Adventure

Wildlife & Marine

Encounters that change you

What to Expect

A yacht puts you in the path of the ocean's greatest spectacles. Swim alongside whale sharks in the Maldives, watch humpback whales breach from your sundeck in Tonga, snorkel with manta rays at cleaning stations, or witness sea turtles nesting on a deserted beach. These are not zoo encounters - they are wild, unscripted moments in the animals' own territory.

Whale watching from the yacht (humpback, sperm, orca)
Swimming with whale sharks and manta rays
Sea turtle nesting and hatching excursions
Shark diving (reef sharks, hammerheads, great whites)
