Bequia is the northernmost and largest of the Grenadines, just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and long silvery stretches of beach. Among the first things you will notice are the colorful model boats set up on stands around the tiny harbor, representing the island's maritime history. If you are lucky enough to have a late call, don’t miss Mac’s Lobster Pizza.
With nearly 3,000 residents, Portsmouth is the second largest town in Dominica. SeaDream can either dock alongside the unique wooden pier or lie at anchor in Prince Rupert Bay to offer activities from the marina. A must would be to navigate Indian River with a SeaDream Land Adventure or explore Cabrits National Park.
Nevis is one of our favorite islands, and we encourage you to explore Nevis beyond the small town to make the most of your visit! We offer several excellent and varied options for you to do so and still leave you with plenty of time on your own for the beach. Less commercial and laidback than its large neighbor St. Kitts, Nevis, at first glimpse, offers a stunning approach with dramatic views of the potentially active volcanic Nevis Peak (3,232 feet/985 meters). Your SeaDream tender will bring you within a few steps of the small town center. Charlestown does not offer too many sightseeing or shopping opportunities though the house where American statesman Alexander Hamilton was born is only a short walk away along the waterfront (now the Museum of Nevis History). To enjoy Nevis to its full potential, we recommend that you divide your day into Morning, Lunch/Afternoon and Evening activities.
Morning - Start your day by exploring the island, above or under water, on one of our fun optional Land Adventures. They are all enjoyable & exciting, and you will also support the local community. The Four Seasons Resort still offers incredible golf options as well as beautiful beach and dining facilities. Another option for lunch is the L'Escale French Caribbean-style bistro, just down the road near the Oualie Pier.
Evening - For a romantic sunset with cocktails and a snack or dinner, we like to take the short drive to see Gillian, the owner of the charming Bananas Restaurant, which offers lovely views surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Of course, there is also Sunshine's Beach Bar & Grill, home of the famous "Killer Bee" Caribbean rum drink. We hope that the above recommendations allow you to plan your special day on Nevis. Now, all you have to do is to decide which of the optional morning activities to join.
South Friar's Bay offers SeaDream guests a new way to explore the island of St. Kitts. Rather than docking at the capital, the yacht will be anchored in the bay. This particular bay is one of the two bays stretching along the coast of the isthmus connecting the Southeast Peninsula, with the rest of the island of Saint Kitts. From swimming and snorkeling on the south side to body surfing on the north, Friar's Bay offers guests several options. Many locals consider the southern beach the best on the island. If you are thirsty, no worries as there are multiple beach bars, offering various food and beverage options. The island itself offers several land adventure options including the Unesco Awarded Brimstone Fortress, Zip Lines, off road adventures and golf at the Royal St. Kitts.
Philipsburg is the main town on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. The town is situated on a narrow stretch of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. Philipsburg was founded in 1763 by John Philips, a Scottish captain in the Dutch navy. The settlement soon became a center for international trade. The main shopping district is located on Front Street and is in the heart of the city. Many consider Philipsburg to be the best shopping opportunity in the Caribbean. Depending on the traffic, SeaDream has the option to anchor or dock alongside. One of the highlight activities may be to participate in the America’s Cup 12 Metre Regatta.
Perhaps our most treasured destination in the Caribbean! This small island belonging to the French West Indies has so much to offer our SeaDream guests. Incredible shopping only steps away from the pier. Incredible beaches, resorts, restaurants and activities both day and night. SeaDream has created various land adventures for you to discover the island from sea or land. Ask one of the officers to take you on a hike or bike ride around the island. Another great activity here is to simply relax and watch all of the incredible yachts arriving and departing just off your SeaDream yacht.

A stunning island situated in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda and got its name because of the large flowering cactus all over the island. The island was declared a National Park in 1988 meaning the 180 acres will have no further development, just an island filled with natural beauty. Breathtaking hiking trails start from the main beach Vixen Point, winds around the island filled with salt ponds heading to the north shore which has two other amazing secluded beaches.
San Juan, founded in the 1520’s by Spanish settlers, is both the largest city and the capital city of Puerto Rico. A territory of the Unites States, Puerto Rico is comprised of the large main island as well as five smaller islands, including the popular islands of Vieques and Culebra (both ports of call on select SeaDream voyages).
SeaDream docks in Old San Juan, the oldest part of the city. Parts of this historic port city are still surrounded by stone walls dating back to the 1500’s. Narrow cobblestone streets, small shops, and points of interest like Cathedral of San Juan Bautista make this charming city a great place to stroll. Guests sailing into or departing from San Juan will enjoy views of Castillo de San Felipe del Morro, a mid- 1700’s Spanish fortress.
San Juan Luiz Munoz Marin Airport is approximately a 30-minute drive to the port in Old San Juan. Currency in Puerto Rico is USD.

Journey to the exquisite island of Mustique where you can explore for a day on this private catamaran adventure!
Bequia is located only 5 miles from the magical island of Mustique. This small island measures 3 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, is privately owned and has long attracted the elite of the world including the British Royalty. Mustique has a perfect blend of simplicity, comfort and sophistication that appeal to an international and cosmopolitan clientele.
Board your private catamaran from Bequia for a scenic coastal boat ride to Mustique. Along the Bequia coastline you will view some rather unusual homes set in amazing natural rock formations and arches known as ‘The Moon Hole.” You will also pass the historic whaling island of Petit Nevis. When you near the island of Mustique, your vessel will sail closer to the coast while the knowledgeable guide onboard will point out where the luxurious houses of the rich and famous can be seen from the water. See the homes of stars like David Bowie, Ralph Lauren & Sir Paul McCartney. The catamaran continues to dock on the island next to the famous Basil’s Bar. This quaint little beach bar is world famous for its nighttime entertainment.
On Mustique you are free to do as you please until it is time for some lunch at the fun and famous Basil’s Bar. During your free time on Mustique, you may hire one of the limited island taxis for an in-depth island tour. If shopping is your fancy, Mustique has two quaint boutiques filled with souvenirs and other items. After your self-made adventure, return to the catamaran where rum punch and soft drinks are served during the journey back to Bequia and your awaiting yacht.
Notes
Lunch at Basils Bar is included in the price. An island tour of Mustique is not included, but you can arrange an independent tour with one of the three island taxis if they are available. Please note taxi availability is limited and cannot be guaranteed, hence why is it not included in our excursion. If you plan to swim, please wear your swimsuit under a coverup and bring a towel and sun protection. Punch and fruit juice are available onboard. The size of the boat will vary depending on the number of confirmed guests. The journey to Mustique takes approximately 45 minutes with a power boat but could take more than an hour with a sailing cat and dependent upon weather and sea conditions.

After a scenic 45-minute drive from Portsmouth, you’ll arrive at the entrance to Syndicate Falls, a hidden treasure in the lush northwestern corner of Dominica. Also known as Milton Falls, this secluded cascade near the Syndicate Estate is one of the island’s most striking natural landmarks.
A short, 15-minute forest walk brings you to the falls. The trail is easy, with little elevation gain, though it can be slippery in places as it winds across riverbeds and mossy rocks—comfortable or waterproof shoes are a must. Along the way, the surrounding rainforest hums with life, until the sound of rushing water grows louder and the 100-foot Syndicate Falls comes into view.
Here, the water plunges dramatically into a cool, clear pool inviting you to swim, stand beneath the powerful flow, or simply relax and marvel at the beauty of the setting. Ample time is given to enjoy this unforgettable experience.
Before returning to your SeaDream yacht, stop at the nearby Syndicate Falls Café. Savor light local snacks and fresh, seasonal fruits, and explore the café’s herbal garden to learn about the traditional and medicinal uses of Dominica’s many native plants.
Notes
Flow of water at the waterfalls is dependent upon weather conditions and recent rains. Be sure to wear your swimsuit under a coverup and bring a towel from the yacht. Good walking / water shoes are required.

It is made from fine oak aged rum, sugar cane, and wild local Guavaberries – not to be mistaken with guavas. Guavaberries are rare and can only be found high in the hills in the center of the island as a bright orange or as a red/black fruit. After this fun experience you will head to Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side, via Simpson Bay and Cay Hill Lookout Point, for views and an opportunity to take some photos.
