Is being out on the water your passion, but prefer not to be the one “in control”? Love the thrill of the start of a sailing race, but preferably from the side-lines? Can’t really own your own amazing yacht, but love admiring them?
Why not come out on a skippered charter – yacht, powerboat or Rib – and “spectate”? Be a part of it, without actually taking part!
