The "Tarin" is the boat used on this tour and is a two-masted yacht , 23m long and 6 m wide. Her 10 cabins are all above the water level. Five cabins have a double bed (140cm wide) and two of those feature an additional bunk bed. The other cabins have two separate bunks that may be aligned beside each other or on two levels. The fore sundeck measures 40 m2, the upper deck even 60 m2. Together with the large saloon, captain Nevio’s "Tarin“ offers ample space to her passengers.
We use a German operator for these holidays, and as other agents in Europe and America, such as ourselves, sell these tours it is likely you will have a mix of German and other nationalities on this tour adding to the cultural enjoyment.
