Q: Can I get involved in the sailing, or is it more like a cruise?

Entirely up to you — help raise the sails, anchor, moor, or navigate to the next bay and ask the skipper as many questions as you like, or simply relax on deck with a cocktail and watch the sunset. No sailing experience is required.

Q: Do you observe Shabbat the same way a kosher cruise does?

We don't sail on Shabbat — the boat moors in a marina or town quay beforehand, with a shabbat-friendly hot plate and urn on a timer switch. A kosher cruise observes Shabbat at a much larger scale, often with a dedicated program and minyan; on a private catamaran, it's quieter and just your own group and crew.

Q: We are a group of more than 8 - 10 people. Can we join?

Of course! We'd be delighted and will fill up multiple catamarans to make up a flotilla. Come along with a larger group of friends or family but keep in mind that we need to fill the rooms for it to work so 14 to 16 people (7 to 8 cabins) would be a perfect number!

Q: How fast can a catamaran sail?

When there is no wind, or the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, we will be using the engines and usually travel at around 5 to 7 knots. When we are under sail, we are typically at anything between 4 and 10 knots depending on the conditions. 1 knot = 1.85 km/hour or 1.15 miles/hour

Q: Will there be internet on board?

Most of the time, we are in range of a cellphone tower and will have great internet but sometimes the reception will be a little weaker so plan on staying in touch with home and news but don't plan on zoom meetings or netflix!
