5 or 7 days aboard YEMAYA
Set sail from Dominica aboard YEMAYA for a 5 or 7-day Caribbean sailing adventure through Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe and Îles des Saintes.
This is a sailing vacation for people who want to experience the Caribbean from the sea — not simply visit it. Enjoy real sailing, island hopping, swimming, snorkelling, exploring ashore and relaxed life aboard.
Take the helm and get involved with the sailing, or simply relax on deck and enjoy the journey. No previous sailing experience is required.
Your Caribbean Sailing Adventure
Starting from Dominica, we sail north through some of the most beautiful islands of the French Caribbean.
The route can include Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe and Îles des Saintes, with time to explore ashore, swim in clear Caribbean water, snorkel, enjoy relaxed meals and experience each island at a slower pace.
Sailing between the islands is part of the adventure. Keep watch for dolphins and whales, learn about sailing aboard YEMAYA, or find your favourite place on deck and watch the Caribbean go by.
Choose 5 or 7 Days
5-Day Sailing Adventure
Perfect if you want a taste of Caribbean island-hopping while still having time to enjoy the destinations. Sail between Dominica, Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe and Îles des Saintes, with opportunities for swimming, snorkelling and exploring ashore.
7-Day Sailing Adventure
For a more relaxed experience, choose seven days. Spend longer around the islands, enjoy more time at anchor and ashore, and allow the rhythm of the sea — rather than the clock — to shape the journey.
