I don't know squat about sailing, but it sure seems like it would be very rolly there.. And the food situation seems odd to me. They provide breakfast, and then people can cook together?? Not sure how well that would work, unless several people booked together.

I get the idea this is brand new, so things are subject to change. Anyone else think it's odd that they require clothing inside the vessel? For sure, sit on a towel, but to require clothing? Odd..

On-board dress code The on-board dress code complies with Club Orient rules. Clothing is optional on deck. Inside the catamaran, clothing or swimwear should be worn. Please read the participation conditions for more information. Seen this a few times on various Facebook posts, no way does this comply with Club O rules, also the "Tender" to shore stops after dark, no way to have dinner in the village

I am NOT a 'boat' person, so I don't know. Would it be SAFE to tender to shore after dark??

I still don't find that on the website! What does the Salon is occupied? That would be the place to hang out? It's located about half way down the site page on the right hand side under DRESS CODE

I thought that meant that even though the salon can convert to a sleeping place it will not be used as such I am wondering if the crew are using the salon as a cabin? I like the concept but if you are going to fill the niche do it right and offer a full on board experience.

Sorry, how does that relate to the question of where they sleep? Mate in sailor language doesn't mean "mate" in the husband and wife sense...

So, if we say 2500 euros is the average that's about $400 USD per night for seven nights. I assume that's a two person price, and not a per person charge. At first that may seem a little expensive, but given the rise in cruise ship prices these past few years that's really not that bad. They need to improve their website, and better address the many questions that will arise (like those on this forum). The website has a contact (you must click on link at top of page) which I think was Switzerland for questions.

Gotta read all the rules on the site to get the scope of the offering. A little too restrictive for my taste. You can drink but in moderation ( who decides what that is) and only on approval from the captain, I get it but thats a lot of money for a whole lot of rules. Like what has been said already looks like evening trips into the village or to the island nightlife is doubtful. Not for me but to each thier own. Cheers

Cheers You have to wonder if you need permission to drink onboard and at the captains pleasure, I would assume to control onboard behavior, would they not allow you back onboard if they felt you had had too much onshore ?

I didn't read all the rules, but that does seem bizarre to me, to restrict drinking. I don't know, never been on a crewed charter, but maybe that is a fairly common restriction? Just put there for the really out of control person? When they are renting by the cabin, you are pretty 'stuck' with your boat-mates.
