    · October 15th, 2024
    First the positive. Olbia, Maddalena, and Bonifacio are beautiful. The waters are crystal clear. The sailing is amazing. The approach to Corsica is particularly stunning. The captain was extremely competent and we always felt safe. We only had 3 people plus the captain on the boat, which made the accommodations comfortable enough (8 people would have been way too many for me). On the not so positive side, the beaches were just ok and the snorkeling was unimpressive. We did not experience any walking trails nor much wild life. Breakfasts and lunches were all on the boat, as were 4 dinners. It was not our understanding that, literally, the captain’s only responsibility was to sail the boat. He didn’t help with paying for, preparing, or cleaning up after meals. With only the 3 passengers, this meant that on our vacation, we took care of him. We called him when lunch/dinner was ready and cleaned his dishes when we were all done. He didn’t seem particularly appreciative nor did he reciprocate in any way. He didn’t offer tips on walking trails or comment on wild life opportunities. He took the zodiac out once, on request. Basically, he dropped anchor and we were on our own. Overall, it was a beautiful trip but it didn’t totally live up to the expectations set by the itinerary.

    the quality of leader makes sailing a pleasure with Intrepid and this trip has lived up to expectations. Reece has that rare combination of qualities - skill as a captain and the ability to work well and thoughtfully with his “crew”. life on a boat is at close quarters and Reece made every effort to look after everyone whilst taking good care as a sailor. Thank you Reece.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2024

      Yes, diving masks, snorkels, and fins are provided on the yacht for all passengers.

    Erin

    Asked on June 30th, 2024

    How long is the yacht? How many cabins or berths does it have? How many showers/restroom?

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2024

      This trip is accommodated entirely on board a yacht of between 48ft to 52ft. A typical yacht for 8 travellers is equipped with 4 double share cabins, 2/3 shared bathrooms and 2 showers. Our boats are real yachts and this is a real sailing trip. Yachts are designed to keep sleeping areas to the absolute minimum of space, while maximising common areas as much as possible. Rooms are allocated on arrival by our skipper according to group composition, which means it is not possible to reserve or guarantee any specific berth or cabin. Single passengers will be paired up with another passenger of the same gender, this will mean sharing a double cabin with a double mattress. Everyone including the skipper shares the bathrooms on board. While not everyone may feel entirely comfortable living in such close quarters, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort from cramped living conditions is more than made up for by the whole experience.

  • E

    Erika

    Asked on June 2nd, 2024

    What facilities are available on the yacht?

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      The yacht is equipped with shared cabins and bathrooms, with communal spaces designed to maximize interaction and enjoyment.

    Charles

    Asked on April 17th, 2024

    I'm wondering about meals. The page says no included meals. So no breakfast? How is that handled?

    Meals
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2024

      On this trip it's compulsory to contribute to a kitty of EUR100 per person. The kitty is an on-ground payment put into a central fund managed by travellers. It helps fund for breakfast and lunch on the boat and other small items such as ice, water, snacks and drinks. Travellers are responsible for the preparation of these meals onboard and to shop at port where supermarkets are often very close to the mooring.

    • C

      Charles

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      Does the boat provide the snorkeling gear?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2024

      Diving masks, snorkels and fins are provided onboard the yacht and are for use by all passengers. Some passengers choose to bring their own, however this is a personal choice.

    • C

      Charles

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      So to clarify, restaurants will be available for all our dinners and we prepare our own breakfasts and lunches from food bought with the kitty money?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2024

      For most dinners and some lunches you will moored in a port or marina, the group will have a choice of on-land eating options available.
