From one green island to another green island, with a bit of blue in between. Setting sail from St. Lucia to Dominica is a breathtaking journey through the heart of the Caribbean. The voyage begins in the calm waters of Rodney Bay, with the Pitons fading into the distance as the yacht catches the steady trade winds. The open stretch of sea between the islands offers an exhilarating sailing experience, with deep blue waters and the occasional sight of flying fish or dolphins playing alongside the boat.
Passing by Martinique, the French-Caribbean influence is evident in the scent of fresh baguettes drifting from the shore and the sight of colorful fishing boats bobbing in the harbors. As Dominica’s rugged coastline comes into view, its lush rainforests and mist-covered peaks promise an island unlike any other.
The island’s nickname, the “Nature Island,” is well deserved, with endless waterfalls, hot springs, and volcanic landscapes waiting to be explored. Dominica’s rich culture and friendly locals make for an unforgettable experience, whether enjoying a beachside barbecue with fresh seafood or hiking through the rainforest to hidden pools.
All meals on board Sea Dragon during this trip are delicious and vegetarian, with the addition of fish if we catch any along the way.
