Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello,
I‘m sailing to New Zealand with my catamaran and do that with rotating crew.
For the next leg from Martinique to Trinidad, I’m looking for a crew member to sail together from mid of Mai 2025 until beginning of July 2025 (about 8 weeks).
Starting point is Martinique and end point will be Trinidad where the ship will go into dry dock for 3 months and I'll be in Germany for 10 weeks.
Along the way, we will pass beautiful islands such as St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Tobago Cays.
We'll continue via Carriacou to Grenada before crossing to Trinidad.
Which islands we visit and how long we stay is open and will be discussed together….
The onboard budget is shared equally between us.
The onboard budget includes food, diesel and fees, nothing else.
The ship is a 40-foot catamaran equipped with everything self-sufficient living requires on board, such as generous solar panels, a watermaker, Starlink, AIS, etc.
We aren't dependent on any ports, which allows us to anchor independently in beautiful bays.
You have your own hull with a double cabin and private bathroom.
The distances between the islands can be covered in daily stages.
Only the last part from Grenada to Trinidad requires an overnight sail.

Are you interested to visit tropical islands and explore land and sea together and enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle?
I‘m looking forward to receive your message.

And if you like the boat and also the captain after that 8 weeks… 😊
You can visit the southern Pacific Ocean with me next year.
