We create unforgettable yachting holidays.

Who are we?

Our story

For us, the freedom of a sailing holiday is incomparable. Cruising through azure waters, catching fish from the deck, dropping anchor and swimming in a secluded cove – these are experiences that can’t be found elsewhere.

HELM was co-founded by Simon Morgan and Peter Harrison-Hill.

Having worked in the charter industry for many years – first as skippers and then as brokers – we felt people deserved the chance to enjoy fully tailored yachting holidays with complete clarity about cost.

HELM is our way of sharing our love of yachting:
by helping people have sailing experiences they’ll never forget.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbour. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

— H Jackson Brown Jr

What they say about us

Sailboat charter with HELM
We retained HELM to charter a sailboat for us in Greece. Never having sailed other than in the New England region we were glad to have HELM’s guidance. The boat they helped us charter was in superb condition and the charter company very accomodating making for an excellent week on the water. Every question we had was answered promptly and fully by HELM. We highly recommend their service.

Really Great Experience with Helm
Really great experience with Helm, highly recommended. Fleur was a delight to liaise with and she found us a really superb yacht charter company with a virtually brand new boat. They were professional and flexible with the date changes we made. The quality of the boat made it a carefree experience for the whole two weeks. Croatia is a special sailing ground.

We had the most amazing time sailing…
We had the most amazing time sailing around the Croatian Islands with the help of Helm. They were instramental in booking the perfect yacht to fit our needs. Everything went incredibly smoothly from start to finish. This was our first time experiencing this type of trip and it could not have been better. It's going to be difficult to travel any other way after this truly amazing experience.
