Expansive Views, Thoughtful Exploration

Tip Top V is purpose-built for the traveler who likes a little more elbow room with their exploration. The yacht’s guest-friendly layout keeps movement simple, while expansive viewing areas hold the horizon steady for birding and sea-life spotting. Ashore, small groups and story-driven naturalist guiding turn lava, light, and behavior into moments you will remember. Back on board, the rhythm is measured: rinse, refuel, compare sightings, and watch the evening color spill across the Pacific.

If you value contemporary comfort, naturalist-led discovery, and calm, clear days on the water, Tip Top V fits like a well-kept field journal.
