Overview

The same boats, done at the top of the range. This is the largest felucca on the mooring, with a shaded saloon amidships, a real table laid with linen and glass, and a chef who cooks on board rather than reheating something brought from a kitchen.

Lunch runs to three courses: a mezze board with baba ghanoush, hummus and warm bread; a main of grilled sea bass or lamb kofta with rice and vegetables; and a dessert of om ali or fresh fruit with mint. It is served over about ninety minutes, at the pace of the sailing rather than the pace of a restaurant.

Three hours in total, entirely private. It is the boat to take when you want the felucca without the picnic.
