Charters

Half day, full day, sunset or overnight — pick the shape of the day and we do the rest.

    Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure. Nothing is charged until the weather call is made.

    02 / HOW IT WORKS

    Four steps, one of them yours

    From enquiry to leaving the dock. Nothing is charged until we confirm the weather.

    Step 01

    Pick a date and a boat

    Use the availability bar or call the office. Holding a slot takes about ninety seconds and costs nothing.

    Step 02

    Tell us who is coming

    Numbers, ages, anyone who cannot swim, anything you would rather eat. We match a skipper to the group.

    Step 03

    We make the weather call

    Twenty-four hours out we confirm, move you, or cancel. If we cancel, you are not charged.

    Step 04

    Arrive and step aboard

    Dock C, fifteen minutes early. Safety brief, lines off, harbour wall behind you inside ten minutes.

    What our customers say

    Dana R.

    Booked the sunset sail for our anniversary and expected a polished tourist thing. It was not that at all. Ines cut the engine past the wall and we sat in near silence for two hours.

    Four of us, none had sailed before. By the afternoon my brother was steering and I was on the winch and nobody had shouted. Everything explained twice without it feeling like a lesson.

    Priya S.

    They moved our overnight by a day because of a front coming through, called us themselves, and did not charge for the change. The bay they took us to instead had three boats in it.

    Overnight · Northerly

    Marcus F.

    The skipper spotted a pod of dolphins on the way back and just quietly changed course. My daughter has not stopped talking about it since.

    Yuki T.

    Booked at three days’ notice for eight people and it was still faultless. The cooler was packed before we got to the gate and nobody had to think about lunch.

    Full day · Bellwether

    Ana F.

    I get seasick and said so. They put us on the flat-water route, kept the sail plan gentle and checked in twice. First time I have enjoyed a whole day on a boat.

    04 / QUESTIONS

    Asked before every booking

    Do I need any sailing experience?

    None at all. Every charter is crewed, so the skipper handles the boat from the moment you step aboard. If you want to steer or trim, say so at the safety brief and you will be doing both within the hour.

    What happens if the weather turns?

    We make the call twenty-four hours before departure. You will either be confirmed, offered another date, or cancelled outright. Cancelled sailings are not charged and any deposit is released the same day.

    Can I bring food and drink aboard?

    Yes, and there is a cold locker for it. Glass is fine everywhere except the foredeck. Full-day and overnight charters already include provisioning, so tell us about allergies when you book.

    Are children welcome?

    From age four upwards. We carry child lifejackets in four sizes and harness points in the cockpit. Let us know ages when booking so the right kit is aboard before you arrive.

    How far in advance should I book?

    Two to three weeks between June and September, a few days outside that. Sunset sails on Fridays and Saturdays fill first, usually a month out.

    Where exactly do we meet?

    Dock C at Springfield Harbour, at the gate beside the fuel berth. Parking is free for charter guests. Arrive fifteen minutes before your slot so the brief does not eat your sailing time.
