4 SUBMERSIBLE DIVING IN
THE MEDITERRANEAN
From Roman wrecks to sunken Grecian
cities, the Mediterranean’s seabed is
awash with historic sites. Destinations
such as Malta and Italy have long been
popular for yacht charters, but the new
way to explore is with a submersible
onboard. Steered by Cookson pilots,
these 2-to-7 seater vessels give the
freedom to search the waters for
shipwrecks carpeted in crustaceans and
historic sites that have only recently been
discovered. A submersible is the perfect
viewing platform to spot life beneath
the waves and to truly appreciate the
beautiful marine life our oceans offer.
3 THE REVILLAGIGEDO ARCHIPELAGO,
THE ‘SUPERHIGHWAY’ OF THE PACIFIC
Over 250 miles south from of Baja California lies the
Revillagigedo Archipelago, four little-known islands
of volcanic origin and exquisite underwater activity.
Known as the ‘superhighway’ of the Pacific Ocean,
some of the planet’s most majestic sea creatures ride
its currents. Observe manta ray mass migrations and
help scientists monitor sharks and contribute to the
conservation of the precious ecosystem.

5 YACHT EXPEDITION TO THE
ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
Being the highest, driest and windiest
continent on Earth, Antarctica is a city
of icebergs. An expedition yacht with
helicopter and submersible on board
offers the best vantage point to view this
extraordinary environment. Join leading
scientists in climate and wildlife research
and learn more about a continent that has
changed the way we view our evolving
world. Visit the Vernadsky Research Station,
where long-term climate trends are studied.
Every day aboard a yacht here will be
different as you witness the ever-changing
elements and the concentrations of wildlife.
