Itinerary

Day 1

All aboard!

Touch down in St. Martin and meet your crew at our Broadreach base. After getting fitted for gear and a welcome dinner at the pad, you’ll board your yacht — your floating home for the week. Start bonding with your shipmates, set goals for the journey ahead, and get a feel for life on the water.

Day 2

Smooth sailing to Grand Case

Wake up to a beach swim and orientation before hoisting the sails toward the charming bay of Grand Case. Begin your dive training with confined water sessions, or brush up on your scuba skills if you’re already certified. Between sessions, try your hand at water sports like wakeboarding and tubing in calm Caribbean waters. Finish off the day with dinner and your first night anchored in paradise.

Day 3

Dive in + off-the-grid adventure

Gear up for another day of diving and sailing. Learn essential sailing techniques as you chart a course to the pristine island of St. Barts. Jump in to explore the vibrant reefs, then unwind on deck under a sky full of stars.

Day 4

Underwater milestones + island vibes

Drop anchor in Gustavia for a taste of French-Caribbean charm—think cobblestone streets, colorful shops, and maybe an ice cream (or two). Then sail to the serene bay of Colombier, where you’ll complete your Scuba Diver certification with your final training dives. Feel the island breeze as your scuba skills solidify and your sailing confidence grows.

Day 5

Explore St. Barts

Hike the cliffside trail to a hidden body-surfing beach for a salty, splashy morning. Then raise the sails and set course for the uninhabited island of Île Fourchue. Snorkel or dive along its thriving reefs and keep an eye out for sea turtles surfacing around the boat.

Day 6

One last splash + celebration

Start the day watching the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea from the island’s highest point, then dive in for your final underwater adventure. Sail back to Anse Marcel for a closing beach BBQ celebration. Swap stories, relive your favorite memories, and savor one last Caribbean sunset together.

Day 7

Until next time

Say your goodbyes to the boat, instructors, and crewmates as you head to the airport, taking with you new skills, certifications, and friendships that will last a lifetime.
