Vital Spark Sailing

Costs and How to Book

How Much Will it Cost?

The cost of sailing on Vital Spark is shared amongst everyone on board.  They include food, drink, fuel (diesel and Gaz) and marina charges, and generally work out at about £25 - £30 per person per day.  The figure excludes the cost of meals ashore.  The amount of motor sailing significantly affects this figure as does the number of nights spent in marinas. We also make a charge of £10 per person a day towards the cost of maintaining the boat.

The cost and organisation of travel to and from the port of embarkation and disembarkation is the responsibility of the crew member.  This could add £100 - £150 to the cost of a holiday for flights in high summer to somewhere like La Rochelle.

A weekend on the Solent would generally cost about £80 including a restaurant meal on Friday night and a one-week cruise from La Rochelle would cost about £450 including flights and two meals ashore.
