About Us
Every other page on this site is about the boat and what's aboard her. This one is about who you'd actually be sailing with — a family, one photo, and the honest reasons this trip exists at all.
We'd be out here anyway.
This isn't a charter company — it's a family sailing trip that happens to have a spare cabin. We enjoy sharing our experiences with others, and there's a practical side too: sailing shorthanded for weeks at a stretch is tiring, and good company sharing the watches makes it better for everyone.
In return, whoever joins us picks up real sailing experience of their own — new stories at dinner, a hand on the winch if they want it, someone to point at the dolphins with.
A season with us gives you real sea miles, plus time acting as skipper and planning routes when you want it. If you're building sea time toward a ticket like the RYA Yachtmaster, the miles you log aboard count, and Simon is happy to have you standing watches and taking the helm. Before you leave us Simon will validate your seatime if you wish so you can progress with your Yachtmaster certification, providing you remember to bring your RYA Yachtmaster Log Book. And if you'd rather just read in the cockpit? That's fine too — it just won't count toward your ticket. Either way, it's a proper holiday.
Most of the trip isn't sailing at all — it's the quiet bays in between. Kayaks off the stern, a fishing line over the side, and at night the underwater lights turn the anchorage into your own personal pool for a swim under the stars. The toys pages show the kit; this is what it's actually for.
We take on two crew at a time—never more. You get your own cabin and a seat at every meal. This trip is usually Simon, Laura, Tristan and Roxy — with room for two more. It's not a berth on a busy charter; it's joining a family aboard, with all the space and none of the crowd.
If reading this felt less like a brochure and more like a note from friends — that's the idea. Come see where we're headed next and whether the spare cabin has your name on it.
