Experienced Skippers for a Hassle-Free Sailing Experience
Sail Independently or with Our Expert Skippers
Want to sail the boat yourself? Ensure you have two people with either an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) in sailing or RYA Day Skipper certificates as a minimum. For those without experienced sailors on board, we offer fully qualified, experienced skippers to assist you throughout your journey.
Our Skippers’ Expertise and Qualifications
Our skippers are commercially endorsed, having completed first aid and sea survival courses, undergone medical exams, and demonstrated high sailing proficiency. They are knowledgeable about the best routes, prime swim spots, and evening destinations, ensuring you have the best time possible. Whether you want to sail extensively or learn the basics, our skippers are here to guide you.
Learn and Enjoy with Our Skippers
You can do as much or as little sailing as you wish. Our skippers are eager to teach you, making your holiday both fun and educational. Experience a blend of relaxation and learning on your sailing adventure.
Hosts for a Relaxing and Enjoyable Holiday
Enhance Your Experience with a Host
A host on board saves you from the hassles of cooking, washing dishes, and supermarket shopping, allowing you to fully enjoy your holiday. Note that a host can only be added if you also have one of our skippers on board.
Host Services
Our hosts prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner (dinner for a maximum of 2-3 nights a week), serve drinks with dinner, wash dishes after meals, and ensure the galley area stays clean and tidy. They also handle small amounts of food shopping for fresh supplies like bread, milk, and salad. For an even more stress-free experience, opt for the ‘Fully Stocked Yacht’ option when booking.
Hand-Selected Skippers and Hosts
All our skippers and hosts are carefully selected by The Big Sail team to ensure a fun, safe, and relaxing week for all our guests. Trust our professionals to provide top-notch service and make your sailing holiday unforgettable.
