This is a private charter designed around your group and occasion — you set the objectives, timing and destinations for a sailing experience that departs from standard scheduled tours.

THE SCHEDULE

Flexible duration to fit your day

Charters are offered in multi-hour blocks so you can plan anything from a shorter outing to an extended on‑water day; available durations run between four and eight hours.

Pick the places you want to visit

Rather than a fixed route, this cruise lets you select the destinations and pacing that suit your group, giving you a customizable alternative to the standard half‑day, full‑day or sunset options.
