Most of those who join us during the summer have never actually lived onboard a boat though many have had some kind of sailing experience. Cooking, cleaning, and every other aspect of shipboard life requires that all crew members work together as a team. Our fleet is made up of spacious sailboats designed specifically to fit our cruising needs. But while space and resources are ample, they cannot be taken for granted. We grow accustomed to conserving our supplies and passing things back and forth rather than trying to walk over or through one another.
Teamwork is involved in nearly every task onboard.
It may require an adjustment at first but there is a great deal of pride derived from living as part of a crew. All of our students sail and live onboard Stardust 515s or 525s. These 51-foot sloops, made by Beneteau and Jeanneau, are ideal for cruising. Our fleet of custom built scuba diving boats are perfect for the conditions in the British Virgin Islands. Our brand new Newton 36 was designed and built exclusively for Sail Caribbean and can accommodate up to 22 divers at a time.
