Paying the Booking deposit for a Fastnet swim slot secures your place on the list of swimmers for the next season, 2025. This generally will be for a single Fastnet to Baltimore or Baltimore to Fastnet swim. Other options such as a double Fastnet swim can be arranged on payment of the deposit. The remainder of the fee will be paid prior to the swim date and boat fees will be paid directly to the pilot. The actual swim date will be agreed with the boat skipper within the selected slot dates subject to conditions and slot priority. Every effort will be made to rearrange a swim that has been weathered out.
