How chartering works

Three ways onto a boat

By the cabin

Join a scheduled departure and share the boat with other travellers. Cheapest way onto a liveaboard.

Whole boat

Take the entire vessel and set the route. Priced per week, split between your group.

Local day boats

Booked the day before at the harbour. No website, no deposit, no schedule.
