This experience, in a nutshell

Get ready to experience an unforgettable adventure in the Caribbean! Departing from Martinique, we'll embark on a journey south, exploring some of the region's most charming and picturesque destinations. Our list of stops (not necessarily in that order) includes some hidden gems and some islands famous for their natural beauty and unique charm:

Saint Lucia, St Vincent, Bequia, Tobago cays, Union Island, Palm Island, Petit St Vincent, Mayreau and Canouan.

We will spend the last night of the year on Union Island where we will decide together whether to have dinner on the boat and then go ashore to celebrate or dine directly in some restaurant on the island.

We usually limit port stops to just one at Union Island for refueling.

The itinerary may be subject to change depending on navigation conditions.

Leg 1

Arrival day

BOARDING FROM 18.00 AT FORT DE FRANCE

(You will find the galley already on board based on the indications previously received and it will only be completed with some details according to individual needs).

Leg 2

Day 1

We leave Martinique early in the morning heading south to the island of ST Lucia, we will stop for a swim in the bay of Cochon and then we will continue towards the famous PITONS in the south part of the island where we will spend the night.

Leg 3

Day 2

We leave St Lucia early in the morning to move towards St Vincent, skirting the island, we will stop for lunch and a nice relaxing swim, and then proceed to the island of Bequia, about an hour and a half away, which we will reach in the evening.

Anchored in the beautiful bay of Port Elisabeth we will go ashore for an aperitif (if you arrive on time).

Leg 4

Day 3

The next morning, after completing the customs procedures for entry and after a tour of the market, we will also leave this beautiful island to reach other even more beautiful ones: the Tobago Cays, a true natural paradise of a thousand colors. We will moor behind the Horse Shoe Reef and in the evening there will be the inevitable lobster barbecue on the beach.

Here we will spend the night.

Leg 5

Day 4

We will spend most of the day in this paradise and move in the late afternoon to reach the nearby island of Petit Saint Vincent for the night.

Leg 6

Day 5

After a nice morning swim we will move a few minutes to go to the nearby islet of Mopion (islet with only the typical umbrella symbol of the Caribbean) and after that in the early afternoon we will approach the island of Union Island where we will spend the last night of the year, not before having made another stop in front of the beautiful beach of the island of Palm Island

Leg 7

Day 6

We leave Union Island to start the slow ascent northwards, but we will stop immediately in Mayreau for more swimming and then again in Canouan or again at the Tobago Cays (which everyone always likes!)

Leg 8

Day 7

We leave this paradise with regret but the cruise is not over yet. On the way up we will stop in the bay of Wallilabou on the island of St Vincent: here the landscape changes but it is always a spectacle for the eye (set of the now legendary Pirates of the Caribbean films). We will be able to take a nice hike to the waterfalls and in the middle of an explosive nature.

Leg 9

Day 8

We also leave St Vincent for a sail to St Lucia. We will stop if possible still near the Piton (where the snorkeling is exceptional) and then move further north to the bay of Marigot for the night.

Leg 10

Day 9

We leave the bay of Marigot for another beautiful sail to Martinique.

Leg 11

Day 10

I had wanted to sail to the Grenadines for a long time. I am overall quite satisfied with the holiday, despite a bit of tension between a crew member and the captain

Canary-Martinique Atlantic crossing. Adventure of a lifetime!

I am sorry to have to point out the serious shortcomings of the skipper in making the crew find a boat in order and safely to face such a long journey. No sail of respect, the bow old and worn, serious leaks of diesel in the bilge resulting in unbearable smell under deck, we finished the gas a week before arrival ... These are just some of the serious shortcomings of the skipper.----------------------SPOWER OF THE SKIPPER----------------------Caro Federico, I read your review and report the following. I did 7 Atlantic crossings, one of which was completely solo: I don't think I have to take sailing lessons. I can't hide from you that the relationships were difficult with the whole crew. What you call "old and worn sail" brought you all a day early to Martinique, so I do not consider your criticisms valid because with the facts I have shown something else. Unfortunately, contrary to what you told me, none of the crew was actually able to stay at the helm and in the only half hour in which the autopilot did not work there were several moments of difficulty. You boarded believing you were taking a regular sailing cruise and not an Atlantic crossing of over 20 days in the middle of the ocean. I can't even forget your behavior when after being sick in the bathroom you didn't bother to clean in the slightest and left the task to me. The only thing I would like to give you, in part, reason for concerns the loss of diesel, caused by a job done badly by the mechanic and then solved.
