Terms
& Conditions / Booking Information
For
our weekly CABIN CHARTERS (Shared Yacht)
The
cabin charter option is great for those
who wish to share the yacht with other
passengers, these cruises are friendly
and warm, with always very good spirit
on board, as to choose this kind of cruise,
more authentic and close to Greek culture
and nature than cruise-ships, constitutes
a "natural filter".
Moreover
as our yachts are large and comfortable
you can keep your privacy on-board and
decide to enjoy romantic dinners on shore
- just the two of you if you wish ;-)
The
IRINA is 74 gross tonnage (useful volume),
it has nothing to do with a 50 foot sailboat
usually around 25 GRT.
Nothing
to do with a boat full of dozens of passengers
with its noisy generator running ...
Our
schooners are not "luxury". Instead they
offer simple comfort, well above that
of a smaller sailboat but you're not on
a cruise ship.
A
trip close to a private yacht ("one table"
yacht), but with the authenticity of our
traditional wooden boats.

The
Only Extras:
The
dinners on shore and the crew tips.
For
the Cyclades cruises we start in Mykonos
harbour.
For
a "Standard" cabin type, its best to travel
with 'soft' luggage.
The
formula:
The
boat is rented as a whole ("oliki navlosi")
by the whole group, and you agree to be
part of it (only 4 or 5 cabins on each
schooner and departure is guaranteed with
a minimum of only 4 passengers).
It
is a grouping system that allows to enjoy
a boat over 70 feet at a reasonable price.
It
is close to a private yacht cruise, but
with the authenticity of our wooden schooners.
These yachts are "fifty", means to use
sails with engines. Sails give stability
and security when there is strong wind,
but is rarely possible to use only the
sails.
Good
to know:
These
are the 4 ways to make cruises aboard
"small boats" (we offer the option number
3):
- Option
1. "Bare boat": all tasks are carried
out by our guests.
- Option
2. "With skipper": The skipper is responsible
for the operation of the boat, guests
take care of provisioning, cooking,
dishes, final cleaning etc...
- Option
3. "With Skipper and hostess (or seaman-cook)": You do not have to do the shopping,
preparing meals or doing the dishes.
- Option
4. Yacht with full crew and "hotel service":
Additional crew members are dedicated
to passenger's service and other clean
the boat during all the week. A yacht
of this type has usually at least 5
crew members and the weekly price varies
between 30,000 and 300,000 Euro for
a group of 8 to 12 passengers. It is
possible to find cheaper in Egypt or
Turkey.
We
offer the option number 3, with a family
atmosphere on board. This means
that you put your feet under the table,
that the skipper is responsible for navigation,
but no one is at the service of anyone,
or everyone can be on the service to everyone
when needed : team spirit. There are currently
no cabin and hotel service and, in one
week, each one will probably have the
opportunity to put a little "hand dough"
on various aspects of life on board (even
to launch a drink).
If
one is used to cruise ships with a whole
part of the crew for passenger's service
and expects the same thing, better to
choose then a cruise ship or hire a yacht
with at least 5 crew members. Our formula
has advantages (small group, "as his own
boat," access to small coves and fishing
villages, authenticity), but everyone
can have a small participation and there
is no "hotel service".
