The company runs three primary trips designed for different preferences: the Semi-Private Day, Sailing Sunset, and Sailing Day. Each trip combines scenic cruising, swimming in sheltered coves, and onboard refreshments.
The Semi-Private Day is a seven-hour sailing excursion that visits private islands and the Blue Lagoon, and includes light snacks and beverages for guests.
