From our guests · Caribbean

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.

Before you go

Questions guests actually ask.

The full 27-question FAQ covers everything. If something isn't there, just ask.

Do I need to know how to sail?
No. Clint handles every helm decision. If you want to learn or take the wheel under his eye, he'll teach. If you want to read a book, the boat sails itself with him at the helm.
What does the cabin look like?
Each cabin has an ensuite head (toilet + shower) and a hatch over the bed for stars at night. Air conditioning on shore power; fans underway. The catamaran for each charter is confirmed closer to the departure date.
What if I get seasick?
Catamarans are dramatically more stable than monohulls - most people who get seasick on cruise ships are fine on this boat. Guests should purchase seasickness remedies such as scopolamine patches, Bonine, or ginger on their own and bring them along. The BVI is also one of the most protected sailing grounds on earth - you're almost never out of sight of an island.
Cancellation policy?
A $500 non-refundable deposit is due at booking, and the balance is due one month before the charter. We recommend travelers insurance that lets you cancel for any reason and get a full refund: trawickinternational.com/?agent=21057. We talk through the details with you on a 30-minute intro call before you book.
Can we bring kids?
Yes. The boat sleeps 12 and kids stack in cabins easily. Two notes: this is an adult-pace trip (long dinners, no kids' menu), and there's no formal childcare. If you want a family week, book the whole boat and let us tailor the itinerary.
How long is the trip?
Charters typically run 7 days. Shorter charters are available. Specific weeks are available - see the calendar.
Is there Wi-Fi?
We don't provide onboard internet. Wi-Fi can be purchased for an additional charge, and the connection can be unreliable at times. Most guests embrace the unplug.
