Common Questions
What experience is required to join a charter?
No sailing experience is necessary. Our crew handles all navigation and vessel operation. Guests are welcome to observe or assist if interested, but it is not required. We ask that guests are comfortable being on the water and can move safely around the boat.
How are weather conditions managed?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and may adjust departure times or reschedule if conditions are unsuitable. The monsoon season from May to September brings heavier seas, though we can still operate during favorable windows. If weather forces a cancellation, we arrange an alternative date or provide a refund.
What should guests bring onboard?
We recommend sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), comfortable clothing suitable for marine conditions, and soft-soled shoes. For multi-day charters, bring personal items in a soft bag rather than a hard suitcase. We provide towels, basic toiletries, and safety equipment. Bring any necessary medications.
Are the charters private or shared?
All charters are private. When you book a charter, you reserve the entire vessel for your group. We do not combine bookings or share vessels between different parties. This allows for a more comfortable experience and flexibility in scheduling.
How far in advance should charters be arranged?
We recommend booking at least two weeks ahead, particularly during the high season from November to April. Last-minute requests may be accommodated if the schedule allows. Multi-day charters require more advance notice to coordinate provisioning and crew schedules.
