Do I need sailing experience to charter a sailing yacht?

Not at all. Crewed charters include a licensed captain who handles all sailing operations. You can participate as much or as little as you want. Many guests enjoy learning basic concepts and taking the helm briefly under supervision, while others prefer to simply relax and enjoy the ride. If you wanted to bareboat charter (renting without crew), that would require certifications and experience, but standard crewed charters welcome complete beginners.
