Monara achievements and plans...


On July 1st, 2021, Monara left the comfort of the Antwerp harbour, for an  expedition around the world. See our Stories menu to get an insight in the past adventures.  

With a crew of family and friends, we continue to learn from different cultures, reconnect with nature, explore and submerge in marine and land/urban life.

With a safe range of 1500 NM, Monara travels the world in small steps. After two years, those small steps have brought this old lady all the way to South East Alaska, eager for more...
