About Classic Sailing Yacht KAORI

KAORI is a classic sailing schooner offering immersive expeditions across the Pacific Northwest and Central America. Her four cabins accommodate guests in comfort whilst her permanent crew of five, including an expert naturalist and classically trained chef, attends to every detail. The vessel combines traditional sailing heritage with modern amenities including heated covered flybridge, hot tub, and three distinct dining spaces.

The yacht's extensive water-sports collection—from kayaks and skiffs to scuba equipment and kiteboards—enables active exploration of remote locations. Summer seasons bring guests to Alaskan waters where glacier calving, breaching humpback whales, and hunting orca pods define the experience. Winter charters venture to Costa Rica's coastlines, where bald eagle nesting sites and biodiverse rainforests create equally compelling natural theatre.

Highlights

  • Alaskan summer expeditions featuring glacier exploration, breaching humpbacks, and orca sightings from the heated flybridge
  • Expert naturalist crew providing wildlife tracking and indigenous cultural interpretation
  • Chef-led menus incorporating fresh local ingredients across three separate dining venues
  • Comprehensive water-toys selection including kayaks, skiffs, scuba gear, and Sea Scooters for independent exploration

The Charter Experience

Charter KAORI through the Inside Passage and glacier-fed inlets of Alaska, where you kayak amongst icebergs and enjoy cocktails crafted from million-year-old glacial ice. The naturalist guides wildlife encounters and shares indigenous knowledge of the region's ecosystems. Alternatively, winter sailings to Costa Rica present rhythm-rich days of coastal exploration punctuated by alfresco dining on the fantail, with opportunities to hike, kayak, and spot nesting raptors. Throughout, the crew's five-country culinary training ensures locally sourced menus that reflect each destination's character.

Suggested Itinerary

A seven-day Costa Rica charter typically encompasses protected anchorages along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, with daily kayaking and skiff expeditions into mangrove systems, beach landings for hiking, and evening bald eagle watching. Flexibility allows the captain to respond to wildlife sightings whilst the crew manages all logistics, from meal preparation featuring regional produce to scuba operations in clear tropical waters.
