Ingrid

Our sailing holidays aboard catamaran Ingrid are perfect for those wanting an easy, sociable introduction to life under sail. Explore the islands of the Grenadines by day and watch the sun set over a new bay each evening, with everything taken care of by your skipper and host.

Getting Involved

Ingrid is sailed by a qualified skipper, supported by a host who looks after meals and life on board. Guests are welcome to get involved in as much or as little as they like – there’s always a hand needed to hoist a sail, trim a sheet or take a turn at the wheel, and the skipper is happy to talk you through the basics of navigation and knots along the way.

Equally, nobody will mind if you would rather stretch out on the trampoline netting with a book while the miles slip by. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve sailed before or never set foot on a boat; the crew pitch their guidance to suit everyone aboard, from curious first-timers to old hands keen to brush up their skills. Many guests find that a morning spent learning to read the wind, followed by an afternoon doing absolutely nothing in a quiet bay, is exactly the balance they were after.

A Typical Day

Mornings start with a dip in the bay and a breakfast buffet served in the cockpit, sometimes to the sound of a distant reggae tune drifting from shore. After a short briefing on the day’s route, it’s time to set sail for a few hours, with plenty of opportunity to get involved or simply enjoy the ride. Lunch is taken at anchor in a calm, clear bay, leaving time to swim and unwind before sailing on to the evening’s harbour, where light snacks are served on arrival, and dinner ashore awaits.

Sleeping and Relaxation

Ingrid sleeps up to twelve guests across a combination of private double ensuite cabins, each designed to give couples and friends their own space at the end of the day. All cabins come with reading lights and charging points, and bed linen and towels are provided throughout.

Above decks, the wide trampoline netting and shaded cockpit make for some of the best spots to relax – whether that’s an afternoon nap lulled by the water below, a sundowner as the light fades over the Grenadines, or simply watching the islands slide past. The spacious saloon, kept cool with AC, offers a comfortable retreat for the whole group to gather.

Eating Aboard

Life on the water brings a healthy appetite, and Ingrid’s host takes care of breakfast and lunch each day, along with a drinks package of water, soft drinks, and beer or wine with meals. Expect fresh, simple dishes inspired by the islands – tropical fruit, local catch and the occasional beach-grilled lobster – with dietary requirements happily catered for. Evenings are spent ashore, where the crew are always glad to point you towards their favourite beach restaurant or local eatery for dinner. Whether it’s breakfast in the cockpit as the bay wakes up or lunch at anchor in crystal-clear water, mealtimes aboard Ingrid are as much about the setting as the food.
