Now is your opportunity to enjoy the thrills of sailing on a fast yacht, try your hands on a coffee-grinder ie. America’s Cup style or just kick back in the spacious cockpit and let the skillful crew do their think.
  
For the thrill seekers, we offer windsurfing, diving, spinnaker flying and waterskiing. But for most, basking in the sun or sipping Rum Punches in the shade is sufficient.
  
For the Romantics, we have sunset cruises and for the families, we provide an extra hostess for your children. For safety reason we not take children below 10 years of age aboard.
