The art of travelling with respect

The Fair Trade Travel™ company

Alta

The Alta is a stylish yacht with tastefully decorated cabins and saloon. You can enjoy fine food on the Alta either in the dining salon or on the foredeck, and there are many places for relaxing or enjoying the sun. In appropriate conditions the sails may be hoisted, but please note that this happens fairly infrequently.
