The promise

Sail. Breathe. Reset.

You don't need another vacation. You need a week where Tuesday feels like Saturday - where the only schedule is the tide, and the only notifications are dolphins off the bow.

Twelve guests, One catamaran, Someone who tracks the weather like a pulse, and a galley that turns out a fresh, inspired meal every night if desired. But the real secret ingredient is the crew — that's you. Here, the kitchen is a communal stage where we gather to prep, grill, and share stories as the sun dips below the horizon.

We sail the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and the Mediterranean. The boat goes where the day-charter crowds don't.

The life you've been putting off - it starts the moment the lines come off the dock.

Five regions

The boat goes where day-charter crowds don't.

Five to seven nights at anchor, mooring to mooring, on a schedule the wind writes.

From our guests

Three guests, three trips. One thing in common.

Our trip with Guiding Winds was nothing short of perfection. We spent our days island hopping and soaking up every bit of the sun on the catamaran. Dodie and Clint have truly mastered the art of hospitality - they made everything feel so effortless and dreamy. If you're looking for gorgeous waters and a stress-free getaway, this is it. We can't wait to come back.

What an unbelievable experience. We loved the balance of relaxing in the sun and getting some fishing in. The catamaran is the perfect way to see the islands, and the water was absolutely stunning. Huge thanks to Dodie and Clint for being such incredible hosts. They made the entire journey seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend.

I've done a fair share of traveling, but this trip with Guiding Winds stands out. Island hopping on the catamaran was the highlight of my year - the views were incredible and the fishing was top-notch. Dodie and Clint are the real deal; they handle all the details so you can just enjoy the gorgeous scenery. A truly first-class experience.
