“Push Your Boundaries and Expand Your Comfort Zone”
*Important note before you join:
Forget the relaxing boat cruise tour. This expedition is not just about sailing; it's also a journey of self-discovery. Push your boundaries and expand your comfort zone as you navigate the open waters. Learn to adapt to changing conditions, work closely with your fellow crew members, and discover the strength within you.

This non-profit, independent expedition company is renowned for its unique, mission-driven voyages that are as much about storytelling and content creation as they are about adventure.
In collaboration with Katapult Future Fest 2024, we invite you to set sail with us, contribute to meaningful change, and experience the beauty and transformative power of the open sea.
