The authenticity of a first morning of the world
You are looked after by four sailors and a cook, and above all in the company of Laetitia or Fred, owners of this magnificent boat. We favour full sail ahead, living to the wind's rhythm.
Fresh-caught fish, tuna sashimi at anchor, nights under the stars and mornings in turquoise water. This is travel as it used to be.
