How it works — from your dates to the dock, in four steps

No forms, no call centres, no online payment. You send dates on WhatsApp, we match you with real boats from selected partner fleets, and the contract is directly with the fleet at direct prices. Our assistance is free for guests.

Booking a charter should feel like asking a knowledgeable friend who happens to live on the dock. That's exactly the service: four steps, all on WhatsApp, with us physically present where it matters.

The four steps

  • 1. Send your dates. WhatsApp us dates, group size, sailing experience and boat preference. Flexible dates? Say so — we'll show you where the price drops.
  • 2. Get real boats in 24h. We check availability across the partner fleets in Vlorë, Saranda and Durrës and send 2–4 concrete options: photos, specs, exact berth, itemised indicative prices.
  • 3. Confirm directly with the fleet. You pick the boat; the fleet issues the contract at their direct price. Deposit confirms the week; balance follows the contract terms. No money passes through us online.
  • 4. Board with us on the dock. Check-in day: we're at the marina for the handover, technical briefing, route talk and provisioning tips. All week, one message reaches us — weather, bays, issues escalated to the fleet immediately. At check-out we assist the hand-back and deposit release.

Why it's free for you

The fleets compensate us for bringing them booked weeks — your price is the fleet's direct price, without mark-up. Independence is the point: we don't own boats, so our only incentive is matching you with the right one. If the right boat for your dates is in a different partner fleet than last time, that's the one you'll see.

What to have ready when you message

Dates (or a window), headcount and cabin needs, sailing licence photo if you plan bareboat, skipper preference, and any must-sees (Karaburun, Ksamil, Corfu). With that, your first reply already contains boats — not questions. Typical lead times: July–August 3–6 months out; shoulder season a few weeks is usually enough.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay you anything for the assistance?

No — free for guests, always. The fleets compensate us for booked weeks; your price is the fleet's direct price. Deposit and balance go to the fleet under their contract, never to us online.

How fast do I get real options?

Within 24 hours of your WhatsApp message: 2–4 concrete boats with availability, photos, specs and itemised indicative prices. The final quote from the fleet follows your dates.

Who is my contract with?

Directly with the fleet that owns the boat — at their direct price, under their standard charter terms. We remain your local support before, during and after the week, at no cost to you.

What if something goes wrong during the charter?

Message us: we're based here and escalate technical issues to the fleet's support immediately, coordinate help along the coast, and assist with check-out and deposit release at the end. Being local is the entire point.
