Think of your charter boat as a fully equipped floating holiday home. On board, you’ll find everything needed for comfortable living and confident sailing. That includes a well-appointed galley with modern appliances, navigation instruments and charts, a saloon and dining area, bedding and linen, and full bathroom facilities.

For enjoying your days afloat, most boats come with a dinghy and outboard motor, cockpit cushions, sun loungers, and basic snorkelling gear. Some may also include extras like fishing equipment, stand-up paddleboards, or onboard entertainment systems—though this can vary between boats.

Each charter yacht is different, so we’ll provide a detailed inventory on booking. If there’s specific equipment or water toys you’d like on board, let us know. Many extras can be pre-ordered, either through the base or a nearby hire provider. Your boat will be ready with full fuel and water tanks so you can step aboard and start your adventure right away.
