Charter Skippering
For clients seeking a professional skipper for their own charters, whether in the UK or Europe, I can assist.
I have joined many boats acting as skipper for those wishing to avoid the stress of handling a new vessel, often in geographies that they are unfamiliar with.
Whether you're planning a celebration with friends, a family sailing holiday, or simply want to experience sailing without taking responsibility for the boat, I offer professional charter skippering services. You choose where you'd like to go, and I'll handle the sailing, navigation, and boat management, leaving you free to relax and enjoy the experience.
Types of Charter
Family sailing holidays
Special celebrations
Corporate events and team building
Groups wanting to explore new cruising grounds
Mile-building passages for aspiring sailors
How It Works
I work with charter companies and private boat owners to provide skippered services for their vessels, or you can arrange your own charter and hire me separately. My own yacht ‘Arcarius’ is also available for skippered charter and more details can be found here:
I'll help plan an itinerary that matches your group's interests and the time available, handle the yacht management, and ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time on the water.
What You Can Expect
I'll arrive prepared with passage plans and weather forecasts, conduct a thorough safety briefing, and manage the yacht professionally throughout your charter. Whether you want to be actively involved in sailing or prefer to simply enjoy the ride, I'll adapt to your group's preferences. I'm equally comfortable with enthusiastic beginners wanting to learn as I am with experienced sailors who'd rather leave the responsibility to someone else for a change.
Experience
I've skippered charters ranging from gentle coastal day sails to challenging offshore passages, family holidays to lively celebrations. Whatever the group and whatever the occasion, my priority is ensuring everyone has a memorable experience afloat.
