Suitability

Who it's for

Who this hire suits—and who it doesn’t.

Somers Yacht Club MembersBecause the hire is available only to club members, it’s a direct fit for active members seeking short, independent sessions.
3
Solo Practiced SailorsA one-person craft is intended for individual use; sailors comfortable managing a skiff alone will get the most from the hire.
