The Concept: Sail and Ride

These specialized cruises cater to autonomous riders who can confidently handle their equipment in varying conditions.

  • Protected waters ideal for all skill levels
  • Consistent wind conditions throughout the season
  • Crystal-clear waters reminiscent of tropical destinations
  • Pristine white sand beaches

  3. Midday exploration of hidden coves
  4. Afternoon riding session
