Thinking of renting a small Yacht for the day for mrs's 50th. Saw somewhere that you can get one in Sept for £100 pp with a captain. Does anyone know where?
Thanks for that. Is this the same boat hire company
Failing hiring a Yacht, due to expense, is there anything that does a bit of a day thing around some nice parts of the island etc, some sort of boat trip? Would be nice to to go to Formentera for starters...
wonder how much they have to pay for the rescue of this yacht !?
