Most frequent questions and answers.

Do I need any sailing experience?

No, you don’t need any experience to participate and to enjoy your sailing day. You will be accompanied by an experienced skipper who is used to sail with beginning crews.

Will I have the opportunity to steer the boat?

Yes, all crew members will have the opportunity to participate to the different sailing maneuvers, including steering and sail trimming.

Should I be afraid of sea sickness?

No. Sea sickness also hits sailing champions and it does not stop them to sail around the world. Seasickness can be prevented or limited by various means, such as wearing warm and comfortable clothes, staying outside to look at the horizon, eating and drinking (water) regularly, etc.

Do I need specific clothing?

No. We provide the safety gear such as life jackets. Just check out the weather forecast the day before and make sure to dress comfortably and to wear a raincoat and appropriate shoes (with white soles). Depending on the weather, we will also provide you with sailing pants, and we have some spare jackets for you.

What happens if the weather is too bad?

In general, there is no bad weather, but only bad equipment. However, should the weather really be too bad, we always foresee a second date.
