Sailing, coast, swim stop or time ashore

Day trips & tickets Questions about day trips, tickets, schedule, weather and participation.
What is included in the ticket?
The ticket includes the day trip on SY HERA, skipper, safety briefing, normal use of the yacht and the onboard services listed in the offer. Personal expenses ashore, restaurant visits or additional services are not included unless explicitly stated.
How long does a day trip take?
The duration depends on the specific experience and is shown in hours. Day trips are not displayed as fractions of a day, but for example as 3 hours or 5–7 hours.
What happens in bad weather?
Safety, weather and crew always come first. The skipper decides whether the route must be adjusted, the schedule changed or the date postponed. The goal is always a responsible and enjoyable experience on the water.
Can children join?
Yes, children can join if the selected experience, weather and crew situation are suitable. Child tickets are valid only when accompanied by an adult. Responsibility and supervision remain with the accompanying adults.
What should I bring for a day trip?
We recommend comfortable clothing, non-slip shoes with light soles, sun protection, sunglasses, a light jacket, swimwear depending on the weather and personal items for the day. Large hard-shell suitcases are not suitable for day trips.
What happens after my enquiry?
We personally check the date, weather window, crew size and availability and get back to you with a suitable response. An enquiry is not yet an automatic booking confirmation.
Is there a shore stop in Grado?
In many cases, yes. If we get a free berth and the conditions are suitable, we go ashore for a short time. As this depends on weather and berth availability, we cannot guarantee a shore stop. Food, drinks and personal expenses ashore are not included in the price.
Is an overnight stay on board included?
No. Day trips are ticket-based experiences without an overnight stay on board. If you would like to spend several days on board, sailing weekends, sailing holidays or skipper trainings are the suitable options.
Can I book a day trip exclusively for my group?
Yes. Many day trips can also be requested exclusively for your own group. Availability depends on the date, weather window and suitable group size.
Where do the day trips start?
The meeting point is usually Marina Monfalcone at SY HERA. The exact details are confirmed after your request so that date, crew, weather and berth situation can be checked properly.
Is it possible to go ashore during the trip?
In many cases, yes. If we can get a free berth and conditions are suitable, we may go ashore for a short time. As this depends on weather and harbour availability, a shore stop cannot be guaranteed. Food and drinks ashore are not included in the price.
Can we swim during a day trip?
If weather, route and safety conditions allow it, a swim stop is possible. It is always decided according to the situation and cannot be guaranteed.
Is the sunset cruise suitable for couples?
Yes. The sunset cruise is especially suitable for couples looking for a calm evening on the water, sunset, aperitivo and a special atmosphere.
Are the day trips suitable for photos and special moments?
Yes. Miramare, Trieste, Grado and the sunset cruise in particular offer strong photo moments from the water. Please keep your camera or smartphone safe from water and wind on board.
