Our Caribbean sailing adventure begins on Saturday in Martinique with embarkation, provisioning, and a safety briefing. Martinique welcomes us with the scent of vanilla, rum, and exotic flowers.
As soon as the lines are cast off, we set course north. The steady trade winds fill the sails. Via Les Saintes and Guadeloupe, we reach Dominica, a natural paradise of unparalleled beauty—we anchor in crystal-clear waters, surrounded by rainforest and hot springs. A highlight is snorkeling in Champagne Reef, where volcanic activity causes bubbles to rise from the seabed.
We'll celebrate New Year's Eve on board, in a bay we choose together. Further north, we'll reach Antigua with its 365 beaches, followed by St. Kitts and Nevis with their colonial past. We'll drop anchor in Gustavia on St. Barthélemy, surrounded by luxury yachts and boutiques.
Finally, we reach St. Martin — the divided island with its Dutch and French flair marks the end of our journey. We arrive on Friday evening; Saturday is crew change day.
Approximately 350 nautical miles, beam reach on the classic trade wind route. Sailing experience is welcome, but not required. The onboard language is German.
For those collecting miles for their next sailing license: Since we'll be crossing the open sea 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 Galini travels the world – and you can join her! 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.
