FAQS
RED SEA
What happens when you get to the boat?
Check in is from 5pm until 10pm on the Monday. Arrive early, leave your bags on the boat and feel free to explore Eilat, the main town. Don’t worry if your flight is delayed or you arrive late as we spend the first evening in dock, enjoying welcome cocktails, followed by dinner on board and a chance to get to know your crew and fellow passengers. One thing’s for sure we won’t leave without you, but if you’re going to be really late (after 10pm), we ask that you make your own accommodation arrangements for that night so as not to disturb your fellow passengers.
How do you check-in?
With ease. Upon arrival, simply fill out the check-in forms.
What should you bring?
The weather is warm throughout the year in the Red Sea so you don’t need too many clothes. You should bring a warm jacket as evenings can be quite cool in winter; otherwise shorts, t-shirts and bathing costumes are the order of the day. Shoes are optional in most places. Most restaurants require only casual dress. Finally, we recommend that you bring soft luggage.
Are linen and towels supplied?
Yes, we supply a bath towel, a beach towel and a hand towel and they are changed mid-week.
Can you use electrical appliances on board (chargers, shavers, hair dryers, etc.)?
Yes, there is a generator on board that supplies 220v/50hz A/C current (European household voltage). All plugs are the European two-pin standard variety.
What if you have special dietary requirements?
Make sure you fill in the special preferences form when you are booking and we’ll do everything we can to meet your needs.
Where can you go shopping?
There’ll be opportunities to shop in Eilat, in Taba Heights and in Aqaba.
Will seasickness be an issue?
Seasickness is not an issue in the Red Sea’s calm waters. In the unlikely event of seasickness, we have a stock of anti-seasickness pills on board. If you are prone to seasickness, bring patches or pills that you can take prior to boarding.
Is smoking permitted on board?
Yes, there is a designated smoking area on deck at the back of the boat.
Can we bring our children with us?
When you charter the whole yacht, you may bring children under the age of 16 (the minimum age in a cabin charter).
What equipment is on board?
Mask, snorkel and fins are supplied. Scuba diving is available for qualified divers (don’t forget your certification card). Dive gear is supplied. Wetsuits, if desired, can be rented from the dive shop but the water is pretty warm. With all of these items, you may bring your own if you prefer.
What happens during the week?
We leave the marina on the Tuesday morning after breakfast (see sample itinerary supplied). Most days will involve a morning and afternoon sail with a lunch stop in-between. There will be plenty of opportunity for snorkelling, diving, kayaking, water-skiing, sunbathing and other activities throughout the day. Each night we anchor in port. On the Sunday night we return to the Eilat marina in time for dinner ashore at one of the many restaurants. Check out is 9am on Monday morning. The crew will arrange taxis to the airport as required.
