September 2026: One Extraordinary Week in French Polynesia

Some dreams live on bucket lists for years. This is the one that finally turns a dream into reality.

Join Captain Wendy, beloved by her Vineyard guests for her warm hospitality and confident seamanship, for an unforgettable seven-night sailing adventure through the Society Islands.

Aboard an elegant sailing catamaran with three guest cabins for up to six guests, you’ll explore the legendary lagoons of Bora Bora, Raiatea, and Taha'a—where emerald mountains rise from impossibly clear turquoise water.

Each day brings a new anchorage and new experiences:

  • Snorkeling vibrant coral gardens and an unforgettable drift snorkel through a reef pass
  • Swimming with graceful stingrays in warm, crystal-clear lagoons
  • Visiting a traditional Tahitian pearl farm
  • Hiking lush volcanic islands with sweeping lagoon views
  • Experiencing Polynesian music and dance beneath the stars
  • Paddleboarding, swimming, and sunset sailing in secluded anchorages
     

Life aboard moves at the perfect island rhythm—morning swims straight from the boat, afternoons exploring hidden coves, and evenings beneath the brilliant South Pacific sky.


Seven nights. Three extraordinary islands. One unforgettable voyage.


Includes the yacht, Captain Wendy's professional services, and provisions for meals aboard.

Meals are self-catered, allowing your group to cook together and enjoy the relaxed pace of life at sea. Prefer a fully indulgent experience? A private onboard chef can be arranged for an additional fee.

 Private sailing experience — from $5,000 per person
Limited to six guests.


Our multi-day liveaboard sailing vacations are offered between November and April. Learn more about our destination sails below or just  contact us to reserve your destination sail.

Jan 2027: Sail The British Virgin Islands with Captain Wendy

Legendary Caribbean Sailing — Easy to Reach, Impossible to Forget

The British Virgin Islands are widely considered the sailing capital of the Caribbean—and once you arrive, it’s easy to see why. Steady trade winds, protected passages, and islands just a short sail apart create the perfect setting for an unforgettable week at sea with Captain Wendy at the helm.

Days are spent sailing crystal-clear waters, snorkeling vibrant reefs, and dropping anchor at legendary beaches. Evenings bring a different rhythm—barefoot dinners ashore, live music drifting from beach bars, and sunsets that seem designed to keep you lingering just a little longer.

Your week in the BVIs may include:

  • Sailing through the island chain with steady Caribbean trade winds
  • Exploring the famous granite boulders and hidden pools of The Baths
  • Anchoring off the legendary white sands of Jost Van Dyke and visiting the iconic Soggy Dollar Bar
  • Snorkeling coral reefs and swimming in warm turquoise coves
  • Paddleboarding quiet anchorages and learning the art of sailing along the way
  • Beachside dinners, live island music, and relaxed Caribbean nightlife
     

Your charter includes the yacht, Captain Wendy’s professional services, onboard provisions for self-catered breakfasts and lunches, and all cruising permits, national park fees, taxes, and moorings. Evenings are typically spent enjoying the islands ashore, where the BVIs’ vibrant beach bars and restaurants come alive after sunset.


An easy escape. A legendary sailing destination. A week in the Caribbean you’ll wish lasted longer.


Private sailing adventure — from $3,500 per person
Based on six guests aboard a luxury sailing catamaran. Gratuity not included. Larger groups may be accommodated upon request.


Our multi-day liveaboard sailing vacations are offered between November and April. Learn more about our destination sails or just  contact us to reserve your destination sail.
