Our new concept is as simple as it is attractive. Introducing you during your very valuable vacations into the exclusive live of yachting. Assembling your trip the way you want. In a breathtaking world of white, clean beaches, crystal clear waters, stunning landscapes. Oh, you like it even more than you could imagine? Then you stay a day longer. We design holidays for explorers not for tourists.
Our Chef prepares your own catch of the day exactly the way you like your fish the most.
You like to play one golf-course twice? Of course, our on-board team is solving all your requests silently and efficiently.
Most of people can only dream about such an experience. And this for a very attractive and affordable price!
In close cooperation with our engine-manufacturer, Weichai Group, we decided which of their Marine Engines would match our expectations in performance, power, speed, but also in terms of environmental responsibility. They delivered us the perfect package for our Princess Katharine and I would like to thank them for their incredible support, professional advice and service. With a light Diesel fuel consumption of 18 litres per hour we achieve a record low result. About 3 times lower than the usually operated Maritime heavy waste Diesel engines.
Of course we pay also much more for our fuel, but the nature is such an important part of the excitement of our tours, we cannot protect the air, the water and the beaches enough. Sitting outside on one of our decks while cruising, you will have no smell of the exhaust at all. All you breath is the indescribable fresh sea-breath or the wonderful salty wind into your face.
We operate our cruises with a Waste-Water system. Meaning, we don’t release waste-water near these wonderful white beaches. We are happy to have the privilege to approach and visit these untouched islands. It is our duty to protect them. Marina-Clubs for luxury Yachts are accepting anyway in the meantime only Ships with a Waste-Water system. Therefore the Princess Katharine can enter any of these high class private Marina’s.
Still we can do more. As soon as we used up our plastic mineral-water bottles we will replace them with glass bottles. Soon we will serve our drinks with carton straws instead of plastic.
Our crew is instructed to leave beaches we visited for BBQ, Chilling or Parties completely clean-up. And of course we ask our Passengers to support us in our efforts too.
