How much a sailing tour costs: an honest breakdown

The most common guest question is "what does it cost?". Here's the answer from the captain who prices every tour himself.

Three formats — three prices

• A berth in a shared cabin — from €1,100 per week. You come solo or as a couple, we match the company.
• A private cabin — from €2,200 per week for two: your own cabin with ensuite bathroom, like a hotel room.
• The whole yacht — from €6,700 per week: 4 cabins, up to 8 guests, route fully yours. Exotics (Seychelles, Caribbean) — from €12,000.

Flights — yours (we'll help pick). Boat kitty — the shared pot for food, fuel and moorings (usually €150-250 per person per week; I show a receipt-level breakdown at the end). Deposit — refundable; often it's smarter to buy full insurance (~€330 per yacht) and freeze nothing — I'll tell you which is better in your case.

Compare with a hotel

A decent five-star on the sea is €150-300 per person per day. A yacht cabin is from €157 a day — but every day you wake up in a new bay, with your own captain and no crowd at the pool.
