If we don’t have the answer to your question, don’t hesitate to contact us!!!
— Does membership to the association have additional costs?
No, it is included in the fee
— What happens in case of bad weather?
The holiday for us is «the boat», not the itinerary.
We will then modify the itinerary to navigate and ensure safety on board.

The record expense recorded to date for a motor-only navigation from Leuca to Corfu and return was Euro 370, divided by the entire crew. (So 37 euros per person).
— How much can the expense for ports amount to?
The cost of ports varies from location to location.
The port of Corfu Town (Mandraki Port) is the most expensive, with 65 euros per day
The average is 50 euros per port.
The costs are always to be considered to be shared with the rest of the group.

We recommend bringing Xamamina or travelgum with you in case you risk getting sick.
— What happens in case of bad weather on the day of the outward or return crossing?
The outward crossing may be postponed, the return crossing may be brought forward. If one of these conditions occurs, the tour will start or continue along the Salento coasts. Sarà comunque garantito l’uso dell’imbarcazione.
Assolutamente SI.
For those wishing to delve into the world of sailing, the holiday is an excellent solution for a training experience.
A briefing will be given immediately after boarding, where a common fund will be set up.
By paying 50 euros to the skipper or to a volunteer of the elected representative group.
Immediately afterwards, part or all of the group will go and buy the agreed list to ship it by the evening. So we could leave early on Sunday morning.
— Will a WhatsApp group be created?
Of course,
about a week before, a WhatsApp group will be created.
This group will serve to introduce the participants, to start creating a galley list which will then be «closed» upon boarding.
Upon his return from the previous tour, the skipper will communicate which (sealed) products are already on board, possibly left by previous groups.
— Snorkelling and fishing equipment?
— How is the common fund managed?
The common fund is managed by the skipper or by a group representative elected during the briefing.
The common fund requires an initial payment of 50 euros per person.
If the fund is not enough it will have to be reconstituted with a new payment.
All payments must be accompanied by a receipt, receipt or invoice.
At the end of the week the remaining cash will be divided equally among all participants.
There are 220V sockets in each cabin.
The 220V sockets can be used when the boat is in port with the main socket connected to the shore column.
During navigation or during stops at anchor, it will be possible to recharge using a common inverter present in the dinette (the common lounge of the boat).
— What happens in case of damage?
If a guest accidentally breaks something, we will try to repair it first, so as to avoid additional costs.
If the damage needs to be resolved with a replacement, the organization will provide an official estimate of the broken piece, so as to justify the refund amount that must be paid to the skipper.
