Sunsail Bareboat And Yacht Charter Fleet

The Sunsail-Stardust combined fleet of over 1200 monohulls and catamarans offers the widest choice for a sailing vacation in the world today.

Unlike most other charter companies who merely act as agents between the charterer and the agent with no control over standards, Sunsail alone operates and maintains their fleet. The fleet is annually inspected by senior members of their experienced management and technical team. Our ongoing standards of maintenance and attention to detail, shown by the carefully selected crew are second to none.
