Why us, not them

What you skip when you call us.

Finding a boat in a foreign port takes hours. Language barrier, unknown captains, no insurance proof, cash only. We removed all of that.

One number, every coast

Local captains need local contacts. We already have them. Text us from anywhere and get quoted for any port we cover. No apps, no marketplace, no bidding.

Your money is safe

Card payment, invoice in your currency, full refund if weather cancels. No cash to a stranger on a dock. No deposit you'll never see again.

Someone picks up at 11 PM

Flight delayed, plans changed, captain question at midnight. We answer. The captain you found on Google does not.

Coverage

Where we sail.

Live on the French Riviera. Active partnerships in the Gulf, Caribbean, Aegean. Expanding coast by coast through 2026. Your port not listed? Ask — we usually have someone.

FAQ

Common questions.

24 hours minimum is ideal. Same-day works on the Riviera and main hubs — call us, we'll tell you what's possible.

You pay us. We pay the captain. One invoice, one currency. Tip in cash to the captain, if you want.

We do our best to come back the same day. Under 24 hours, weekends included. Urgent? Tell us in the form.

Captain, fuel, safety equipment, port fees, basic refreshments. No service fees on top. Group rates from 8 passengers.

We tell you straight away. No hold, no waiting list. If we can't match you, you pay nothing.

We propose, you approve. Photo, vessel, ETA, languages spoken — sent before any payment.

Call us, not the captain. We're on duty during your trip and we sort it. That's what we charge for.

Captain decides on safety. If it's unsafe, we cancel — full refund within 24 hours, or credit if you'd rather rebook. We don't second-guess the captain.

Foreign port, foreign language, right boat, real insurance. Costs you hours, and you still don't know who you've hired. We do that work — every day, every coast.

Both. Yacht provisioning, luggage runs, urgent inter-island deliveries — same team, different form.
