Sailing Expeditions With Impact, Adventure & Community
Leg 6&7 Martinique - St. Lucia - St. Vincent & the Grenadines , Grenada | +/-500 NM
Best for:
- Experience the remote Grenadines island Archipelago
- Diverse Caribbean Islands Destinations
- Good for beginner to advanced kitesurfers. Best conditions ever!
- Also nice if you do not kitesurf. The focus is not exclusively on kitesurfing.
- Arrival or departure in Martinique. Possible in St. Vincent & The Grenadines on request.
The image you have in mind from the Caribbean gets beyond confirmed once arrived. The islands are blessed with tropical rainforests, stunning reef drops, waterfalls and adventure potential. It is as scenic above as below the surface. The Caribbean is a truly amazing part of our planet, full of character! Scenic wise with all the happy coloured buildings, the tropical flowers and happy bird sounds. But the real characters are the people.
With dozens of authentic and unique island nations, the Caribbean calls for exploration time. The ONLY way to explore the Caribbean is by sail! With the trade winds from the east and the island chain going from north to south, turquoise waters and thousands of islands, bay and inlets, sailing conditions are just perfect. You have to take the sea route to get the best sense of place and exploration spots.
This trip we’ll be sailing the Windward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. The windward islands are the Southern end of the eastern Caribbean island chain. From Martinique to Grenada. They are called windward because you had to beat to windward to get there from other islands. They lie across the easterly trade winds which makes it easy and pleasant to sail north and south. That’s what we will do.
We set sail from Martinique and explore the islands south from there. On the route we find St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Lucia and Grenada. Three different island nations all deserving months of exploration on its own.
On purpose, we don’t plan out the route in detail. Our crew has extensively explored the Caribbean by sail and know about the best and most remote anchorages to choose from. We make the best possible route, with for sure having the Grenadines part of the itinerary. We will go after remote turquoise bays in the Caribbean that can only be reached by sail. We’ll be sailing, riding and exploring the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean seas, where the crowd can’t reach!
Distances between the islands are short. You can usually see the next one already lying ahead of you. That said, we will sail a few hundred miles to make the most out of this expedition.
On Route we find the following Caribbean Island Nations. Weather depending we choose the best route. As we do not want to waste too much time clearing in and out of customs we may skip a country. For sure we will sail to the Grenadines, in our opinion, the highlight of the trip and only to be explored by sail.
As it is French territory, you'll spot people walking around with the stereotypical baguette under their arm. It’s a well-developed island with plenty of shops and facilities, making it a popular place for provisioning and sourcing things. It's an easy hub to fly into.
The water cannot get more turquoise than in the Grenadines. Because of its many islands scattered throughout the Caribbean Sea, and the logistical challenges of reaching them, this is where we definitely want to sail and kitesurf! There is no other way to explore this paradise than by sail. The Tobago Cays are a spectacular protected marine park and legendary for kitesurfing. We make sure to go here!
This is one of the busier islands in the WindWard Islands. Rodney Bay on St. Lucia is the most advanced location for recycling facilities and waste disposal. Must do: Anchor, dive, hike, and have a chillax session at the hot springs around the PitonsCool town: Soufriere. The vibe is a lot busier and more commercial in the north, while the south is much more authentic and absolutely gorgeous.
Grenada
Everywhere in the Caribbean people are friendly, but Grenada, called ‘Greenz’ by the locals, really tops it. Everyone says good morning or good afternoon. People are genuinely interested in stopping for a chat. The food is amazing - we could eat callaloo soup the rest of our lives and still feel vibrant at 100! Grenada is comprised of one main island and six smaller ones. The ‘mainland’ has rainforests, mangroves, marine parks, an underwater sculpture park and giant leatherback turtles. Carriacou is a small, idyllic Grenadian island with great diving. It’s also called the “spice island”. Cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, cacao, moringa, and vanilla are available in abundance! Given the distance, we may or may not go all the way to Grenada.
Imagine jumping into warm turquoise waters just seconds after you wake up. Eating a freshly chopped papaya for breakfast, having consistent 15-20 knot breeze when sailing to the next island, and if we’re lucky spotting a whale or dolphins, hiking up a hill for the view, climbing a palm tree for a coconut, and enjoying a sunset chillax with that coconut and green flash on the horizon. You can work on your swimming skills immersed in the evening bioluminescence, with the starry sky above you making wishes.
That’s just one example of a day on board SV Twister in the Caribbean. Each day you’ll experience something new, whether it’s landing a new trick, discovering a new island or trying some of the best local Caribbean cuisine.
Ocean Nomads trips are beyond ‘the usual’ sailing holiday. It’s and adventure experience aimed at making the dream lifestyle reality, not just for the time with us but beyond all that. Incorporating the Ocean Nomads values, of community, exploration, and positive impact into the elements of the trip. Ocean Nomads trips are always hands-on, everyone helps with the running of the ship. Read more about that on the big Expedition ON overview page.
We’ll touch remote islands that can’t be reached any other way than by boat. Wherever we go we leave the places cleaner than we find it. Beach clean ups are part of the routine, not ‘just’ incorporated as an event.
This is a muti-adventure trip. But ofcourse, you’re always welcome to chill and read a book or just do nothing, but BEing.
A consistent 15-20 knots is present pretty much all days. The water temperature is around 28 degrees and makes board short and bikini SUPping, kiteboarding and snorkeling possible. Is it a dream? Yes, and one to make real!
This voyage our Suzy will also be on board. She’s a certified Freedive Instructor and happily teaches some freedive basics to level up your underwater exploration time and experience.
From beginner to advanced kitesurfers are encouraged to join. Jonatan is our on board IKO kitesurfer happy giving you an introduction kitesurf course. We have a strong outboard and big tender to bring and pick you up fast, where necessary. We can launch easily from a beach close, or from the boat. Your expedition leaders are experienced kite surfers, and also the Twister crew is happy helping out. Recommend KiteSizes: 8-14. We have gear on board available for rent.
Sailing Vessel Twister is a ship of +100 years that still sails the oceans, safely! Isn’t that amazing in itself? No plastic push buttons or winches on this vessel.
She’s beautiful. She’s solid. She’s big. She’s spacious. She’s super comfortable. She’s got soul. She lasts. She has proven her worth and seaworthiness.
Sailing ship Twister is a schooner built in 1902, with an impressive story to tell. Originally a fishing boat built out of wood, fifty-five years later, her wooden hull was replaced for a steel one so she could continue to fish. She now features all safety equipment, modern comforts, and all licenses and certificates to take you safely offshore. She sails under the highly regarded Dutch flag.
Her current owners are driven to sail her far, and with purpose. The aim is to facilitate memorable expeditions that people will treasure for life, and contribute towards a better planet.
Last season she we sailed with her offshore, conditions ranging between champagne sailing and 9 Beaufort, totalling 5000 NM. The only thing we broke were two plates. Given the success of last expedition we now go all in and all around the Atlantic!
The size of the ship allows us to bring more people together in a place. Through Twister we can have you experience offshore sailing as safely as possible. Twister focuses on safety and seamanship competence. Ocean Nomads on the community, content, and organization. Many certificates are obtained and complied with to pass the safety checks and requirements. This comes with a cost but the rewards are priceless. Teaming up with Twister allows us to combine professionalism, safety, and adventure, impact and community facilitation.

It’s the people who make the adventure. This is the main message Suzanne learned after having sailed 30.000 miles on +50 different boats. We carefully curate a diverse, multi-skilled crew who share a similar mindset, to create a powerful team mix. It makes the difference.
We live beyond the status quo or desire to do so. We care for the planet. Minimize, simplify and cut down on our environmental footprint where we can. We lift each other up and support each other when in need.

“The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a thousand peaceful days.” – Paulo Coelho
Less is more; less is more; less is more! But packing for time at sea, not being sure what the weather will do, what a regular day will look like, and what the next adventure will be? What to bring?

"It’s amazing how many awesome friends you can make, and how much just one week on an ON trip can change your life" - Marcin from Poland
“The most unforgettable week. The trip preparation and the crew members turned what would otherwise be an adventure into something a special. I took part in two ocean nomads trips so far. To say it was life changing sounds dramatic but it really was. Being able to share time and experiences with people with different backgrounds but of a similar mindset was incredible. I like to think that I can have and help contribute to a similar experience for myself and others as a member of the Flotilla crew.” – Ben Clipstone from Australia
“In my opinion Ocean Nomads sailing adventure are: 1. A reward for the senses by discovering incredibly beautiful places and breathtaking sceneries. 2. An unbeatable way to get introduced into the world of a sailing lifestyle 3. An open window to learn watching our world and the people from another more conscious perspective. I see Suzanne as an inspirational person who, with her example, inspire others with ideas and proposals to define or redefine life projects and use inner energy for more noble purposes. Our oceans need strong committed people like her to advocate for our natural resources and leave them intact for the generations to come.” – Jose Perez from Spain
"My lifelong dream has been to spend time outside of the US, explore different places, meet , new people and just live somewhere different than what I grew up with. If you told me this time last year that I would have spent the better part the last 365 days sailing around The Canary Islands, surfing in Ireland, sleeping in a van ALONE in England and writing this newsletter on an island in the Adriatic Sea, I would have rolled my eyes at you. But after joining Ocean Nomads on SV Twister a little over a year ago my life has done a complete 180° ( in the best way possible) and I have the network and so many of you to thank for that! – Brianna SV Twister '21
"The experience on twister with other Ocean Nomads was just really beautiful and I felt connected for the first time in decades, I felt part of a community and had companionship. I was so happy that it’s so all inclusive of gender race religion nationality and most importantly age. It has connected me with like-minded people of all ages and being very transformational personally because my life has been incredibly isolated as a single parent Who works from home. I can honestly say October and November I felt happy and free for the first time in maybe 22 years. It gave me everything I was looking for. It has opened up so many possibilities to meet new people with similar vibes, including connection, companionship, purpose and being one with nature." - Cay, SV Twister '21

At 15.00 we welcome you on board. We pick you up with our tender boat. Exact location to be decided. This day is all about settling in, making your self at home, getting to know each other and have your first swim around or underneath the boat. This day we will not set sail just yet.
We'll be sailing in and out of different anchorages, islands, countries. We have lot of ideas where to go. We let the route also depend on your individual wishes and preferences. Together we make it legendary!
ADVENTURE | Our coastal trips days include a mix of sailing, jumping in the sea, snorkelling, exploring islands, cultural interaction, freediving, kitesurfing, finding treasures, hiking, SUPping. We try to avoid marinas, so we can be closer to nature.
SPONTANEITY | We run our trips rather spontaneously on purpose. We’re dependent on the weather. We go with the flow, and we may change course to explore what we find on the way. We embrace the art of getting lost. We don’t plan out our routes into detail (except for the departure and arrival destination). On purpose.
SAILING | You don’t need sailing experience. Captains we work with are professionally qualified and teach you the basics (and much more if you want), helping you become a competent crew member – or building upon any existing skills you do have. We can sign off miles and give you a reference if you need one. We take care of onboard duties as a group.
VESSELS | This Expedition we work with a vessel of more than 100 years old and still sailing the oceans! It can’t get more sustainable than maintaining that what is already built.
Multiple times a day there's the opportunity to explore below the surface. Each trip our Suzy will give a Freedive Introduction course.
Almost every day there will be the opportunity to kitesurf. We have our on board instructor Jonatan happy introducing you to the sport. Optionally we can also provide more lessons. As well as gear to rent.
Kitesurf lessons:
50 euro / hour - 2 people
70 euro / hour - private lessons
Including Gear
One our personal highlights of Caribbean exploration. Finding, chopping and zipping coconuts! It gives us the superpowers to keep going.
IMPACT | We share adventure and relaxation time, as well as thoughts, tips and ideas about how we can live more simply and sustainably, whilst exploring the natural world. No one of us has the answer, but together we do have. Connection and conversation at sea go deeper in one day than months on land.
LOCAL | We aim to team up as much with locals to learn the best we can about the local situation. Working with a local partner comes with different habits, customs, awareness levels and cultural backgrounds. We stay open and look beyond our ‘eco-bubble’ to plot better routes for positive change.
GETTING THERE | We are aware that many need to fly to join one of our trips, and encourage transport options such as train, bus, ferry and car sharing. We’re actively looking for the best ways to maximize our positive and minimize our negative impact. We recommend booking only one way ticket. You won’t be the first ocean nomads joining a trip, and just keep on going…
ENVIRONMENT | We do what we can to minimize our environmental impact. We sail as much as we can and use the motor as little as possible. Preparation and doing your part is key. And we encourage and welcome your ideas, tools and tricks on improving our positive footprint.
PROVISIONING | Collectively we take care of the provisioning and cooking. It’s part of the fun! We don’t organize luxury cruises. We aim to provision as locally as possible, and minimize plastic use. Our trips are vegetarian (fish and meat-free), with occasional opportunities to eat ashore if you struggle with this. We use less freshwater and power than the average sailboat charter. We share thoughts, ideas, and knowledge on no-fridge food preservation, eco-friendly sailboat maintenance, and other positive solutions.
OCEAN PROTECTION Our drive: Protecting our playground!
PEOPLE | We make our gathering big enough to guarantee a wonderful mix of inspiring souls, but small enough to drop anchor in the middle of nature. Participants usually don’t know each other, but after days of shared adventure and collaboration, new friendships are made. Many of our previous nomads come back again and again. Ocean Nomads come from all walks of life; we put a lot of effort in creating a diverse mix of people, so that we can learn from each other and pass on inspiration & ideas. Many trip alumni and members have since teamed up for more adventure and impact projects. All ages are welcome and encouraged to join. Reasons for joining are often the desire to live a nomadic lifestyle, buy a boat, share experience, and learn with safety, sustainability and accessibility aspects being taking care of.
TEAMWORK | Sailing is an active way of travel that needs teamwork. We share the tasks, operation, and sailing of the boat. We provision, cook, sail, fix things (if necessary) together as a team. Our trips are not a laid back luxury experience.
Hands-on participation creates the adventure, and helps you learn to be a better sailor. That said, for all our Caribbean trips we already have enough hands on board so you are welcome to sit back and relax if that's what you're after!
HEALTH | We can only do good if we feel good. Our trips have elements of yoga, breathwork / freedive / kitesurf clinics, healthy and local food provisioning, and lots of outdoor action and adventure. Powered by YOU, our members and crew.
PEACE | Our trips are not a party experience. We value the mornings and like to maximize daylight for exploring and connecting to nature. Drinking a lot of alcohol ruins this experience and has no place on our trips. We operate a strict no alcohol at sea policy. On anchor or on shore no problem. We like an sunset beer or wine now and then too.
ADAPTATION | Boats rock and make noise. Boats are small. People snore. Weather rules. We have limited resources. Adaptability is key. That said, SV Twister is the most luxurious vessel we ever teamed up with.
ACCESSIBILITY | Any age, gender, and experience level is welcome. We know a trip like this is not within financial reach for everyone. It costs considerable money to make this expedition real, in most safe way. But where resources allow we facilitate scholarship opportunities to make an adventure like this accessible for the driven on a budget ones.
Learning by doing, that’s what we strive for. Here are some of the skills you develop on our trips:
SAILING | You’ll learn hands-on everything to become a competent crew member. By the end of the journey you can sail the ship. Our skippers and often also fellow crew members are happy to share and show what to know.
SEAMANSHIP | Huge part of happy, safe and meaningful ocean nomadic living depends on your seamanship skills. You can have the biggest bank account but once you’re at sea nothing can be googled or bought. And no person can be hired to fix something. You have to be inventive as situations arise and you’ll learn from experiences along the way. You’ll learn to work with your hands. Especially on our offshore trips, you learn about the wind, the weather, geography, stars, navigation, sea life, boats, yourself, people, and much more.
CONSCIOUS LIVING | Experience resourcefulness. And how you can implement it all into your life. As sailors, we are intricately connected to the ocean on a daily basis. Experiencing sea time daily provides a deep and lasting respect for nature. You’re dependent on it. You experience the power of the wind and the waves, and realise how precious our resources are, such as water, fresh air, power, and fresh vegetables. You will become aware that what might be considered normal ‘back home’, is not so normal on a boat.
NATURE AWARENESS| Most of us spend more time indoors than outdoors. It’s easy to forget the natural world we’re coming from and living in. On the ocean, you face the wind and water elements and find that connection to nature. Imagine a scene with no traffic, no news, no pollution, no civilisation. Just wind and water – plenty of that! A scene where you can gaze for hours to the millions of stars above you; enjoy the dozens of dolphins sliding through the water at the bow of the boat; admire the pink-orange-red sunrises and sunsets, without any airplane trails changing the fluffy and cauliflower-like cloud patterns.
By being disconnected from everything but nature, you’ll learn a great deal about the ocean. When you see the good, bad and ugly with your own eyes, talk face-to-face with people living on and for the ocean, and experience its value, it makes you eager to learn more, do more, be more, and likely Live more: At sea.
You’ll become very aware of the natural world around you. This inspires. And it’s eye-opening. You come to realise how disconnected from nature we are in our daily lives. In the middle of nature, far away from civilisation, you will see human impact. Usually we’re far away. It’s hard to make it tangible. It doesn’t really affect us. Or so we think. But by being out there, you literally broaden your horizon. Experience will make you think, gain fresh perspectives, and may inspire you to act to turn the tide of the ocean challenges.
We share tips & tools, helping accelerate personal journeys to alternative adventurous conscious life on or near the sea. Ocean nomads adventures are not just a one time thing you join for a week or two and that’s it. These are experiences that change the way you approach life, nature and the ocean. We believe our trips are just the beginning for plotting the next course in your life. By jumping on board this, you also join our expanding global network of impact-driven travellers, ocean entrepreneurs, sailors, (free)divers, surfers, and active salty souls passionate about the ocean and eager to do good.
On our community HUB we continue the conversation, action, team-ups and meet-ups beyond our events and expeditions to maximize the impact, fun, and ripple effects for ocean adventure and action. We got your back before and after the trip and make the personal connections and introductions to accelerate your dreams.
We used to have an image in our head that sailing is only for rich people, that it’s about showing off boats and boat toys, and that as crew you’re just meant to scrub the deck. Not true. Sailors are free spirits and ocean-minded people. Most of us share the same dream to live a simple life on a sailboat, set off to explore the world, and live life on their own terms. We unite and exchanges ideas to make this dream happen! We connect with fellow nomads that are on the same mission. Who knows who you may meet during these adventures and what opportunities may come from it?

Ocean Nomad, Adventurer, Captain & Freedive Instructor
Hi! My name is Suzanne and I’m super excited to sail across the Atlantic and Caribbean with a group of Ocean Nomads! A little about me. Half my time on this planet, I’ve been living a nomadic ocean minded lifestyle, navigating ocean and coastlines by sail, van, (kite)surf and mermaid fins. I hitchhiked 30.000 miles on sailboats and now slow travel coastlines living in my van. I wrote the Atlantic ocean travel guide Ocean Nomad and founder of the Ocean Nomads community. The mission: Connecting you to ocean, and to cultivate and encourage a simple, natural, conscious way of life. I’ve spent some winters in the Caribbean before, and I can’t wait to share this magic with you! I’ve been kitesurfing since 2007, very fanatic for a few years, until I discovered the Grenadines. Since 2015 I'm an AIDA freedive instructor and can't wait to share some mermaid skills with you! The conditions for ocean sports just can’t get better than in the Caribbean. So let’s go back!

Hello fellow nature vagabonds! I couldn’t be more excited to partake in such a great adventure and life experience on a sailboat with a great bunch of you ON.
My name is Jonatan and I’m from an island in Sweden. Travelling and being on the road without knowing what tomorrow brings has been in my DNA most likely since birth. Things like cultural exchange, hitchhiking, vanlife, hiking, diving, skiing, kitesurfing, freedive, surfing to name a few has brought me to the most wonderful places and meetings in my life. And it’s just the meetings and the sharing thru life story’s that has been the most memorable thing. We know that Caribbean going to be amazing but I together with you will create wonderful memories together. I’m a fanatic kitesurfer and now also IKO Instructor. I'll also be the videographer on board.
Say hi to me on the Ocean Nomads network or Insta.
The last day we definitely recommend a sunrise wake-up! A jump in the sea. Perhaps a last freedive session. We have a last breakfast (for now) together. At 11 AM is check out. We drop you off at the shore and then until we sea each other again:)
This is not just an expedition you join for a week or 2 and that’s it. This is an experience that will change the way you approach life, nature and the ocean. We believe our ON expeditions are just the beginning for plotting the next course in your life. By jumping on board this voyage, you will also join our expanding global network of impact-driven travellers, ocean entrepreneurs, sailors, (free)divers, surfers, and active salty souls passionate about the ocean and eager to do good. On our community platform we continue the conversation, action, team-ups and meet-ups beyond our events and expeditions to maximize the impact, fun, and ripple effects for ocean adventure and action. We got your back on this expedition and the journey after.
