Sail in style! Onboard the catamaran we can sample freshly made baguettes and take advantage of a very open bar (including champagne!), while enjoying the thrill of sailing at up to 20 knots on the sparkling sea. We may spot flying fish or even dolphins while lying in the nets or lazing in the shade of the 24 metre (80 feet) sail. The Golden Eagle will nuzzle her bow into a fabulous pink sandy beach, Tintamare – one of the finest in the Caribbean. We may swim in the quiet cove, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters to explore coral formations teeming with fish, or bob around on a large beach float. The friendly crew is on hand to assist.Homeward bound, the sails are set for a cruise down-wind, listening to great music while sipping cocktails and nibbling snacks.A good degree of mobility is required to participate in this tour. To reach the beach, you will swim a short distance from the catamaran; the ladder over the side has 6 steps. Please note that the beach we stop at faces the French side of St Maarten (St Martin); some nudity may be observed. Depending on the sea conditions, an alternative beach site may be visited. Come already wearing your swimming costume under casual clothes, and do not forget your towel and sun protection. Snorkel equipment and floats are provided free of charge. For reference, a mixture of sail and motor powers the catamaran. Depending on sea conditions, an alternative beach site may be substituted.
