ENJOY SUMMER IN WINTER

Two weeks full of walks on alabaster beaches shadowed by coconut palms, swimming in turquoise waters, original Caribbean rum, and, of course, great yachting in the waters of pirates of the Caribbean.

After setting sails from island Martinique, we will head to the south toward magical island Saint Lucia. During sailing on its west coast, we will make trips to its jungle heart to see rich fauna and flora, sulfur springs, or to enjoy the local unforgettable relaxing atmosphere full of sounds of reggae, white Caribbean rum, and eternal warm temperature.

One sailing day from Saint Lucia vulcanic island Saint Vincent awaits us. Trek on top of its active volcano is an absolute must. We will also visit shooting sites for Pirates of the Caribbean movies or take a bath in the island's rock waterfalls.

It is also possible to rent a car on islands and explore their inland when decided to. We can also visit local distilleries for original superior Caribbean rum degustation.

South of Saint Vincent coral islands of Grenadines will welcome us. Tiny sandy islands, which we will have just for us. Snorkeling among coral reefs or with green sea turtles will convince us that we visited paradise on Earth.

This sailing trip is for anyone, who likes active holidays.

No previous experience with sailing needed.

General information

NUMBER OF BERTHS

Sail trip is open for individuals and groups up to the maximum capacity of the sailboat. This is usually 7 people (plus skipper). In the case of a larger group, we can rent a boat for up to 11 people (plus skipper).

PLACE OF EMBARKATION AND DISEMBARKATION

The exact place of embarkation will be specified according to the availability of boats in time of order. It will most likely be the island of Martinique, which will be also the place of disembarkation.

HOW TO GET (FROM) THERE

For traveling from Europe to the Caribbean we will use air connection. The price of a return ticket to Martinique ranged in 2018 from 600 do 900 EUR/person.

Transport to/from the place of departure/arrival takes place individually or in a group, according to crew decision. If not stated otherwise, travel expenses (except by our sailboat) are not included in the price.

We will be happy to provide you with more information on this topic. In case of interest, we are also able to arrange tickets for a fee.

FOOD AND COOKING

Expenses for food are very low in the Caribbean. Usually around 10 €/person/day.

On our sailing trips, everyone contributes to the operation of the boat. And cooking is not an exception. Every crew member takes his turn in the galley, and we are happy to learn beginners to some cooking skills and basic recipes.

In advance of the sailing trip, the menu, concerning allergies and diets of participants, is set up by the crew. The daily menu usually consists of 3 meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with small snacks. The hot meal takes place at least once, but more often twice a day.

The crew makes provisions shopping on the day of embarkation. If the whole crew agrees, we can make the provisions shopping for a trip for a fee before your embarkation. For more information on catering see. FAQ.

During the trip, we also often sail by a good restaurant or two where we stop and eat.

For more information, visit the FAQ section.

ACCOMMODATION

During the sailing trip, the crew is accommodated on the boat. The accommodation is in 3 cabins which have a double bed. (Depending on the terms of the boat rental, you may need your own sleeping bag, as bedding will not be part of the boat's equipment. However, this scenario is very unlikely.) Two places in the salon (living area) of the ship are also used for sleeping. One of these places is usually reserved for the captain. In the case of hot nights, we often sleep on deck under the night sky. (We try to put girls in a cabin with girls and vice versa, but when circumstances do not allow so, you might as well prepare yourself to share the cabin with one of the opposite sex. If this is an important topic for you, please let us know in advance.) Any accommodation before and after the trip must be arranged on its own.

There is also a spacious common area on the boat - salon, toilet with shower and galley (kitchen) equipped with fridge, gas cooker with oven, and most kitchen utensils. The ship is equipped with an electric heater in case of cold days. For a better idea, visit the page with a description and pictures of the ship HERE.

SAILING LEVEL

This sailing trip is possible to do for most travelers! No previous sailing experience is required. If you're a beginner, we want to turn you into a sailor as quickly as possible. If you are experienced you'll get challenges and responsibility that match your level. We want you to take part in the routines on board the sailboat, whether it is sailing, anchoring, navigating, washing up, cooking, clean the boat, or contribute in other ways when required.

Sailing conditions in the Caribbean are very mild, especially on the leeward side of the islands. But, during short one-day crossings between the islands, it is good to be prepared for more sporty yachting. For longer passages crews are also expected to cooperate actively in the management of the sailboat, communicativeness and a certain amount of mental and physical resistance is required.

EQUIPMENT

No special equipment is needed. Usually, you will be ok with standard equipment and clothes for a summer holiday by the sea. The list of mandatory and compulsory equipment will be sent after sail trip enrolment.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

For traveling in the Caribbean you need a valid passport. If not EU citizen or not sure, in your interest check with the embassy if you need a visa or other entry permit.

ENVIRONMENT and SUSTAINABILITY

Both sailing and backcountry trips are environmentally friendly activities and we sail as much as we can and use the engine as little as possible. We encourage crew and participants to travel as environmentally-friendly as possible, and we use local ingredients and resources as far as possible. We also motivate crew members to collect litter and clean ocean trash from beaches.

We believe that sailing is an exercise in sustainability; we move with the wind and we have limitations on things like water, diesel, electricity and food. In order to run sustainable - knowledge, patience, agility and hard work are required. The same can be said about many other things that one tries to do in a sustainable way.
