Ride the Wake!

Get ready for the ultimate splash at Sail Caribbean! Whether you’re zooming across the waves on a tube, carving through the water on waterskis, or something in between, we’ve got it all! Hop aboard one of our 15- to 20-foot ski boats where our awesome crew will help you either master your skills or take your very first thrilling ride. But the fun doesn’t stop there – we’ll also dive into some of the best snorkeling spots in the BVI, exploring the vibrant underwater world together. And when we drop anchor, there’s always a paddleboard ready to go, so you can jump in and start exploring right away! Adventure is waiting, and there’s never a dull moment at this watersports camp!

Being SafeOn The Water

While living aboard a sailing yacht, our students dive into a world of exciting activities, all while prioritizing safety. For every watersport, students are required to wear a lifejacket, and our expert staff are always close by to ensure everyone’s safe and having fun. Whether they’re leading a snorkeling adventure, cruising alongside the small sailboats in a dinghy, or keeping a watchful eye as a spotter on the ski boats, our staff are there every step of the way, making sure the fun never stops!

Our Activities

Hop aboard one of our 15-20-foot ski boats and get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Whether you’re flying across the water on a tube, mastering your skills on skis, or giving the wakeboard or kneeboard a go, you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time. Our staff follow strict safety protocols, making sure everyone stays safe and sound with life jackets and helmets securely on. It’s all about fun, excitement, and making memories!

Get ready to explore the vibrant underwater world with multiple snorkels throughout the program! Some of our favorite spots to dive into include The Indians at Norman Island, Little Harbor on Peter Island, and Monkey Point on Guana Island. While these are definitely highlights, there’s a whole treasure trove of amazing locations we love to visit! Every snorkel adventure kicks off with a safety briefing from our staff, teaching students how to protect the marine life and navigate the waters responsibly. Then, the fun begins as our staff lead the group, pointing out colorful fish, teaching hand signals, and sharing all sorts of exciting underwater discoveries!

Whether or not a student is pursuing an American Sailing certification, they’re always welcome to hop aboard one of our Colgate 26s for an exciting sail! On certain days, students will also get the chance to sail other small boats, like the speedy Hobie Cats. Our staff will be right there with them, keeping an eye on everything from a dinghy as they zip across the water, offering guidance and support along the way!

Each of our yachts comes with its very own paddleboard, ready for adventure! Once we’re tied to a mooring ball or anchored in the sand, students are invited to glide through the crystal-clear blue waters, or paddle over to visit friends on another boat. It’s the perfect way to explore and enjoy the beautiful surroundings!

Frequently asked questions

None! Many students come with little or no experience at all, but you do need to know how to swim and enjoy being in and around the water. Our captains and mates will teach you everything you need to know about sailing safely and at your own pace.

The ASA courses are “challenge courses.” Candidates will learn the theoretical requirements for this certification along with everyone else during our regular sailing instruction. Candidates will participate in seminars and have opportunities to practice their sailing skills on small keelboats, before being challenged by a practical exam. Free time is built into each camper’s day, so that optional courses don’t take students away from the fun!

If you’d like to take a break from watersports, you’ll have many other activities to enjoy. Share a smoothie with the amazing friends you’ve made, or hop on an inflatable unicorn and soak up the Caribbean sun. Still hungry? Grab delicious healthy snacks in the galley!

Life jackets are worn for all watersports, small boats and even on our 50’ yacht boats while under sail or power. Harnesses are worn during all night sails.
