Skipper Cathy at the helm

Every trip is led by Cathy, an experienced, licensed skipper who knows these waters inside out — with years of sailing experience across the Mediterranean and beyond, she'll make sure you have a memorable day on the water.

Where possible we will always have an extra crew member, to accompany us and to assist with anything that may be needed on board.

We're multilingual — between us, we speak English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish and Afrikaans. 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇩🇪 🇵🇱 🇿🇦

We had a wonderful time on the boat! We visited secluded bays and the water was absolutely beautiful! The skipper knew the waters very well and shared lots of information about the island. We're already looking forward to the next time!
