What is the difference between a fully crewed and a skippered charter?
With a skippered charter your skipper will often (if you wish so) be almost a part of your group: he will be happy to have you actively participate in sailing the yacht, and will welcome your help in simple manoeuvres such as mooring, going alongside the quay etc. He will be glad to share his local knowledge and sailing experience with you. Of course, if you wish him to keep his distance he will also be happy to be discreet. On a fully crewed yacht your relationship with the captain and the crew will be more distant and formal. Further, you will not be expected to participate in sailing the yacht in any way. Of course, the crew will be closely, albeit discreetly, attending to your needs and ensuring you have the perfect holiday.
