You may pay for this holiday in a number of instalments, depending on when you book and when we are able to advise you that we have secured the yacht for the holiday.
We will then make suggestions about your payment(s) of the balance.
To secure your berth you must complete the booking form and pay us a deposit or, if the departure date is near, the
full-balance. You can pay us by Cheque or Internet Bank transfer. Balance of berth fees will be due 4 weeks
before departure and the share of the Security/damage deposit.
Channel crossings are a special type of sailing experience: sometimes it can take in excess of 12 hours to reach
France. (this may test your susceptibility to "Mal-de-Mare"). We consider that this trip may not be suitable as a first
trip to Sea. We may ask you to share a double cabin.
