Where do you start?

The flotilla starts from various points in the world that you reach by flying from Israel and then going out to sea. For example: for a flotilla in the vicinity of Greece we fly to the island of Kos where, in the Marina, we receive the yachts that were specially booked for us and then set sail on our route. At the end of our voyage we return the yachts to the Marina and fly back to Israel.

Do you need prior experience?
Sections of the voyage along the coasts and islands are suitable for experienced sailors as well as for those with no experience on their first time at sea. Sailing a yacht is a matter of teamwork by all who are sailing in her. Thus you can combine family members and friends with no experience – and for them the voyage will always remain an exciting and memorable experience.

Who is responsible for sailing the yacht?
Sailing a boat is a matter for all sailing in her. Each crew sails its boat independently and navigates during the voyage according to the route agreed at the briefing held every morning. A training/technical team that provides professional assistance and instills a sense of security accompanies each flotilla. For crews without marine experience, a professional skipper can be appointed at an extra charge.

How many persons can sail in each yacht and how are they organized?
The number of persons sailing in each boat depends on the size of the yachts. It is recommended to be organized before starting the voyage (a family or group of friends) and to fill a boat completely. Of course, it is possible to join as individuals, as a couple or as a family, and we will help to make up a full crew.

What is a typical daily schedule in the flotilla?
An example of a typical daily schedule: Morning briefing before setting sail and purchasing items or making other necessary arrangements, setting sail and making a voyage of a number of hours on the route around exciting islands and coasts, mooring for a short time near a small village or in a wild-looking bay for swimming / resting / eating / or taking a stroll to visit local attractions. Continue the voyage in other areas and towards evening arrive at the planned anchorage for the night (sleeping on the yachts of course). Also take a stroll in the area, visit various sites and buy necessities in the local market. Have a meal in a restaurant with local entertainment or prepare an evening meal on the yacht.

What should you bring with you for the voyage?
It is recommended to pack a Chimidan (not a stiff suitcase) – short and long clothes, wind cheater, swimming shorts, towel, broad brimmed hat, yachting shoes and shoes for changing, quilt-cover and thin blanket. It is desirable to pack personal medicines since you will not always find them abroad. In addition it is worth bringing seasick tablets, painkillers, etc., anti-mosquito material and, most important, protective cream with sunray filter. Party games, books …. a good mood ….. patience ….. appetite. Travel and baggage insurance. There is no need to pack food items since you can buy them in the areas where you sail.

On which days of the week do the voyages start and finish?
Most of the voyages start on Friday/Saturday and also finish on Friday/Saturday. The flights to the destination and back are arranged accordingly to minimize the waiting time before setting sail.

Are there incidental expenses other than renting the yacht?
Mooring fees at anchorages (if requested) and in marinas, filling with water, fuel and food, personal insurance and insuring the boat are the responsibility of each boat and its voyagers.
