Want to see the Kimberley the glamorous way? Try this three-mast ship
It’s easy to slip into the ebb and flow of a voyage up the Kimberley coast on a legendary yacht, especially when the Aperol spritzes are made with Veuve Clicquot.
Captain Jean-David Lemaire is bounding about the top deck of our three-mast ship in his spotless white bermudas and moccasins with all the frisky grace of a mountain goat. Us passengers, meanwhile, are leaning against the starboard gunwale beneath the front sail, feeling impossibly glamorous as we wave for the dozens and dozens of cameras and mobile phones clicking away at us.
