Then, down to Whitehaven Beach, where students can partake in beach games in the white silica sands - some of the purest natural sands of this composition in the world!
Onboard waterslide, spa and SUPs
The Mega Yacht Educational Charter is an undeniably fun vessel, boasting an array of water toys at your disposal. Anchor and enjoy the use of the inflatable giant waterslide and stand-up paddleboards!
