Founding Principles
Ocean sailing carries real risk. Everything about how we operate is built to earn your trust before you ever step aboard.
Rigorous maintenance and documented safety equipment — shown openly, not just claimed.
Every process on board — from rigging checks to watch schedules — is transparent, so you can verify the operation before you commit to a berth.
Respect for crew, guests, and the ocean itself guides every decision we make, on board and on shore.
Gran Blau
Gran Blau is a 50-foot Belliure ketch, built and equipped for genuine offshore ocean voyaging. Owned and sailed around the Mediterranean since 2019, with an extensive refit carried out specifically to prepare her for true blue-water cruising.
