Experience

FLOTILLAS

Flotillas really are the best of both worlds.
All the freedom of a bareboat charter combined with the comfort and camaraderie of group travel.

Flotilla sailing charter vacations bring together a fleet of sailboats, each operating independently with its own crew, along with a lead boat and flotilla leader who knows the local area well. By joining a flotilla, you can enjoy the freedom of skippering your own boat but have comfort in knowing that support and advice are on hand to help with navigation and local weather. They provide a way for sailors to meet fantastic new people and have an incredible experience they’ll remember all their lives. For many, attending a flotilla has given them the confidence to go chartering on their own.
