Last updated: 24 July 2026

These terms apply when you visit or use sailmates.co.uk. By continuing to use the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the website.

1. About us

Sailmates is a cruise and travel content brand operated by:

Sailmates Media Ltd
Company number: 17360102
Registered in England and Wales
Registered office: 232 Ashby High Street, Scunthorpe, England, DN16 2SJ

You can contact us at hello@sailmates.co.uk .

2. About the website

Sailmates publishes cruise and travel content, including reviews, personal experiences, videos, photographs, articles, guides, recommendations and links to third-party websites.

Our content is provided for general information, entertainment and inspiration. It is not professional, financial, legal, medical or travel-agent advice.

3. Personal opinions and experiences

Reviews and opinions on Sailmates are based on our own experiences, observations and views at the time the content was created.

Cruise ships, itineraries, prices, facilities, menus, policies, inclusions and travel requirements can change. Your experience may differ from ours.

You should confirm important details directly with the relevant cruise line, travel provider, accommodation provider, attraction, government authority or other official source before booking or travelling.

4. No bookings or travel services

Sailmates currently provides content only. We do not currently sell holidays, make travel bookings, arrange package holidays or act as a travel agent through this website.

Contacting Sailmates does not create a travel booking, agency relationship, advisory relationship or contract for travel services.

5. Affiliate links

Some Sailmates pages contain affiliate links. This means we may receive a commission when you follow a link and make a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate, Sailmates earns from qualifying purchases.

Affiliate relationships do not increase the price you pay and do not guarantee that a product or service will be suitable for you. You remain responsible for checking product details, compatibility, availability, pricing and the seller's terms before purchasing.

We aim to identify affiliate content clearly where required.

6. Complimentary travel, gifts and partnerships

Sailmates may occasionally receive complimentary or discounted travel, accommodation, products, services or other benefits from brands and travel providers.

Where content is sponsored, paid for, gifted or created as part of a commercial relationship, we aim to disclose this clearly in the relevant content.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the opinions expressed remain our own.

7. External websites and services

Sailmates contains links to third-party websites and services, including Amazon, Buy Me a Coffee, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, cruise lines and travel providers.

External websites are not controlled by Sailmates. We are not responsible for their content, availability, security, pricing, products, services, privacy practices or terms.

Following an external link is at your own discretion. Any purchase, booking, payment or other transaction is between you and the relevant third party.

8. Buy Me a Coffee

The Buy Me a Coffee link allows visitors to support Sailmates voluntarily through an external platform.

Contributions are not payments for travel services, bookings, financial returns or guaranteed content. Payment processing and account services are provided by Buy Me a Coffee and its payment providers under their own terms.

9. Newsletter

You may choose to subscribe to the Sailmates newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in an email or by contacting us.

We cannot guarantee that every email will be delivered, uninterrupted or free from technical issues.
