About Us

Caribbean

Jolly Harbour, Antigua & Barbuda, CARIBBEAN

From our office in Jolly Harbour you can explore the island and some of its 365 beaches during your week of sailing with us.  For those on a Coastal Skipper course or Cruising charter, we might also visit our neighboring islands of Barbuda, St. Kitts, Nevis or St. Barths. Grenada and Martinique are common destinations during  Milebuilder and other events.

We also offer day cruises, sunset sails, as well as vacations for singles, families and friends, yoga & sail retreats, as well as special events.

In Antigua we offer the entire RYA Sail cruising scheme courses on three levels: Start Sailing, Become a Skipper, Become a Yachtmaster – as well as one-day courses such as VHF SRC Radio & special workshops.

We participate in Caribbean Season’s Regattas, from Grenada Sailing Week to the fabulous RORC 600 Caribbean, the Heineken St. Maarten and St. Barths, to name a few.

Our Women at the Helm programs are also fully supported in the Caribbean.

Italy

Pisa, Tuscany, ITALY

From our base in Pisa, Italy, we sail along the Tuscan coast and either explore the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago or the picturesque coastline and small towns of Liguria.  We navigate north all the way up to Portofino via Cinqueterre and the Gulf of Poets and in the south and west we sail to Elba, Capraia, and Corsica with occasional jaunts to beautiful Sardinia on our mileage builder courses.  

In Pisa we also offer day cruises, sunset sails, as well as vacations for singles, families and friends, yoga & sail retreats, and a spectacular sail, bike, and vineyard tour as well as special events.

At our base in Italy the training centre supports the entire RYA Sail Cruising Scheme courses on all three levels: Start Sailing, Become a Skipper, Become a Yachtmaster – as well as one-day courses such as VHF SRC Radio & special workshops. 

Women at the Helm was created in Italy and we continue to focus on it in our programs.

We participate in many Regattas, including the 151 Miglia, the Giraglia, and the RORC Middle Sea Race.  We start our Atlantic journey with deliveries to Mallorca and to Gibraltar on the way to the Canaries before the Atlantic Crossing back to the Caribbean.
