQ - Your questions answered

Bookings & Availability

Do you offer shorter trips, such as a day or weekend getaway?

Our itineraries are designed for a minimum duration of one week, as we sail to destinations where a shorter period would compromise the full experience of navigation and exploration. However, during the low season, we may have availability for shorter itineraries of a minimum of 3-4 nights. Additionally, we offer one-day charters for private events or professional photoshoots. Contact us to check availability and craft a bespoke experience.

Can I customize my itinerary after booking?

Yes! We do our best to accommodate your preferences, as long as weather and logistical conditions allow.

How far in advance should I book my sailing experience?

We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance, especially during peak season, to ensure the best availability.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Cancellations must be made in writing. The applicable penalties are as follows:

  • For cancellations made more than 30 days before departure, the deposit (50% of the total amount) will be retained.
  • For cancellations made less than 30 days before departure, 100% of the total amount is due as a penalty.

Onboard Experience

Daytime attire should be light and comfortable—swimsuits, hats, and sunglasses are a must. For evenings on the yacht or ashore, opt for elegant casual wear. We recommend non-slip shoes for safe movement onboard.

What is the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance)?

The APA is a prepaid fund used to cover variable expenses during your charter, such as fuel, port fees, food, and beverages. It ensures that your crew can handle all necessary provisions and logistics seamlessly throughout your journey. The estimated APA amount is provided before departure, and any unused funds will be refunded at the end of your trip. If the fund is depleted during your charter, additional contributions may be required.

Are meals and beverages included in the package?

Your APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) will be used as a dedicated fund to purchase everything needed for meals and beverages onboard. Before your departure, you will fill out our Preference List, where you can specify your culinary desires: cuisine styles, meal preferences (e.g., lunch onboard, dinner ashore), specific recipes or ingredients, preferred wineries and spirits, and any other details to personalize your onboard dining experience.

Rest assured, if you change your mind, you can adjust your choices day by day with your crew, ensuring your meals always match your desires.

Is entertainment available?

What does it feel like to live on a catamaran?
