Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

A intimate coastal cruise of the Akamas

The short charter delivers unique views of the Akamas coastline from sea level — dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and quiet beaches all passed within a compact 2.5‑hour window.

THE EXPERIENCE

Learn to sail — or do nothing at all

Choose between an introduction to sailing with an engaged crew or a purely relaxing afternoon on deck; the charter is designed so you can tailor the outing to your mood.

THE COMFORTS

Swim, snorkel and enjoy on-board refreshments

When conditions require anchoring, the boat becomes a base for swimming and snorkeling; guests are served sparkling wine, cold drinks and fresh food so you can truly unwind.
