With space being at a premium, our sailboat is configured with 2 double cabins and 2 twin (bunk beds) cabins. These all have en suite heads (= toilet/shower), which we happily share as a matter of practicality. Cabin arrangements are usually made based on gender and age, our experience is that the ‘who sleeps where’ game sorts itself out naturally. And then it’s also the case that people love to sleep on deck during the entire trip.
Shareboat prices are based on 2 people sharing a double cabin; single occupancy is sometimes available at 1.5 times the regular price.
If you are chartering the boat with your own group – it’s totally up to you how you sort out cabin arrangements!
