Breakaway sailing is a Bonded Member of the yacht
Charter Association, and a Member of the British Marine Industry Federation.
Our aim is to ensure that your charter holiday is trouble-free and enjoyable. with our
associates in Britain and europe, we work together to make sure that your reservation goes
smoothly and that your yacht is ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
We can arrange a skipper for you in any base. Local and
english-speaking, he or she will handle all the small details, and use local knowladge to
your advantage to select an itinerary, find the best berths and anchorages, and generally
to allow you to enjoy yourself free of any worries.
All the boats are registered and fitted out in accordance with the relevant
country regulations. In Britain, this means the Code of Practice for Small Commercal
Vessels, the stringent Code that has been in force since 1994.
We normally confirm the price and availbility of
the yacht you require with the local office, before making a firm commitment to you. This
can take a few hours, or overnight if the request is sent late in the day.
We do not offer flight booking direct, but always
help you and your party to find flights. We use one or more travel operators to do this.
Most clients prefer to shop aroud for flights,
using local companies, ceefax or the Internet. Your flights will either be by scheduled
flight, or by charter flight in which case the ticket price is bonded by the operator's
ATOL licence.
We hope that all goes well, and will do all we can to ensure that it does. If
you are unhappy with the charter and we fail to satisfy your complant, the YCA will step
in to arbitate if you or we request them to. This service is impartilly carried out; it is
in the interests of all member charter companies that a fair judgement is made.
