McVeanSail

Freelance Sail Boat Skipper

Sailing has been a huge part of my life, from racing the mono’s, to coaching dinghy sailors, and hanging off the side of Hobie cats.

Now it’s time to cruise the islands in search of secluded bays, and deserted beaches.

Those warm turquoise waters are calling me, let me show you………

My Commitment

Discretion and privacy too is very important to people on vacation. 
When on board its up to you as to how much interaction we have together when we are docked or riding at anchor.
I can be discrete allowing you to enjoy your private times.
I can help you find the right place to take your vacation.
I can help you choose the right boat.
I work very closely with the charter companies and you to help you decide on and book the right time for your vacation.
I will help you find the flights, the airport, and a place to stay the night before and the night after the cruise, and we will pick you up from the airport and drop you back again at the end of the trip, if that is what you would like.
If you want to stay longer after the cruise then I can help with excursions and recommendations of attractions to visit, and the best restaurants to indulge in.
Let me do all the hard work, so that you don’t have too.

My Mission.

At McVeanSail we try to take the confusion out of sailboat charter and help you decide on the right boat, destination, and the time of year.

For those of you who have always dreamed of one day taking a lovely big comfortable catamaran and floating around finding private untouched beaches and bays, or if you fancy time at 45 degrees on a mono flying along with the wind in your face and the waves crashing the boat, but you don’t have the licence or the experience, then allow me to give you those experiances..

I will skipper the boat and take the responsibility so that you can enjoy a sailboat charter without the stress of getting qualified.

If you are recently qualified and would like someone to watch over on your first charter with your preciouses’ loved ones, just to be there in the background to coach and guide you.

Putting passage plans together and using your pilotage skills too. It can be daunting the first time when your instructor is no longer present.

And if a passenger does decide to take an early swim, having someone there the first time can be a huge confidence booster too, as you turn to pick them up.

As your skipper, I can be full on, hands on or I can sit back and just watch over you, coach and advise, as you take control.

I can show you how I would do it, but I cannot give you a qualification.
