The boat is chartered exclusively to your party — an intimate, private experience that gives you control over who comes and how you spend the time on the water.
A Fully Customizable Itinerary
You set the route, the stops and the rhythm: visit islands, anchor on quiet beaches or thread the natural channels — the crew will advise but the plan is yours.
Relaxed Service and Small Conveniences
