Terms & Conditions

Safety & Comfort

Your safety is our top priority and you will be given a safety briefing before setting sail. Some tips:

1. Dress for the sea with warm (windproof) comfortable clothing and soft flat shoes. Bring one more layer that you think you will need. If it is below 14˚ on the land, bring gloves and a heavy weatherproof coat. Jabez is stocked with blankets just in case.
2. Sea sickness and boat motion. Jabez is a particularly stable boat for its size, but the boat will lean over if sailing up-wind and will move around in the water when there is a swell or passing through the wakes of other large boats. Please give this consideration and discuss any concerns with the skipper on arrival.
3. The Skipper is the boss. Please respect their instructions and also talk to them about any concerns or if you are feeling unwell.
4. Moving around on deck during passage can be wonderfully exhilarating. It can also be dangerous for 2 reasons. Firstly, there is a small risk of accidentally falling overboard. Secondly, there is a risk of slipping and hurting yourself on hard surfaces or moving parts. A sudden gust of wind can
   cause unexpected movement, so please hold on and be carefully. Don’t ruin your day.
5. Take special care when embarking and disembarking and when moving around the marina. There are often trip hazards.
6. Sun Screen is advised even when it is cloudy.
7. No smoking on board and please drink in moderation.

YOUR DAY

Please arrive in good time and plan for using one of the nearby car parks. If staying at a hotel, consider taking a taxi.

Bring an additional layer of warm clothing.

In warm weather, there may be the opportunity to swim or even use some of the Jabez water toys. We recommend a wetsuit as well as your swimming gear.

Food and Drinks – Unless arranged with the skipper, only snacks will be provided along with Hot and Cold (non-alcoholic drinks). You are welcome to bring you own food and drinks for consumption onboard.

The Skippers – All our skippers are highly qualified and experienced Yachts Masters. It is likely they will have sailed the Atlantic several times and encountered every imaginable condition.

‘Hands-on sailing’ – Always at the discretion of the Skipper, you can get involved at the helm and interact with the sailing, navigation and handling of the boat. Be part of the crew.
