The Bottom Line: What will it cost?
Our philosophy is very simple; our costs are as inclusive as we can sensibly make them. We figure most people would prefer to know ahead of time what the total vacation cost is; not have to worry about little additional surprises along the way!
On our Adventure Sailing trips, once you get on the boat, everything on board is covered. We provide provisions for breakfasts, lunches, soft drinks. On our share-boats, even the first evening’s Happy Hour drinks are on us ! The only thing we don’t include is dinners ashore. In Greece & Turkey, the local taverns are not to be missed – when there are little local places to eat ashore, same in the BVI’S we go join the local ambiance! We do however include one evening BBQ meal on board included in the price. This means a night on anchor in a quiet bay under the stars, we fire up the BBQ and grill up a feast of local culinary delights.
So unlike the more usual yacht charter deal – there’s no unexpected extras to catch you out halfway (“Oh, you didn’t realise how much this marina costs?” or “That’ll be another 300 euros for the fuel bill, thank you very much!” ).
With the more usual bareboat-plus-skipper arrangement, you’re up for everything else – fuel, water, mooring, insurance, local taxes, food, on board bar bills – even the skipper’s food and drink.
SeaScape’s philosophy is that nasty $$ surprises don’t do anything for a relaxing vacation – and we emphatically don’t work that way. We’d prefer you to eat, drink and be merry – without worrying how much extra it will cost!
