Day 1 - Your voyage begins at the historic English Harbour, once the main anchorage in Nelson's time for the British West Indies squadron. With a display of magnificent yachts, and an active social scene of restaurants, it will easily get you into the holiday mood.

With a local reggae band you will dance the night away with the best panoramic views to add to your postcard of memories.

Day 2 - Downwind sail out of English Harbour to Carlisle Bay, a palm lined white sandy beach. After a swim and leisurely lunch set the sails towards Cades reef, sailing in crystal clear shallow waters. Then sail further up the west coast to anchor at Five Islands Bay, where there is no sign of habitation and un-spoilt beaches. Further on is Deep Bay where the Andes wreck lies which is an exciting snorkeling spot. Enjoy a tranquil evening aboard Braveheart or revel away the night at the Royal Antiguan Casino Hotel, dancing and enjoying the music.

Day 3 - Sailing along the west into Dickinson Bay is a perfect place to partake in the variety of water sports Braveheart has available like windsurfing, kayaking, water-skiing, wakeboarding and tubing, With a choice of restaurants lunch can be taken ashore in the shade of a palm covered beach restaurant.

Day 4/5 - With a steady wind on the beam Braveheart sails out into the open waters to the island of Barbuda. An island dedicated to the heart of nature and is heaven on earth. In 1691 the Codrington family leased the island from Britain for one fat sheep and imported slaves. The shores offer unique snorkeling with living brown coral. Home to a natural bird sanctuary Barbuda has an unusually large frigate bird colony. There are endless pale pink beaches some stretching 11 miles. A stop over of 2 nights is recommended to do this wonderful island justice.

Day 6 - With a reach back down the east coast Braveheart arrives at Green Island, anchoring in the solitude of Rickett Harbour, an exclusive bay. You are encouraged to take a dinghy ride and explore Nonsuch bay, or relax under the shade of a palm tree in the Garden of Eden, surely one of the most idyllic beaches in all the Caribbean.

Day 7 - Braveheart returns you to English Harbour on a journey you wont forget with wonderful memories.
