Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need sailing experience to join?
No sailing experience is necessary! Our experienced and qualified skipper will guide you every step of the way, ensuring beginners and seasoned sailors alike feel supported throughout the journey.
All you need is a willingness to give it a go and enjoy the experience. That said, we do recommend completing the Competent Crew course beforehand to make the most of your adventure.
How much sailing should I expect?
On our sailing holiday, you can expect a wonderful balance between sailing and relaxation. While it is a sailing holiday, we understand that it is also your vacation. The distance between the islands can vary from 5 to 30 nautical miles, and the itinerary may be slightly adjusted based on weather conditions to ensure your safety and comfort.
We encourage everyone to get involved and be part of the sailing experience. Our crew fosters a team spirit and welcomes everyone to participate in navigating, hoisting sails, and steering the yacht. However, if you prefer to simply sit back, relax, and soak in the beautiful surroundings, that’s absolutely fine too. It’s your holiday, and we want you to enjoy every moment in a way that suits you best.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring a friend along on this adventure. Many of our clients have years of sailing experience and often bring a friend or partner who may not be familiar with boats. Our experienced crew will ensure that everyone feels comfortable and has a fantastic time exploring Sardinia & Corsica.

The Jenneau SunLoft 47 holds up to 13 people, although we aim to have 8-10 crew with one qualified skipper.
