Tip Top IV MOTOR BOAT

The Tip Top IV is the flagship of the Tip Top Fleet, and is the newest and most luxurious of the fleet operating since 2006.

The Tip Top IV runs an interesting alternating itinerary - one week to the north/west islands, one week covering the south and central area. These itineraries can also be combined into a comprehensive 15 day trip!

“Having spent 8 days aboard I can thoroughly recommend this yacht – paying the extra compared to some other First Class options was well worth it in the end.” (Julian Pickering, UK)
