When does the crew meet and can I come outside the recommended arrival time?

The crew usually meets between 2 and 4 p.m. in the marina or a nearby café.

From around 5 p.m., the skipper can board the yacht and carry out the handover. Meanwhile, the crew goes shopping.

Late arrival is possible in exceptional cases by arrangement.

Saturday is an organisation day - sailing usually takes place on Sunday after the safety briefing.

Which piece of luggage is best?

A sports bag or hiking rucksack is best.

Please do not bring a hard-shell suitcase - there is no storage space for it and it is always in the way.

Recommendation: Packing list on the website.

What happens after I book my cruise?

After your booking, you will receive further information by email at regular intervals. This includes tips on packing, advice on meal planning, etc.

About a week before the start of the trip, we create a Whatsapp group where you can get to know each other as a crew and the skipper.

Approx. 5 days before the start of the cruise you will receive the final arrival information including a harbour plan and berth.

And then it's time to cast off!

Do I need a passport or identity card?

That depends on the area.

An identity card is sufficient in most districts.

A passport is required for overseas destinations (Thailand, Caribbean, Seychelles, etc.).

Recommendation: Check current information with the Federal Foreign Office.

Will I get to know my fellow sailors before departure?

Yes, a WhatsApp group will be created in the week before your trip. You can discuss travel and organisation there.

Are there bed linen, pillows and towels on board?

Yes, you will be provided with bed linen and a towel.

But bring another towel yourself.

A beach towel is not necessary - you jump straight into the sea.
