“Easiest experience I have had”

As I was searching for a charter, I found 12 Knot via Google search. From initial finding to securing a great boat, was easiest experience I have had in bareboat chartering. Julia was great to work with and bridge with Marian contact when my arrival …

“Our fourth bareboat charter trip with 12 Knots”

Embarking on our fourth bareboat charter trip with 12 Knots was yet another delightful experience. Whether cruising through the serene waters of Italy, exploring the vibrant coasts of Guadeloupe, or soaking in the exotic beauty of Thailand on two sep…

“Would recommend!”

Grigory was wonderful to work with. We planned our first catamaran trip in less than 4 weeks, knowing very little. Grigory was easily accessible, and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed. The actual trip was really a success due to ou…

“We tried to make the most of it, but it was far from ideal”

Hey Grigory, thanks for asking. The boat was not in good condition. For example, there were no mooring, deck or motoring lights, so we feared a boat would hit us while we slept, and were not complying with the law while sailing at night. The anchor w…

“We had a great time in Greece”

We had a great time in Greece, the first three days we had constant 20-25knots of wind, so we were able to do a lot of sailing. The boat was also in good condition and everything in working order…the boat did however look a bit older than a 2018 mode…

“Our sailing vacation was awesome / Lagoon 62 / May 2019 / BVI”

The captain (Damien) and chief (Michael) went out of their way to make the week special for everyone aboard. What we noticed about Damien was his concern about everyone’s safety during the week. We felt very secure with his expertise in handling the …

What 12 Kntos means?

Knots are used to measure the speed at sea. "1 knot" = 1 nautical mile per hour. The English word "node” as well as “knot” has a value and a knot on a cable, and measures speed - miles per hour. This is due to the fact that in ancient times the speed of a sailing vessel was measured by releasing the rope overboard marked up at regular intervals with line tied at the end of the sector. Speed was measured by the number of knots that went overboard for a certain period of time, which was determined by the hourglass.

12 Knots is about:

comfortable cruising speed of a medium sized yacht
perfect wind speed to start your sailing courses and learn how to set up sails
confidence at sea and safe sailing vacation
