Services
Weekend Skipper offers a wide range of solutions for private clients and companies. We handle everything from ferrying and chartering to organizing vacations, team building events, and handling yacht purchase transactions.
Yacht Charter
A personalized sailing experience tailored to your plans and preferences.
Chartering a yacht offers complete freedom — with full control over route, pace, and style of travel. Suitable for a family vacation, a romantic escape, or an adventure with friends, this format provides flexibility and comfort. All arrangements are organized in advance, ensuring a seamless experience on the water with privacy, comfort, and unforgettable views.
Boat Delivering
A reliable and professional delivering of your vessel to any destination.
The process encompasses detailed route planning, navigational preparation, technical inspections, and coordination of all operational stages along the journey. Each delivering is executed with close attention to safety, timing, and the overall condition of the vessel. A structured approach ensures dependable delivery and complete confidence in the final result.
Corporate Regatta
A dynamic format for team building and corporate recreation.
A regatta brings participants together through shared challenge, coordination, and competitive spirit. The entire process — from yacht selection and route planning to race management and final awards — is organized as a seamless event. More than a competition, it creates a memorable maritime experience that strengthens teamwork and inspires new achievements.
Friendly Sailing Flotilla
An informal trip in the company of friends and like-minded people.
Several yachts travel together along a scenic route, visiting picturesque bays, coastal towns, and sheltered marinas. The format focuses on easy communication, shared moments, and the joy of being at sea without tight schedules or formalities. Ideal for groups of friends, like-minded travelers, and anyone seeking a laid-back maritime adventure.
Fishing
An enjoyable marine outing blending discovery with the excitement of fishing.
The trip takes place along productive coastal areas or deeper offshore waters, depending on season and conditions. All necessary equipment and preparations are arranged in advance, creating an effortless and an enjoyable outing. Ideal for newcomers and experienced anglers alike, offering time in nature and the excitement of reeling in a successful catch.
Yacht Event Organization
A refined format for hosting memorable celebrations on the water.
Events are arranged on board selected yachts, tailored to the occasion — from private parties and anniversaries to corporate meetings and networking sessions. Every detail, including logistics, décor, entertainment, and onboard service, is coordinated to create a seamless atmosphere. The result is a distinctive experience enhanced by open sea views.
Customer reviews
We’ve been working together for several years now. The agency’s skipper, who assists us on our trips, does a great job, completing all tasks thoroughly and efficiently. We enjoy diving in remote locations, and our boat is equipped with a compressor for refilling gas tanks. The skipper, a skilled navigator, helps us with catamaran delivering to the dive sites and prepares us for the dive by refilling compressed air tanks, accompanying us on a motorboat, monitoring the dive perimeter, and helping us prepare our gear. These guys know their stuff, and we’re happy to collaborate.
The agency has been providing skippering services for our corporate regatta for three years now, and we are very pleased with the results. Our clients enjoy the annual trips and have developed strong friendships with the skipper and agency representatives; we are now a team. In three years of organizing events organized by the agency, there has not been a single injury or incident among the team. Safety and care for the team are our top priorities. This work by the agency yields positive results and allows us to make joint plans for the future.
In March of this year, my boat, a Dufour 44, was completed at the Dufour shipyard. On the advice of my friends, experienced transatlantic sailors, the Weekend Skipper agency was hired to handle the acceptance and delivering of the boat. They took charge, and upon arrival in La Rochelle, they helped with the acceptance and outfitting of the boat for the 3,000-nautical-mile delivering. On March 31st, we left La Rochelle and crossed the Bay of Biscay, heading towards Porto. Spring storms were constantly looming over us, and due to the weather, we made long delivering of 5-7 days, calling in port only to replenish provisions and fuel. During the delivering, my wife, children, and friends joined us for a few days of calm weather. During this 25-day crossing, we navigated challenging weather conditions with strong winds and high waves, moving and maintaining watch day and night. The guys from Weekend Skipper handled all nighttime watches, communications with shore services and passing vessels, overseeing the work on the boat along the way, route planning, sail adjustments, and moorings in bad weather and at night. They worked hard from start to finish, and the boat arrived at our home marina without damage and on schedule. The agency did a great job at a high professional level. If you need a reliable partner for a 24-hour crossing in busy waters and challenging weather conditions, I recommend you contact Weekend Skipper.
This year, for the first time, three couples of friends and I decided to get together and take a short island hopping trip around Krk, Croatia. We contacted Weekend Skipper and were pleasantly surprised by the service. Nikolay helped us rent a boat, develop a detailed itinerary, picked up the boat from the charter company, and prepared it for the trip. The destinations were perfectly chosen based on the weather, and we had favorable winds the entire time. The trip was comfortable and unforgettable, with beautiful bays, authentic villages, warm water, and lots of sunshine. A week-long sailing trip is now on our calendar. Thank you very much, Weekend Skipper, for all your hard work, and we look forward to seeing you again.
In July 2024, the charter company I worked for tasked me with ferrying a Prestige 48 motor catamaran from Les Sables-d’Olonne, home to the Prestige shipyard, to Rogoznica, my home marina. I planned the route, taking into account the necessary fueling and engine maintenance. I invited Nikolai from Weekend Skipper to be my first mate. I know him as a reliable captain, having worked together before. The voyage was uneventful and on time. Nikolay from Weekend Skipper demonstrated excellent performance, maintaining night watches and carrying out the necessary work to complete the route. I see Weekend Skipper developing successfully, wish them success, and recommend them to everyone.
