Skippered Sailing Holidays in the Caribbean

We will welcome you with a refreshing cocktail at 5 – 6 pm on board of Akua Aminata. The skipper will  introduce the sailing itinerary, safety rules, and the living arrangements on the catamaran. Then we will do some shopping for the next few days and go together for dinner in the marina.

After breakfast, we will head towards St. Eustatius, a small Dutch Caribbean island measuring approximately 21 km² and inhabited by around 3,000 people. You will not find white sandy beaches here, which protects it from mass tourism, but it is one of the most favorite destinations for avid divers looking for shipwrecks to explore as it boasts one of the most spectacular underwater marine parks in the world.

Today we will sail to St Kitts and Nevis and explore this smallest country in Americas, famous of 44 different types of mango. We can choose between Sky Safari Tours or ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Land Rover Tour or know the lush forest around Ms Liamuiga. There is always plenty of ideas and options of exploring the island.

Very short sailing to Nevis, one of the most unspoiled and relaxing islands in the Caribbean. We can enjoy a lazy day on the beach or visit Nevis Artisan village and admire  feature products from shell, coconut, leather, ceramics, stone, wood carvings, paintings, locally made soaps, handmade dolls, bamboo work, basketry work, locally designed clothes and local jewelry

It’s time to leave St Kitts and Nevis and sail towards Montserrat, which was inhabited by the Tainos c.500 BCE. In the evening we will go to taste local national dish – a delicious stew made from the meat of male (ram) goat.

After breakfast, we will head towards Guadeloupe, shaped like a butterfly. One wing, Basse-Terre, called by by the ancient Caribbean tribe Karukera “The island of beautiful water” is mountainous and volcanic, rich with forests, rivers and waterfalls. The other wing – Grande-Terre – often called the little Brittany of the Antilles because of its abrupt cliffs that resemble those of the Breton peninsula.

Today is a very lazy sail to the next amazing attraction –  Jacques Cousteau Underwater Nature Reserve where we will go snorkelling in the coral reefs and admire underwater world.

Today our destination is Les Saintes, a small archipelago consisting of pristine islands, of which only two are inhabited – Terre de Haut and Terre de Bas. Our destination is Terre de Haut, which will enchant us with Saintes Bay, listed on the UNESCO World’s Most Beautiful Bays. We will also enjoy a nice walk around one of the prettiest port  town in the Caribbean.

After breakfest we will sail to Dominica, known as the “quintessence of the Caribbean. It is more than certain that Martin – our local friend – will welcome us in the traditional way, playing the conch.

It is time to start visiting hidden gem of the Caribbean – Dominica. How about a rowboat trip on the Indian River, admiring the witch house from “Pirates of the Caribbean” II, and then a game of dominoes at a local bar in the middle of the jungle?

Today we will continue to discover the beauty of Dominica by car. We will visit amazing beaches, local bars, Calibishie – the main village on the scenic north coast of Dominica and home to a dramatic mosaic of steep cliffs and red rocks. At the end of our journey we will taste home made chocolate in Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Factory.

This is the longest sailing stretch, so it will be busy day for the captain but very relaxing for you:) We will anchor in St Pierre – the first capital of Martinique

Today we will have the opportunity to admire the coast of Martinique during the sailing from St Pierre to Le Marin. We will be early enough in Le Marin, so you will easily catch your flight back home.
