With all the implications surrounding COVID-19, social distancing and social bubbles, chartering is proving to be a very popular choice. So, steer away from the crowds and enjoy the privacy of your own holiday home on the water!

Many of our guests are deciding to charter a yacht and a Jolly Skipper to complete an RYA Sailing Course with their family or a group of friends. This gives the ultimate flexibility and superb value for money. Or maybe you just fancy getting out on the water for a day sail around the Bay of Gibraltar?

Yacht chartering whether it be bareboat, or with a Jolly Parrot skipper, is the perfect solution for those who want to sail at their own pace. It offers a relaxing and comfortable way for you and your group to enjoy the stunning scenery and beautiful ports along the Costa Del Sol. For the more adventurous there are the Moroccan coastal harbours too.

All of the Jolly Parrot Sailing yachts are British registered and VAT paid. They all conform to the MCA code of practice and are certified as a minimum to Category 2 (operational area up to 60 miles from a safe haven). Additionally, they are registered training yachts with the RYA so you can be sure that they comply to the most stringent safety codes anywhere. Over and above the inspection procedures required to conform to regulations, Jolly Parrot Sailing ensure that each yacht is lifted out of the water and thoroughly inspected at least once in any 12 month period so you can be certain that the yacht you charter is safe and seaworthy.

With skippered charters it doesn't matter how much experience you have. Get involved or kick back and relax – it's your choice.  When Bareboat chartering, why not consider a Jolly skipper for a day or two to familiarise yourself with the yacht. Contact us for a quote.

Our Charter Yachts:

Bavaria 36 Jolly Parrot and Playful Parrot (Bareboat or Skippered Charter)

Our Bavaria 36, Jolly Parrot, is one of our primary training yachts. Her interior boasts a spacious, functional galley and large saloon that lends itself perfectly to lively entertaining or quiet relaxation. She is equipped with a chart plotter, VHF and a fully integrated class 'B' AIS  transponder. She can accommodate 8 people in 3 double cabins plus 2 single, separate saloon berths. For evening entertainment Jolly is fitted with a Bluetooth stereo.

Above deck, Jolly takes on a whole new personality, with easily adjustable sail controls utilising only the highest quality hardware. This generous sail plan including a laminate, slab reef mainsail, a yankee-cut jib, spinnaker, cruising chute and a full set of storm sails gets her performing up to the expectations of the most avid sailor, whether it is a light air cruise or the thrill of a total adrenaline rush when the breeze picks up. Jolly Parrot  has the added bonus of having a deep lead keel which has her out-performing most other Bavaria 36 yachts and in fact, is our choice for racing in local regattas.
