We've all had that "nail-biting" moment ...you've been dreaming of that big trip for ages then finally you decide to go ahead and BOOK it. ... but then the questions come ...

One of the common questions we get (apart from the sailing related ones!) - is what if I had to cancel?

We get it ... It's a big outlay and it's often booked quite far ahead ... things can change.

So, we are pleased to offer "booking protection" as an option on all our trips from now. 100% reimbursement, no hassle, no questions, for a range of the most common reasons people need to change their plans.

So ... now you can focus on the important questions like:
How much sailing experience do you need? - usually none
Is it ok for solo travellers? - yep, totally
Will the skipper shout at me? - no, Never!

Time to book that adventure ...
