Family business

We started our charter company in 1996 but our experience in sailing was gained over few generations on our ten meter sailing yacht since 1935. Back then she was one of few in these areas. Our first season we started with just two boats but with every new season we were adding new boats to our fleet. Now we have many boats and all of them are in top shape. The way we maintain our boats is something that we are very proud of and our customers appreciate it. None of our boats have promotion materials on it, which gives our clients an additional privacy and they can feel like they own a boat!
