Skipper for hire
Hire a skipper for your own yacht
You keep your yacht and your plans. We bring the experience: a skipper or a crew of two joins you on board for as long as you need.
When owners hire a skipper
A passage you plan
You choose the route and the dates. The skipper takes command at sea, including night passages with your crew on watch.
A day or a week at sea
Sail your own yacht with a skipper on board, for a day out or a week of cruising.
Coaching on your own boat
Learn to handle your yacht with confidence: mooring, sail handling, engine checks and night watches. Practical coaching, not a certified course.
Same day rates as a delivery
Skipper from €280/day, crew of two from €450/day. Days at sea and crew travel days are charged at the full day rate, preparation and handover in a marina at 50%. Waiting for weather is not charged. Crew food is paid separately from the first day on board. The yacht must be insured.

Before you hire a skipper
Can I hire a skipper without a full delivery?
Yes. A skipper or a crew of two joins your boat for a passage you plan, a day or a week at sea, or coaching on board.
