The art of travelling with respect

The Fair Trade Travel™ company

Eric, Flamingo I & Letty

The Eric, the Flamingo I and the Letty are identical motor yachts built in 1990. The interiors are of polished teak wood, and picture windows on the upper two decks offer panoramic views. Each boat has a sun deck, bar, dining room and library, and the cabins have individual climate controls.
 
We regards these yachts very highly, as they have obtained the 'Smart Voyager' certificate for excellence in conservation and environmental responsibility, and they are small (20 passengers) yet have two very good naturalist guides on board.
 
NOTE: On the following dates in 2009, Tribes is able to offer a superb discounted rate for these sister yachts.
August 30-Sept 6; Sep 6 - Sept 13; Sept 13 - Sept 20 and Sept 20 - Sept 27
If interested, please call us quickly to reserve a place as we are expecting these to be snapped up quickly.
