What information do we have about each port of call.: Our team will set out daily, places of interest, things to do and see. Everywhere is different and many people have their own idea of what they prefer to do. For example, we have had many people who want to kit up and go hiking at each new destination, others who want to jump on a kayak and go exploring little bays and inlets. Some want to fish and others just sit in a coffee shop or cafe and take in the passing parade!

How far do we travel in a day: Generally on our cruising tours we like to keep the travel/sailing part of the day to 3 -4 hours. This gives our guests the opportunity to explore new destinations, see points of interest or the history of the region. There are occasional days where we travel up to 5 hours, this is so that we can get to a particular destination. Guests are always made aware of what the travel time will be in relation to each day.
What do I have to do on board.: Your on-board experience is up to you. We have many people who would prefer to sit back, relax, read a book or take in the scenery. For those who have a desire to do some sailing or learn more about boats, navigation or any of the many aspects of sailing, our skippers are only too willing to get you involved in any or all aspects of the boat.
Change of Itinerary: If, in our opinion, it is desirable to change or alter an itinerary, we will do that in order to make our guest experience the best it can be.
