Boarding on Sir Robert: 6 p.m.

Baggage can be checked in earlier. In the event of an earlier arrival of the airplane, the baggage can be brought on board or collected earlier. Sir Robert is mostly located near nice cafes, bars or shops, so that a possible waiting time can easily be bridged. The embarkation is at 6 p.m., but sometimes the arrival times of the planes are earlier, previously booked transfers to the port of departure or anchorage can be organized and the luggage can also be brought on board. The ship is mostly close to nice cafes, bars, beaches for a first pleasant stay.
A later arrival can be arranged in correspondence with us. With the Dinghy we will pick you up at the agreed meeting point.

Check-out at 4 p.m.

Passports

We need your valid passport or identity card to clear inward and outward.
At the beginning of the journey they are collected on board and stored for the port authorities and coast guards.
On the day of departure, you will receive back your identity cards.

Check out and transfer

Check out is until 4 p.m. Should you have an earlier return flight, this does not pose a problem. Please let us know your return flight details before departure so we can arrange a transfer to the airport or hotel. These costs are to be paid in cash upon the final invoice.

Board language

The language on board is German and English. On sailing ships, we use the less formal “du”.

Electricity

The voltage on board is 230 Volts and in the evening after closing the kitchen we have a pleasant and comfortable night’s rest thanks to our battery system.

Internet and telephony

Mobile Internet connection and data roaming is possible almost in all coastal regions.
Due to the fact that roaming costs were banned throughout the EU, you can make your calls at costs similar to Germany. If you need a lot of data volume, you should buy it before the start of the trip or at the airport. Many ports also offer Internet cafes and Wi-Fi connection. On board there is no Wi-Fi connection.

Night time

We ask you to be considerate of other guests.
We ask for your understanding for ship-related noises caused by sailing maneuvers, winches, generators, dropping and raising the anchor, anchor chain. Smoking: Smoking below deck is not allowed for safety reasons. You can smoke on deck, and ashtrays are provided. Please do not throw cigarette butts overboard.

Sleeping on deck

Depending on wind and weather, sleeping on deck in certain areas is possible for a certain number of guests. Mattresses are available and light blankets and sleeping bags can be rented for a small fee. We ask for consideration concerning other guests and for quiet on-deck-sleeping.

Music

There are speakers in the salon and on the aft deck and you are welcome to use your own playlist and your small mobile speakers. Please contact us.

T-shirts & caps

You can purchase T-shirts and caps with the “Sir Robert logo” on board.

Clothing

The clothing on board during the day is casual (T-shirts, shorts). Swimwear is not desired during meals and below deck. As a rule, it is always a bit cooler and windier on the water, so a light wind jacket, long trousers, long-sleeved shirt and head protection because of the wind are recommended. This clothing is also useful for restaurant and land visits.

Sun protection

Sun protection is important: Sunglasses, sun cream, headgear, caps, towels, light sun covers.

Shoes

On board you can walk barefoot or with sandals. Furthermore, we ask for clean sport or boat shoes with a non-slip sole. We also recommend hiking boots for shore excursions and hikes.

Luggage

Luggage should be stored in foldable bags (trolleys) or smaller suitcases, but not rigid suitcases. This facilitates storing in the cabin. Smaller backpacks are ideal for shore excursions.

Sunbathing, reading on deck

Spacious sunbathing mattresses, deckchairs and cushions on all benches are available to all guests on deck and when the sun is strong we are happy to set the sun sails on the middle deck and aft.

Besides the obligatory on-board pharmacy, other small medicinal products such as aspirin and band aids are available. There are numerous of pharmacies on shore leaves.

Drinks

The drinks on board outside the meals are noted on a tally list, which can be found on the refrigerator in the salon.

Maritime activities

Bathing and swimming

Bathing and swimming in crystal clear water is always possible directly from the ship, as soon as the large bathing ladder is attached to starboard by the crew. After bathing, you can wash the salt off briefly with the deck shower. Bathing towels can be rented for a fee, we recommend to bring your own because of the limited water resources in the Mediterranean Sea.

Snorkeling

ABC snorkeling equipment is available for every guest – for a small fee – and if you wish you can be accompanied by an experienced crew member.

Diving

As an ISS diving base, diving is a popular activity on our ship. Together with our diving instructor, we offer the comfort of a daily dive in different waters. Additionally, we offer test dives, courses and night dives. The day is organized so that diving and other activities do not stand in each other’s way and everybody gets what they wish for. Two compressors, tanks, weights, high-quality Mares equipment in all common sizes are available – and a lot of experience.

Dinghy Shuttle

With a length of 5.40 meters, the Dinghy can bring you to the beach, to the village or to the bay with a pleasantly manageable number of guests. The Dinghy is entered on port side, one or two crew members are happy to help. A normal fitness is sufficient and necessary.
