Hester is a beautiful, long, two-masted clipper of nearly 40 metres in length. She was built as a freighter in 1898 and converted to a comfortable charter sailing boat in her second life. The great length of this boat is replicated below deck in a large smoking room with sunken TV/reading corner, which makes the boat particularly suited to small conferences and corporate gatherings. The spacious kitchen is separate so that you are not disturbed by noise. For active types, the boat has a speedboat + 6 person RIB that makes it particularly suited to large groups of young people.

Extending your trip Its possible for trips to be extended. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Alternative departure harbour Its also possible to use a departure harbour other than the base harbours. If you do, you should take into account the vessels crossing time, which will either be charged for or form part of your trip itinerary. That charge is €60 per hour for vessels being prepared for trips of more than one day.
Bedding and towels Trips of more than one day always include the provision of sheets, pillows and pillow cases. Towels can be hired on board for €4 each. You can arrange this with us up to three weeks before departure.
Cleaning If the cleaning of the vessel after the trip is not included in the rental price (see specifications menu), you can choose to carry out the cleaning yourself or pay to have it done. You can pay the captain on board, or have it added it to the charge for services if you are paying for catering. Cleaning on Saturdays and Sundays is subject to a €20 supplement.
