Who this gift is for
Someone who already sails and wants more time at sea.
They're working towards Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster and are short of miles or night hours.

They dream of an ocean crossing and want to try life on watch first.
Most mile-building passages ask for some sailing experience, usually Competent Crew or similar. Each trip shows the experience it needs.

Valid for 12 months from the day it's delivered. Schedule it up to 12 months ahead and the 12 months start on that day.
The voucher is for the price shown above, the typical price of a passage of around 1,000 miles. It's priced in pounds and converted to your currency at today's exchange rate.
It can be used on any mile-building passage with our providers, or on any other trip on SailTies.
If their passage costs more, they pay the difference when they book. If it costs less, the rest stays on the voucher for another trip.
Passages are run by independent skippers and sailing schools, and each booking follows their terms and availability.
Unused vouchers can be refunded within 14 days of purchase. Vouchers can't be exchanged for cash.
