Life on board

Shaded sun deck with loungers on the Angelito yacht

Fully renovated in 2013, Angelito keeps the craftsmanship of a classic yacht, with a warm wooden interior, a dining room, a well-lit bar terrace and four outdoor terraces to relax between island visits. It always cruises with one of its owners at the helm. Two dinghies take guests ashore for landings and snorkeling.

Safety and equipment: two Cummins engines, two 110V/220V generators, radar, GPS, VHF and SSB radios, depth sounder and life jackets for every guest.
