Our experiences are designed as exclusive moments, far beyond a simple meal or a single night on board. Your booking invites you to discover INDEPENDENCE, an authentic historic vessel from 1969, lovingly restored, in an exceptional setting overlooking Grand-Case Bay.Unlike the often compact cabins of pleasure catamarans, INDEPENDENCE is a 24-meter vessel offering generous interior spaces, high ceilings, and more comfortable bathrooms. The cabins retain some features of their original design, and some do not have portholes. However, they have been conceived as quiet, intimate, and pleasant spaces for relaxation, while the full experience unfolds in the ship's numerous common areas.During your stay, you don't just enjoy your cabin. You also have access to the lounges, the outside decks and the various relaxation areas, where you can admire the bay, have breakfast, read, share a drink or simply enjoy the unique atmosphere of the ship.Whether you choose a gastronomic experience or a stay on board, you will benefit from a personalized welcome, attentive service and a deliberately limited capacity in order to preserve the calm, intimacy and exclusive character of the place.Staying aboard a ship also involves specific arrangements. The fresh water used on board is produced by our own desalination system, powered by an electric generator. The maintenance, operation, and preservation of a historic vessel require specialized equipment and constant attention. These elements are an integral part of the experience and allow us to welcome you in the best possible conditions.Every detail is designed to offer you a timeless escape, where maritime heritage, comfort, lifestyle and authenticity meet.Our ambition is not just to welcome you, but to give you a unique experience, on board a place steeped in history, which you will remember for a long time.
