Epic sailing adventure in the BVIs with Tradewinds

Thirdhome members can only do this trip once in a lifetime without joining Tradewinds. The Captain and First Mate/Chef/Housekeepers were amazing. Kirsty our First Mate was fantastic as was our Captain Brooke. Food Kirsty prepared was very good and Captain Brooke let us sail the 60' Catamaran. We had 3 couples on a boat that would have let us have 10 guests. This gave us a lot of room on the boat to spread out. I highly recommend this sailing adventure with Tradewinds. ”

Fantastic Sailing trip

We spent a beautiful week in the BVI’s. Our crew was awesome. We had delicious fresh food every day. We were able to snorkel, kayak and paddle board every day. I would highly recommend this trip. ”

Excellent trip!

We had a blast in BVI with TradeWinds! The boat was bigger than I imagined with plenty of space for everyone. Days were scheduled but with flexibility in case you have to pick up a lost sole who had their passport stolen 2 days before the trip! :-) service was excellent. The food is “solid”. Highly recommend. ”

Put a BVI Catamaran trip on your list of things you MUST experience!

This trip was really incredible! For anyone nervous about being "out at sea", this is your call to GO!!! You are always close to land with other boats around, so it always feels safe. If you're worried about sea sickness, I do recommend the prescription patch and Bonine on hand as needed -- It gave me peace of mind, so I wasn't worried about getting nauseous. Each day was a new adventure- sailing about 45 minutes to an hour and a half to each day's new location. The pre-trip communication was excellent, so we felt well prepared! On board, our captain and first mate were awesome! They worked seamlessly together! The snorkeling excursions were so much fun and the water was the PERFECT temp! The food was incredible! Our first mate, spoiled us with three delicious full meals each day! Keep in mind when planning flights, that you can't board the boat until 5pm- but there is a beachy bar and grill on site to wait at. There is a "time share" type of membership chat given, but it didn't feel intrusive and it wasn't time intensive. Our friends actually became members as they could see themselves doing 2 more of these trips in the years to come. Again, this trip is a MUST. I'd love to do another catamaran trip in the future!”

Lovely crew, beautiful sites

We had a very nice crew, but weren’t expecting 4 mates to be on board (2 were in training). So, make sure you know the total of people before booking since this was supposed to be a private cruise. We enjoyed the islands, but would have loved to have had more time at several locations. It’s definitely a scheduled trip from breakfast, lunch, dinner and we craved a bit of time to ourselves. This is a trip that involves the captain selling a membership to other cruises through Tradewinds - which is not his fault, he was lovely, BUT, after the first offer which was refused, the membership was brought up multiple times during our boat time. It’s a difficult situation to get away from being at sail and a bit aggravating to not be able to relax knowing the sales pitch may come up again and again. It may be a good deal if you are interested in cruising several times during the year, but we don’t plan on making the same trip each year. ”

Trip of a lifetime about Tradewinds luxury catamaran

What a fantastic week! Three couples who have been friends for years joined us for an epic sail around the British Virgin Islands. Captain Paul and first mate/chef Renette were extraordinary and looked after every little detail to make us comfortable, pampered and extremely well-fed on the seven day trip. We were spoiled by delicious food, snacks and "captain's cocktails" every day, in addition to sailing, snorkeling, diving, and excursions to various islands. Can't say enough good things about this trip. If the opportunity comes up to sail with Tradewinds in the BVIs, take it! ”
