We curate awe-inspiring, boutique expeditions in the world's most scenic oceans. But how exactly does it work?

<h2 class="text-xxxl underline-title" style="margin-bottom: 30px;"><span>Intimate, immersive & inspiring</span></h2>
<p>Yachts and Friends is a boutique sailing experience focused on small luxury flotillas, handpicked destinations, curated local adventures and culinary delights. With years of knowledge under our belts we've crafted the perfect experience so you don't have to worry about a thing.</p>

Join like-minded travellers on your adventures. Our bookings are flexible, so you can book anything from a single bed in a cabin for one, to several cabins on a yacht for you and a few friends, or why not bring the whole gang and book a full yacht...

Group sailing

A taste of the good life. Charter your very own yacht and sail the seas with family, friends or even on business. Just choose a destination, yacht and date. All yachts come with a professional skipper, who’ll show you the ropes for your week at sea.

Choose from a list of handpicked destinations, each with their own unique itinerary. During the European summer, you’ve got two options in the Mediterranean – both packed with history, culture and hidden gems. In Spring, we head to French Polynesia where you’ll find endless sunshine in what is a truly tropical oasis.

For an authentic sailing experience, choose one of our luxury monohulls. 

Monohull Package

Our luxury catamarans come with outdoor sunbathing nets, and large living spaces for enjoying those sunset cocktails. 

Catamaran Package

Our itineraries are 7 days long. Check-in is always on Saturdays at 3pm, sailing back into base marina 6 days later on a Friday evening – or early Saturday morning – for check-out at 9am. We recommend arriving at your base marina at around 3pm on the Saturday. This way you’ll have plenty of time to meet your skipper and chef, who will get you settled in.

Our skippers are experts. Each holds an internationally recognised Skipper’s license and have undergone extensive training at sea. They are highly skilled and experienced professionals, so you can forget about the heavy lifting and concentrate on living your best yacht life.

If you do want to learn a little more about sailing, our Skippers will be happy to show you the ropes.

Skipper

While you’re out relaxing on gentle waters, your very own chef will be busy cooking up a storm below deck. They’ll get creative with the freshest local cuisine and will be your go-to guy or gal for the lowdown on the best local eateries too. Not only is your chef there to guide you through all the amazing experiences in your itinerary, but they're also your new best buddy who knows where all the best local spots are.
