Each flotilla has a lead boat with the flotilla guides in charge. They know the area and where the must-see places are. The flotilla consists of several yachts crewed by participants. Most of the time we count between three and seven yachts, mono-hulls and multi-hulls, with fifteen to thirty crew members in total.
The yachts are booked with a local charter company that maintains its fleet in excellent condition. The yachts will vary from 35’ to 54’ in size. Crew members can book by the cabin or, if a couple, family or friends want to sail together, we can book individual yachts as well.
We try to mix and match crew members on the yachts according to their sailing experience, shared interests and personal chemistry.
One of the crew members will act as Captain of record for the charter yacht. To be a skipper in Europe one must have an International Certificate of Competency like the ASA Bareboat Charter Certification (ASA 104). An FCC recreational VHF radio license is also required but can be easily obtained through the FCC website.
