Hire a boat with or without a skipper?

Hiring a professional skipper on board allows you to sit back, relax, and fully enjoy your time on the water without worrying about navigation. Skippers have extensive knowledge of the local waters, ensuring a safe and smooth sailing experience. They can also provide valuable insights about the area, suggesting the best routes, hidden gems, and local attractions. Additionally, a skipper can take care of all the practical aspects, such as mooring, anchoring, and maintaining the boat, freeing you from any responsibilities. On the other hand, hiring a boat without a skipper offers a different set of advantages. It provides the freedom and flexibility to explore at your own pace, create your itinerary, and change plans spontaneously.
