Choosing your trip
Book a flotilla week if you want a planned route, a skipper and new people. Book a cabin if you travel alone or as a pair, and the whole boat if you're bringing your own group.
Flotilla week or private yacht charter?
A flotilla week sails with other guests on a shared route. A private charter is your own boat, your own route and your own crew. Choose a flotilla week if you want a set route, a skipper, new people and a simple price. Choose a private charter if you already have a full crew and want to pick every stop yourself.

A cabin or the whole boat?
A cabin is the simplest way to join a week: you share the boat with other guests. Booking the whole boat costs more in total, but your group sails on its own boat and the price is shared among you.
- A cabin for yourself: a private cabin for one.
- A cabin with a friend: the whole cabin for two.
- The whole boat: every cabin for your own group, up to the boat's capacity.
Each cruise page shows the prices for the week you pick.

| A pair of friends or a couple | A cabin together |
| A group of friends | The whole boat, or several cabins |
| A large group or a company | A big-group week (see Big groups) |
