Life Is Different Aboard a Sailing Yacht
Meet Sisu — our sailing yacht built for adventure.
She’s an OVNI Alubat, constructed in France and known as the lifting-keel aluminum yacht. Take a look at stunning photos & videos from our adventures on Sisu Instagram page!
OVNIs are specially designed for Arctic conditions and built to withstand intensive use, making them the perfect choice for blue water sailing. In fact, the OVNI Alubat is also trusted by the French Navy! Accommodation will be on board the Ovni Alubat 495 yacht.
