Our services:
24/7 SUPPORT
Imagine this: Your next sailing vacation—a serene bay, a quaint tavern by the shore, laughter echoing as everyone enjoys the water. Suddenly, an unfamiliar beep, or the anchor winch slips, and the anchor cannot be raised, or even worse, it gets caught on a hidden rock below. Or perhaps one of the toilets gets clogged. The oven malfunctions, or the engine doesn’t start, or one of the kids doesn’t feel well. These sorts of setbacks happen to all sailors, no matter how well prepared they are.
myFirstMate is here, 24/7, to lend a hand. Whether you prefer tackling the issue independently with our professional resources or seeking direct assistance from our team of experts, we’ve got you covered. Simply raise your hand, and a myFirstMate professional will swiftly guide you through the solution process, coordinating any necessary technician visits.
DAILY ITINERARY
So, where are we sailing to today? At myFirstMate, we build a personalized route just for you. Every evening, you will receive a prospective route for the following day based on your preferences, the crew’s wishes, the updated weather conditions, and the knowledge we have accumulated over many years of sailing around the world. We will guide you to the most beautiful places, fascinating shore excursions, and unforgettable experiences.
The route we provide you with is, of course, a recommendation only. You can update it or change it to your liking, and even export it to any navigation app you use.
