learn-to-sail adventure in the caribbean

Offered November-April yearly

6-day adventure - $9,500

Arrive, tour the yacht, and move into your cabins.
Meet the captain to chat about the week and get a quick safety rundown.
Kids get excited picking crew roles (navigator, engineer, safety officer, snack boss! Etc.) for Monday.
Dinner ashore at a local spot and time to explore the island together.

Start with a family chat about boat jobs—everyone gets a turn to help!
Plot the day’s course as a team, then set sail with the captain’s guidance.
Learn how sails work (kids love pulling lines and taking the helm!) while cruising to a new spot.
Anchor and visit the famous swimming pigs—bring snacks to feed them and watch the kids giggle as pigs paddle up.

After a quick crew huddle, set sail, practicing what you learned yesterday.
Navigate to Coconut Beach, drop anchor, and dinghy ashore.
Swim in the lagoon, hike to the ocean side, or hunt coconuts to crack open for a tasty treat—perfect for curious little explorers.

Morning meeting to recap skills, then plot the course and sail to a snorkeling spot.
Snorkel a shipwreck or reef (or shallow beach for small kids—they’ll love it!).
If tides align, dinghy to Turtle Lagoon—sea turtles might swim right up to say hi!
Back on the yacht, watch the sunset and swap stories about the day.

By now, your family’s getting the hang of yacht life—rotating roles keeps it fresh.
Sail to Stingray Beach, where wild stingrays glide up for a safe, captain-led feeding session (a thrill for all ages!).
Spend the afternoon swimming or relaxing on deck, soaking in the island vibes.
For the younger children, sometimes there is a buried treasure and a map to follow. Think of the excitement of digging up a chest full of goodies to take home after counting off paces on the beach!

It’s “Final Exam Day”—but don’t worry, it’s all fun! Your family takes charge: plot the route, check the boat, hoist sails, and steer back to base.
Dock early, leaving time for a taxi to catch Friday flights home, tired but beaming from your week together.
