Are you about to take a trip on board Onas? Whether you have sailed
before or this is your first ship board experience we would like to
give you some advice that we think could be useful.
What you do on board depends a lot on the preferences of the group, you
can participate in all shipboard activities as much as you like. We
will discuss and decide the options depending on the meteorological
conditions and the personal preferences of each person, it is important
that you take part in decision-making and ask whenever you want to know
something. Bear in mind, however, that the final decision about
everything related to the safety of the crew or the boat will be made
by the skipper.
Onas can be used by full groups or individuals, but in any case sailing
on board a boat means sharing a space with a group of people. There are
minimum rules for living together and a certain need for order, you
will see that it is very easy and mostly just common sense.
Each crew member has a wardrobe, but space on board is limited and so
do not bring more things than you need, and do so in a bag or suitcase
that is not rigid or semi-rigid to make it easier to store once you
have unpacked.
In winter and spring you should bring comfortable, but warm, boots and
waterproof gear. In summer don't forget your swimwear, shorts, a hat,
sunglasses, sun cream, long trousers and a light sweater as it is often
cool at night, a windcheater or waterproof jacket are also a good idea.
We recommend bringing at least two towels, one for salt water and the
other for the fresh water in the showers.
Neutral soled shoes and sandals are also very convenient, the deck of
the boat is white and the black rubber of some shoes may mark it.
Then power supply on board is 12 V (like a car) bear this in mind if
you want to recharge cell phones or cameras.
We provide all the bed linen required for each time of the year, food
and drink. Make suggestions or let us know if you have any type of
restriction to be taken into account.
Bring your National Identity Card (and passport if we leave the
European Union) and a driving license may be useful as we often hire
cars for excursions when on land.
Pay attention to the currency of the country if we leave the Euro zone.
When we leave Spain we use a mobile phone of the country where we are,
make sure you have one before beginning the trip.
It is important to contact us before boarding to confirm arrival times,
flights, the boarding and unboarding place, transfers...
If we sail from Badalona you can use public transport and we will pick
you up at the station.
