The catamaran is luxuriously equipped with freezer, fridge, water maker and warm water. On Bord we have a diving compressor and dive equipment as well as windsurf and surfequipement and a kayak free of charge for your disposal. We try to adopt our tourplan according to your wishes depending if you prefer sailing, relaxing or the other activities like diving or surfing. Please find further information on our site www.alive.cms4people.de or send an email to [email protected] You can share our lifestyle for a certain amount of time without financial risks involved in owning a boat. The costs to maintain the boat are pretty high as well – annually about 25.000€ for maintenance. This is why I have to ask my crew for a cost contribution which gets less the longer the crewmember stays. It is 690€ / week for the first two weeks, 590€ / week for the 3rd and 4th week, 490€ for the 5th and 6th week and only 390€ for every additional week. There is a 10% discount for crew joining again and 10% discount for couples. These contributions do not cover my costs at all but help me to keep running. I hope for your understanding. Food and fuel we share from the cruising kitty and is additional 60€ by week and person. I believe that our cost share is fair since our crew can enjoy sailing with an exceptional boat and enjoy our lifestyle for a restricted time without a financial risk but sure has to contribute a little. time- and routeplan Wild One 2015: 2015 we cross the Indian Ocean from Australia to South Africa First half of 2015 we will sail along the coast of Australia, second half we will discover the beautiful islands Cocos Keeling, Christmas Island, Rodriques, Mauritius and La Reunion. 1.
