Charter the Ta Chiao Scorpio 72: A 22m Traditional Ketch in Cannes

Discover the Ta Chiao Scorpio 72, a majestic 1991 composite ketch sailboat available for charter in Cannes. This 72-foot (22m) vessel is renowned for its traditional Asian craftsmanship, featuring vast expanses of hand-carved teak and holly that create a warm, luxurious interior atmosphere.
