Life on a sailing voyage

On a sailing voyage we never use the word itinerary, as skippers will always be aiming for the best sailing and shore landings for the forecast and most idyllic or sheltered anchors and ports. They are as keen as you to include some of the highlights describe, but you have to go with Mother Nature, not fight her. The description below is based on what we think might be possible, based on past trips, or experience, but nothing is guaranteed on a sailing voyage. If the following voyage description is not fulfilled for any reason, Maybe Sailing and Maybe Sailing Youth Initiative cannot be held responsible.

This is a 1000 mile journey to Bermuda, experiencing life at sea, and nights of star filled wonder.

Leaving our anchorage in Marigot, St Martin, we make the 1000 nautical mile voyage to Bermuda.  Take the helm, become a member of the deck crew, and settle into the watch system, as life at sea takes over.  You will learn every aspect of sailing a classic tall ship on this 13 day ocean sailing voyage.  As you leave the islands of the Caribbean behind, fully immerse yourself in to life on the ocean, with golden horizons and deep blue waters.

Bermuda is only 21 square miles but comprises of 181 named islands sitting way out in the Atlantic, hundreds of miles from the USA and several thousand from the UK. An elegant destination of perfect sandy beaches palms and colonial old world charm Bermuda is decidedly British compared with the Bahamas. The beautiful colonial town of St George’s is sure to entice you, with it’s waterside bars and restaurants. Don’t forget to try a Rum Swizzle or a Dark and Stormy, the famous Bermudan cocktails.
