Keep narrowing

Read next: charter types for who is legally in charge, costs and hidden extras for the total, corporate, racing and team-building charters for group work afloat, families, couples and groups for berth arithmetic, and skippered and crewed charters for what the crew does.

Ask these before you pay
  • What supervision ratio do you run, and are crew working-with-children checked?
  • Can you supply a risk assessment and certificate of currency for the school?
  • What happens if a student becomes seasick or distressed?
  • Is the programme structured, and does it award anything?
  • What is the wet-weather and cancellation position for a school term booking?
