Bermuda staysail schooner

Kairos

An intimate schooner for those who prefer the sea to the crowds

On board Kairos, it is the sailing that matters, not the timetable. You drop anchor wherever the evening looks its finest and let the day unfold as it feels. Anyone who wishes may take the helm and feel what it is like to steer a large yacht under sail. Everything is possible, nothing is required.

When the ship lies at anchor in a quiet bay at night, the stars stretch undisturbed above the deck. If you like, you can sleep on deck, catch the sunrise at first blink and then swim in the glittering sea.

At 38 metres in length and with no more than 12 guests, and up to 16 on some destinations, every voyage stays personal. Six experienced crew members look after the safety and wellbeing of guests, ensuring time that no one dictates and bays that remain closed to larger ships.

  • 6 Category A cabins (approx. 10 to 11 sqm) with double bed and private bathroom
  • 2 Category B cabins (approx. 8 to 9 sqm), individual in character, much like a private yacht
  • Air conditioning, hairdryer and 230V sockets in every cabin
  • 556 sqm of sail area, steel hull
  • Six-strong professional crew: captain, mate, bosun, private cook, 2 stewards
