Discover the Caribbean like
never before on the tall ship S/V Mandalay
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
PLEASE READ
A New Journey: 2021 & Beyond
Dear S/V Mandalay Friends & Family,
The past 7+ years of sailing together as Sail Windjammer
has been an incredible journey. We truly cherish the
experiences we’ve all shared together, and we are
grateful for each and every one of you that have become
part of the Mandalay’s story. That story, however, is
about to change.
This year, 2020, will
be the last year the Mandalay sails as a commercial
passenger vacation vessel. Make no
mistake-she will continue to sail the Caribbean islands
she calls home, but beginning in January of 2021 it will
be an entirely new type of operation & experience,
with a new focus.
Since beginning her journey in 1923, first as the
Hussar, then Vema, and now S/V Mandalay, our beloved
ship has always been about fulfilling dreams. The time
has come for the next chapter and to fulfill a dream
we’ve long had of helping (think Mandalay Missions),
supporting & giving back to the Caribbean
communities in the islands we call home.
More details on our new 2021 & Beyond project will
be released in the coming months. The remainder of this
year we will continue to sail on as always, with our
regular weekly passenger vacation cruises just exactly
as we have been doing. It will be a very special year as
we share these final remaining cruises with you.
We look forward to seeing you all onboard this year, and
turning the page to a new story in 2021. More
information about our exciting next journey will be soon
to come…
COVID-19 has
caused an unprecedented disruption across nearly every
industry, especially the cruising world. There are a lot of
questions about what the future holds, but one thing is for
sure, when things return to normal (whenever that may be), a
Caribbean sail on the S/V Mandalay will be just what we all
need! To accommodate the weeks we have had to reschedule, we
have opened up extra weeks into July 2021. Check our sailing
calendar for more
details.
Built in 1923,
sail this historical three masted tall ship
with teak decks and original wood work
throughout. Accommodating 58 passengers and
about 24 crew, join us for one or two week
sails exploring the Caribbean.
Sail with us and visit the Grenadines, a small chain of
islands in the Caribbean. Islands visited include
Grenada, Bequia, Union Island, Mayreau, Tobago Cays,
Carricou and Sandy Island. St, Maarten and St. Lucia
sails are also available throughout the year. Visit our
Sailing Calendar for schedules.
Experience a Caribbean few others ever see or even dream
of! Postcard worthy beaches and sunsets that will take
your breath away. Browse our photos and videos and see
what sailing with us is all about!
Relax and unplug sailing the Grenadines on the S/V
Mandalay to unspoiled beaches, hidden inlets and
sparkling warm waters that conventional cruise ships
just can’t reach. Partake in raising the sails, take a
turn at the helm or just enjoy the winds of the sea
filling the sails.
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, passenger and crew alike!
We’ll sail you safe and steady on the historic S/V Mandalay to
unspoiled beaches, hidden inlets and sparkling warm waters that
conventional cruise ships can’t reach. Experience a Caribbean
few others ever see or even dream of.
We provide a laid-back experience
with comfortable air-conditioned cabins. Each cabin is an
ensuite upon itself with your own private bathroom. While cabins
vary in size, location and price, all include many important
comforts.
