I want to go swimming with my wife, but I don’t feel capable of handling the yacht myself.
With most yachts it is possible to charter without a license, but of course, people who have not sailed for a long time or do not feel the capability to operate a yacht themselves can use a skipper’s help. We know several recommendable competent skippers, so please report such a need in advance and we will definitely recommend someone.
I will be on Masurian lakes for the first time. How do I know where to go?
On each yacht there is a map of the entire trail of the Great Masurian Lakes. On some yachts, there is also an electronic map. Trails on the lakes marked with green and red buoys are an additional convenience. Sailing between them you will reach next ports. Of course, if you express such a desire, our skipper will discuss the map, recommend interesting places to visit and draw attention to the dangers or potential threats present on the lake.
Can one use the “one way” option?
The “one way” option, i.e. starting from a different port, and ending the cruise in another is possible with us, but not always and not for every yacht. Such a need should be expressed much earlier, the price is also set individually.
What costs do I have to consider while sailing?
In addition to the fee for the yacht charter, account should be taken of the cost of mooring in ports, fuel and the cost of emptying the waste tank.
Is there a fee for cleaning the yacht?
Yes, an additional fee is charged for cleaning the yacht, you can find the amount in the yacht price list on each page.

I can’t imagine a vacation without my dog. Can I take it to the yacht?
Yes. We have nothing against animals on the yacht. However, it is good to check first how your dog reacts to water, for many animals it is a stressful experience. It is necessary to provide it with a life jacket. You will also need to return the yacht earlier due to cleaning, which takes much longer.

approx. 200 m from the port there is a guarded car park at a price of 15 PLN /day.
