Flotilla Charters
Flotillas are groups of sailboats exploring an area together. They follow the same itinerary and meet up to overnight in a bay or marina. They are a great way for larger groups to share a sailing adventure, with someone knowledgeable to lead the way. Whether there are too many people to fit on one boat, a lack or mix of experience, or a preference to have help navigating a tricky area, a professional skipper leading your flotilla will make your sailing vacation charter one to remember.
Usually, each boat is a bareboat charter, a skippered/crewed charter, or a shared boat, depending on preference and availability.
The cost for a Lead Flotilla Skipper depends on the size of the flotilla and the location.
Note: hired skippers require their own cabin and on-board meals to be provided.
The benefits of flotilla sailing include:
- Led by an experienced skipper
- Itinerary planning and daily briefiings
- Local knowledge and activities
- Organized preparation
- Comfort in numbers
- Nearby support
- Meet new people
- Fun, fun, fun!
