What if I test positive during my Sailomate voyage?

In case the symptoms appear during the voyage, and you test positive, you will be required to isolate yourself from the rest of the mates and leave the vessel at the first possibility. This will mean the end of your Sailomate trip.
You will then need to follow the procedures that are in force at the Destination country.

No, presently we are not performing any tests at check-in.
Though you may be asked to prove your vaccination status and/or a negative COVID-19 test if this is required by local Destinations rules.
We reserve the right to implement further additional COVID-19 measures at check-in if the rules in the Destination country change.

Do I need to be vaccinated to attend Sailomate voyage?

At Sailomate we do not require our mates to be vaccinated to join the voyage, though we strongly recommend all guests to be fully vaccinated with current booster vaccinations.
In addition please note that if you are joining somebody’s crew, some of our Voyage leaders may ask everyone on their boat to be vaccinated as a part of their internal team rules.
If you decide to join a Sailomate voyage without being able to produce the proof of vaccination, you should be aware of the possibility that Destination government requirements may change and you may be denied entry into bars, restaurants or other activities in accordance with local laws.
Unvaccinated mates are permitted to attend Sailomate voyages if they comply with the rules applicable in the Destination country.
Unvaccinated guests may require a negative COVID-19 test to enter certain venues in accordance with local laws.
