Is a short cruise of 2- 3 days, a weekend, better before venturing into a week's holiday on a boat?

If you want to get into the real rhythm of the yacht charter, we recommend taking at least a week of cruising, to have time to adapt to the life on board which is far from the one we all live on the ground and to enjoy all the benefits. The weekend on the motor yacht charter is also very interesting but it does not allow you to take off the 'toxins' of everyday life.

Can I use sunscreen?

Protection is necessary on the luxury motor yacht charter Greece, because it is continuously exposed to sunlight. Outside the spaces on the deck of a catamaran allow you to comfortably relax and sunbathe for 10 people while the large awning allows you to make wonderful siestas in the shade.

Carefully avoid the greasy and slippery suntan oil, and also the creams must be carefully placed, it is important to remember for safety, that a cream on the fiberglass means safe slipping. Therefore, until the cream has been absorbed, it is advisable to use a towel to lie down or sit.

I've never been on a sailboat and I can't do anything, can I sign up for catamarans rentals Greece?

Of course - To participate in a sailing cruise it is not necessary to have technical knowledge but only a lot of love for the sea and spirit of adaptation and desire to participate.
