Finding Giants

Take a leisurely morning sail along Sri Lanka’s charming southern coastline and have an opportunity to see iconic blue and sperm whales as you venture further out to sea. Dolphins, turtles and other marine biodiversity can also be sighted. Following the cruise, the yacht will be anchored at Weligama Bay, where guests are welcome to swim in the ocean or try stand-up paddle boarding in calm waters to make it a fun day out on the water.

Lounge & Lookout

On the catamaran-style yacht, there’s plenty of space to relax with the added comfort of sailing with a trained team. Breakfast and lunch are cooked fresh onboard.
