A host on board does far more than just maintain cleanliness and prepare meals. They ensure that your sailing experience is smooth, enjoyable, and worry-free. With their help, you can fully relax and focus on the adventure.
Responsibilities of the Host:
Tidy Shared Spaces: Keeping shared spaces such as the kitchen, salon, deck, and cockpit tidy and inviting, allowing you to enjoy every corner of the boat without hassle.
Meal Preparation: Preparing fresh and filling breakfasts and lunches daily for your crew, saving you the effort of meal planning or cooking.
Meal Cleanup: Leave the cleanup to the host, who will handle all cleanup and dishwashing duties after meals.
Waste Management: Removal of trash and changing of the toilet bin daily, ensuring all facilities stay fresh and clean.
Restocking Refreshments: The host will ensure the fridges are regularly restocked with your provided drinks, keeping refreshments easily accessible throughout your trip.
Assisting the Skipper: The host will assist the skipper with daily duties, such as sailing and docking, to ensure the smooth operation of the boat.
Your Onboard Guide: Our hosts are knowledgeable about everything Sailweek. They can offer advice on destinations, provide insights into the local culture, recommend the best experiences and assist with all reservations. Think of them as both a host and a local guide.
Integration with Your Crew: Your host and skipper will quickly feel like a natural part of your group. They are friendly, approachable, and happy to share their expertise and recommendations to enhance your trip.
Things to Note:
The host does not clean guest cabins or tidy your personal belongings as these are respected as private.
The host does not clean toilets, however, will wipe down bathroom benches and ensure toilet paper is always stocked. Should you require further assistance, just ask, your host is there to help make your experience as enjoyable as possible.
Accommodation for the host and skipper:
Your yacht’s layout includes sleeping space for the skipper and any included or selected host. On a Full Yacht monohull, adding a host uses a guest cabin and reduces the space available for your group. On a catamaran, the host uses a staff cabin. Check your chosen yacht’s guest capacity and crew accommodation before booking.
