Standard Inventory on all Neilson Yachts

We equip our yachts thoroughly, to spare you having to worry about a thing. Your yachts will be fully prepared upon arrival, with a full inventory. If anything gets broken during your cruise, let our staff know. We understand that accidents happen and will make no charges for these items.

Inclusive Fuel and Water

At the start of your holiday all Neilson yachts are supplied with full tanks of water and fuel and there is no mileage to pay. Stocks can be replenished en route, although it's unlikely you will need more fuel. The lead crew will advise where this is available and location of showers ashore.

Inclusive Marine Insurance

There is no damage waiver, deposit or marine insurance to pay on a Neilson yachting holiday. We include marine insurance within the holiday price, covering any unfortunate damage to the yacht, its accessories and public liability. All you need is personal travel insurance that allows for your sailing activities.
