Live aboard sail training in the Caribbean

All sail training programs aboard SAMANA are live aboard courses which include all meals and all learning materials.

You live aboard your vessel for all of the sailing courses in the program. We sail in one of the most spectacular cruising areas in the world, the Caribbean Sea.

Your sail training course begins in St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. Each day we sail to a new port. In the Caribbean port of calls include St John, St. Croix, Culebra, Vieques and Saint Thomas. The Caribbean Sea is known for excellent winds, excellent sailors, good anchoring, magnificent snorkeling reefs, and sheer stunning beauty.

Your sailing home, “SAMANA”, provides outstanding cuisine. Wholesome and delicious meals are the rule for on-board dining. Letty prepares many dinners indigenous to her Dutch homeland. A complete menu for the week is listed below.
