What the day feels like

What the morning feels like

For 1 hour and 30 minutes you move from the sheltered harbor into open water, trading shore‑side stillness for wind‑swept clarity—sun, spray and crisp air—on a boat small enough to feel private yet stable enough for casual passengers and first‑time helpers alike.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
CouplesIdeal for couples seeking a quiet, private outing—the six‑person limit keeps the experience intimate and easy to reserve for two.
2
Small groups of friendsGood for groups up to six who want a shared, relaxed morning on the water; larger parties will not fit aboard the six‑passenger vessel.
3
First‑time sailorsSuitable for novices who want a low‑commitment introduction; guests can stay seated or sit with the crew to learn basic sail handling.
4
Large families or big groupsNot a good match—capacity is limited to six passengers, so families or groups larger than that should seek additional or alternative sail options.
