  • For courses that involve overnight stays on the yacht, all meals are included. (Note, however, that we may eat ashore on one evening, the cost of which you will need to cover. Don’t worry, it won’t be expensive.)
  • Lunch and morning/afternoon tea are provided on courses that do not involve overnight stays on the yacht.
  • On 5-day live-aboard courses we’ll pull into marinas a number of times over the duration – where you can shower. For showers onboard, please remember water on board is precious and limited.
  • Everyone on board will be involved in meal preparation and clean up.
  • Those that wish to bring alcohol may do so – but standing orders are that no alcohol is consumed until the completion of the sailing day. Bear in mind that we will keep you busy into the evening on most days.
  • We are very aware how precious your holiday leave is, so many of our courses are based around long weekends.
