Laurin Ocean Cruiser
Sailing Yacht Aprilia (1964) – 56ft. (17m) Ketch, Long keel
Welcome aboard Aprilia! 🙂
Shall we set sail?
Fancy a cruise aboard a classic wooden yacht? You’ve come to the right place! We offer you a magnificent voyage on an ocean-going ketch – Aprilia. This yacht was designed and built in 1963 by the renowned Swedish naval architect Arvid Laurin, and crafted entirely from the finest quality mahogany. She’s the only one of her kind in the world.
What’s it like sailing with us?
Individual cruises and voyages differ in route, attractions, and general organisation, as our plans largely depend on the group’s needs and preferences. These include recreational and family trips, tourist voyages, as well as leisurely, therapeutic, anti-depression, and artistic expeditions.

Antico Classico
Sailing Unlike the Rest
Sailing a beautiful mahogany yacht is completely different from typical plastic tourist boats. These cruises may be somewhat less comfortable, but they provide more sailing knowledge, experiences, and beautiful memories. The atmosphere aboard naturally suits all those who want to spend time in pleasant and inspiring surroundings – surrounded by stunning landscapes, azure waters, and bustling harbours.

Remote Coastlines
Sometimes, when you’re tired of crowds and urban attractions, it’s good to find balance in a quiet cove. Fortunately, not all of them are accessible from land. Silence, warm turquoise water, and sunshine can work wonders 🙂
