Ship information Island Solitude

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAILING YACHT – ISLAND SOLITUDE

She carries 12 guests and we have chartered her for our group exclusively. When she was built in British Columbia in 2017 they had the environment in mind. For example, the yacht's motors exceed the EPA's (environmental protection agency) Emisson Standards.  At the on-deck wheelhouse the group can share delicious meals while enjoying the beautiful vistas with panoramic views! The waters are calm and easy to maneuver in and it is a great experience to view nature and wildlife this close to the surface.
