Sail Caribbean has been an incredible experience, both as a student and as a staff member! I learned so much about sailing and had the opportunity to help others learn as well. Truly a one-of-a-kind program! ⭐️

My home away from home. My favorite memories can be traced back to my summers both as a camper and a staff member. I’ve loved seeing kids fall in love the the ocean, as I once did and making friendships what will last a lifetime. Couldn’t recommend a program more!
Stay away at all costs. I had a horrible experience at Sail Caribbean. The camp was full of spoiled, petulant and nasty rich kids from around the Tri State and beyond. The promo video is very misleading. It was a miserable experience living on that boat with other kids in cramped quarters. I recall feeling an overwhelming sense of joy and relief when I finally was able to leave. Save your money and send your child elsewhere.

Our 16 year old daughter attended Sail Caribbean the summer of 2015 and although she is unable to attend this year we hope she will attend again in 2017. She thoroughly loved Sail Caribbean - she made friends, had a huge amount of fun, and gained knowledge and skills. She was already fairly independent but became even more so. Overall, the program helped her mature and she was enriched by the sailing and diving aspects of the program, accomplishing much more than we would had hoped. While she was there we received daily photos and reports from the team at Sail Caribbean so we could follow where they were and what they were up to. The camp is very professionally run, yet friendly, we were very impressed with every aspect of the program, from organization to execution to customer service, all was done with professionalism and heart...the result was as promised.
When we enrolled our daughter in the program, we were really unsure of what to expect and what her reaction/experience would be. We had sailed the BVI's as a family when she was around 12, which she enjoyed. As all 17 year olds, she is glued to her phone, and all the other teenage distractions.
Much to our delight she cannot not stop talking about what a great time she had on this adventure!! She participated in the dive certification program and received her certification. Planning a trip to Belize so she can dive some more. Taking the helm of the 50' boat and steering her through a 20 knot breeze, I was so jealous!!
She has made plans to meet up with her boat mates on dry land. She met people from Texas, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island - all over the country. An incredible maturing experience for her!!
We were so pleased with the staff!! The safety and well being of our daughter was first and foremost in everything they did and the way they conducted themselves. The on board personnel were outstanding!! They got everyone involved with cleaning, cooking, sailing, socializing. Really created a sense of camaraderie amongst the kids!! Truly an experience she will treasure for a lifetime!
My greatest endorsement is we will be sending her back for the 3 week program next summer!! Trying to figure out how I can stow away!
