Come sail away with us and let your every care melt into a golden sunset. Captain Sasha and Tara take great pride in tailoring each day to surpass your every expectation. Sunrise water sports, afternoon snorkeling, or dancing the night away under the stars -- you name it, we'll make it happen!

Day 1: As you move aboard DIADEM, Capt. Sasha will mix up one of his signature cocktails while Tara helps you settle in. Then, we cast off the bow lines and set sail for our next great adventure. We begin with a quick sail across the Sir Francis Drake channel over to Norman Island, well known for its famous treasure caves. Lesser known for its rugged hike up Spy Glass Hill, long ago used by many a pirate to keep watch over the surrounding waters and islands.

Day 2: Rise and shine with the sun and take time to relax with a hot cup of freshly pressed coffee and local fruits. After breakfast we set sail for a refreshing snorkel over the wreck of the RMS Rhone, one of the best preserved natural wrecks in this part of the world. After lunch we head up towards a little-known island near The Baths for an amazing sunset and picture perfect end to our first full day together. Sasha mans the grill as Tara prepares a tropical feast just for you!

Day 3: Wake up at the Baths to enjoy a light breakfast and morning snorkel into the maze of house-size boulders. Lose yourself in the shallow pools where waves splash and light dances on the boulders in a series of private rooms. As the crowd begins to form we throw up the sails and enjoy a hardy lunch underway as we point towards Savannah Bay. This afternoon is reserved for beach combing, sandcastle building, and water sports! Have Capt. Sasha or Tara teach you to tube, wakeboard, or water ski -- everything is safe and fun for all ages!

Day 4: Greet the day at your own pace to enjoy a healthy brunch and morning swim after which we will cruise up to the one of our secret afternoon anchorages to enjoy the wide array of ocean life during a guided snorkel or a short kayak expedition. We will then enter the North Sound of Virgin Gorda and berth in Leverick Bay to dance the night away with the local Mocko Jumbies show, a lively traditional performance featuring costumed dancers on stilts, meant to ward off evil spirits!

Day 5: If you are up for another adventure and a fresh lobster dinner on the beach, we will make the crossing up to Anegada, known to Christopher Columbus's men as the "Drowned Island". This island has the third largest barrier reef in the world and your trip will not be complete until you have had the opportunity to swim over it. Sit back on the luxurious deck and watch for the green flash just as the sun dips beneath the watery blue horizon. Dinner will be arranged with one of the local restaurants -- no one does lobster like the good people of Anegada!

Day 6: Relax and enjoy your book during our leisurely down-wind sail towards Marina Cay. Once anchored, we recommend a quick dingy trip over to Trellis Bay to visit the Caribbean artisan community organized by our friend Aragorn. This is the place to purchase authentic souvenirs. Just before dinner you will have the distinct pleasure of sharing a few drinks with another good friend named Michael Beans during his theatrically entertaining Happy Arrrrr show.

Day 7: Rounding the south tip of Great Camanoe Island the next morning, we will be well aligned for our next destination. The barefoot island of Jost Van Dyke lies just ahead. While humming tunes from the night before we will make our way towards her pristine sandy beaches, swim-up beach-shack bars, and guided ATV tour trails. Relax aboard while Tara and Sasha prepare yet another satisfying meal, then hit the water once more. Sasha will lead a hike just before sunset to catch another glimpse of a green flash as the sun sets near St. Thomas. Some clear evenings you can even see the lush mountains of Puerto Rico in the distance.

Day 8: A leisurely sail turns lively as we round the western tip of Tortola and enter the Sir Francis Drake channel once again. Diadem's sails harness the trade winds as her dagger boards slice through the seas. At this point you are one with the boat and the water and the wind. Relaxed, tanned, and ready to go back home... almost! Alas our trip comes to an end back at the dock in Tortola and as you head home you are already planning your next trip aboard Diadem. Spend another week in the BVI as there is plenty more to see... or perhaps visit different islands and cultures elsewhere in the Caribbean. Tara and Sasha have sailed the entire chain and can set up an itinerary for you anywhere in the Windward and Leeward Islands.
