Breath-taking Sunsets

Late afternoon we anchor for the night and take the dinghy ashore to visit towns or beaches. Each crew member learns how to operate the dinghy and is encourage to explore new places ashore. Your captain is familiar with the islands and can offer suggestions about activities, night life, and restaurants. This is a great vacation for everyone and creates a unique bonding experience for all.

More Than Sailing

While sailing is by far the most popular activity in the BVIs, amazing underwater sights -- tropical fish, sea turtles, and rays -- make snorkeling or SCUBA diving a must. Everything is easy here. Many dive spots are accessible by snorkelers, snorkel gear is available for everyone, and certified SCUBA divers can pick up their dive gear at the dock, prior to departure. Slip beneath the waves and you will discover a paradise of living reefs, mysterious shipwrecks, and colorful coral gardens.

Life Aboard Our Yacht

The boat becomes your home... that you share with a group of people who quickly become family. This is the most valuable part of the experience, because it deepens everything else. Our yacht sleeps eight -- two guests in each of four cabins with private heads. The salon and galley are shared areas. Like camping, space is limited, but comfortable. Cabins for singles are grouped by gender and sleep two. You could even sleep under the stars on the main deck.

Prepare to Weigh Anchor

As a crew member you raise anchor and give the signal that the boat is free. Next you prepare to set sail. Your fellow crew member at the helm is busy turning the boat out of the harbor and receiving a course and heading from the navigator. As crew you will learn the three primary positions of the boat and stand watch. Everyone participates in sailing the yacht.

Teen Caribbean Sailing is an unforgettable summer sailing adventure for teenagers.
