Barbados Full Day Hands On Sailing Experience Small Group Max 6

7 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

SailDeep is small-group sailing in Barbados on a 36ft monohull. Max 6 guests. I’m Logan, your skipper, and this is my boat Nayru. With me alongside you’ll take the helm, trim the sails and get a feel for how a yacht actually works, or just sit back and enjoy the sail. We sail the west and south coasts depending on the day, anchor somewhere quieter for a swim, snorkel and lunch, then sail back.

There’s a moment on every sail when the engine goes off, the sails fill, and the only sound is water on the hull.

Max 6 guests
Actually sail a 36ft sailboat
Skipper-owner at the helm

If you’ve been looking for a day on the water that’s less cruise and more voyage, this is it.

What's Included

Masks, snorkels & fins are provided for everyone
Soda/Pop
Bottled water
Snacks
Snorkel vests / Life Jacket (Type 3 PFD)
Half the fun is heading ashore for lunch, discovering a local spot and tasting Barbados. If you’d rather we handle food, that can be arranged as an add-on.
Alcohol isn’t included, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Keep in mind this is a hands-on sail, so how much you drink shapes how well you can take part. We’ll keep it cold.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

We'll meet at the Pebbles Beach car-park in Carlisle Bay, next to Cuzz’s (the man with best fish cutters on the island!). Tell your driver Pebbles Beach or The Barbados Cruising Club and they’ll know where to go. Allow 45-60 minutes travel time. Barbados is small but the traffic is not.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

You spend the day as part of the action on-board our 36ft Beneteau Oceanis Nayru, and get back to shore before nightfall.

--WHAT A DAY ABOARD LOOKS LIKE --

Meet at your chosen time.

Transfer Onboard

Safety and boat briefing, hoist the sails and set sail

Let out the fishing line and see if we can catch lunch.

Actually sail the boat: get a feel for how the wind, sails, helm and you all come together. Everyone can take turns on the helm and help adjust the sails.

Drop anchor in a sheltered spot for a swim, snorkel and lunch. Sail back along the coast and return to our starting point before dark.

The exact route and stops depend on conditions and what makes sense on the day.

--PARTICIPATION & SKILLS --

You are invited to be part of the journey at a level that matches your interest and experience. Steer the boat under guidance. Pitch a hammock on deck while at anchor. Try your luck with the fishing rod. Help with sail trim and basic manoeuvres. Assist with sweating the main or weighing anchor.

You do not need any sailing experience. The ability to swim is recommended. You should feel comfortable in the water and be reasonably fit and steady on your feet.
