Carrying only eight passengers, this vessel offers not only intimacy but also excellent facilities. Suites come with either a private sun deck or a private cool-water plunge pool, and all suites have floor-to-ceiling windows and a minibar.
On the vessel’s top deck you’ll find an open terrace and a lounge with sofas. Ceiling fans help keep you cool.
