Day Sailing
Spend a day sailing the Caribbean aboard YEMAYA, our 60-foot sailing yacht. Leave Dominica in the morning for a real sailing experience with swimming, snorkelling, lunch and time to relax at sea.
Take the helm and get involved with the sailing, or simply relax on deck and enjoy the journey. Along the way, keep watch for dolphins and whales in the waters around Dominica.
Sail from Dominica to Îles des Saintes
Set sail north from Dominica towards the beautiful Îles des Saintes. Enjoy the passage under sail before arriving among the islands for time to swim, snorkel and enjoy a relaxed lunch.
After exploring the clear waters and Caribbean scenery, sail back to Dominica in the afternoon.

Return to Dominica in the afternoon after a full day at sea.
