Getting Afloat

We have various options to suit your budget and sailing requirements.

Sail with other members, share their bareboat charters

Buy points to sail on club organised events. These are great if you do not have the experience or confidence to take a yacht unsupervised. We organise regular events where members can get aboard on a berth basis. Points cost varies with each trip. See events page for details.

Bareboat Charter.

The table below shows the number of points required to bareboat charter any yacht on any particular day. To calculate the points required for any one day first find out which band the yacht is in. Find the the season and which day of week. Read down the relevant band, this will be the points cost for that day. For charter longer than one day, work out the points for each day and add them together.

The cost of points varies with the number purchased. This system is designed to give discount to those who sail with us more frequently
