Caribbean Bridge Cruise
Caribbean Bridge Cruise
Sail by day, play by night
Have you ever played bridge on a Caribbean beach, watching the sun set with a glass of smooth rum punch in hand? If that idea appeals to you, join Bridge & Breeze — a unique Caribbean bridge cruise organized by Sailing Dutchman. This skippered catamaran bridge cruise in the Caribbean is created for bridge lovers who want to combine their passion for the game with a relaxed tropical sailing adventure.
A unique Bridge Flotilla in the Caribbean
Around 12–20 international bridge players sail together on two or three comfortable catamarans, forming a dedicated Caribbean bridge flotilla. By day, we explore beautiful islands, swim in turquoise waters with turtles, and enjoy warm sea breezes. By evening, we come together for friendly bridge sessions at sunset, surrounded by golden skies and the natural beauty of the Caribbean.
This Caribbean bridge cruise experience blends sailing and bridge in perfect balance — relaxed, social, and stress‑free. Expect good vibes, pure chill, and great company from across the world.
Join us on Bridge & Breeze and discover why playing bridge in the Caribbean has never felt — or looked — so beautiful.

Caribbean bridge cruise itinerary
Day 1: Check-in on catamaran
Around 3:00 pm we will welcome everyone on board the catamarans. The skipper will present the sailing itinerary, safety rules, and life on board. Afterwards, we will head to our first bridge tournament, followed by a group dinner at the Le Marin marina.
Day 2: Martinique > St. Lucia
After breakfast, we set sail on our first leg from Le Marin (Martinique) towards Saint Lucia. We will anchor in legendary Marigot Bay — one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean. This is where scenes from Doctor Dolittle and Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed.
This day we take a break from bridge on land, but we will play a tournament on board the yachts, followed by a group dinner at a local tavern.

Day 5: St. St. Vincent > Bequia
After breakfast, an optional excursion to Dark View Falls awaits. This trip offers a glimpse into the island’s local character and the chance to swim beneath impressive black waterfalls cascading over basalt rock formations.
Around lunchtime, we sail to Bequia, known as the “Big Little Island.” It is one of our favorite stops, famous for the iconic Rendezvous Bar, popular with both locals and visitors. After our visit to Rendezvous Bar, we will head to our friends Gladwyn and Linda, who run a small local restaurant. There, we will play a bridge tournament followed by a delicious dinner.

Day 6: Bequia > Mayreau
After a morning stroll along the promenade, we sail to Mayreau — the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines, covering just 3.8 km² and home to around 300 residents.
We will anchor in the stunning Salt Whistle Bay, a naturally sheltered bay with golden sand and crystal‑clear turquoise water.
In the evening, Donna will set up bridge tables for us on the beach and treat us to a true Caribbean feast. Every group so far has been absolutely delighted with both the location and the food.

We will anchor in a marine reserve surrounded by a coral reef, where we can snorkel with turtles. In the evening, we’ll hold a beach bridge tournament, followed by the ultimate highlight: a lobster barbecue on the beach.
