    Why sailing yacht?
    Why is it better to go on a yacht than on a cruise ship?
    The main thing about of our expedition is that we go in a small group on our own ship, and we can fully control the route and adjust it in accordance with the wishes of the guests to reach our goals. If someone wants to shoot walruses or seals longer, or watch whales passing by, he can always do it.
    Everyone will be able to be solely with nature, take plenty of pictures of animals and get an individual approach in everything. In addition, each guest will be able to get acquainted with the structure of the ship, stand at the helm, turn the winches and feel like a real sailor!
    But the most important thing in any ship is the crew. We are one hundred percent sure that the ship's crew will be able to provide not only a safe and comfortable navigation, but will also help us in fulfilling our most complex and ambitious tasks!
