Below Decks


You’ll find twelve bunk beds in the cosy Focs’l (forward part of the ship). While sailing, this is the place where travellers have their accommodation. The Focs’l is accessed by going through a hatch and down a ladder.

The galley is situated on deck in front of the mizzen mast. It’s a cozy place to warm up with a hot drink, help with cooking, and enjoy conversation.
