Choosing the Boat
-
Open trip
Shared cabins on a fixed departure. The cheapest way to sail this route and a sociable one.
-
Private phinisi
Whole boat, your own schedule. Priced per night, so it scales with the size of your group.
-
Season
April to October for settled seas. This route depends on the water more than the trails do.
