Female Captain · Private Sailing Yacht · Never Shared

Owner's Description

Welcome aboard. I’m Claudette — a solo female skipper, and this 40-foot sailing yacht has been my home since 2012. Over the years I’ve covered 25,000 nautical miles across 34 countries. Right now we’re anchored in El Nido, and I’d love to show you Bacuit Bay the way I see it. Everything here is fully private. No shared tours, no strangers on deck — just your group and me. DAY SAILS (up to 5 guests)   Skip the crowded motorboat tours. We’ll hoist the sails and spend 8 hours exploring Bacuit Bay at your own pace. Depending on the wind and tides, we’ll glide past limestone cliffs, snorkel off quiet beaches, and anchor in quiet spots away from the tour boats. A fresh, prepared lunch is included for your day on the water, along with soft drinks and snacks.   (Base rate covers 2 guests; add up to 3 more.) OVERNIGHTS (1–2 guests, 2-night minimum)   When a day isn’t enough. You’ll sleep at anchor in quiet bays and wake up before the tour boats arrive. The forward master cabin is entirely yours, with a comfortable double bed, good ventilation, and a private en-suite bathroom (toilet and shower). Breakfast is included each morning. For lunches and dinners, sometimes we’ll be anchored near town with easy access to restaurants, and sometimes we’ll be in quieter, more remote spots with nothing around. You’re very welcome to bring provisions on board and use the galley, and I’m happy to help you plan and store everything. When we are close to shore options, I can recommend my favorite places to eat. Both options include: paddleboard, snorkel gear, 2 hammocks, Starlink Wi‑Fi, and soft drinks and snacks. Feel free to bring your own wine or beer — BYOB is warmly welcomed. THE DETAILS • Boarding: Meet me at Meet Up Point Cafe in Corong Corong. I’ll walk you to the pier where my dinghy will take you to the boat. • Experience: None needed — I handle all the sailing, though you’re welcome to take the helm. • Safety: This is my home, and your safety is my priority. If the weather is poor, we will reschedule or adjust. Available in El Nido until October 2026 — after that, this sailing home and I will be on to our next adventure.
