St Lucia to Dominica

From 9th to 18th January 2012
Rainforests & waterfalls sailing tour. Enjoy the spectacular Pitons National Park on St Lucia, the colonial delights of Martinique and Dominica’s wild, untamed rainforest. Climb a piton and swim in a rainforest pool; don’t forget your camera.

Sailing in St Lucia, Martinique & Dominica

Fly into St Lucia and meet up with your shipmates at Rodney Bay Marina close to St Lucia’s capital of Castries. Then stow your gear for an invigorating sail in some of the most beautiful and undeveloped of the Caribbean Islands; the spectacular mountains covered in rainforest make for some memorable coastal sailing in the footsteps of Columbus. Even if you’ve never sailed before, you won’t fail to be enchanted by the beauty of the Windward Islands and your Skipper will soon having you pulling the ropes like a pro!

Have a Sailing Adventure

Our 10 day tour of the islands of St Lucia, Martinique & Dominica includes glorious blue water sailing, great home-cooked food, fantastic snorkelling and evenings under the stars. Beginners and improvers are assured of a relaxed and unhurried learning experience and single travellers will make firm friends amongst their fellow boat buddies.

Our itinerary takes in all the island highlights including some of the sets of Pirates of the Caribbean, and gives you plenty of sailing, whilst allowing you time for relaxing and exploring. Diving trips can also be arranged to top dive spots like the Cabrits National Park on Dominica.

Sunshine & Warm Seas

Warm sunny weather is practically guaranteed; there are often showers in this part of the world but they never last long, and hey, it’s warm rain! Temperatures in their high 20′s are the norm, and there’s always a cooling breeze on board. The sea is a wonderful shade of blue, and I can honestly say that it is uniquely Caribbean; nowhere more so than in Dominica….prepare to be amazed.
