LateSail supports RNLI Mayday campaign

Yacht charter company LateSail is lending its support to the RNLI’s Mayday campaign to promote the importance of safety at sea to the sailing community.

The RNLI’s annual campaign is a yellow-themed fundraiser aiming to raise £700,000  to fund the vital kit that protects RNLI volunteers in all weathers.
LateSail’s team are keen sailors and understand how important it is to have a service dedicated to protect people enjoying the UK’s 19,000 miles of coastline and inland waters.

The team is encouraging its customers to donate £5 to the charity for every booking made in May. The company will then match each donation and contribute £5 themselves.

They will also be producing a series of blogs, video and social media content  on Facebook throughout May to raise awareness of being safe on a yacht charter holiday.

For every booking made by US customers, LateSail will donate $5 to the Virgin Islands Search And Rescue (VISAR), the non-profit search and rescue operation in the British Virgin Islands.

LateSail has a personal connection to the RNLI as its General Manager, Sebastian, is a volunteer at his local lifeboat station in Gravesend, Kent.
