Frequently Asked Questions:
What's the difference between a catamaran and a monohull?
Catamarans are more stable and spacious, offering more room for dancing. Monohulls, the traditional form of a sailboat, are more nimble and responsive to the wind and waves as well as the actions of the crew. Due to the overwhelming demand for monohull tickets we have decided, for now, to expand the monohull pool in place of a cat. We might add the cat tickets back in case there is sufficient people to fill one so be sure to reach out.
Seasickness?
Most people are not affected by sea-sickness in the Mediterranean and those that are can usually manage it with seasickness medication (and often just on the first day), or a variety of tips that your skipper will be aware of.
Will there be additional costs or charges?
An additional ~100 - 150 EUR is expected to be spent by participants on shared costs like groceries, marina fees, and fuel. We are fully ensuring the boats though, so no chance of additional payments that need to be made in case something goes wrong etc.
