Our Caribbean sailing adventure begins in Martinique, the flower island with the volcano Mont Pelée. After embarkation, provisioning, and a safety briefing in Le Marin, we set sail and head north.
The very first leg of the journey leads to a highlight: Dominica. We snorkel over the volcanic bubbles of Champagne Reef and relax in the island's hot springs, surrounded by dense rainforest. Further north, we anchor off Les Saintes, in one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean, before Guadeloupe, the Butterfly Island, welcomes us with its rainforest and roaring waterfalls.
Sailing from Antigua, with its legendary 365 beaches – one for every day of the year – we head to St. Kitts and Nevis, where volcanic mountains and traces of the colonial era await us. In Gustavia on St. Barthélemy, we drop anchor among chic yachts and boutiques, soaking up the French atmosphere.
Easter Sunday falls right in the middle of this sailing trip – we'll spend it on board, in a bay we choose together. The trip concludes in St. Martin, the divided double island with its Dutch and French parts.
Approximately 350 nautical miles along the classic Antilles route northwards, mostly on beam reach and upwind courses, interspersed with calm stretches in the lee of the islands. Sailing experience is welcome, but not required. The onboard languages are German and English.
For those collecting miles for their next sailing license: Since we'll be sailing through the Lesser Antilles from south to north on this trip, you'll log plenty of nautical miles. Of course, we'll issue you an official mileage certificate at the end of the trip.
Our yacht travels the world – and you can join us! With us, you're not an anonymous guest on a standard route, but part of a real crew, discovering new horizons together. We're not a typical charter company that sails the same tour every week. Instead, we sail together, experience authentic boat life, and embrace the adventure the sea has in store for us.
Climb aboard a superbly equipped, lovingly maintained boat and enjoy something special: With us, nothing is off the rack. Every trip is unique – sometimes spontaneous, sometimes planned, always full of surprises. Unplanned experiences are just as much a part of it as relaxing days on deck.
Want more than just a sailing trip? We'll take care of the onboard technology together, and you can lend a hand if you like. You can turn your holiday cruise into a real experience on a long-distance cruising yacht and become part of life at sea.
Our sailing trips combine vacation, adventure, mindfulness, and authentic boating life. Become part of our crew and experience a special time on Galini – authentic, communal, and full of adventure.
