How reserving works

Same-Tide Reserve — hold a boat online with a holding deposit, pay by card or crypto, settle the balance before you sail. Prices shown in full.

Same-Tide Reserve is our promise on day boats and small yachts: pick a date and a party size, and hold the boat online — confirmed the same tide, any hour. No waiting for office hours, no back-and-forth to lock a weekend.

What you pay, and when

You reserve with a holding deposit — a fraction of the charter that secures your date. The balance is settled before you sail. Every price on the charter pages is shown in full, deposit included; there is no markup hidden downstream.

Card or crypto

Pay by card or in crypto — instant, any hour. Crypto clears immediately, with no wire delays and no card ceilings, so a late booking confirms the same night. A late Friday booking can confirm and clear the same night.

Opening shortly. Online payment is being switched on. Until then, sending a reserve holds your date immediately and The Purser confirms settlement with you personally — nothing is charged before you’ve agreed it.

Crewed weeks

Crewed sailing and motor-yacht weeks are arranged personally rather than reserved on the spot — the dates, the crew and the route are worth a short conversation. Start one from any yacht, or through the enquiry form.
