Life on board
Our sailing holidays on board Chronos are ones of luxury, style and comfort while exploring sunshine destinations and unforgettable locations. A purpose built charter vessel, Chronos was designed with the elegant sailing lines of a traditional classic boat but has been paired with all the comforts and luxuries of a modern yacht.
Authentic Sailing Fun
Sailing with Chronos is certainly one of comfort and relaxation. Think of a boutique, intimate, classic sailing experience where nothing is too much trouble. Her dedicated and professional crew is highly trained and well-versed in smooth sailing operations.
She has an impressive sail area, and her rig is electronically operated with retractable sails, so there is no need to “learn the ropes” here! That being said, there are still traditional pin and tails if guests want to taste authentic sailing. Her crew are always on hand and happy to discuss the sailing operations with guests.
Although there is less focus on the “hands-on” sailing of Chronos, the Captain and crew offer interesting sailing talks and information briefs for guests during the voyage. Learn about the history of the boat and its sailing terms and even take a tour of the engine room if you fancy! Understanding these elegant classic vessels and feeling their power with the wind is truly an unforgettable experience.
Sleeping and Relaxation
All the areas on Chronos are meticulously considered, with guest comfort being the top priority in the design. The boat boasts an abundance of luxurious features, including spacious saloons, private ensuite cabins adorned with tropical wood, and sweeping decks with ample sun lounging areas.
The spacious cabins have ample luggage storage, full-size domestic showers, and air conditioning units. The beds are versatile and can be arranged as per the guest’s requirement, whether it is a double bed, twin sharing, or a three-bed family cabin. The ticket price includes all the bedding and towels per person. Each cabin is named after the winds of the sea and is assigned a matching swim towel set for the guests. If you happen to leave your swim towel on the deck, the crew will return it to your cabin once it is dry.
Daily cabin service is also part of the offering. A crew member will make your bed and freshen up your bathroom every day, and if you want a towel change or full cabin clean, just leave the relevant sign on the cabin door!
Eating and Entertainment
Although the day is punctuated by meal times, you certainly don’t feel like you’re running on a schedule. The relaxed nature of both the boat and the crew gives a perfect balance.
Depending on the voyage location, the daily routine can change and is flexible, depending on the wishes of the group. Perhaps sit back and relax as the crew sets sails to another remote anchorage to enjoy a freshly cooked lunch and the onboard water toys! Or spend the morning swimming in a secluded bay or exploring an ancient port city before setting sail to a new location.
Start the day with a rich buffet-style breakfast, on to a light 2-course lunch at noon, and coffee, tea and cake in the afternoon. Finish the day with a freshly cooked 3-course dinner aboard, and on the final night of the voyage, enjoy an authentic Captain’s dinner. For every voyage on Chronos, guests enjoy a meal ashore at their own expense to really immerse themselves in to the local culture and cuisine. Guests tend to go off in their groups, but sometimes the crew can join in if guests are unsure of the best spots!
Depending on the group’s mood, the crew can arrange some light-hearted entertainment, too—from local musicians over dinner to a friendly onboard music quiz (which is always amusing with international guests!) or even a wine-tasting session (at an extra cost).
Water-toys
For water lovers with a sense of adventure, Chronos offers a multitude of watersport activities and equipment. Stand-up paddleboards and adult-size snorkelling equipment are free for guests to use. Waterskiing, wakeboarding, banana boating,and tube riding are all chargeable once on board.
Chronos offers this at a moderate price and suggests an average of 10% of the voyage price to serve as a guide for consumption. The onboard currency is EUROS, and guests can open an onboard account, which can be paid at the end of their voyage.
