Slow Sailing Across Cebu & the Visayas
A relaxed passage across turquoise waters — Camotes, Kalanggaman, Bantayan, Malapascua. Island living and barefoot luxury, discovered through a slower, more intentional way to travel.
| The Experience
Island living, at a pace that suits it.
A relaxed sailing passage across Cebu and the Visayas, built around exploration and barefoot luxury rather than a fixed checklist of stops. Camotes, Kalanggaman, Bantayan, and Malapascua unfold in turn, each reached the slow way — aboard CILYC's private trimaran, where the crossing between islands is as much the experience as the islands themselves.
Cuatro Islas
Four islets and a single sandbar, set in open water far from any crowd.
What defines the drift

Camotes Island
Hidden lagoons, limestone caves with cool underground pools, and quiet coastal roads built for slow exploration.
Experience Highlights
Kalanggaman Island
A sweep of fine white sand for beaching, beach volleyball, and barbecue evenings as the light turns gold.
Malapascua
Gateway to some of the country's most storied dive sites, and the marine life that draws divers from around the world.
The Vessel & Crew
The entire vessel, private to you — captain, crew, fuel, and a licensed expedition guide throughout.
