Bareboat Refresher

A bareboat refresher (or assisted bareboat sailing) is a great option for less experienced sailors looking to learn more or for those a little rusty to brush up on their sailing skills. The aim of a bareboat refresher is to give you and your crew the confidence to sail bareboat without the need for a flotilla.

The refresher provides a skipper at the start of the holiday so you get chance to unwind and get used to the boat and the sailing area. Your skipper is with you on an open ended basis for the first days of your holiday and can leave the boat each evening after you are moored safely. Practice stern to mooring with your skipper and take advantage of his knowledge of the sailing area visiting all the best ports, bays and tavernas.

Having a skipper onboard lets you, your family or friends learn new sailing skills and gain experience and confidence in a relaxed informal setting. Keep the skipper for as little or long as you need and progress to a full bareboat yacht charter when you feel you are ready with the peace of mind that you have 24/7 back up and support throughout your holiday.

Once the skipper leaves your yacht you and your crew will be happy and confident to sail safely together bareboat around the Ionian Islands.
