WE SURPRISE AND DELIGHT

        One of the big benefits of our small yachts is how close they can get you to the types of authentic
        experiences you’re looking for. Smaller excursion groups, often led by local experts themselves,

        ensure deeper insider access behind intriguing local topics. Snorkel with whale sharks and dolphins
        off the coast of La Paz. Get closer with a kayak launched directly from the yacht on one of our
        Signature Expeditions in Alaska. Sample tree-to-bar Granadian chocolate as you explore a cacao

        farm in a former rum distillery. Our carefully curated onboard lecturers further deepen and
        enhance your experiences with insight into the region’s different cultures.
