10 years ago to the day, I was a Yachtie doing a shipyard season in Spain. I remember that we were all so happy to finally have “normal” working hours after a full on season, and actually enjoy our time off and have the time to explore the area, exercise, get fit, and maybe even learn new skills! We actually ended up spending most of our time off in bars. We could have been exploring the country,
and doing fun and healthy activities. We just got caught up… We never really took the time to organize outings for everyone and we had a hard time leaving the comfort zone of the crew mess sofa. Even though bar hopping and clubbing was fun, I really wish that someone had come to the boat and said “There’s an outing planned this weekend let’s get the crew together and go paddle boarding, go karting, go mountain biking or see a concert !”, and that all we would have to do is book it ! This is probably when I started thinking about creating Crew Time Off
Inspired by a strong desire to lead a healthy active life and make the most of my free time, I’ve started Crew Time Off to help and inspire other yacht crew to do just that! Crew Time Off is designed to help Yacht crew to maximise their time off during their shipyard season in La Ciotat and Marseille. After work, Day out and Weekends, we are offering sports, cultural and touristic activities with pick up and drop off at the boat!
