Sagitta

The SagittaItinerary
Deck plan

Our flagship, S/S "Sagitta", is a splendid, 120 foot, 3-masted Tall Ship.

Built in Sweden, she carries 16 passengers in ten air-conditioned cabins. All cabins are designed with one double lower and one single upper berth and private bathrooms. The most outstanding features of this vessel are her looks, her space, safety and stability.

Facilities on board include a library/video lecture-room, an upper-deck salon/bar, a shaded "al-fresco" dining area aft and an ample upper deck for lounging, birding, watching dolphins off the bowsprit or stargazing. "Sagitta" boasts five different, isolated public areas!

-And last but not least, your crew!

Gentle, amiable and very professional, they will impress you as those "that made the difference".
