FAQ

Below you can find the most frequently asked questions. If you are interested in more, don't hesitate to contact us.

Do you need to be a sailor to join or have experience with sailing?

No experience needed to join, we will be glad to guide you.

How many people are needed for sailing?

The more the better. But under 8 people, it's gonna be a little tough. And you know the saying, "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much".

Will I be busy all the time on deck?

The boss is always the nature (and the Captain :D). Depends on wind and the curse. But no worries, you will find a moment to chill, enjoy the view, search for seals, drink a cup of coffee, eat a snack or whatever you find nice.

Is the stay on board suitable for children?

Yes, children are very welcome. We had all ages on board. The youngest child so far was 5 months old. It's always the parents' decision, of course. Don't be afraid to email us for more information!

Are there life jackets on board?

Yes, more than enough. It is compulsory for children under 13 y.o. to wear a life jacket.

Can I drink the water on board?

Yes you can, it is normal drinking water on board (don't drink the sea water tho).

Are there showers on board?

There are 2 showers on board. For longer showers you can aswell use the public showers in each of the ports.

What kind of toilets are on board?

We are pleased to inform you that we have toilets on board similar to the ones you have at home. Only they are more sensitive, so it is important to throw in only what belongs there and a little bit of toilet paper. :)

Is the kitchen fully equipped?

The kitchen is well equipped for all basic cooking, baking, food preparation, food storage (fridge, freezer, basic storage place).

Can we sail in all kinds of weather?

That being said, nature is the boss. Weather, conditions and the crew are the ones who decide. Captain will always discuss all options and possible alternatives with you. If the wind strength is over 7bf we will stay in harbour and find an another fun stuffs to do.

Do we need to take care of the crew (Captain and the mate)?

That would be really kind and we'd be grateful for a small snack during the day and would be happy to join you for dinner. We sail during the day and don't have much time to cook. :)

Can we steer the ship as well?

It all depends on the situation, but yes, we'll be happy to show you what it's like to steer a 110 tonne lady and let you experience it.

Is there a BBQ on board? If yes, can I use it?

Yes, for coals! BBQ on anchor is recommended!

Is smoking on board allowed?

You can smoke on board. But not near the sails and certainly not below deck. Oh and don't throw anything in the Mother Sea. :)

What coffee do you drink?

Black for the skipper.
