FROM MALTA TO THE ADRIATIC

This varied sailing voyage is ideal for those who like longer distances and at the same time appreciate a relaxed life on board. From Malta the Kairós sails north to the coast of Apulia, the heel of the Italian boot, which you pass near Brindisi.

Along the way there are quiet hours on deck, the steady glide under sail and plenty of time to relax. The course continues across the Adriatic to Cavtat, the charming coastal town near Dubrovnik.

EXTRA INFORMATION

LIFE ON BOARD

The Kairós is a 38-metre steel staysail schooner, built in 2007 in the style of a classic yacht and designed by Klaus Röder. She carries 556 m² of sail and sails as a passenger ship under the Maltese flag. A permanent crew of six (captain, mate-engineer, bosun, cook and two stewardesses) looks after the ship and after you. With eight cabins and at most twelve guests it feels like sailing on a large private yacht. Six A cabins of 10 to 11 m² have a fixed double bed and a private bathroom with shower cubicle; the two B cabins of 8 to 9 m² have a small double bed or bunk beds and a private bathroom with classic yacht shower. Every cabin has adjustable air conditioning, a wardrobe, towels and a hair dryer. On deck there is plenty of room to sit and sunbathe, below deck a cosy saloon with bar. This voyage has somewhat longer sailing legs, but also time to swim from the ship and go ashore. You can lend a hand with the manoeuvres or simply watch, just as you like.

WHO IS THIS VOYAGE FOR

For those who enjoy covering some distance under sail, but also want to enjoy bays, harbours and a comfortable life on board. No sailing experience is needed.
