When you get out of the water, a deck shower allows you to desalinate yourself. When sailing, the midnight blue cockpit cushions ensure comfort and relaxation and in good weather you can even sail lying on the sun lounger on the roof. Deck curtains and a cockpit tau will protect you from the sun during your nap or while sailing.

The boat is fully equipped for offshore navigation with distress beacon, life raft and includes an AIS system to view nearby vessels on the GPS screen.

Francois was so very welcoming of our family. We were fast friends and enjoyed his company and knowledge of the local area. There was no lack of comfort and adventure to be had. Blankets and tea or coffee to fend off the chill and wonderful snorkeling along the coast. Our only regret was that we did not book for more days. Thank you Francois for such a memorable day!
Mark and his family have adapted so well to the cruise and their skipper they could have stayed much longer on the boat. All were Very friendly respectful of the boat and the security directions they were enjoying the trip a lot. It was a pleasure having them onboard.
