Do I need to provide food for my skipper and host?

No, you do not need to provide food for your skipper and host.

We have implemented a policy to ensure that all food costs for skippers are covered by the company. If your skipper asks you for money to cover their food expenses, please report this to us immediately.

For boats with food packages, your skipper and host are entitled to eat with you from that food package during the week.

When it comes to dining out at restaurants, it's up to you if you want to treat your skipper. No pressure—just enjoy the vibes and make this week one to remember!

Your comfort and enjoyment are our top priorities, and we aim to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience on your sailing trip. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
