CILYC Signature Experiences

Nine Ways to
Sail the Philippines.

Every CILYC voyage is completely private — one vessel, your group, your schedule. From a golden-hour sunset cruise in El Nido to a week-long open-ocean expedition, each experience is all-inclusive, curated, and entirely yours.

Curated, Never Packaged

The journey is the luxury.

From a multi-day passage across remote Palawan to a single golden evening under sail, every CILYC experience begins the same way — with the sea, your wishes, and time made entirely your own. Explore each below, then begin a quiet conversation with our concierge.
