Live aboard sail training

All sail training programs aboard SAMANA are live aboard courses which include all meals and all learning materials.

You live aboard your vessel for all of the sailing courses in the program. We sail in two of the most spectacular cruising areas in the world, the Caribbean Sea or the Maine Coast.

Your sail training course begins in either St. Thomas, USVI or Portland, Maine. Each day we sail to a new port. In the Caribbean port of calls include St John, St. Croix, Culebra, Vieques and Saint Thomas, and in Maine, Bailey Island, Diamond Island, Monhegan Island, and Boothbay Harbor. The Caribbean Sea is known for excellent winds, excellent sailors, good anchoring, magnificent snorkeling reefs, and sheer stunning beauty. The coast of Maine is known for its dramatic 10' - 15' tides, legendary fog, historic sailing vessels, picturesque lighthouses, prominent rocky shores, and excellent sailors.

Your sailing home, “SAMANA”, provides outstanding cuisine. Wholesome and delicious meals are the rule for on-board dining. Letty prepares many dinners indigenous to her Dutch homeland. A complete menu for the week is listed below.

Breakfast and evening meals are generally served at anchor or docks and a noon meal is usually served while underway. From the time you board SAMANA until your course is completed, all meals are provided. When tied up in harbors with food facilities feel free to eat a meal out.
