Island DescriptionsThe islands we cruise during our journey run between Tortola in the British Virgin Islands 60 nautical miles east of Puerto Rico, 650 nautical miles through the island chain to Grenada. We travel the Virgin Islands as well as both the Leeward Island group, those islands north and west of Martinique, and the Windward Island group from Martinique south. These islands include both young, steep and mountainous volcanic islands as well as older, eroded and limestone-capped islands recently (in geological terms) resurfaced from the deep. While some areas are volcanically active such as Montserrat and Kick Em Jenny just north of Grenada, most are not.

Our vacation cruises will take us along an arc that extends from Grenada in the south. some 650 nautical miles to Tortola, 980 nautical miles east-southeast of Miami. Included in the island local sailing options are: The British Virgin Islands; St. Martin/Sint Maarten; Antigua; St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Inter-island cruises will include Sint Maarten to Antigua; Antigua to Martinique; Martinique to St. Vincent; St. Vincent to Grenada. From a governmental standpoint, almost every island is a separate entity from others. Visitors must be cleared by customs and immigration both on entering and departing, both of which can usually be done together for a short, over night stay. Your captain will generally be able to undertake these chores and for this purpose will generally hold all passports during your stay on board. |

The Fidelity: Small enough to be personable, large enough for comfort.
She is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2, slightly over 46 feet long with three cabins and a head for each. Both guest heads are private, accessible only from the staterooms. The third head is accessible both from the crew's quarters and the main salon.
