Yoga & Vela Experience has so much passion for their service and they put it at your disposal, for your happiness. The sailing yachts they use are always recent top models from the best shipyards. You will experience this holiday on a sailing boat of the latest generation, Oceanis 46.1 (2019). You will stay overnight on board in a double cabin including one night in port during the week.
The Oceanis 46 boasts all the features of a large cruising yacht with a rare balance between elegance, usable space, and performance. Her stepped hull opens up an incredible amount of space inside and yet her seakeeping performance is still impressive. A large number of clever customizable fittings make her easy to sail and pleasantly comfortable.
- Naval architect: Pascal CONQ
- Interior design: Nauta Design
- Deck design: Nauta Design
Exterior design
The Oceanis 46.1 is based on a Finot-Conq plan, keeping the distinctive stepped hull of the 51.1. Apart from her performance at sea and the huge amount of space that sets this boat apart, this architecture makes optimal use of the cockpit beam. An incredibly efficient deck plan makes her wonderfully safe and easy to use. The furling mast, self-tailing jib, and all the halyards and sheets brought back to a single winch at each of the helm stations make maneuvering simple when short-handed sailing.
Interior design
Large hull portholes bring a considerable amount of natural light right into the center of the boat so that you can truly enjoy the elegant interiors by Nauta Design. A choice of light brushed oak or mahogany set the tone and create the interior atmosphere, which can be readily customized.
Every style of cruising
Easy to sail, easy-going and fast, the Oceanis 46.1 can be customized to make her unique, appealing to a wide range of crews. Attention to design details makes life on board a real pleasure and you can sail confidently in the knowledge that she is safe.
Cockpit and relaxation
The Oceanis 46.1 has a very spacious cockpit with space for eight guests around a large table. There are two reclining sun loungers together with drinks holders on either side of the companionway. These can easily be lifted and brought forward onto the foredeck
Master suite
With unparalleled space on a boat this size, the master’s cabin has a shower room with a separate head, offering comfort worthy of a sailing yacht of much bigger proportions, with a 160-by-205-centimeter island bed.
Speed and sensations
With a longer mast, by one meter, a sail area increased by 28 percent, Harken deck fittings, and a deep lead-bulb keel to reduce drag, the First Line version of the Oceanis 46.1 is all set to offer unique cruising sensations.

Program
Yoga & Vela Experience does not like large numbers or noisy flotillas, they love to dedicate ourselves to you in small groups, wherein the intimacy of only 10/12 participants, they can establish a unique bond for a wonderful holiday. Their experiences are a great combination of yoga retreats and sea life. They will leave with people who have the same passions as them and return home with new friends. Every program goes from Saturday to Saturday.
You will meet at the departure marina at 2:00 p.m. to meet the crew, make the last purchases, and set sail in the afternoon for these beautiful adventures, circumnavigating beautiful islands aboard the latest generation of sailing yachts, equipped with all the comforts to make your holiday comfortable and regenerating. Yoga classes will be done in the morning or evening on land on the most beautiful beaches and will be guided by super certified teachers.
These classes are open to everyone, from beginners to more experienced practitioners. Days of sea, fun, and relaxation will follow with sailing that will take you to the most beautiful coves. The Tuscan archipelago offers several gulfs and bays with a crystal clear sea, populated by many fish. You will be immersed in the nature of these fabulous islands, let go of all your inner weight, and feel light and regenerated. In the evening, you can go ashore and visit the marinas with their characteristic markets and restaurants.
Night in the bay. Normally, there will be a stop in the port where you can stock up on food and water and spend the night moored at the quayside. Particular attention is paid to the cuisine with a diet based on organic products and fish and vegetarian recipes. The staff will make provisions for the galley before departure according to the food needs of the participants.
