Private Yacht Sailing

Embracing the Wind, Navigating the Island's Waters
Experience the gentle art of yacht sailing, moving peacefully across the water, propelled only by the wind.
In the profound quiet, free from the hum of an engine, the sound of the waves, the subtle shifts of the breeze, and the majestic contours of the island feel closer and more intimate than ever.

Join Ama-based world renowned master sailor Howard Rice for a private, small-group sailing journey. Beginners are warmly welcomed. Should you desire, we invite you to take the helm—to hold the tiller and feel the profound connection of steering the vessel yourself.

For those who wish to dive deeper into the discipline of sailing, learning to read the wind and master boat handling, a comprehensive 7-hour lesson course is also available.
