Before you go

  1. Sailing licence

    An ICC or national licence for the skipper of your group.

  2. VHF radio certificate

    Most bases ask for one; some accept a second crew member holding it.

  3. Saturday briefing

    Check-in Saturday afternoon, a boat and area briefing before you leave.

  4. Security deposit

    Blocked on your card when you check in, and released once you check out.

No licence? Book skippered: we add the skipper, you keep the boat. Skippered
