Briefly about the Caribbean

The Caribbean, also known as the West Indies, is a chain of islands stretching from Florida in the north down to the northern tips of South America. It lies to the east of the Central American mainland and forms a dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Sailing in the Caribbean is considered one of the most exotic experiences we can have on Earth.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus became the first European to record his arrival in the islands, where he is believed by historians to have set foot on land in the Bahamas. After the first of Christopher Columbus' voyages to the Americas, Europeans began using the term West Indies to distinguish this region from both the original 'Indies' (i.e. India) and the East Indies of South Asia and Southeast Asia. So the first sailing voyage in the Caribbean dates back to exactly 530 years ago. The tradition is long. Is it time for you to become part of this cool tradition?

More Sailing in the Caribbean

Sailing in the Caribbean with More Sailing is an experience like no other. When we sail among the southern Caribbean islands, we start from Martinique or St. Lucia, depending on the departure. The two islands are adjacent to each other and with them as a starting point, we then set sail south towards St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The whole sailing trip in the Caribbean takes 13 days (by air) and right now we only have vacancies left in January, February and March.

The Grenadines have been named the most beautiful sailing area in the world and consist of a string of islands located between St. Vincent in the north and Grenada in the south. Our sailing trips in the Caribbean give you an exciting and memorable experience, which our customers usually say they get memories for life. You will experience great sailing days and the best of what the Caribbean has to offer. Both black and white sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, snorkeling with sea turtles and eating grilled dinners on the beach. Simply fantastic!

During a sailing trip in the Caribbean on our large catamarans, you will experience the sailing you have always dreamed of, completely without worries. Sun, warmth, good food, beautiful views and memories for life. On board the boat you are in safe hands with the crew. They cook, guide you to hidden paradise coves, recommend restaurants and sail the boat. You relax and enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Breakfast and lunch are served on the boat, while dinner is served ashore in a restaurant. There are absolutely no musts on the sailing boat. As far as you're concerned, just relax and go along, but of course you can participate in the sailing as much as you like. The combination of being looked after by the crew while visiting new destinations every day, makes it a vacation you'll want to tell others about. Just like our previous travelers.

An ordinary day

A typical day on our boats often starts with a lovely morning dip in the turquoise blue Caribbean waters. In the meantime, your host prepares the yummy breakfast buffet. After everyone has eaten their fill, it's off to sea to sail on to the day's destination. While we sail to the next destination, you have time to sunbathe, swim, read a book or just enjoy the mesmerizing surroundings.

As lunch approaches, the kitchen smells delicious. Lunch is often enjoyed in a turquoise bay followed by a swim from the boat. After lunch, you'll make your way to the port, bay or perhaps town where you'll spend the night. In the evening, you'll have a chance to sample the local cuisine in one of the restaurants. End the evening at a local bar before letting the sea rock you to sleep on the boat. Nothing may be perfect, but this is the closest you can get to perfection.

Dream experience in detail

Depending on the departure, our Caribbean sailing trips today depart from either Martinique or St. Lucia. Both are equally beautiful, but differ mostly in the administrative conditions. Martinique belongs to France and St. Lucia is a former British colony in the southern Caribbean. It is worth emphasizing that in St Lucia you drive on the left side of the road and Queen Elisabeth II adorns the dollar bills.

Martinique is the wonderful island where the marina Le Marin is located. This is the first departure option. St. Lucia is the other gem where the marina holds the name Rodney Bay and is thus the second departure option. It is St. Lucia and Rodney Bay that are the finish line of the annual Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC). Both Le Marin and Rodney Bay are two large marinas.

Along the area we visit and during the time we sail in the Caribbean, there are few marinas like these. However, there are plenty of turquoise bays, so we either moor at a buoy or anchor at most of the stops during the trip. The dinghy on board will allow you to explore the bay or possibly take you ashore, if desired.

Afterwards, we head south from Martinique or St. Lucia to the next island. It is called St. Vincent. Here you will see black sand beaches because the island has long had an active volcano, cool and different. Many people associate St. Vincent with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' because parts of the movies were filmed here. Especially famous from the movies is the bay of Wallilabou Bay.

Magical islands

On the way down to Grenada, we sail through a lot of magical islands. We start with Isla de Quatre, which is just below Bequia. Then we head towards Mustique, which is a privately owned island. Canouan is the first island we encounter after sailing in the open blue. Then we have the island of Mayreau which stands out with the popular beach of Salt Whistle Bay. Tobago Cays is the next island, which is also a national park. These natural beauties are really hard to beat and simply must be experienced. You might want to walk barefoot along the beach, hearing the waves roll in while watching the sun set on the horizon. Truly magical.

Further on, we sail between islands such as Union Island, Petite St. Vincent and Carriacou. Finally, we pass Ronde Island, an uninhabited volcanic island, before reaching Grenada. Then we turn back north. On the way back we pass the same islands, but from the other side and stop at new exciting places.

The islands are tropically green with deep jungle and vegetation. Rain clouds gather around the high peaks, sometimes bringing a welcome shower. After just a few minutes, the rain is gone and the warm sun quickly dries off the deck. A sailing trip in the Caribbean is as exciting as it is varied.

The islands of the Caribbean offer a wonderful variety of places to visit, while allowing plenty of time for sailing, sunbathing, swimming and relaxing. A journey with experiences that provide memories for life. Please note that the sailing route and places we visit may change depending on weather and wind. What never changes is our passion to deliver a magical experience in a class of its own, á la sailing trip in the Caribbean.

Weather conditions while sailing in the Caribbean

Winter in the Caribbean is anything but winter. From our Swedish perspective of course. The lovely temperature during the winter months is 28-29 lovely degrees. The water is just as warm. Super nice weather conditions to enjoy a magical vacation in the form of a sailing trip in the Caribbean. Could it get any better?

More Sailing boats for sailing holidays in the Caribbean

We have over 50 boats in our fleet, but we don't sail them all in the Caribbean. We choose the larger and more spacious sailing yachts with five cabins where up to ten guests can stay comfortably. The comfort of our boats is guaranteed. So is safety and service. On our boats, you have everything you want, and one task: to relax and breathe in all the exoticism that a Caribbean sailing trip can offer.

On board the boat, around the table in the cockpit, both breakfast and lunch are served. The spacious saloon provides comfortable socializing space for all travelers on the boat. The foredeck is usually the favorite place on board the boat. Here you can sunbathe, hear the sound of the waves or maybe see a dolphin jumping in front of the bow. At the back of the boat there is a bathing jetty and ladder that makes it easy to get in and out of the cooling sea. Or maybe swim with the dolphins.

In our fleet there are 2 different boat models from the boat manufacturer Fountaine Pajot on a sailing trip in the Caribbean, namely Saba 50 and Saona 47. We also have 2 pieces from the Lagoon family which are the models Lagoon 52 and Lagoon 50. We also sail with the latest addition Excess 15.

We climate compensate your sailing trip in the Caribbean

From 2019, More Sailing climate compensates all sailing trips we arrange to 110%. This means that you who travel with us contribute more positively with climate-positive measures than the negative co2 impact that your sailing trip has. We also offset all internal travel for staff and other impacts the company has to be at least climate neutral.

CO2 emissions and global warming are a threat to all living things on our planet. Sailing is environmentally friendly but air travel to the sailboat is not. The flight accounts for 95% of the negative climate impact when you buy a sailing trip in the Caribbean. By More Sailing investing in various climate projects, we offset the CO2 emissions caused by the sailing trip by 110%.

We do not consider that we buy a clean conscience through climate compensation, but we do something concrete to slow down global warming. Carbon offsetting of CO2 is included in all our sailing trips, it is not possible to opt out.
