Despite its comparatively large size, the maximum capacity is just 20 guests, meaning the 13 suites are all very spacious and contain en-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, private balconies and a Jacuzzi. There are also plenty of social areas spread throughout the vessel to enjoy, including two lounges, a library, a sundeck and a full-service spa.
The inclusions are another feature that sets the vessel apart. All snorkelling, kayaking and stand-up-paddle boarding equipment, including wetsuits, is complimentary. As are entrance fees, internet access, meals, non-alcoholic drinks, selected alcoholic drinks, laundry service, butler service and access to the VIP area at the airport upon departure (restrictions and exemptions apply).
