The best way to appreciate the French Caribbean is by sailing there. The itinerary may vary slightly depending on the weather. The region is visited by only a handful of 'yachties' in search of eternal summer, making these islands one of the most exclusive sailing grounds in the world. With Sail Windjammer, there is never a dull moment. You are not merely a passenger but part of a small group of fun-loving people. You're not just a number to us and will get to know just about everyone, passengers and crew alike!
We'll sail you safe and steady on the S/V Mandalay to unspoiled beaches, hidden inlets and sparkling warm waters that conventional cruise ships just can't reach. You will experience a Caribbean few others ever see or even dream of.
Partake in raising the sails, take a turn at the helm or just enjoy the winds of the Caribbean sea filling the sails with new friends aboard. The choice is yours!
With Sail Windjammer, you can explore Caribbean Islands on the S/V Mandalay!

Your Ship - Legendary Windjammer Mandalay
Mandalay is truly an historic ship. Remodeled in 2012 this 236-foot barkentine was built in 1923 for financier E.F. Hutton and christened Hussar. In the 1930's she was sold to shipping magnate George Vettlesen who re-christened her Vema. Later she was put into service by Columbia University sailing over a million miles worldwide. Evidence gathered on her voyages confirmed the theory of the continental drift. For many years, Windjammer Barefoot Cruises sailed Mandalay in the Caribbean, where she established an enviable reputation for delivering joy to her guests . She had a very loyal following, with "Jammers" repeating year after year. Then in September of 2007, that world ended. Windjammer Barefoot Cruises went bankrupt, its remaining assets were auctioned off and all her loyal "Jammers" mourned.
But the Windjammer dream never died, because it was more than a company. It was a culture. And it was a fragile culture - one that had a rare balance of fun, adventure, informality and one that would-be imitators never understood. On January 18th, 2012 Windjammer Sailing Adventures purchased Mandalay, with a commitment to maintain the culture of "Windjammer". The Rum Swizzles, crab races, story time, Bloody Mary's, peanut butter pates, PPP parties, sleeping on deck and the playing of Amazing Grace are back, as are many of the former crew. Mandalay has been refurbished to recall her former glory. Always a favorite of Windjammer Barefoot sailors, Mandalay is welcomed back to the fleet of tall ships
