UPFRONT WET BEHIND THE EARS
Starting out as a Yachtie will definitely have certain challenges. Here are our top five types of newbies on board

the past for this relaxed fellow and hitting snooze is not an option. Work starts at day break and finishes when the last guest goes to bed. Time to be both an early bird and a night owl - who needs sleep anyway!

of Mallorca’s more remote anchorages. Benefitting from deep water, which gives the water an amazing rich blue colour, accessibility is easy for any size of yacht.

40°47′51″N,13°25′48″E VENTOTENE
One of the smallest islands in the Mediterranean and only 2.4km sq is off the coast of Gaeta right at the border between Lazio and Campania, Italy.
