Skippered cruise

Set sail with an experienced skipper—either one of our own or from our trusted partner network. The skipper handles the vessel, navigation, and port maneuvers, and plans the route based on conditions, allowing you and your loved ones to simply enjoy the journey.

It is also a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into life aboard a yacht and develop your own sailing skills under the guidance of an experienced professional.

For whom: For those seeking a comfortable holiday cruise with family or friends, without the need to skipper the vessel themselves.

Crewed Cruise / Fully Crewed

It is the most comfortable way to enjoy time on the water, offering privacy, freedom, and more time to relax. A modern yacht or catamaran can be chartered with a professional crew—typically a skipper and a hostess.

While the skipper handles navigation and charts the course, the hostess takes care of daily life on board: maintaining order, serving drinks, and preparing simple, fresh meals tailored to the agreed service level and the crew’s preferences.

This allows you to devote your time on board primarily to resting, socializing, swimming in secluded bays, exploring new places, and savoring your sailing holiday.

For whom: For clients expecting a high standard of service, greater privacy, and fewer daily responsibilities on board, as well as for families, groups of friends, couples, and business clients.

The availability of yachts, skippers, hostesses, and routes, as well as the scope of service, depends on the dates, the chosen sailing area, the boat owner, and the specific offer. Detailed terms regarding the charter, security deposit, payment, cancellation, liability, and crew responsibilities are confirmed in each instance prior to booking.

The ABCs of Every Cruise

Organizational standards and costs – how does it work?

Regardless of the chosen option, most cruises and charters in the Mediterranean operate on similar logistical principles. Below is a simple guide to what you can expect before boarding.

Sat → Sat

Weekly cycle: Saturday to Saturday

Most yacht charters in Greece, Croatia, and Italy operate on a standard weekly cycle, typically from Saturday to Saturday.

17:00

Yacht handover / check-in

Saturday afternoon—typically starting around 5:00 PM. This is the time for base formalities, the technical handover of the vessel, crew accommodation, initial provisioning, and relaxed preparations for the voyage.

09:00

Yacht return / check-out

Another Saturday morning—typically until around 9:00 AM. At many bases, the yacht returns to its home marina on Friday afternoon or evening, allowing you to spend the final night on board in the departure port and calmly prepare for disembarkation.

Check-in and check-out times, as well as rules regarding the return to the marina, may vary depending on the charter company, country, base, and specific charter agreement.

Cost breakdown: full transparency

Cruise costs are usually broken down into a few clear categories. This allows you to know from the start exactly what you are paying for—and to distinguish between fixed costs and those that depend on the crew’s travel style.

Charter price

This is the rental cost for the selected vessel: a monohull yacht or a catamaran. Depending on the charter company and the specific offer, the price may also include certain “starter pack” items, such as final cleaning, bed linen, towels, gas cylinders, an outboard motor for the dinghy, or other base fees.

We always clearly indicate exactly what is included in a given offer and which items incur an additional charge.

Refundable security deposit

Most charters require a refundable security deposit to be paid before taking delivery of the yacht. The deposit protects the boat owner against damage, missing equipment, or other costs incurred during the charter.

The deposit amount depends on the specific vessel, the owner, and the country. It may be held as a pre-authorization on a credit card or paid according to the specific base’s policies. We always confirm the details prior to booking.

Yacht kitty / Yacht fund

Yacht cash is a shared contribution from the crew towards the ongoing costs during the voyage. It usually covers:
  • fuel used by the yacht,
  • port and marina fees,
  • buoys or berthing spaces,
  • water and electricity in marinas,
  • groceries for the boat,
  • drinks,
  • minor operating expenses,
  • any tourist taxes or local fees.
The amount of yacht cash depends on the route, the number of marina stops, eating preferences, the length of the voyage, and the crew’s preferences.

Professional service

If you opt for a cruise with a skipper or a full crew, the skipper’s, hostess’s, or other crew members’ wages constitute an additional cost.

When sailing with a skipper or hostess, it is standard practice for the chartering party to provide their meals during the cruise, in accordance with industry standards and the terms of the specific agreement.

The scope of duties for the skipper and hostess, the number of meals, provisioning arrangements, the yacht kitty, and any potential additional costs are always agreed upon prior to the cruise.

Flexibility above all – our role

Unlike rigid, off-the-shelf offers, SkiSail.Co doesn’t confine you to a single port or a fixed itinerary. We work with trusted bases, fleet operators, and charter partners in Greece, Croatia, and Italy.

We don’t force you into a pre-set mold. Instead, we check current vessel availability and analyze factors such as logistics, the season, the destination, the crew’s experience, and the nature of the trip, then propose an itinerary and cruise format perfectly tailored to your expectations.

The final cruise itinerary always depends on weather conditions, the skipper’s decisions, safety protocols, port availability, and any restrictions imposed by the shipowner or local regulations. This ensures the plan is ambitious yet sensible and safe for the crew.

Specific details regarding the price, security deposit, starter pack, additional fees, crew services, cancellation policies, and liability depend on the chosen yacht, shipowner, location, and the specific offer. We confirm all key terms prior to booking.

About us

Our passion

At SkiSail.Co, we live for the wind, the water, and the open horizon. For us, sailing is far more than just a business—it is a lifestyle we want to share with you.

We specialize in organizing and arranging sailing cruises and charters that blend the thrill of the open water with blissful relaxation in secluded bays, charming harbors, and the most stunning locations across the Mediterranean. We help transform an ordinary holiday into a thoughtfully planned sailing adventure—tailored specifically to your crew, your pace, and your expectations.

Our story

SkiSail.Co was born out of a genuine love for adventure. As a team of experienced sailors, we have spent thousands of hours at the helm, exploring diverse waters and coastlines—from the Ionian Sea in Greece and the charming corners of Croatia to select destinations in Italy.

We recognized how challenging it can be for clients to find the right boat, a trustworthy owner, a reliable skipper, and an itinerary that truly matches the spirit of the trip. That is why we created a brand that bridges the gap between you and vetted fleets and charter partners across Europe, offering peace of mind from the very first point of contact.

 

Our promise

Whether you are looking for a comfortable crewed catamaran, a skippered cruise, or a bareboat charter for a family trip, we promise transparency, dedication, and expert advice at every stage.

If we are unable to skipper the cruise ourselves, we will help you select a reliable vessel and a trusted, qualified external skipper. We care for your holiday as if we were planning it for ourselves—with attentiveness, peace of mind, and deep respect for the fact that a vacation on the water should be a truly special experience.

The specific scope of SkiSail.Co’s support, along with the charter agreement details and terms regarding payment, security deposits, cancellations, and liability, are confirmed in a personalized offer prior to booking.

Frequently asked questions about cruises

This arrangement ensures a more comfortable travel experience. The skipper handles the vessel, including navigation, port maneuvers, and route planning based on conditions.

The hostess assists with daily life on board: helping to keep common areas tidy, preparing meals according to the agreed service scope, and serving drinks. You and your guests can focus primarily on relaxing, swimming in bays, socializing, and exploring new places.

The hostess’s duties, the number of meals, provisioning, the yacht kitty, and dietary preferences are all determined prior to the cruise.

The Greek Ionian Sea and Croatia are excellent choices for a family sailing holiday. These destinations offer beautiful bays, good infrastructure, and a wide range of routes that can be tailored to a family-friendly pace.

For those seeking the Italian lifestyle, exquisite cuisine, and a more distinctive travel experience, cruises in Italy can also be an appealing option.

The final choice of destination depends on the timing, budget, the children’s ages, the crew’s experience, and the desired style of vacation. That is why, before making a recommendation, we always ask what your ideal week on the water would truly look like.
