Two ways to go

Most trips on this coast come both ways: a seat on a shared boat, or the whole boat for your group. Here are the operators' own prices, side by side.

One request. We ask the people who run it.

How a request works

  1. Tell us the day

    Dates, how many of you, private or shared, and a budget band if you like. Two minutes.

  2. We ask the operators

    We pass it to the local skipper, club or chef who runs that day, and come back with what is free and what it costs.

  3. You confirm with them

    You book and pay the operator directly. Asking us costs nothing.

Questions people ask

Do I pay you or the operator?

The operator. Asking is free. When a date and price work for you, you confirm and pay the operator who runs the day, whether that is a yacht skipper, a golf club or a chef.

What does “private” mean here?

The boat, the guide or the table is yours alone: no other guests, your timing, usually your route. On boats the price is for the whole boat, so it is shared across your group however many of you go, up to the boat’s limit.

Are the prices on this site current?

They are the “from” prices each operator published on its own website when we checked (October 2026), read twice. Prices move with the season and the boat, so the reply to your request carries the price for your date.

Can you plan several days at once?

Yes. Send one request with your dates, the group and a budget band, and say what matters (a boat day, a round of golf, a dinner at the villa). We come back with options from the operators who run each part.

Planning a few days on the coast?

Tell us the dates and the group. Private yachts start from €399 per boat (October 2026); we ask the operators what is free.
