Six hours. Two of the most extraordinary places in the Mediterranean. Yours alone.
There are two destinations on the northern coastline of Zakynthos that stop people in their tracks. The Shipwreck of Navagio — a rusting hull half-buried in white sand, enclosed by cliffs so sheer and white they look like they belong to another world. And the Blue Caves of Cape Skinari — carved into the limestone, open to the sea, where the light turns the water a shade of blue that has no name in any language.
This cruise takes you to both.
Your day begins at your accommodation. A private transfer brings you to the port of Zakynthos, where the Catalina is waiting. By 9:00 am you are on the water.
The order of the day, how long you spend at each location, and whether the skipper finds something else worth stopping for along the way — all of that is his call, shaped by the conditions on the morning. What is fixed is the destination. Navagio and the Blue Caves. Everything in between is the journey.
At Navagio the boat comes to within twenty metres of the shore. Close enough to take in every detail — the rusting hull, the white sand, the cliffs rising on three sides. You cannot land. The beach has been closed to visitors and the distance is kept. But standing on deck and looking in, you will not feel like you are missing anything. Some views are best taken from exactly where you are.
At the Blue Caves the boat slows and enters. The light filters through the water and the rock and turns everything around you an impossible shade of blue. There are swim stops here — inside the caves, in the clear water outside them, wherever the skipper finds the right spot. Take your time.
At 15:00 the Catalina returns to port. Your transfer takes you home.
M/Y Catalina — Italian Elegance on the Ionian
There is a particular kind of elegance that Italian design does effortlessly — clean lines, understated luxury, and a quality of finish that feels considered rather than showy. The Catalina is exactly that. Built by Cranchi, one of Italy’s most respected yacht makers, and fully refitted in 2020, she is a boat that balances performance with comfort in a way that very few vessels in this class manage. Fast enough to cover the coastline of Zakynthos with ease, unhurried enough to linger where it counts. On deck, the wide bathing platform and floating island invite you to take your drinks directly in the sea. A premium Bluetooth sound system means the soundtrack to your day is entirely your own. Below deck, two air-conditioned private cabins offer a level of comfort that turns a day cruise into something closer to a private retreat. Up to 8 guests. A crew of 2. And a boat that makes every stretch of the Ionian feel like it was made for you.
