There are 4 standard bunk/twin cabins and 3 standard double cabins, below deck, accessed by steep stairs. All standard cabins feature porthole windows. For your added comfort all cabins feature air-conditioning and private en suite bathrooms.
- Power onboard is 220V on European 2 pin sockets. Please note that this is not suitable for CPAP sleeping aid machines, as the power source may not always be guaranteed. Bringing a battery pack is recommended.
- Please be aware that as this is a real sailboat and not a cruise vessel, the space on board is tight. The sleeping quarters on sailboats are generally kept to a minimum size in order to maximize public space and performance. The vessel also features an onboard kitchenette, interior and exterior common areas, and plenty of outside deck space.
- Some people are not comfortable with the type of close quarter arrangements typically found on sailboats, however if a real sailing experience on a real sailboat is what you are after, then this experience should more than make up for cramped quarters. Opportunities to sleep under the stars on deck are often available.
- If you are a single traveller, you will be paired up in a cabin with another traveller of the same gender. You will be sharing a bunk or double bed with a fellow passenger of the same sex and sharing the bathrooms onboard. Please note cabins have limited luggage storage space. Most travellers spend little time in their cabins, mainly using them to sleep and store their belongings.
- It may be possible to sometimes smell engine and/or diesel fumes when in the cabins, due to their proximity to the engine room. Most travel is done during the day, so it is unlikely you will be in the cabin when the engine is running.
