WINDJAMMER

SAILING LIVES ON

Island Windjammers offers

fans of the tall-ship chartering

experience six- and 12-night itin-

eraries throughout the Virgins,

Leeward and Windward islands

of the Caribbean.

With all-inclusive per-person

rates, the company—which

was formed in 2008 by veterans

of the former Windjammer

Barefoot Cruises—operates

with a fleet including the

schooner Diamant, the

triple-masted Vela and the

motorsailer Sagitta. Diamant,

just longer than 100 feet,

accommodates 10 guests; Vela is

156 feet and takes 26 passengers;

and Sagitta is 120 feet and hosts

24 guests. Rates are based

on season, and include meals,

beverages, cabin service, port

charges and taxes, as well as

snorkel gear. Cabins are air-con-

ditioned, and feature 110-volt

outlets and blow dryers.

Itineraries are flexible;

guests have time to explore

each port of call. Onboard

activities include swimming and

snorkeling from the ship, taking

a turn on the rope swing, and

using the ship’s paddleboards

and kayaks.

In addition to the traditional

weekly cruise offerings, spe-

cialty theme cruises are offered,

including Taste of the Islands

Caribbean Cuisine Cruise, Rum

Cruise, Solo Sojourns, Island

Hops Beer Cruise, and Pirate

Week. For details, visit

islandwindjammers.com.
