Sailing Sojourns

Our tall ship sailing experiences will become the public face of the company -- and will showcase our vision to explore and protect the oceans of the world. Our first unique component is to combine tall ship travel with ocean science research. We will integrate scientific research into every sail, which will provide meaningful data to study and understand the oceans. Our second unique component will be to offer interactive and thematic tall ship sails that focus on nautical history and ocean conservation. These two features our are business make us distinct and unique from our competitors.

Island & Coastal Adventures

As with the Sailing Sojourns, we will custom create nautically-themed island and coastal land adventures that highlight the nautical history and present of the locations where we travel. These will be custom-made, small group travel experiences that bring the local history and cultures alive, explore the nautical traditions of the past and the present, and enjoy the seas and waterways at each destination. Our travel experiences will begin in Maine, Hawaii, St. Lucia, and the Cook Islands, but will grow to more destinations around the world as the company matures.

Luxury Cruises

Small Ship Luxury Cruise Travel. We intentionally focus on the highest-quality and most exclusive small ship cruise experiences because of the quality of the cruises provided by these cruise lines. From service and onboard amenities to global destinations and shore excursions, small ship cruises give people a closer and more intimate experience with the seas and the destinations where they travel. We will highlight, market, and promote such companies that include Seabourn Cruises, Windstar Cruises, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, the SeaDream Yacht Club, Viking Ocean & River, and other cruise lines in the luxury cruise category.

Our geographical emphasis will be on tropical destinations that include the Caribbean, Pacific, and South Pacific regions for luxury cruises. This will help to focus our marketing and advertising efforts for travelers with a current or likely interest in these types of cruise experiences and destinations.

Boat Brokerage Services

Through POP Yachts, we will develop our client base in the used boat market in Arizona and across the U.S. Our CEO, Paul Hardersen, began working with these companies as an authorized regional sales representative in August 2020 and is steadily developing a growing customer base. With currently more than 900 clients who both buy and sell boats, this part of the company is already operating and developing the foundation for a growing income stream in future years.

Travel Agency Services

As a CCRA-accredited travel agency, we can offer consumers and businesses the full array of travel services through the United States and around the world. The advantages of CCRA affiliation include the backing of a well-known and respected organization, access to professional quality travel agency tools (CRM, booking services, etc.), and access to discounts that we can provide customers that cannot be found on the typical travel website.
