FAQs

All Race Crew have the opportunity to spread their training and berth fees with equal monthly payments. This allows you to schedule your training weeks well in advance and choose a leg that best suits your budget and timing. The earlier you apply, the longer you have to spread the cost.

The Recruitment Team will talk through your payment options at the interview stage.

If you would like further information about our payment plan please email: oceanracer@clipper-ventures.com or call +44(0) 2392 526000

Before the start of your training, you’ll need to set up your payment plan where you pay for the training and your berth on the race in monthly instalments, starting the month after we’ve received your contract and deposit. As a guide, the last payment due for the Clipper 2025-26 Race would be June 2025. Of course, if you’d prefer to pay the balance in several lump sums that is also ok – as long as it matches the same overall payment plan.
