Three prime swim-and-snorkel stops
The cruise calls at three distinct bays on the east coast — with roughly one hour at each anchored stop for swimming and snorkeling in clear water, including Anthony Quinn Bay and Ladiko Bay.
Laid-back sailing and onboard fare
Relax aboard a luxury sailing catamaran while the crew serves a buffet of homemade Mediterranean food and drinks, including local wine, allowing for a full-day escape without worrying about provisioning.
Small groups, anchored stops
The operation limits numbers for comfort and safety and conducts its visits by dropping anchor offshore — passengers swim from boat to shore if they wish to reach land.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like

Lunch and beverages are served aboard between passages as the catamaran continues along the east coast and returns to the harbor at the end of the six‑hour loop.
