Caribbean

We sail between the islands in short passages, anchoring in sheltered bays and coves along the way. Some days are about catching the trade winds and getting involved with the sails; others are made for snorkelling, exploring ashore or stretching an afternoon at a beach bar. You can learn from the captain, take the helm or simply enjoy the ride. The route stays flexible, shaped by the weather, the sea and the crew.

Tortola — palm-lined beaches, Caribbean rhythms and sheltered bays to ease into the week. Norman Island — pirate legends, sea caves, clear water and tropical fish. Cooper Island — reef snorkelling, laid-back beach vibes and cocktails by the water. The Baths, Virgin Gorda — giant granite boulders, hidden pools, caves and white-sand beaches. Jost Van Dyke — beach bars, cold drinks, White Bay and the famous Soggy Dollar Bar. Sandy Spit — a tiny sandy island with a few palms, turquoise water and little else to do but enjoy it.

Get involved with the sailing, learn to handle the sails or take the helm with the captain. Dive into clear water, snorkel the reefs, explore Norman Island's caves or join a freediving masterclass. At The Baths, scramble between giant boulders and swim through hidden pools. Go ashore for a beach bar, swim to the Soggy Dollar for a Painkiller, or see the Atlantic swell roll into the Bubbly Pool. A little sailing, a lot of water, and just enough mischief.

Our home for the week is a fully equipped sailing catamaran, built for comfortable days at sea and nights at anchor. Four cabins and three outdoor areas — the cockpit, deck and upper level — give the crew room to gather, spread out and enjoy the view. Inside, there's a salon and equipped kitchen with a fridge, freezer, cooker and oven, plus hot and cold water, air conditioning and a generator
