Skippered Charter - Relax and enjoy a fantastic sailing experience under the expert care of a qualified skipper (and hostess if required). This is your holiday and we will tailor it to your very needs. Cruise along the beautiful Portuguese coast line and visit the marinas that you have before only read about. Visit the places the books don't even mention. Lounge around or swim off the stern of the yacht during the day and enjoy a BBQ on the beach at night, waiting for the stars to appear.

Mileage Building - Opportunities are plentiful to get extra miles under your belt. Whether you are working towards a qualification or just want to gain extra miles and experience and put the skills you have already achieved into practice we can arrange a sailing experience or holiday that gives you exactly what you want.

Corporate Sailing - Blend adrenaline with luxury! Why not treat those that have helped you in business? This is a fantastic way to reward both special customers and your own staff who have surpassed your expectations. They can enjoy an experience that is different and one that they will talk about for a long time afterwards. Alternatively why not use sailing as a team building experience? Your staff dynamics will be strengthened whilst they enjoy themselves!

Family Breaks - Why keep all the fun for yourselves? We are happy to help you make it an excellent holiday break for you all. Days can be spent sailing or moored and enjoying a swim or a fantastic treasure hunt at sea. Child specific safety equipment will be provided.

Specials - please contact us if you have any special requirements such as long charter, weekend breaks or special occasions. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. We are also able to offer own boat tuition or delivery of your yacht to where ever you choose - the options are endless.
