Sailing
Our passengers agree with us that the actual sailing on a yacht chartered by Sailing Cruises in Comfort is quite spectacular; the best part of the journey. In fact, many of our regular passengers do not feel the need to go ashore as they want to enjoy the sailing as much as possible.
As soon as they weigh anchor and depart from the harbour or bay, the captain turns the yacht with the bow to the wind then the sails are hoisted and the excitement grows. On some yachts the sails are more than 700m2 and it is sensational to see the crew hoist these, in no time at all.
The sailing
Sailing Cruises in Comfort has a reputation for being the only company chartering yachts that actually really sail in this region. 
This has been the case from the beginning and still stands today and the crew love the challenge of sailing as much as possible during the week. The yachts weigh between 45 and 100 tons and they can reach a speed of around 12 knots when sailing. For passengers who join us for the first time it is sometimes hard to believe that the yachts can really sail. However after the first few minutes, after the sails have been hoisted, they sit back and enjoy the thrill of it all.
Experienced crew
Sailing Cruises in Comfort encourages all crew to sail as much as possible. All captains know how to get the best out of their yacht and their expertise is now systematically passed on to the young sailors. Of course, all captains and crew have the correct documentation and certificates.
The teams
All crew is employed all year round. The teams are completely used to each other’s ways; the captain gives his commands to the crew with barely discernable nods, simple gestures and occasionally, the odd one word. The chef will step out of his galley to act as sailor and every crew member knows exactly what move they have to make.
The sensation of sailing
Every sailor knows that feeling of freedom when you are on the water and it is no different on the yachts chartered by us, however, the feeling is that little bit stronger. With the classic design, the size of the yacht and the fact it is a wooden yacht and you have the wonderful sensation of sailing as they did centuries ago, without modern equipment. You really experience being a traveller on a classic sailing yacht, lying on the sun deck or sitting on the aft deck with the sails flapping in the wind, admiring the rugged coastline and the sheer expanse of the sea, not knowing exactly where you are going as the robust yacht pounds through the waves and knowing that you are truly sailing.

The coastlineRest assured that we do keep the wishes of our passengers in mind and we do not sail continuously in ´regatta mode’! And the coastline is always within sight and reach. |
