Life is an adventure, not a package tour!
Participatory, experiential small group travel allows you to see places from a new perspective! We take care of logistics but without scheduling your activities, allowing you to take your own lead rather than follow an umbrella. We don't tell you where to eat, either-- go discover your own family-run tavern.
A love for travel, and a career in the business, led to my obtaining captain's licenses in Greece and Croatia, and taking friends sailing around the world for more than 20 years.
My Philosophy
I believe being an active part of a crew while exploring your own path, is not only more immersive, it's more rewarding. While we visit some 'must-see' places, we also have experiences and visit places cruise ships and buses can't.
“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”

Two great islands just eight miles apart, one part of France, the other part of Italy, yet semi-autonomous with independent cultures! In between lie the beautiful islands of the protected La Maddalena Reserve.

A 'slow travel' sentiment that is true anywhere:
"If you only have a week or so in Italy my advice is not to try to see too much. Rather settle into one region and savour the nuances and rhythms of life in your chosen corner." -- Andrew Smith, My Italy
