Set the sails in the Caribbean
St Maarten, Tobago Cays, St. Barts, St Kitts, St Lucia, Martinique and Anguilla – even the names conjure up images of that laid back, exotic Caribbean life. Island Windjammers have three beautifully-appointed vessels sailing these parts with the ships accommodating between 10 and 26 guests. Diamant offers six and 12-night itineraries through the Windward Islands departing from her base in Grenada, Sagitta cruises through the British Virgin Islands and the Leewards, while the tall ship Vela sails through the Windwards or the French West Indies. Apart from normal itineraries you can also opt to join rum, solo, beer, pirate or foodie-themed cruises. With air-conditioned cabins also featuring private bathrooms and portholes, the on-board amenities are complemented by activities including underwater lights for snorkelling, rope swings, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards.
With a new port visited daily, you will have plenty of time ashore to discover the delights of the islands. islandwindjammers.com
