“My Broadreach trip was one of the most memorable things I have done in my entire life! I loved every aspect of the trip from the inseparable bond formed between our instructors and within the group, to every action filled day! My favorite place was Saba and I especially enjoyed the dives we did there along with the beautiful town and hike. I walked away with tears in my eyes, a greater value of teamwork, confidence and so many new friendships that will last a lifetime.” Katie, high school alumna

Itinerary

Day 1-4

The adventure begins

Your first few days are busy as you meet the crew, are assigned your dive gear for the trip, settle into your boat and get accustomed to the pace of life aboard. The specially equipped catamaran provides an ideal platform for diving, sailing and adventure. Days start early as you share all of the responsibilities, from sailing to keeping your home “ship-shape.” Over the next two weeks, you will be the skipper, first mate, navigator, dive safety officer, and chef for this journey. Learn the language of the sea as your floating home slices through wind and waves on a sail to Grand Case. Adventure awaits! Whether it’s your first time diving or you are already certified, soon you’ll be blowing bubbles and checking out the stunning reefs and cool fish. Try your hand at wakeboarding or water skiing in the calm waters that surround your yacht. Visit the uninhabited island of Ile Fourche and hike to see spectacular sunrise views.

Day 5-8

Ready, set, sail – to St. Barts

St. Barts feels like the French Riviera, très français. Perfect beaches, turquoise waters and shallow reefs teeming with life. Whether you are working on your Open Water or your Advanced certification, the diverse and accessible dive sites in the St. Bart’s Marine Reserve are ideal. A short hike takes you to the body surfing beach at Anse Flamands on the island’s windward side. Spend an afternoon learning sailing fundamentals, feeling the wind, trimming the sails and mooring and docking practice. The town of Gustavia is perhaps the nicest in the Caribbean, with designer shops, yummy crepes and homemade mango ice cream. Back on the yacht, as you watch the sunset over Les Gros Ilets with your new friends and reflect on all you’ve done, it’s hard to imagine that you have only been here for a few days.

Day 7-9

Dive thriving reefs and sheer walls

Saba, known as the Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean because of its thriving ecosystems above and below the surface. The island majestically rises out of the ocean and disappears into the clouds. Its world-famous marine park protects some of the best diving in the Caribbean. The sheer walls and towering pinnacles of Babylon, Man-of-War Shoals and Diamond Rock are phenomenal and perfect for finishing your PADI Coral Reef Conservation certification. Spend a day ashore volunteering with the Saba Conservation Foundation and exploring the picturesque village in Windwardside.

Day 10-12

The fun continues

Our adventure is coming to an end, so it’s time to head back to St. Martin. Spend time in Happy Bay or Anse Marcel, doing some water sports and swimming in the crystal clear water. As you spend one last night under the starry sky you reflect on your adventure. Twelve people who were strangers have become a team; working together, learning from one another and building lifelong friendships.

Our son had a wonderful experience. He found the trip while researching summer programs and had very high expectations which were met at every level. He raved about the trip leaders… All three leaders seemed to be very skilled in working with teens. The program was seamless from start to finish, and I was amazed at how much the students accomplished in a few weeks. We thank you for organizing such exceptional programs and for the professionalism and competence of all of your staff. Anna and Neil Mintz

Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her Broadreach experience. She made new friends, learned new skills and had a great time visiting new places. As far as we can tell, there was a strong emphasis on safety and she seems very comfortable with the program and staff. Catherine Rooney

When I decided I wanted to attend a Broadreach trip in a foreign country, my parents were concerned for my safety. Now at the end of the trip, I see how incredibly safe our group was at all times; with Broadreach, parents and students have nothing to worry about. Every experience on this trip was one that will impact me forever. Diving in Saba, community service, and boat living all exceeded my highest expectations. I learned to dive and sail but, more importantly, I learned about new places, people, and cultures. I would hands-down do it all over again and I will carry the memories with me forever. Hannah M.

My Broadreach trip was one of the most memorable things I have done in my entire life! I loved every aspect of the trip from the inseparable bond formed between our instructors and within-group, to every action-filled day! My favorite place was Saba and I especially enjoyed the dives we did there along with the beautiful town and hike. I learned how to Scuba dive (my new favorite thing in the entire world) and work with a group of people that I had never met. I walked away with tears in my eyes, a greater value of teamwork, confidence and so many new friendships that will last a lifetime. Katie Krupnick

I felt confident that Jenna would be safe and would have a good time. She was so excited to go on the trip, I was afraid the trip would be a let-down. On the contrary, it exceeded all her expectations. Jenna had a fabulous time, learned a great deal, and made terrific friends. She loved the staff, the fellow students, the boat, the location, and the activities. A 10 out of 10! Laurie Milani

Mac had a fantastic time and made some great friends. She came home so much more confident and grownup it is amazing she was only gone two weeks. She also loved the counselors and thought they did a great job of teaching, but more importantly keeping the camp fun and helping the group come together. McKenzie Millard

Our daughter had the time of her life. She loved the adventure of living on a boat, learning how to scuba dive (she liked the night dives best), hiking on the islands, and getting to know her crewmates and the beauty of the ocean and the islands. She came back happy, healthy, and full of enthusiasm over what she experienced. She felt the trip was extremely well organized and supervised. We feel she learned things and was challenged to grow in ways that were only possible by going on a trip like this. She got along great with the other students on the trip and would love to do something like this again - soon. We are really happy with how the trip went - the experience was a great match for her. Robert Boschetto

The trip was awesome! I loved living on the boat for two weeks because you can experience a totally new style of living. Also being able to sail to islands like Saba, St. Barth, and St. Kitts when usually people fly there was great. The diving was amazing it was a great experience to see a new world underwater. Meeting new people from the U.S and the instructors was great. Sandra Macko
