Day 1: Marigot melodies: Sint Maarten

Board J SPARROW in Sint Maarten, beginning your voyage amid a blend of Dutch ease and Caribbean sparkle. Spend the afternoon settling in, swimming from the stern, or taking the tender to explore the nearby shoreline. As evening falls, enjoy your first sundowners on deck as the island lights begin to shimmer across the water.

Day 2: Gourmet breezes in Grand Case

A leisurely sail brings you to Grand Case on the French side of St Martin, famed for its culinary scene and crescent of white sand. Drop anchor in the calm bay, snorkel the reef or paddle along the coastline before heading ashore for an evening of refined, beachside dining under lantern-lit palms.

Day 3: Turquoise tranquillity at Tintamarre

Wake to the unspoilt beauty of Tintamarre Island. This nature reserve offers crystalline water, gentle swells and excellent snorkelling among colourful reef fish and sea turtles. Spend the day drifting between swimming, sunbathing and beach walks on powder-soft sand, with a relaxed lunch served on board.

Day 4: Glamour and grace in Gustavia, St Barths

Cross to St Barths and anchor off Gustavia, where understated glamour meets laid-back island life. Explore the chic harbour, browse designer boutiques or sip coffee at a waterside café. Return to J SPARROW for a candlelit dinner on deck as yachts glitter in the night anchorage.

Day 5: Southbound passage to Antigua

Set sail on a longer, scenic crossing towards Antigua, carried by steady trade winds. Enjoy a day at sea aboard J SPARROW – reading on the foredeck, dipping into the ocean mid-passage, or simply watching the endless blue horizon slide by as the crew attend to every detail.

Day 6: Historic horizons in English Harbour, Antigua

Arrive in English Harbour, one of the Caribbean’s most storied maritime settings. Step ashore to explore Nelson’s Dockyard, wander past restored Georgian buildings, or take in the viewpoints over Falmouth Harbour. Back on board, enjoy a sunset cocktail as golden light washes over the surrounding hills.

Day 7: Beachfront bliss in Dickenson Bay

Your final day is spent in Dickenson Bay, a sweeping stretch of pale sand lapped by clear, gentle water. Swim, paddleboard or relax beneath the Caribbean sun before a farewell lunch aboard J SPARROW. As the week draws to a close, toast to the trade winds, the turquoise sea and an unforgettable voyage.
