Itinerary

Day 1-2

Welcome Aboard

The adventure starts the moment you step onto the catamaran, get to know your crew, and settle into life at sea. Our first sail takes us to Grand Case, where we’ll start picking up the basics of sailing—commands like ‘ready about’ and ‘sheet in’ will soon feel natural. Then it’s time to hit the water for a check-out dive and get comfortable underwater again.


 

Day 3-4

Getting Into the Flow

Adapt quickly to life aboard; everyone pitches in to keep things running, whether it’s scouting dive conditions or keeping the yacht ‘ship shape’. In the water, we’ll focus on fine-tuning dive skills and learning to demonstrate techniques. Back on the boat, we will refresh our Emergency First Responder skills.


 

Day 6-7

Exploring St. Barts

Next up: Ile Fourche, Colombier, and St. Barts – all a diver’s dream, and they’re also where we’ll start working on Search & Recovery. You’ll practice tying knots and using a lift bag underwater. On land, we’ll check out Gustavia—imagine cobblestone streets, a scenic harbour and delicious gelato.


 

Day 8-10

St. Kitts Adventures

St. Kitts is a mix of culture and amazing dive spots. Here we’ll work on navigation, mapping, and diver safety—skills that make us better divers while also being a lot of fun to practice. Between dives, the calm water in Ballast Bay is perfect for paddleboarding, watersports, or just floating around and relaxing.


 

Day 10-12

Hiking + Wrecks in Statia

Experience the wonders of Statia. On land, hike The Quill volcano and look down into its rainforest-filled crater. Underwater, explore some of the finest wrecks in the Caribbean and complete the Nitrox specialty. Assist the marine park by spending the afternoon working on a community service project, then have a sunset meal at our favorite waterfront spot.


 

Day 13-15

The Pinnacles of Saba

Saba awaits! This island towers out of the sea, with sheer cliffs and a striking peak hinting at its volcanic past. It is home to dense tropical jungles and some of the best diving in the Caribbean. Sites like Man-O-War Shoals, Tent Reef Shallows, Diamond Rock and Ladder Labyrinth are even more breathtaking than their names suggest. Think volcanic formations, towering pinnacles, and walls that drop into the blue. Above water, we’ll take the “Road That Couldn’t Be Built” to Windwardside, a small, quaint Dutch-style village.


 

Day 16-17

Final Sail + Sunset BBQ

Our journey comes full circle as we sail back to St. Martin. Before heading home, we’ll make the most of our last day with wakeboarding, water skiing, and time on the water. We will enjoy one last meal together—sharing stories, laughing about the trip’s best moments, and realizing just how much we’ve learned along the way.
