Caribbean Sail Cruising & Racing

If you fancy cruising or racing in the Caribbean with a professional skipper, having fun, and learning as you go, please feel free to get in touch. We operate as a not-for-profit organisation and will have 2 boats in the Caribbean this season. Our guests come in all shapes and sizes and everyone is welcome irrespective of experience or any other characteristic. We're happy to take people from 1 week for up to 4 months at any point from December to April. We do charge for a space onboard but this is below a commercial rate.

Yachts in terrible condition !

Be extremely wary of this so called 'academy'. SY Sao Jorge had significant repairs done to keel and mast (with plate added to mast !). Owner of this UK flagged vessel refused to share the (by UK Lawrequired) certificates with regards to these 'fixes'. In my perception, the owner is just some random English guy that bought worn down and damaged yachts, trying to make easy and quick money, at the expense and risk of skippers and paying passengers.
