Facilities and Activities:
This is an Alden yacht, with teak decks and mahogany-planked hull, a
schooner designed for round-the-world cruising. It has been featured in
Yachting magazine and in the book Count the Cats in Zanzibar and has a
reputation for fast sailing. (For you serious sailors, her speed is thought
due to a large high-clewed gollywobbler sail.) Activities include kayaking,
fishing, diving, surfing and island exploration. Guests can take the helm,
raise a sail, assist with navigation or simply relax and enjoy the sailing.
Recent Fares Reported to Us: Three-day adventure $395
per person; six-day voyage $895 per person. 10% discount
when booking six guests.
