Food and diets
Our tapas boards always include a variety that works for every diet: vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and more. Tell us about allergies or intolerances when you book and we make sure there are options for you. On private trips, with a little notice, we can cater the whole menu to your diet.
Frequently asked questions
Can children come?
Shared trips are for ages 13 and up. On a private trip all ages are welcome, babies too: there is a big bed below deck where little ones can nap safely, and space to stow a pushchair.
Do we actually sail?
Absolutely, it's in our name. Our captain has 15 years at sea, and every crew member at least 6. We sail because we love it, so whenever there's wind, the sails go up. We even fitted a high-performance 3Di mainsail to get the most out of every breeze. Fancy a go at the helm? We're always happy to welcome an extra crew member.
Can I bring my own food or drinks?
On a private trip: of course, it's your boat for the day. On a shared trip, everything is already included, so there's no need. Your own snacks and canned drinks are welcome. Bringing something special, like a birthday cake? Bring it ready to serve and to share with the group. Please leave big bottles at home.
What if I get seasick?
Most of our guests never feel a thing. We stay inside the Bay of Palma, which is sheltered and usually calm. If you're sensitive to motion:
- if you're very sensitive, our morning half day is often the calmest
- eat something light beforehand
- take your usual travel-sickness remedy about an hour before you board (we're not allowed to give medication on board)
- sit in the middle of the boat with your eyes on the horizon
Not sure about your day? Message us, and we'll tell you honestly how the sea looks.
Is there shade? Will it get cold?
There's a large shaded area at the back of the boat with plenty of seating. Summer evenings stay warm. In April, May and October, bring a light jacket for the sail back.
What if I'm running late?
We understand that unplanned delays can happen. That's why we always recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes early. If for some reason you can't make it at the meeting time, we always wait for you for 10 minutes. After that we set sail, out of respect for the other guests.
On private trips, your yacht waits for you for up to 1 hour 30 minutes. Your trip ends at the scheduled time, as we usually have other guests sailing after you, so the earlier you arrive, the more time you get to enjoy on the water.
Is it safe? Who is the crew?
You're in very experienced hands. Bryce and Karin have more than 20 years of sailing between them and have each crossed the Atlantic twice, once on this very yacht. Every trip starts with a short safety briefing. Read more about us in Our Story.
We are more than 10. Can we come?
Our yacht takes up to 10 guests. For bigger groups we work with partner boats, and we also organise corporate events. Message us with what you have in mind and we arrange the best option for you.
I'm not a strong swimmer. Can I still enjoy it?
Of course. The evening is much more than swimming: sailing, tapas, cava and the sunset. The swim (weather permitting) is in the open bay with snorkel gear and floats for everyone, or simply enjoy it from the deck or the swim ladder.
Which languages do you speak?
We speak English and Spanish fluently. Safety briefings are also available in French and German.
Can I get on board easily?
Yes. We board with a gangway, and with a little help from the crew, guests with limited mobility come aboard comfortably. Just let us know when you book.
What's on board? Is there a toilet?
Toilet, a changing room, charging points, and plenty of dry space for your phone and bags.
