Boat Bookings

GUNNER SAILING

Welcome to Our Boat Bookings Page

We have two high-quality offshore yachts that our members can book from just £80 a day.  If you are looking to make a booking, please read the information on this page, which includes details of important boat booking terms and conditions.

When you are ready to make a booking, you will be redirected to a portal called Sailing Club Manager. You will be able to see boat availability and to make bookings (but only if you are a member with the correct sailing qualifications). 

If you have chartered our boats before, please provide feedback via a short online survey. It takes no more than 3 minutes to complete and will help us make ongoing improvements to our boats.

If you have questions, please contact our Boat Booking Secretary.

Boat Booking Rules

Before making any advanced boat bookings, members need to read the full boat booking terms and conditions, with particular regard to three important points:

Members / skippers need to fully understand and accept the latest Boat Bookings Terms and Conditions

This includes an acceptance of a liability for booking cancellations (para 9) and a significant increase in the skipper’s damage liability (see para 18-19).

Members / skippers need to fully understand the skipper and crew qualifications that are required for different passage plans and different weather conditions. Full details are outlined in para 20 of the Terms and Conditions.

The skipper / booking member will be FULLY LIABLE for any damage or loss incurred if the boat is being used outside the scope of these rules.

Members are reminded that they cannot make more than two advanced summer bookings (1st April – 30th September) for a maximum of 2 weekends, or no more than 14 days in total (see Terms para 6 for more details).
