Next departure dates for this travel

1. Do I need a prior sailing experience?
No prior sailing experience is required at all!! If you want to learn about sailing, we’ll be delighted to teach you. However, there are no obligations whatsoever.

2. How many will we be on the yacht?
The sailing yachts or catamarans that we use have 5 - 6 cabins/boat, which means you will be with a max of 10 - 12 persons together, unless you want to charter the yacht exclusively.

3. Can I come with a friend(s)?
Sure you can, but don't feel like you are going to be left out if you don't, as many of our passengers come on their own.

4. Can friends be assigned to the same yacht?Of course, and in case your group is larger than 12 (the max capacity of our yachts), you will be on 2 or 3 boats, but we will always be sailing, mooring, and eating together. It will practically seem as if it was one boat and the fun will be while sailing coast to coast because we will be racing for fun :)

No

6. Do we go ashore when we stop?
Yes, we visit the islands, the villages, the ruins, etc.

12. Is smoking allowed?
For safety reasons, and to prevent lingering odors remaining to disturb the comfort of actual or future guests, smoking is not permitted inside the yacht. But of course smoking is permitted on deck in the open air.

13. What about drugs?
It’s strictly forbidden to use any kind of drugs or illegal substances including misuse of prescription medication. Any use, possession or association with drug products may be cause for immediate dismissal from the sailing cruise, without refund.

19. How much pocket money should we foresee?
It depends of everyone, but the average is around 150$.

20. Are there showers and hot water on the yacht?
Yes

22. Where do we all sleep?
You will be surprised to discover how spacious our yachts can be from inside. Each yacht has 5 to 6 cabins that can accommodate 2 persons each. But, for the most part, the evenings are clear and dry and most of us like to sleep out on deck, swinging in a hammock under the stars.

23. Is there a single supplement?
All cabins are for 2 persons each and most people are quite happy to share a cabin. However, if you really prefer a cabin to yourself, you have the possibility to book the cabin alone and pay additional 50% of the cruise price + Taxes.

24. What about seasickness?
Seasickness is caused when the inner ear organs that enable a human to balance are disturbed by the motion of the boat swaying and pitching. This movement sets off alarm signals to the brain causing nausea, headache, dizziness and sometimes vomiting. This condition can be intensified by the lack of fresh air.
In general, LESS than 10% of the people can be subjected to Seasickness. But since the sailing cruises that we organize always take place in beautiful weather, everybody stays out on deck while we are sailing. While exposed to fresh air, the risk of being Seasick is much lower. Besides, the yachts we are operating are very stable especially when we are sailing (a sailboat is much more stable than any motor boat because of the action of the wind on the sails and the heavy keel that stabilizes the boat).
Finally, you can avoid seasickness by looking at the distant horizon and staying out on the deck. If all these weren't enough for you and you're still seasick, which rarely happens, we always have “Dramamine, Gravol etc.” on board. These are simple medications for motion and seasickness. You can take a pill and you’ll be fine.

25. Which is the nearest airport?
The airport of Dalaman (1H30 by taxi) or the airport of Bodrum (2H30 by taxi) and also the airport of Antalya (4H30 by taxi).

26. If you arranged for me and I already paid for the airport taxi transfers, how will I find the taxi driver at the airport?
The taxi driver will be waiting for you at the exit gate at the airport and he will be holding a paper with our logo printed on it.

27. Do I need a passport?
Yes, a valid passport is needed.

28. Where will the boat be located?The boat will be located on pontoon "N" in "Netsel Marina" in Marmaris, Turkey.
In case of any problem getting there you can contact Laurent Messarra on this mobile number: 0090 538 660 33 44

29. Who is the contact in case of problem?
You can contact Laurent Messarra on: 0090 538 660 3344
