How to choose the right vessel for your cruise

[STARTER-V1]

Choosing the right vessel mostly comes down to the kind of cruise you're after and whether you hold the right licence.

Calm sailing

If you hold a sailing licence and dream of a classic cruise under sail, a sailboat is the natural choice.

A cruise without sailing

If you'd rather have comfort without any sailing required, a motor yacht offers a comfortable day on the water.

A cruise with a bigger group

For a bigger group or a multi-day trip, a catamaran is the best choice — stable, spacious and with sleeping room for several people.

What to check before booking

  1. Check whether the selected vessel requires a licence, and which one.
  2. Pay attention to the deposit amount.
  3. Consider booking a cruise with a skipper if you don't hold a licence.

Whatever you choose, every vessel in our fleet goes through a thorough inspection before it's handed over.
