Flotilla charter

What is a flotilla charter?

A flotilla charter offers a unique combination of independence and a communal sailing experience. It involves a group of yachts sailing together, led by a guide boat steered by a professional crew. This allows participants to enjoy the freedom of their own boat while having support and social interaction with other sailors.

Advantages of a flotilla charter

Support and safety: The lead boat provides technical support and local knowledge, which is particularly beneficial for less experienced sailors.
Socialising: Flotillas offer a social element with planned shared activities such as beach barbecues, punch parties and regattas, ideal for families, couples and friends.
Flexibility: Although a route is set, participants have the freedom to choose their own pace and make individual stops.
Experienced skipper: The lead boat is steered by an experienced skipper who gives daily briefings and provides assistance when needed.

Types of flotillas
