There are countless ways to discover Odesa: strolling through its historic center, listening to stories about its legendary courtyards, admiring its beautiful architecture, or soaking up the atmosphere in charming cafés and winding streets. But there’s one experience no visit to the city is truly complete without. Because Odesa begins with the sea.
“Palmyra by the Sea” is designed for those who want to discover Odesa from its most beautiful and unforgettable perspective — from the water. This is much more than a simple yacht or boat trip. It’s an opportunity to experience the Black Sea as an essential part of the city’s soul, with the wind in your hair, sunlight dancing on the waves, endless horizons, fresh sea air, and that irresistible sense of freedom that makes Odesa so special.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape, a memorable celebration, or a unique corporate outing, there’s a maritime adventure to suit every occasion. Imagine a leisurely sailing cruise, an exhilarating speedboat ride, swimming in the open sea, a guided sightseeing cruise, a romantic sunset photo session, or even a real sailing regatta filled with teamwork, excitement, and friendly competition.
We carefully select the right yachts and boats for your individual requirements, considering your group size, preferred experience, trip duration, and desired itinerary. Every vessel has its own features, from passenger capacity and onboard comfort to available routes, weather restrictions, swimming opportunities, catering options, and additional services. Rather than simply offering whatever happens to be available, we create a personalized experience at sea that perfectly matches your group’s wishes.
