Journeys
Sri Lanka, From the Sea.
Private Journeys
There is another way to experience Sri Lanka.
Step aboard your own private catamaran and leave the road behind. Sail slowly along the island’s most beautiful coastlines with your own crew, your own chef and the freedom to set the pace.
Spend the day swimming in hidden bays, snorkelling over reefs, watching dolphins at sunrise or simply enjoying the coastline unfold around you. Anchor where others pass by. Dine beneath the stars. Wake to a new horizon.
Whether travelling as a couple, a family or a group of friends, our private journeys offer a rare opportunity to experience Sri Lanka as it was first encountered: from the sea.
The Cinnamon Coast
The south coast, one bay at a time.
The south coast is a tapestry of hidden coves, surf breaks, fishing communities, coral reefs and historic ports. Best experienced slowly, this is a journey of discovery, connection and life lived close to the ocean. Choose from journeys designed for couples, families and groups of friends.
