Questions

The things every guest asks before a first sail, answered in plain language.

01 / EVERYTHING YOU ASKED

Answers before you have to ask twice

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.

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.
