Unique Accommodation Conditions

The ship in Torbay is an exact replica of the famous Golden Hind that was captained by Sir Francis Drake. Although the ship does not leave the harbor, it sways with the waves at the shore, creating the feeling of being at sea.

On board, there are two cabins: one with a double bed and the other with bunk beds.

The ship is equipped with a 60-inch smart TV and a DVD player, and Wi-Fi is available on the premises. There is a large dining table, as well as three pirate “friends” ready to keep you company.
