Accommodation
The Yacht: Hammerhead II
Hammerhead II is a spacious yacht launched in 2019 and is 43 m long. With her generous design, spread across 5 decks, she can host up to 30 guests in twin cabins, deluxe cabins and suites. There are 8 twin cabins on the Lower Deck, 6 deluxe twin cabins on the Upper Deck and 2 Suites also on the Upper Deck, all with private bathrooms and AC.
The food served on board is stunning, with a focus on delicious and high-quality meals, and the handpicked experienced crew will always go that extra mile to ensure your happiness. A choice of indoor and outdoor dining, along with a cozy indoor saloon, ensures that your experience onboard Hammerhead II will be truly extraordinary!
Solo Travelers
Guests traveling alone who choose shared accommodation will be paired with another participant, as many people attend the retreat solo and enjoy sharing both to reduce costs and to embrace a sense of community. Shared cabins may require some flexibility, as bed sizes can vary depending on the cabin layout. If uninterrupted sleep is a priority, a single supplement is recommended, or guests may choose to travel with a friend and share a twin cabin.
Smoking Policy
Smoking is permitted only in designated areas away from non-smokers. Guests are encouraged to be mindful and considerate of others, in keeping with the wellness-focused nature of the retreat.

Day 2
The first morning on the boat will begin with a delicious breakfast served to you by a chef and his team. Following this, the cruise director will give a welcome briefing as you start sailing to your first destination and let the journey begin.
Day 3 to 6
The next four days, you spend out at sea between different beautiful islands and reefs. Together with instructors and guides, you enjoy yoga, meditation, snorkelling and diving – this is the perfect combination to create the most joyful escape, sailing around the north of the Red Sea.
Day 7
It is now the end of the week, and time to head back to the marina. But don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy this day! The yacht will arrive at the marina in the afternoon, where you will have time to explore the local area, and you will have your last night onboard.
Day 8
Today is the checkout day. It is time to say goodbye to all the new friends you have made during the week, and a final thanks to the crew. Check out from the cabins is at 09:00 and from the Majestic at 15:00. Don’t forget to let your host know if you would like to pre-arrange your transfer.
Sailing & Sea Conditions
Sailing on the Red Sea is generally calm, and seasickness is unlikely. However, seasickness medication is available on board if needed. The yacht sails between destinations but anchors regularly, allowing plenty of time to rest and enjoy the surroundings.
Swimming, Snorkelling and Ocean Activities
Guests are free to explore reefs and deserted islands along the route, swim directly from the boat, or use RIB boats for easy access to shore. Participation in swimming or snorkelling is completely optional, and guests may also choose to relax on board, sunbathe, read, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the sea.
Marine Life Encounters
Dolphins and other marine life are abundant in the Red Sea, and sightings of dolphin pods are highly likely. The experienced crew knows the areas where dolphins frequently play and interact, making encounters very common.
Yoga and Meditation
Yoga and meditation sessions are suitable for all levels, including complete beginners. Participation is optional, and guests are encouraged to join as many or as few sessions as feels right for them. The retreat is designed to support personal comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment.
Included excursions
- Visiting deserted islands in the Red Sea
- Guided snorkelling
- Sea life encounters, including dolphins and turtles
