Welcome to Paradise – Catamaran sailing – two weeks in the Caribbean under sail

🌴 Caribbean Sailing Trip – From Guadeloupe to Antigua, Dominica & back
An unforgettable sailing adventure with Segelschule Meersburg & Friedrichshafen

Imagine this: you wake up, the sun glittering on turquoise water, a gentle breeze filling the sails – and the scent of tropical islands in the air.
Our two- to three-week Caribbean trip from Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) takes you to some of the most beautiful islands in the eastern Caribbean – Antigua, Dominica, Les Saintes and Marie-Galante.

We sail anticlockwise along the south and east coasts of Guadeloupe, past palm-fringed beaches, vibrant reefs and small coves that can only be reached from the water.
