5 Twin/double Bed Cabins With En Suite Or Shared Facilities
A NOTE REGARDING SMALL SPACES ON SAILBOATS: - Please note that the rooming for these boats is assigned upon arrival and neither particular cabins, nor berths can be guaranteed. You will be sharing a bunk or double bed with your travel partner or one of your fellow passengers of the same sex and sharing the bathrooms onboard. - 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. - It may be possible to 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. - 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 in open air on main deck are often available. - Please note that the Skipper CEO will also be sharing the ship's quarters and amenities with you. - Power onboard is 220V on European 2-pin sockets. Please note that this is not suitable for sleeping aid machines(CPAP), as the power source will not always be available. Bringing a battery pack for charging is recommended.
Cabin Types and Bookings: - Sailboats offer a mix of different cabin types and sizes. Some cabins have bunk beds, others have double beds, and in some cases there are ensuite bathrooms while in others bathrooms are shared. - Specific cabins cannot be guaranteed unless pre-booked, but you may choose to book a particular cabin type in advance with our sales team, where availability allows. Booking an ensuite option provides the added convenience of a private bathroom, while shared facilities are common in standard cabin arrangements.
