A round trip with only one airport: We start and end in Le Marin, Martinique – arrival and departure are via the same airport, which simplifies planning and often makes flights cheaper. This combination of a circular route and a single transfer point is one of the most popular sailing formats of our Caribbean season.
After embarkation, provisioning, and a safety briefing in Le Marin, we set course south. Our first stop is St. Lucia: Marigot Bay, a narrow, palm-fringed bay that only opens up when you're almost in it – and the Pitons, the two volcanic cones that rise directly from the sea and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Continuing south, we reach St. Vincent and anchor in Cumberland Bay, where the rainforest stretches right to the water's edge. Then the Grenadines begin: Bequia with Port Elizabeth and the expansive Admiralty Bay, Mustique with Basil's Bar right on the beach – and finally the highlight of the trip, the Tobago Cays. We anchor behind Horseshoe Reef in the national park, snorkel with sea turtles, and have Mayreau right next door.
We sail from Union Island to Mopion, a tiny sandbar with a single parasol made of palm fronds – there's nothing else there. Then we turn around and sail north again on the trade winds back to Martinique.
Approximately 210 nautical miles: heading south, mostly broad reach and reaching courses; on the return north, close-hauled and broad reach courses – a trip where you sail all courses close to the wind. Sailing experience is welcome, but not required. The onboard languages are German and English.
For those looking to log miles for their next sailing license: Since we'll be sailing down the Windward Islands to the Grenadines and back on this trip, you'll rack up 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.
