Weather & safety
In a nutshell
How Team Yachting handles weather and safety on board: joint decision by the skipper and the project manager, fallback options, merchant navy licensed skippers and a safety briefing before every departure. No sailing experience is needed to take part.

What happens in case of bad weather?
Decision-making: safety being our priority, the decision is made jointly by the lead skipper and our project manager, 24 to 48 hours before the event, based on Météo-France marine forecasts.
Fallback options:
- Adapting the route (sheltered areas around the islands or bays).
- An alternative dockside format (cocktail or seminar on board the stabilised vessel).
- A postponement option under our contractual terms, or activation of weather insurance.
In any event, we refund at no cost if Météo-France issues a BMS (special weather bulletin) and none of the fallback options suits you.
Who skippers the boats and what are the safety rules?
Our vessels are skippered exclusively by merchant navy licensed skippers (Captain 200 GT or higher). Team Yachting is a shipowner registered with the French Maritime Affairs (SPR 6774).
A safety briefing is mandatory before every departure. Safety equipment is up to date and self-inflating life jackets are provided to all participants.
Do you need sea legs to take part?
No. Even without sea legs, we work with you to build the format best suited to your objective, timing and budget: a dockside evening, a half-day or a full-day trip.
