Join us aboard expedition yacht SV Sea Dragon for a spectacular open-ocean passage from Port Louis Marina, Grenada to Club Náutica, Cartagena. Sailing through the southern Caribbean’s steady trade winds, we’ll make our way westward toward the vibrant Dutch Antilles—Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao—before making landfall on the colorful Colombian coast.
This 900-nautical-mile passage combines bluewater adventure with island-hopping exploration. Expect steady winds, warm seas, and the kind of offshore rhythm that only develops on longer voyages. Depending on weather and routing, the skipper may choose to stop in one or more of the ABC islands along the way, offering a chance to stretch your legs, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or enjoy a meal ashore before continuing west.
Hands-on sailing is at the heart of this voyage. You’ll be part of the crew; standing watch, trimming sails, plotting positions, and getting comfortable with life offshore. Whether you’re looking to build sea miles, gain confidence, or simply experience the freedom of a true ocean passage, this voyage offers the perfect mix of challenge and reward.
You’ll also get to
- Experience genuine bluewater sailing through steady Caribbean trade winds
- Learn about passage planning, weather routing, and watch systems on a long ocean leg
- Refine sail trim, helming, and navigation in varied offshore conditions
- Enjoy potential island stopovers in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao
