Life On Board

Life on board is what you make it.   It is up to You to decide what suits your mood best…  With the added, unbeatable, advantage of waking up to a different setting every day.

Depending on the activity you have in mind, your yacht will sail primarily at night; each anchorage will offer different choices.  By day they will snuggle close-in to sheltered bays, coves and lagoons—harbors of opportunity…

For divers, our yachts offer excursions to some of the best dive sites in the World escorted by some of the best dive instructors in the business.

The skippers on our sports fishing boats bring to the party an intimate knowledge of the fishing waters.  Although not a guarantee of a catch, this knowledge surely cannot hurt.

Alternatively, why not enjoy one of Life’s most endearing pleasures and simply relax on deck with a tall, cool drink and contemplate nothing more complicated than your suntan.

Meals are a self-indulgence as that day’s offerings from Chef are presented.

After dinner sit on deck, at peace with yourself, fully at ease after another perfect day, and gaze at something we’ve long forgotten...An extraordinary multitude of stars.

So many Stars... So many Stars...
