Windward – Leeward Cruise

Départ - Rodney Bay, St. Lucia

Jour 2 - Martinique

Day 1 - 2 We clear Rodney Bay and set a northerly course toward Martinique. Expect a spirited beam reach across turquoise waters. Martinique blends French sophistication with Caribbean rhythm—charming anchorages, world-class boulangeries, and lush volcanic landscapes. Evenings are spent beneath dramatic green hills.

Jour 3 - Dominica

Day 3 - 4. Next we sail toward the untamed beauty of Dominica, often called “The Nature Island.” Towering mountains plunge into the sea, waterfalls cascade through rainforest valleys, and the scent of spice hangs in the air. This is raw Caribbean—authentic, dramatic, unforgettable. The fortunate can get a glimpse of the rare sperm whale pod cruising these exceptional waters.

Jour 4 - Îles des Saintes

Day 5. A shorter but spectacular passage takes us to the idyllic archipelago of Îles des Saintes. French-Caribbean charm defines this stop: pastel houses, quiet anchorages, and panoramic views from hilltop forts. Swim in crystalline bays or wander cobbled streets with a café in hand.

Jour 5 - Guadeloupe

Day 6 - 7. We continue to Guadeloupe, a butterfly-shaped island rich in Creole culture and dramatic scenery. Explore vibrant markets, hike through tropical forests, or relax on secluded beaches. Under sail, the Swan 51 comes alive in the steady trade winds.

Arrivée - Nelson's Dockyard, Antigua

Day 8 - 9. Our final offshore leg brings us to Antigua and Barbuda, famed for its sailing heritage. We conclude in historic Nelson’s Dockyard, a beautifully restored Georgian naval base and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mooring here feels like arriving at the spiritual home of Caribbean yachting. A final evening toast marks the completion of a remarkable island-hopping passage through some of the Caribbean’s most storied waters.
