Which yacht suits your group?
Up to 12 people fit the boutique yacht. With 13 to 15, take the premium yacht: the top deck is wider, so there is room to dry off in the sun between swims.
Either way the yacht is only yours. Tell us when you book how many swims you want and whether anyone in the group is a less confident swimmer; the crew plans the stops around that.
