Why Velum

We keep it simple.
You keep the money.

💸

Direct prices

No inflated rack rates, no mystery fees. What you see is what you pay. We cut out as many middlemen as we can — the savings reach you, not some guy on his third espresso in a Monaco harbour office.

🤝

Real humans

You will actually talk to someone who knows the boats, the routes, and the local spots that don't show up on Google Maps. No chatbots. No ticket queues. More responsive than your building's maintenance guy, guaranteed.

Ask for a deal

Seriously — just ask. We're not going to make you sit through a timeshare presentation first. Last-minute slots, group bookings, off-season rates — drop us a message and see what happens. Worst case, we say no.

Questions

Things people ask us.
Honestly.

Depends on the boat and destination. Many of our charters include a skipper — which is honestly the smart choice, because a local skipper knows which bay has the best fish restaurant and which one has the sea urchins that will ruin your afternoon. If you have a valid licence and want to drive yourself, that works too.
We can get you a boat to pretty much any island — including the ones that aren't on the tourist map. We do ask that your private island plans involve sunbathing and wine rather than anything that would make international headlines. For everything else, we're flexible.
Peak summer (July–August in the Med) books up fast — 3 to 6 months ahead is sensible. That said, we often have last-minute slots, and those tend to come with better prices. If your life is chaos and you plan nothing in advance, we respect that. Message us anyway.
The boat, safety gear, and any listed crew. Fuel, marina fees, food, drinks, and the sunscreen you will definitely forget to pack — those are on you. We don't bury surprises in the small print. If something costs money, we say so upfront. Wild concept, we know.
Yes, genuinely. Group bookings, last-minute slots, repeat clients, off-season dates — there are usually options. We're not going to make you enter a promo code you found on a coupon site from 2019. Just message us, explain your situation, and we'll see what we can do. It genuinely never hurts to ask.
We wondered when someone would ask. No. But we appreciate the skepticism — the internet has trained you well. We're a real company, with real boats, real skippers, and real humans on WhatsApp. If you're still unsure, message us and we'll send you enough proof to satisfy even the most suspicious among you.
Depends on the dog. And the boat. Send us a photo of both and we'll give you a straight answer. In our experience, dogs on boats are either absolutely fine or a complete disaster, with very little in between. We'll help you figure out which category yours falls into.
All vessels come with appropriate insurance and you'll have a direct line to us for the duration. Boats are checked before departure. Genuine emergencies are rare — but when they happen, you'll have someone to call who actually picks up. Unlike, say, most customer support lines.

Let's find you a boat.

Use the form, or skip straight to WhatsApp if forms make you feel like you're filing taxes. Either way, you'll get a real reply from a real person — not a confirmation email with a ticket number and a 3-5 business day disclaimer.
