Choose your adventure
Our trips set sail with a minimum of 5 guests on board. Not enough people yet ? We'll round out the crew with fellow sea lovers. And if you'd rather have the boat all to yourselves, there's always private charter.
More than a boat,
a living heritage.
There is only one Izenah III. Design number 11 by Dick Carter, the American architect who revolutionised sailing in the 1960s. Custom-built at the Maas yard in Breskens, the Netherlands, and launched on 29 May 1970.
Two-time French Champion, selected for the 1971 Admiral's Cup on the French national team alongside Pen Duick III by Tabarly and Gitana V by the Rothschild family. Then fifteen years sailing around the world before being found in Martinique by the Righezza family, restored over seven years and granted maritime heritage status in 2017.
