We spent 90 days in 2015-2016 in the Caribbean, with friends and family visiting and lots of island hopping.
ByAmy As we sailed from Recife, Brazil to the Caribbean, the world started to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’d made the decision to aim for Antigua, which ended up being absolutely perfect. We arrived in St John’s, the only port of entry open, on March 26th and cleared into the country, aware that…
ByAmy It’s hard to believe our time in the Caribbean is over, but it is! We arrived in the BVIs on November 10th, 2015, and we left Grenada on February 17th. That’s 99 days cruising the Caribbean! How Much Time is Right? And before you say it – yes, we know our trip through the Caribbean was far…
ByAmy We’ve been really putting the pedal to the metal in Grenada. Our visit to the main island of Grenada has only been two stops: Grenada Marine and St. George’s, and we know we are missing out on plenty of interesting things to do in Grenada. Knowing that we have major miles to go in the…

About Soufrière The French founded Soufrière and made it the first capital of Saint…

Chartering in Saint Lucia We were cruising Saint Lucia via our own sailboat, but there are charter bases in Saint Lucia. The Dream Yacht Charters itinerary includes going…
ByAmy We arrived from the Saints of Guadeloupe into Prince Rupert Bay at about 6 pm. The sun set shortly after we arrived. When we were about a mile out, we were approached by one of the PAYS guides. We did two fun tours in Dominica: the Island Tour and the Indian River Tour. Portsmouth is…
ByAmy About Dominica This is the most we have seen of any single island in the Caribean. If you don’t know much about Dominica, you should know it’s tiny! Not just size, but it is the most undeveloped country in the Carib. Unfortunately, I think Dominica has to deal with a lot of issues within the country….
