Day 1 St. Martin
Arriving in St. Martin, it is but a short drive along the calm lagoon of Simpson Bay to Marigot. Near the crystal clear waters of Marigot Bay, you’ll have time to explore this charming blend of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean that is the hallmark of this French colony. Besides great shopping—the entire island is duty free—you can enjoy wonderful dining along the bistro-lined wharfs at Port Royale, just steps away, or take a short expedition to the beachfront scene at Grand Case, the gastronomic center of St. Martin. Dinner is on your own.
Day 2 Tetamare and St. Bart's (B,L)
Breakfast will be served while we sail to Tentamare, where depending on the weather (Captain’s choice) we will stop for snorkeling and lunch or continue onto St. Bart’s. Once clear of Tentamare - we’ll set sail for a glorious reach across the Caribbean Sea - the green peaks off of Morne du Vitet just visible on the horizon. By late afternoon we’ll be furling sails as we glide into the protected harbor of Gustavia, the principle town on St. Bart’s. After checking into St. Bart’s we’ll immediately head ashore to take in the sights and sounds of this sophisticated French port, where shopping and food are the best in the Caribbean.
Day 3 Gustavia (B,L,D)
Awakening amongst the mega yachts off Gustavia, savor breakfast at anchor off Corossal Beach. Today you may sail to the anchorage at Columbier Bay, where you can spend the day enjoying the isolated beach accessible only by boat. Or you may choose to stay ashore for the day in Gustavia. Arrangements can be made for sport fishing, diving excursions or a private tour of the island. Be sure to check out the unique boutiques that St. Bart’s is famous for—don’t forget your wallet! By early evening Arabella will be dropping her sails as we return to Gustavia. This evening we will enjoy a wonderful dinner in a building that was built in Bali, called Eddie’s.
Day 4 St Kitts (B,L)
This is the day that we really let Arabella show you what a sailing cruise is all about. The wind takes us from the jewel of St. Bart's to St. Kitt's, as she is called, but St. Christopher's is her given name . Upon arrival we will clear customs, and chef has prepared lunch. St. Timothy's Beach Resort in Friggate Bay is our anchorage and has a host of great spots to stop for refreshment along the beach. Dinner is on your own tonight in one of the many restaurants ashore or in Basseterre , the nearby town.
Day 5 Nevis (B,L,D)
Queen of the Caribbean, Nevis takes you back in time when stress was just a word, not a way of life. With natural vegetation that is unparallel, green and serene, Nevis is truly one of the remaining unspoiled places. From the top of the 3,232 ft. Nevis Peak to the depths of the clear waters offshore, there is a world of flora and fauna to be explored. In the mountains, the comical green vervet monkeys chatter and scamper. Stroll around and see the architecture of eras gone by: churches, windmills and refurbished Great Houses. There is no shortage of exciting adventures awaiting you in Nevis . Dinner is aboard.
Day 6 St. Kitts (B,L,D)
The day begins at sunrise as we leisurely sail the short distance back to St. Kitt's for a full day of exploration. The atmosphere here is luxuriant seductive, and unspoiled. Nature lovers will thrill at the intoxicating natural beauty of its tropical rain forest areas, lava formations and seaside lagoons. Visit Brimstone Hill National Park one of the best preserved historical fortifications in the Americas or ride the St. Kitt's scenic railway called “The Sugar Train”. Quaint shopping areas and beautiful Colonial architecture give this corner of paradise a charm all her own. At night we will dine together at Sunset Café with local flair.
Day 7 St. Kitts and Good bye (B)
After a farewell Captain’s Brunch aboard, you bid farewell to the sparkling waters and lush islands and passengers disembark in St. Kitts, enjoying the final moments and memories of their cruise.
