Exclusive Sailing Adventure: just your own private group or family and a skipper. This is a great way to discover sailing and experience coastal cruising. The vessel available for Exclusive Adventures is a Dufour 38 Classic.
The trip is customized to your family or group needs. Unless you are a family group, up to 4 persons is a good number for the boat, as there will also be a Skipper/Instructor accompanying you.
The emphasis will be on giving all participants a “hands-on” sailing experience. Everyone can learn at their own pace and feel confident and safe on the water. No prior boating experience is required. You will be guided by a certified instructor.
Even for those with previous experience, a skipper-assisted cruise will be valuable for learning new things and getting more practice on the water. Overnight cruises go for a minimum of four days.

Advantages of an Exclusive Sailing Adventure versus a bareboat rental (one without a hired skipper): an experienced skipper who is also a certified instructor is completely familiar with the inner working of the vessel can save you time getting acquainted with the boat and in handling the little “emergencies” that can occur while cruising. The skipper can also guide you to the best anchorages and local winds, answer many of your questions about sailing, wildlife, vegetation and local history, or even reveal where whales might be found. But most important, your skipper will reduce your stress level so you can relax and enjoy the cruise knowing that you will not be charged extra for insurance and you will not be held responsible for any damage incurred while on the cruise.

Cruising is all about good food, great company, pleasant surroundings and time to enjoy it all. The Dufour 38 has three private cabins and a possibility of five separate berths so everyone is assured of having their own private berth. This vessel also features a fully-equipped galley and large comfortable saloon. There is a dodger and a bimini to shelter you from the sun or rain.
Everyone is encouraged to participate in sailing as much or little as they like but everyone will share the cooking and clean-up duties.
