Splendid times on Splendour in the Wind.

Captain Neil from Sail Cayman has had a busy couple of weeks on Splendour in the Wind hosting sailing charters on Grand Cayman’s north sound. In one of our recent posts  we blogged about a family that had a great day out with Neil introducing them to stingrays and taking them snorkeling on the barrier reef.

This past week Neil played host to a group of friends from New Orleans…the group of ladies planned an all girls trip to Grand Cayman and booked a sailing and snorkeling charter with Sail Cayman.

At 47ft, this Beneteau offers ample space, both below and above deck. With 3 cabins, one of them ensuite in the bow of Splendour of the Wind, and with full A/C below deck, a full galley perfect for prepping appetizers and a 2nd marine bathroom, comfort is Splendour’s middle name. Above deck, Splendour has a shaded cockpit also with comfortable seating, in fact Splendour can accommodate up to 12 passengers easily.

All the Sail Cayman captains have excellent choice in music, but feel free to bring your iPad, iPhone or Android and we will be happy to enjoy your music.

As no sailing charter would be complete without a couple of frosties, Splendour has a fridge and cooler.

The most important thing to remember though is that Splendour takes you on a beautiful charter in the lap of comfort and luxury. In fact, Sail Cayman is really keen on doing an extended charter to Little Cayman, maybe even Cayman Brac…we just need the passengers who wants to sign up and are ready for an adventure, a very comfortable adventure!

Keen and curious? Contact Neil ASAP, he can’t dream of a better way to spend his summer….sailing!

They are never too young!

Sail Cayman loves children and we love taking children on our snorkeling and stingray city charters and introducing them to our marine life and watching them enjoy the great outdoors. We believe that kids are meant to be outside in the fresh air, exploring and loving all the adventures that a vacation can bring.

Our Sail Cayman clients often ask if it’s safe to bring kids on board and to our destinations and our answer is always a resounding YES. Not only are our captains extremely safety conscious, but they are also excellent with children, they have endless patience (probably thanks to the fact that they are dads too) and they always have a safe space on  board for young adventurers!

So regardless of age, whether your child is 3 months, 3 years or 13 years old, bring them on a Sail Cayman charter, we guarantee they will love every single moment!

 

Kids of all ages can enjoy stingray city and sail Cayman charters safely

#Caymankind #IslandLife #ILoveMyJob

Sail Cayman was thinking about a topic for this week’s blog. Last night we posted a link on our Sail Cayman Facebook page which was all about Caymankind. Today we thought…what exactly is Caymankind? How does one explain Caymankind? So we thought, hey why not explain Caymankind in our blog!

So if your curiosity is tweaked, here goes: Caymankind is more than just a people or a place. Caymankind is an approach to life. Caymankind is about the entire experience of Caymanian culture. Now currently there are over over 135 nationalities that call Cayman home and they all live together in harmony. Caymankind is all about the people, history, resources and traditions of the Cayman Islands. Visitors and vacationers should experience Caymankind as a feeling of joy. Caymankind should be a reminder to savour life’s most precious gifts – family, love, honour and magic times. It’s the sense that you can do more, be more and mean more.

For those who are fortunate enough to live and work on one of our 3 islands, Caymankind is a way of presenting oneself to work whilst at all times being courteous, compassionate and caring. From smiles to awesome experiences and magic moments, the Cayman Islands has something to make your day brighter than it already was when you got out of bed this morning and that’s Caymankind!

So by now you are probably asking yourself how Sail Cayman is Caymankind? Well that’s a really easy one to answer! And this is where #ILoveMyJob enters this blog. When you love your job, when you love what you do, when you wake up excited about the day ahead, that’s when you make a difference in someone else’s life. Neil, Orneil and Nick, the three captains at Sail Cayman love what we do! And our love for what we do is seriously contagious. Spend a morning or afternoon with us on a charter, on one of our 4 boats (2 sailing boats and 2 power boats) and you will leave the charter with a spring in your step and greater appreciation of the nature and all its wonders. And this too is Caymankind!

#IslandLife encompasses a huge variety of magic, wonder and sometimes oddities. Remember that just over 135 nationalities make up the 50 000 people living in the Cayman Islands, but only one thing brought them all together…the dream of living island life! The dream of never waking up on a cold and dark winter’s morning, the dream of not being caught up in traffic, the dream of not living in a concrete jungle, the dream of seeing sunrise and sunset & of course the dream of palm trees and pure white beaches. Throw into that dreamy mix the beauty of the underwater world, the unconditional love from our stingrays and incredible variety the Cayman Islands offer in terms of dining and activities and you have #IslandLife!

Sail Cayman always insists that pictures tell a better story so here you go, pics from our last charter on Lazy Daz. Post these in your Facebook & Instagram. Tweet away and remember to use #IslandLife #Caymankind and #ILoveMyJob !

Sailing in Splendour

Sail Cayman’s Neil Galway hosted a charter on Splendour in the Wind last week. The passengers hired Deep Blue Images photographer Irene Corti to capture all the fun of a great day in the Cayman Islands.

Our clients often ask us if our yachts have enough space and Sail Cayman thinks these photos give the perfect answer about what Splendour has to offer on a charter. Space, yes…and also an incredibly relaxing, sunny and action packed day.
