The Personal Difference
Trips are limited to just 16 guests, and smaller yachts mean a more intimate and personal trip experience. We provide a dedicated trip leader who will be with you for the entire journey. All of our guides are local, and they all love to share their country's beauty, culture and history with guests. We visit the more off the beaten path locations, thus avoiding the crowds.
Full-Service Exploration
Our itinerary is designed to provide as much or as little activity as preferred, visit as many points of interest as possible while still maintaining the balance between relaxation and discovery. While on the yacht all of your meals are included accompanied by local wines and beers in reasonable quantities.
