The wooden deck gleams as the ketch slips away from Port Marina Vela and the city’s skyline recedes into a ribbon of rooftop tiles and cranes. Salt air pushes against the hull, the twin masts catching a steady Mediterranean breeze that seems to dare you to let go. Guests arrange themselves on forward mattresses, toes finding rhythm with the sea while the skipper trims sails and invites novices to take the wheel.

Bring non-slip shoes
Decks can be wet; low-profile, non-marking, non-slip footwear improves grip and comfort when moving around the boat.
Sun protection is a must
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses—glare off the water intensifies UV exposure even on overcast days.
Motion-sickness preparedness
If prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and choose a mid-deck seat where motion is less pronounced.
Pack light and dry
Bring a small dry bag for valuables and a light windbreaker; space is limited and weather can change on open water.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the marine environment during sun-exposed sails.
