Full yacht bookings are able to request a specific skipper/host within 1 week of placing your booking with us. You can do this by selecting your skipper/host's name below the crew list on your profile's booking page. If their name does not appear, please get in touch directly with the skipper as they will need to update their availability. We are unable to nominate skippers any later than the week after your booking has been made.

Cabin bookings cannot nominate specific skippers. Please request an upgrade to a full yacht booking in order to nominate a skipper of your choice.

Nominations need to be made no later than 7 days from the date you make your booking. Any nominations after 7 days will not be accepted.

Not all nominations are guaranteed, this can be for a number of reasons, therefore, it's important you get your nominations in early. But don't worry, all of our team at QuarterDeck are professionally trained and we will assign you a fantastic host to make your week the best of your life!
