Private charter
Eight to twenty of you, on any dates a boat is free, sailing a route we draw with you rather than hand to you. Most of our charters are families, a few are dive clubs, and one was a wedding.
How it works
Roughly when, roughly how many, which water pulls at you, and what the group actually enjoys. Three minutes, and nothing is binding.
A real person, with which boats are free, a firm day rate, and usually an opinion about your dates that you did not ask for.
One or two calls with the cruise director. Anchorages, dive plan, what time your teenagers are likely to surface, whether anyone gets seasick.
Balance 60 days out. Dates move once, free of charge, whatever the notice — charter groups have school terms and grandparents to work around.
If there are fewer than six of you, an open trip is usually better value and rather more sociable — you get the same boat, crew and route for a fraction of the cost, and most guests end up friends by day three.
Three minutes, nothing binding
