FAQ
I’ve never been on a boat before. Can I still take part?
Yes, absolutely! Most of the cruise takes place in the lagoon, where the waters stay calm year-round, and we sail under motor for a comfortable ride. For the sunset, we head out into the open sea, but we can stay in the lagoon if you prefer.
Are private sailing charters suitable for families with children?
Absolutely! Children are very welcome. For their safety, anyone who cannot swim will wear a lightweight life jacket throughout the cruise.
Will we be sailing under full sails?
Sailing under full sails is possible, but it’s best suited for those who are comfortable with sailing or eager to actively participate. Our 50-year-old traditional sailboat requires several maneuvers, so this usually feels more like a hands-on sailing session than a relaxed cruise. For a calm, leisurely sunset sail, we normally keep it under motor, but we’re happy to discuss options depending on your experience and the day’s conditions.
Can we tailor the cruise to your preferences?
Yes! The cruise is entirely private and can be shaped around your wishes—listen to your favorite music, celebrate a special moment, savor extra local treats, or simply drift across the lagoon and watch the sunset at your own pace.
