Sailing is romantic, exciting, and adventurous. Our historic ships captivate sailors and land lubbers alike.

Ducking under booms, leaning against the railing a few feet above the sea, watching the crew work the winches and climb the masts are constant reminders that these are legendary vessels.

BAHAMAS - ABC ISLANDS - US VIRGIN ISLAND - different length cruises  S.V. Legacy
Come aboard the S.V. Legacy of the Windjammer Fleet to experience hundreds of coral islands, hypnotic beyond belief. From the Bahamas seemingly set in a sea of warm liquid light and waters and satin sands that  inspired authors like Ernest Hemingway to spin adventurous tales about the allure of the southern sea, to the ornate and colorful Dutch colonial architecture of the port towns of Aruba Bonaire and Curacao that will transport you back to Europe or to the Virgin Islands that have lured seafarers and landlubbers for centuries. Even the Gods were seduced … for they blessed this region with zephyr winds that keep Legacy’s sails billowing. A selection of 4, 5 and 8 days cruises. From 690 US $ per person sharing. Departs SET DATES

WINDWARDS & LEEWARDS ISLANDS - 6 day / 5 night cruises  S.V. Polynesia
Come aboard the S.V. Polynesia of the Windjammer Fleet to experience a nature lover’s dream cruise. Get ready for some of the most spectacular scenery, wildlife, and natural attractions in the Caribbean. The sleepy Dutch islands reveal a gold-mine of artifacts and legends for divers and history buffs … The British colonies exude an air of relaxed sophistication amidst a tropical explosion of foliage and elegant architecture … And only the French isles greet the day with croissants and espresso. There’s also a vibrant arts and cultural scene; after all, the Windwards are the heart-and-soul of the West Indies. Even the Gods were seduced … for they blessed this region with zephyr winds that keep Polynesia’s sails billowing. From 900 US $ per person sharing. Departs SET DATES

ST. VINCENT & GRENADINES - 6 day / 7 night cruises  S.V. Yankee Clipper
Come aboard the S.V. Yankee Clipper of the Windjammer Fleet to appreciate the Grenadines. The region is visited by only a handful of yachties in search of eternal summer, making the Grenadines one of the most exclusive sailing grounds in the world. Sprinkled in the crystal-clear waters between the volcanic peaks of St. Vincent and Grenada is a 60-mile trail of palm-studded sandbars, coral reefs and tiny islets that haven’t changed much since Columbus first sailed these crystalline waters. Experience the Caribbean of long ago. Our ships can sail right up to an islet and anchor off a deserted beach. You could ride the tender ashore, or jump off the ship and swim, enjoying the ultimate beach day until your Captain gives the cue to hoist sails. If it’s nightlife and cultural stimulation you desire, the sassy, spice islands of Grenada and St. Vincent have just that, plus excellent beaches, lush rainforests and all kinds of water sports. From 900 US $ per person sharing. Departs SET DATES

PANAMA - WINDWARDS & LEEWARDS - GRENADINES - different length cruises  S.V. Mandalay
Discover places where the turquoise Caribbean Sea blends seamlessly with the blue of a perfect sky. On Mandalay’s  “Barefoot” expedition, you’ll have ample time to explore and linger over different chains of islands, fringed by tropical palms. The itineraries are truly exotic. Mandalay sails to islands smothered in primal rainforest … where cascading waterfalls plunge hundreds of feet over tropical foliage to bathing-pools below … and untamed rivers teem with fish and rolling rapids. Exotic birds and butterflies ride rum-scented winds that continually fan the green fields of sugarcane, banana, and coffee. A smorgasbord for the senses, shipmates will see and feel the many cultural influences of the Caribbean: Creole, French, Indian and European. The villages encountered along the voyage range from quaint and intimate to bustling and energetic. These islands are like a first love—they’ll steal your heart instantly and forever. A selection of cruises. From 985 US $ per person sharing. Departs SET DATES
