What's New

We have an informal group of about twenty individual charterers. They form themselves into groups of four, five and six, and charter one of our yachts usually during the low and mid season. They are from varying backgrounds and have a wide range of abilities.

This group are keen on improving their navigational seamanship and boat handling skills or some just want sea miles and go for the fun of it. They reckon to pay around £60 per person per day plus marine fees and food.
