The four basics for a perfect trip

The most important basic rule when putting together a crew should be that the expectations of the trip are the same for the entire crew and that everyone knows what they can expect from the trip. The skipper must be able to show the necessary licenses for the trip and, if necessary, an experienced co-skipper is also required, as is required for a trip in Greece, for example.

Does the destination offer what the crew expects in terms of landscape and culture? Is the crew up to the sailing requirements of the sea area? Are certain certificates of good conduct required, such as a radio or advanced sailing license? In addition, there are areas that, due to their specifications, only reveal their full potential with certain types of ships. Our area compass offers a perfect tool for finding out which destination is the right one for the crew.

Whether it is a sailing yacht, catamaran, motor yacht or motor catamaran - this question is usually answered quickly. But the differences within the types of boats are also sometimes great. Comfort competes with performance. Differences in sails, technology and equipment often turn identical boats into two completely different yachts and can even require additional sailing licenses. The condition of the yacht also depends primarily on the quality of the local fleet operator.

Knowledge on Deck

Whether it's your first trip or you've already set sail a few times, there are a few things to consider on deck. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we're at your side from start to finish.

The check-in

Each charter is preceded by an official handover of the vessel by a base employee to the yacht charterer – the so-called check-in.
