After You booked

Once your application is filled out and approved, we will send you a confirmation email and an invoice for the 50% deposit. Your space will not we fully confirmed until we receive this deposit. The invoice can either be paid with a credit card, or via international bank transfer. The final 50% balance is due 60 days before the passage starts.

Rates will include all onboard necessities, including food, use of PFDs, etc. Not included are airfare to and from the boat, airport transfers, meals & drinks ashore, shoreside excursions (unless where indicated), personal sailing gear (boots, foulies) etc. 

Additionally, you may combine any of the back-to-back legs (for example, to sail the entirety of an Atlantic crossing from Portugal to Antigua). We ask the crew to stay ashore during the stop-over to let the skipper & mate turn around the boat and get a little break in between.
