Luxury Skippered Catamaran and Motor Yacht Sailing Charters
We have been sailing these waters for 15 years since 2008 first as Sailandstay and now as Sailnplay. On our luxury catamaran Optimist of London II and our luxury motor yacht Charlie Ruggle we operate all-inclusive half-day cruises with a delicious meal, all drinks and watersports included. .
We can accommodate individuals, couples, families, small groups or large parties on several yachts in a sailing flotilla with the option of terrific food and a free bar, perfect for your special event. Just call or email us with your requirements.
Due to Covid 19 we have lowered the PRIVATE CHARTER minimum number on our yachts to just SIX guests.
All our boat charter options include fully qualified crew, fuel, food, drink, sea toys and all applicable taxes and booking fees. There are no additional extras, what you see is what you pay.
We really look forward to welcoming back our old guests and meeting many new ones!
