Tropical Islands. Exotic Jungles. The Panama Canal.
Experience It All in Yacht Style
Natural and man-made wonders combine in this exotic region where you are an explorer by day with cocktails on the fantail of your casually elegant small ship by night. Costa Rica is one of the most ecologically diverse places on earth over landscapes of rainforest, lakes, cloudforests, volcanoes, and more, boasting an impressive variety of wildlife. Learn more about their history, flora and fauna from a local Naturalist on board and transit the massive Panama Canal during daylight hours. Against all this colour and adventure, your white small ship rests at anchor awaiting your return from a delightful day of exploring.
