THE ROUTE

A Short Sail with Swim Stops

The half‑day format is deliberately brief—long enough to find a calm spot to jump in for a swim, then recline and dry in the sun before heading back to port.

THE MOOD

Relaxed, Social, Sun‑Forward

Designed for easy social time rather than ambitious passagemaking, this sail prioritizes downtime: chatter, refreshments, and time spent on deck or in the water.

THE SCALE

Intimate Group Setting

The outing accommodates a small group, making it well suited to families or close friends who want a shared, private slice of the sound.
