The journey takes place in the heart of the Lesser Antilles in the southern Caribbean and focuses on the islands around St. Vincent and the Grenadines. These islands enchant with turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and a unique island landscape in the middle of the Caribbean. On Union Island, spectacular kitesurfing spots and a relaxed island atmosphere await you, while the Tobago Cays are considered a true natural paradise: crystal-clear waters, colorful coral reefs, free-swimming sea turtles, and a breathtaking backdrop make this one of the most beautiful sailing destinations in the world.

The catamaran trip is aimed at active people, water sports enthusiasts, and nature and outdoor lovers. The concept appeals equally to solo travelers, couples, or small groups who value an intense communal experience (crew life) on board.Kitesurfers & Wingfoilers: The area in the Strait of Bonifacio offers ideal conditions for all skill levels. Advanced riders will find challenging strong wind conditions and exclusive spots here.Beginners & Learners: Thanks to professional coaching and the ship's own rescue service, a safe learning environment is guaranteed for those interested in kitesurfing and wingfoiling.Sailing enthusiasts and crew members: No prior sailing experience is necessary. Anyone who wants to actively participate in sailing and experience life on a modern catamaran is in the right place.Non-kiters / accompanying persons: Thanks to a diverse alternative program (no-wind activities) such as snorkeling, hikes, via ferrata and cultural excursions in La Maddalena or Bonifacio, the trip offers a high experiential value even without water sports.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines offer exceptionally consistent conditions for kitesurfing, wing foiling, and sailing from January to April. The reliable northeast trade winds are often accelerated to particularly clean and consistent levels here due to the open location in the southern Caribbean. Add to that the year-round warm temperatures – sessions are possible in rash guards throughout the year.MonthwindAir temperatureWater temperatureJanuaryConsistent & reliable (NE Passat)28°C26–27°CFebruaryConstant & stable (Trade Wind)28°C26–27°CMarchConstant, often somewhat stronger29°C27°CAprilStable & reliable29°C27–28°CImportant to know: The hurricane season usually ends in December, after which stable and safe conditions for kite and sailing trips begin.

Depending on the season and year, the catamaran cruise departs from either Grenada or St. Lucia to optimally explore the Grenadine islands. IMPORTANT: Many other cruises depart from Martinique, making the journey seem easier and faster. However, from Martinique, expect a two-day sailing trip, meaning the first and last days of the cruise will be spent on a long crossing.The respective departure port on Grenada or St. Lucia can be easily reached by taxi from the international airports of the two islands – Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) on Grenada or Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) on St. Lucia.Germany, Austria & Switzerland: Excellent year-round connections from the DACH region are available with short layovers via London, the USA, or Canada. Alternatively, travel via the neighboring island of Barbados (BGI) is an option, which is served directly by Condor. From there, several short, regional connecting flights daily to Grenada (GND) or St. Lucia (UVF) are available with airlines such as interCaribbean Airways or Caribbean Airlines.UK: London Heathrow (LHR) (via Virgin Atlantic) and London Gatwick (LGW) (via British Airways) offer regular non-stop flights to both Grenada (GND) and St. Lucia (UVF).Canada direct flights: Air Canada and WestJet connect Toronto (YYZ) with Grenada (GND) and St. Lucia (UVF) nonstop during the high season.USA direct flights: American Airlines flies nonstop from Miami (MIA) and Charlotte (CLT), JetBlue from New York (JFK) and Delta Air Lines from Atlanta (ATL) directly to both islands.Please note: For all flight routes with stopovers or transit through the United Kingdom (UK), the USA, or Canada, an electronic transit visa (e.g., ESTA for the USA or eTA for Canada) is required in advance. This can be easily applied for online and is inexpensive. The team is available to answer any questions you may have.In addition, there are numerous regional direct connections between the Caribbean islands (via interCaribbean Airways or Caribbean Airlines) – ideal for combining the catamaran cruise with an extended stay in the Caribbean.

Citizens of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, all other member states of the European Union (EU), as well as the USA and Canada, do not require a visa to enter Grenada or St. Lucia for purely tourist stays.For a smooth and visa-free entry, the following documents and requirements must be met upon arrival:Passport: A regular, valid passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of departure from Antigua & Barbuda. (Important for guests from the USA: Temporary passports or "passport cards" are generally not accepted for air travel).Return or onward travel ticket: A confirmed ticket that proves the planned departure from the island nation.Proof of accommodation: A confirmation of the booked accommodation (e.g. the booking confirmation for the catamaran).

Several options are available for transfers from the airport directly to the marina:Organized shuttle service: Upon request, a reliable transfer can be coordinated with proven local driving partners.Rental car option: Alternatively, you can pick up a rental car directly at the airport and easily return it to the station in the marina.To coordinate the optimal travel option, simply send an email request.

Depending on the starting point of the voyage, crew changes will take place in well-known ports on Grenada (such as Port Louis Marina in St. George's) or on St. Lucia (such as Rodney Bay Marina in the north or Marigot Bay). Specific information regarding the exact port and berth for each embarkation will be provided well in advance of the voyage. If you require this information beforehand, please feel free to request it directly.Since the infrastructure and facilities of the individual harbors vary, detailed information about the specific conditions on site will be provided when the berth is assigned. However, modern sanitary facilities, electricity, and water hookups are standard at the main marinas on both islands. Well-stocked supermarkets for provisions and direct access to restaurants, cafés, or bars are within walking distance of almost all marinas.

The fixed times for changing crew on board the catamaran are as follows:Check-in: Arrival day from 6:00 PMCheck-out: Departure day by 9:00 AMThese times ensure the necessary and thorough preparation as well as the technical maintenance of the yacht between individual cruises.

The itinerary for the catamaran cruise in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is flexible and primarily determined by current wind and weather conditions. This offshore concept allows for avoiding fixed schedules and always heading to the areas with the best kite and wing foil conditions, influenced by the consistent trade winds.Typical highlights of the route include:Tobago Cays: A world-famous, protected marine reserve. The huge, horseshoe-shaped reef protects the turquoise lagoon from waves and offers a spectacular flat-water kitesurfing area where you can kite right next to sea turtles and rays.Union Island (Frigate Island & Clifton Harbor): The ultimate kitesurfing hotspot in the Grenadines. Frigate Island offers mirror-smooth flat water and consistent wind, while lively Clifton provides a unique backdrop with its famous new "Happy Island" – a bar built entirely from seashells.Mayreau (Salt Whistle Bay): One of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean. A narrow, palm-fringed sandy beach separates the calm, turquoise waters of the bay from the windward side, creating perfect conditions for kiters and wing foilers right on the beach.Barbecue on the beach (lobster dinner): An exclusive culinary highlight on one of the uninhabited islands (such as Petit Tabac or Mayreau), where freshly caught lobster or local fish is prepared directly on a secluded Caribbean beach away from mass tourism.

The culinary offerings on board are based on a high-quality full-board concept, specifically tailored to the needs of active water sports enthusiasts:Breakfast: A wide selection of sweet and savory items is offered. These include eggs, avocados, fresh bread, vegetables, cold cuts, jams, honey, and muesli, complemented by regional specialties and occasional treats such as fresh pancakes.Lunch: Light, nutritious dishes are prepared for lunchtime, ideal for active days on the water. The menu includes items such as chickpea or lentil salads, wraps, or freshly prepared tarte flambée.Dinner: The culinary day concludes with a communal cooking session on board. Traditional Italian pasta dishes, creamy risotto, or a barbecue are served on the catamaran's open-air deck.

Shore excursions and restaurant visits are an integral part of the travel concept, allowing visitors to experience the culinary and cultural diversity of the region:Restaurant visits: Three to four group dinners in local port towns are planned during the trip. This offers the opportunity to experience authentic Caribbean cuisine. (Note: These restaurant visits are not included in the full board price).Flexible shore excursions: All further stays ashore are arranged flexibly. Planning is primarily based on current wind conditions, the chosen route, and the individual preferences of the crew to guarantee a spontaneous and perfectly coordinated overall experience.

Yes, both equipment rental and participation in kite and wing foil courses are possible on site.To guarantee the availability of suitable equipment and free places for the courses, registration in advance of the trip is required. However, spontaneous bookings or rentals on site are also possible, subject to availability and free capacity on board.

The Grenadines sailing area in the Lesser Antilles is considered one of the most exclusive and diverse kitesurfing, wingfoiling, and sailing destinations in the world. The interplay of the reliable northeast trade winds, expansive shallow-water lagoons, and pristine tropical nature creates a unique maritime experience.The sailing area's special features include:The constant trade winds: The northeast trade winds blow extremely reliably and evenly at 15 to 25 knots during the winter and spring months – ideal conditions for all kinds of water sports.Perfect shallow water areas: Huge lagoons, protected by the offshore reefs of the Tobago Cays, offer mirror-smooth, waist-deep water in the middle of the open ocean.Solitude away from mass tourism: Many of the small islands and bays (such as Mayreau or Petit Tabac) fascinate with their seemingly endless, deserted sandy beaches and untouched natural scenery, which is often only accessible by yacht.Premium Caribbean crew life: The unique combination of tropical water temperatures (kiting without a wetsuit), culinary highlights such as fresh lobster on the beach and the legendary, relaxed Caribbean flair of the Grenadines.

The onboard program combines sporting activities with flexible, wind-dependent route planning and shared experiences:Arrival day and boarding: After successful check-in on board, the ship will immediately leave the port to spend the first night at anchor in a sheltered bay. This allows for an immediate start to relaxation amidst the natural scenery.Morning routine: The day optionally begins with a yoga and body-and-mind session on the catamaran's outer deck. This is followed by a hearty breakfast together on deck, before we review the day's plan together.Daily program (kitesurfing, sailing, activities): Depending on the current wind conditions, a kitesurfing spot will be visited in the morning. This concept allows for flexibility in responding to the conditions – whether by staying at one spot all day or changing locations. Several sessions on the water are possible each day.Additional activities and evening entertainment: In addition to water sports, the program includes shore excursions, hikes, or cultural visits to port cities like Antiparos. If there is no wind, wakeboarding or wakefoiling sessions are offered directly behind the catamaran. The evening concludes on board under the open starry sky with pleasant conversation.
