Sail in the Windward Islands

This January we will be sailing south from Antigua through the Windward Islands to the southernmost tip of the Caribbean Islands – Grenada, the Spice Isle.

Sailing roughly 310nm stopping off in anchorages and harbours of islands such as Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, The Tobago Cays, St Vincent and the Grenadines.

You will very much be involved in the sailing, helming and general running of the yacht including the cooking. You will be grouped into a watch when you first board the yacht. There may be some warm tropical night sailing providing an opportunity to do some star gazing in a sky free of light pollution.

The Yacht

The Yacht is a 72ft Challenger Yacht. She sails beautifully and has sailed around the world twice.

She does require team work so it is hoped you would be keen to get stick in with everything on board. That said the skipper, mate and two watch leaders could sail the boat by themselves so if you wanted to just kick back and watch the pelicans plummet into the sea for fish and the world go by then you can!

Accommodation

Down below is a big light saloon and galley, navigation station, two heads with showers. There is good refrigeration on board and a water maker so plenty of showers will be available.

The accommodation is arranged towards the stern of the boat in areas of 2 and 5 comfy bunks.

Dates and Prices

The dates and prices of the trips are TBC.

Included in the price is insurance and all food on board. If you would like to pay a deposit of £500 to secure your place use code CARIB4282 for trip 1 and CARIB4283 for trip 2 when checking out.

Flights are not included. Have a look here skyscanner.

If doing the first trip then generally, flights into Antigua would mean you would arrive at the yacht early evening.

You would need to depart the yacht in Grenada by 10am on TBC.

If doing the second trip you should aim to join the yacht in Grenada on the afternoon of TBC and should plan to depart in Antigua by 10am on TBC
