The many years of chartering these waters gives your crew the inside knowledge of what to see and where to go. You can be assured that at all times your privacy will be of utmost concern and the crew know when to be there and when not to.

Do I have to know how to sail?
One of the benefits of a crewed charter is that the skipper is there to do all of the work!! Of course you are more than willing to sail if you are experienced or try for the first time under the skippers tutelage. As a prerequisite you do not need to be able to sail - you can sit back and relax or get involved as much as you would like.

Will there be anyone else aboard the yacht?
No it will be your own private yacht. The only other people aboard will be the skipper and cook who at all times will respect your privacy.

Can I change the itinerary?
Absolutely - if you like an island and want to stay longer or would like to visit specific locations you are the boss. There are time and sailing limitations that the skipper will advise you of when changing the itinerary - not all changes are possible because of these. Your crew will also ne able to offer there advice and make recommendations based on you preferences as they have many years experience in the Grenadines.

Are children welcome?
Children are always welcome. Your charter yacht however does not provide flotation devices for children so it would be wise to bring water wings, inflatable vests etc. with you on your trip.

What should I pack?
Make sure you bring lots of sunscreen - and not many clothes - you will most likely live in your swimsuits. A few casual outfits (shorts/t-shirt) would be appropriate for dinging out. The Grenadines are very casual and have no strict dress codes.
