Sailing charter in Ukraine
Sailing ⛵🌅 is the most popular type of water recreation in Ukraine. Why? Because among the “Ukrainian fleet” the biggest number vessels are sailboats. Also in this category the rental prices are the most democratic. The cost of a ride per hour in Kyiv starts from 29 USD, in the regions – from 15 USD.
Anything at all is celebrated on board: birthdays, weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, arrange romantic dates, and even conduct excursions. Also on weekends leasing is popular for families with children. Regattas are held for the corporate sector.
Sailboats come in different lengths, from 5 meters to 270 meters. 10-meter and bigger boats are equipped with their own refrigerator, kitchen and toilet on board. Smaller vessels may be without a toilet. Girls, please pay attention to this. The conditions are described on the vessel’s page in the equipment section.
Sea yachts, which are the most spread in sunny Odesa, are best equipped. After all, they are designed not only for river walks, but also for sea and even ocean voyages. Here, the supply of fresh water is larger, the cabins are more spacious, the kitchen is available, and a backup diesel generator is installed. In general, sea yachts are suitable for those who like comfort.
Sailboats are usually booked for 6-8 people.

Questions about the sailing in Ukraine
How to choose the best sailboat 🌊 for charter?
The choice of a boat depends on the number of guests and the level of desired comfort. Smaller are suitable for a budget holiday: two to three hour trips for a small group. Most likely, there will not be a toilet and a refrigerator. Larger variants give an option to stay not only at the rear aft, but also at the bow. In addition, there is a toilet on board. Large sailing boats have such amenities as luxury yachts or catamarans – these are full cabins with toilets and showers, a kitchen area, a refrigerator, a stove, a couple of tables and sun loungers at the bow.
When is the reservation paid?
When booking a vessel, we ask for a partial prepayment online. If the owner declines your request, we will automatically refund the amount of the prepayment. After successful confirmation of the booking request, you will receive the contacts of the host of the vessel. The rest of the rental amount is paid to the host before the start of the walk.
What does the payment include? What additional services are available?
In Ukraine the rental price usually includes preparation of the vessel (external and internal cleaning), the captain on board and fuel (typically on a slow speed). Additionally, you can order catering, photography, and fishing tackle. A list of all additional services is indicated on the listing page.
Is it allowed to take food 🍕🍣 on board?
Typically, yes. When walking for half a day, take along water (1 liter per person), ready-made meals or snacks, and fruits. Possibility to take alcohol with you – check the conditions on the vessel’s page. Sometimes light alcoholic beverages are allowed and strong alcohol is prohibited. More about food on board.
Who determines the route?
Of course, if you are familiar with the area, then suggest to the captain the route of your walk. In other cases, the captain will offer the best option based on the length of the lease and the time of day.
Can we board at another marina?
Typically, most captains can moor outside restaurants or enter other marina to pick you. Check the delivery details on the listing page or directly ask the owner after booking. Delivery can be free or paid depending on the distance from the yacht’s parking place.
Do all sailboats have a toilet?
Most of the medium and large boats have a toilet and shower. Smaller may not have a toilet on board. See the options on a listing at the equipment section.
Are life jackets given out for a ride?
Life jackets are on board. They are not given to the guest when the walk starts, but are available in case of emergency. The captain is responsible for the safety of guests during the rest. The owner can answer all questions after booking confirmation.
Is it possible to get a vessel without a captain?
In Ukraine – rarely. Charter rentals here are not as developed yet, as in other countries. Nevertheless, some hosts are ready to lease their vessel without a captain. Rental details are described in the rules on the listing page. Do not forget about the presence of a skipper license and additional insurance deposit.
How can I reschedule 🗓️ my charter?
Check with the owner. In order for the new booking date to be displayed in the personal account, the owner of the vessel must submit a request 48 hours in advance.
Bad weather. How to get money back?
The sailors joke “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” But we have no time for jokes now. If the weather conditions really do not allow the yacht to leave the marina, then, most likely, the owner will contact you with a proposal to postpone the charter date. If you wish to cancel your reservation from personal account, we will return part of your prepayment, excluding services and bimbarent fees.
What else might be needed?
If you are planning to ride on a sunny day: take water for everyone, easy food, sunscreen, hat, swimming trunks / swimwear, towels, a music speaker and a powerbank for your phone.
