On May 3rd 2010, Brian & Pippa will lead a flotilla of other cruising yachts and sailors to sail in company on the “Classic Rum Cruise”. Together we set sail to explore the beautiful islands of Guadeloupe, Iles des Saintes, Marie Galante, Dominica, Martinique and St. Lucia.
On the way we shall visit some of the fascinating and historic distilleries that continue to produce the Traditional Rum Blends that are so popular with visitors to the Caribbean. These distilleries range from the vintage to the modern and the whole range of methods and equipment will be seen and explained in detail by their knowledgeable guides.
Following the success of the 2008 and 2009 Classic Rum Cruises, with the fun and enjoyment that brought to the crews of the several yachts that participated, Brian & Pippa are offering a couple the unique and low cost opportunity to join them on the 2010 event as friends and crew rather than official charter guests. Many new places will be seen and many new friendships formed.
For 2010, our cruise begins on Monday May 3rd and ends in St. Lucia 14 days later. You will have the option to fly home from St. Lucia or remain with Miramar as she makes her way back to Antigua over the 3 days that follow at no extra charge.
Catering costs, immigration and port dues will be all be approached on an “equal share” basis between the four of us. This gives flexibility and choice for meals on board or ashore.
This offer is open to ALL irrespective of previous sailing experience. Your highly qualified skippers will ensure your safety and enjoyment at all times.
