Frequently asked
About this charter type
Do I need to know how to sail?
No - crewed sailing yachts have professional crew handling every aspect of sailing. Guests can be entirely passengers. Captain teaches the helm in 1-2 hours if interested.
Sailing vs motor yacht for the same length?
Sailing yachts are 30-40% cheaper for equivalent length. Pay-off: slower passages (8-10 knots cruise vs 13-16), less interior volume (mast takes vertical space). Right for buyers who specifically want the sailing experience.
Ionian vs Cyclades for sailing?
Ionian for relaxed family sailing (no Meltemi, calm waters). Cyclades for charterers who want wind sailing experience (real downwind passages in Meltemi).
