The experience

This is our favorite day out: a full sail to Anguilla's protected waters for some of the best snorkeling and whitest sand in the region.

As we pass the tiny islet of Anguillita, the crew serves fresh baguette sandwiches. That way, when we drop anchor at Prickly Pear, everyone is ready to jump straight in. Prickly Pear is an uninhabited island inside Anguilla's nature reserve, ringed by reef, with a beach that looks unreal. The crew provides all the gear and is in the water to help.

From there we sail to Meads Bay on Anguilla itself (or Cove Bay, depending on the wind) for a buffet lunch on board: barbecue chicken and ribs, potato and Caesar salads, Gouda and more. Afterwards you can swim, float with a noodle, or visit the floating bar.

The afternoon brings a relaxed downwind sail along the coast with cake and grapes. The day ends with a French champagne toast and a pass by Maho Beach as the jets come in.
