THE EXPERIENCE

Be Your Own Captain

Step aboard a license-free craft and steer your own short voyage; the operator positions these boats so a small group can enjoy a day on the water without prior licensing.

THE BOAT

Comfort for Five

The boats are built to carry up to five people and feature spacious sundecks, comfortable storage areas and a refrigerator to keep drinks chilled for the day.

THE SUPPORT

Simple, Supported Handling

An experienced team provides a safety briefing and basic instruction so you can handle the boat confidently and enjoy a safe outing with friends or family.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

You check in, receive a concise safety brief from the crew, and push off under your own command for a short Mediterranean cruise — spreading out on the sundeck, stowing gear in the provided storage and keeping drinks chilled in the on-board refrigerator while you pilot a boat sized for up to five people.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small familiesIdeal for families who want an easy, self-directed day afloat — boats accommodate up to five people, making them well suited to a single-family group.
2
Groups of friendsA good fit for a group of friends looking for a short private outing; the five-person capacity keeps groups intimate.
3
First-time boatersSuitable for novices because the team provides instruction and the craft are designed to be easy to handle; it’s a low-barrier way to try skippering.
4
Large groups or partiesNot ideal for larger gatherings — each boat’s maximum capacity is five people, so larger parties will need multiple rentals or alternative arrangements.
