If you run out of food you may bring your own food and drinks on board any time at no additional charge. There are local shops and supermarkets at most shore stops to re-supply if needed.

You will be required to prepare your own food and clean up after yourself. Don’t worry – you are not alone on the yacht and everyone may choose to rotate duties. Keep in mind that the skipper is also a part of the crew. Don’t forget to prepare a meal for him/her as well!

NOTE: Those who are booking the full yacht have the option of booking a hostess who will cook and prepare the meals and clean after.

Since there is always a lot of work to be done around the boat to keep everything in order, every task must be properly delegated between the crew.

Primary duties of a hostess are taking care of the cleanliness and tidiness of the boat and preparing the meals for the crew.

She is responsible for :
Keeping the common boat areas nice and tidy (kitchen, salon, deck, cockpit)
Preparing light breakfast for the crew and the skipper
Preparing light lunch for the crew
Washing the dishes
Changing the toilet bin once daily or more if necessary
Taking out the trash

NOTE:
Hostess does not clean the toilets used by the guests but she will replace the toilet bin every day.
Hostess does not clean cabins as they are considered private guest rooms unless she is asked.

Our hostess are educated and well informed so they can help you regarding everything you want to know about your SailWeek.

Skipper sleeps in the boat salon and hostess stays in private accommodation during the night if all the boat cabins are taken.

Consider her and skipper as a part of your group. They will answer all your questions, give recommendations and explain things regarding the local traditions.

• It is a fundamental requirement that everyone using our services has a personal travel insurance policy. It is your responsibility to buy personal travel insurance.

Just book your spot(s) and they can join you when they are ready. If you and your friends book at separate times, we always do our best to make sure you are on the same yacht as long as we are notified at the time of booking.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. There are three different situations and this is How you’re gonna be sure that you’re on the same yacht with your friends

Check more on our blog: Are we on the same yacht?

1. If you book and pay together, you will be together on the same yacht by default.

There is no need to write or ask us to put you on the same boat. When you book, you’re going to get your number of reservation. People with the same reservation number are always on the same boat.

2. If you book and pay separately:

If you have more than one reservation number, just add a note (while booking online) with your friends names and/or Reservation number and ask us to be together with them and we will place you together.

Example – Your number of reservation is 100/2017. Your friends want to book two months later. While booking online they’ll just add a note that they want to be together with reservation number 100/2017.

Example:

3. If you and your friends have already made your booking and received Reservation numbers from us and you didn’t make earlier note to place you together.

In that case, please, let us know on time and we will make changes needed to place you together. Please send us an Email to info@sailweek.tours with your names and reservations numbers and we’ll take care that you’re on the same boat.

NOTE: We use sail yachts that accommodate 8 to 10 guests.

We recommend a group of 6-10 for a full yacht booking. There are some viable options for as few as 4 people if needed.

Full yachts book quickly, especially in the peak season. If you are travelling with a group, book early to ensure you have the best options!

Yes, you can.

When you rent a full yacht you are responsible for gathering the crew.

There is no minimum number of guests on full yacht options, only maximum regarding the boat capacity.

You can add and change names of the crew members until the very last moment.

First installment has to be paid 48h after the booking was initially made by head booker.

After you’ve done the payment you can split the cost among the fellow crew mates.

• First instalment (your deposit) required is 30% of total amount.
• Second instalment 30% is due 12 weeks before departure.
• Third (final) payment 40% of total amount is 30 days before departure.

We will send you friendly email reminders with payment links or bank transfer instructions for easy processing.

Imagine a difference between a 10-15 year old car and a new car. It’s the same when it comes to boats.

Standard are older and premium yachts are newer and nicer + you get some cool free stuff depending on a route.

For the detailed differences between the standard and premium yachts please check the route you are interested.

• Every SailWeek yacht in Croatia, Montenegro and Malta  is supplied with a WIFI device and has unlimited data for a week so you can freely enjoy your holiday by sharing photos and videos on Social media by tagging SailWeek.

  Unfortunately in Greece there is not an option to have a WiFI on the boat.

  Cafes and restaurants in all SailWeek destinations have free internet access for customers and are easily accessible any time we are not sailing.

A/C is not available in spot/cabin bookings.

Only a few of the biggest and newest mono hulls and some of the catamarans will have A/C available in full yacht bookings.

Air conditioning on a boat is not of the same standard you may be used to on land! A/C on board is designed to be used when docked in the marina whilst sleeping and is sometimes not available in every cabin. The cooling ability is not as powerful as A/C found on land and when used continuously during the day the chance of malfunction increases.

Most of the yachts have 4-5 cabins, which hold 8-10 guests plus the skipper. You will not know who is on your yacht until we do final allocations closer to the departure date. You’ll meet your crew when you come on the boat. We do our best to achieve a well balanced mix of like minded people.

We do not enforce a ratio for our guests. Male/female ratio depends on a guests who booked that week. Most of the weeks it’s s equal, but sometimes can be in favor of females/males.

When it comes to allocating guests on the yachts we always try to make a prefect crew list based on gender, age and mixed nationalities. Crew lists depend on the guests who booked that week. Most of the weeks we have equal gender ratio but sometimes that is not the case. Also the layout of the boats sometimes doesn’t allow us to allocate people the way we want.

For solo travellers and odd groups of friends, we will do our best and try to put you in the bunk bed where you’ll share a cabin with the person same gender. Sometimes the gender ratio is not equal so there is a possibility that you can be grouped with someone of the opposite gender sharing a bunk or a double bed cabin.

Most yachts have an input jack in their stereo system so you can connect your smartphone/music device to the boat system. SailWeek will provide a cable that allows you to connect your smartphone/tablet/portable music player.

Each yacht has an indoor and outdoor common area (saloon). They are compact but comfortable, although they are not especially spacious inside. There is a full kitchen and dining area on each yacht, as well as refrigeration, electricity, speakers, and other amenities.

The cabin rooms are shared. Most yacht cabins have a double bed which will hold two people. Others have bunk beds. The cabins have small cupboards and closets for clothes. There are bathrooms and showers on all yachts.

Please keep in mind that sailing yachts are not luxury hotels. If you have ever traveled in an RV, it is a similar experience…just on the water!

Most small electrical requirements require 240 volt power. The boat will only have 240 volt power when it is docked in the marina, which will likely only be 3-4 nights of the week.

Phones, tablet computers, GoPros, and other similar items can be charged any time via a 12 volt to USB converter on the boat. SailWeek will provide a USB converter for the boat.

There is limited storage space on the yachts, so we recommend bringing your luggage in a soft sided bag. If you are staying in SailWeek destinations for a while and carrying a large suitcase, we advise bringing a soft bag to take what you need for the week on the yachts and put the larger suitcase in the storage we provide for 100 KN per week/ per bag

We sail for between 2-4 hours every day. The islands are relatively close together and you will never be sailing in the open sea out of sight of land.

When we are not sailing, what you do is up to you! You can stay on the yacht or explore the islands. All of the yachts will travel together, which gives plenty of opportunities for combined social activities and regattas.

Safety is our number one priority. Our team consists of experienced skippers. As long as you listen to your skipper, you will be in good hands!

Sea sickness is something that can be managed. Skippers carry nausea/seasick prevention tablets. If you are feeling unwell, let the skipper know and he/she will look after you.

Please note that avoiding acidic foods and drinks and not missing sleep can help prevent seasickness. If you know that you are prone to seasickness, you can prepare for your trip by checking out this website.

Yes, of course. Every yacht comes equipped with life jackets and dinghies. The skippers are more than happy to take you to and from the beach on the dinghy whenever you are anchored off shore.

All of our crew are fluent in English. They are excellent hosts and will go out of their way to make sure you have an incredible trip!
