Embark on an enriching journey through the British Virgin Islands and French-infused St. Barths. Begin in Dutch-flavored Sint Maarten before sailing through the British Virgin Islands—where you are met by Spanish Town, your gateway to The Baths, Virgin Gorda’s geologic wonder made of awe-inspiring boulders that form sheltered sea pools on the beach’s edge; Beef Island’s white-sand beaches and unspoiled nature; and the vibrant coral reefs and fascinating flora and fauna of Anguilla’s Sandy Ground. Explore the lush island paradise of Saba before overnighting in chic St. Barths, a jetsetter’s Caribbean playground. Swim in Tortola’s Soper’s Hole and explore the hidden bays and water-level caves of Norman Island. Let time stand still in Prickly Pear, an uninhabited national-park island on the North Sound of Virgin Gorda, fringed by spectacular coral reefs. Your journey ends where it began, so may explore more of Philipsburg, Sint Maarten’s lively capital.

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.
Nearly every publication written about Virgin Gorda will emphasize the need to visit “The Baths” – don’t miss it! SeaDream generally arrives early and anchors off Spanish Town to give guests an early start to view The Baths before all of the tourists arrive from the neighboring Islands. You may also consider excellent scuba diving options or an opportunity to swim with the dolphins. SeaDream navigates scenically up the coast and arrives in North Sound to anchor just off the Bitter End Yacht Club. Here we offer watersports, land adventures, hiking options with the crew and tenders to the Bitter End! Depending on the voyage, you may also visit Prickly Pear Island for another signature Champagne & Caviar Splash® option with an incredible setting.
Nestled in the British Virgin Islands, Trellis Bay, Beef Island is a tranquil, picturesque coastal town known for its laid-back charm, artistic flair, and scenic anchorage. Sitting just east of Tortola, Trellis Bay delights visitors as both a cultural hub and a natural haven, offering unsurpassed Caribbean island serenity, long stretches of white sand, alluring turquoise waters, and gorgeous shorelines. SeaDream exclusively drops anchor in this beautiful bay in the late afternoon until midnight for the island’s evening Full Moon Party—a celebratory experience where guests sway to the rhythmic beats of local music, witness the charm of lively fire dancers, and absorb the tantalizing aroma of savory Caribbean cuisine.
This British Overseas Territory is becoming more popular due to the incredible resort options as well as world recognized beaches and amazing golf. SeaDream offers an opportunity to tee off, snorkel, or, for the energetic, bike around the island with the Club Director. Naturally, we will also offer water sports while we are anchored off Sandy Ground.
This Caribbean paradise is a special municipality of the Netherlands. Due to this fact, Saba is actually the location of the tallest, or highest point/elevation of the Netherlands, even though it is a few thousand miles away from its European homeland. With an estimated local population of just over 2,000 people, Saba is now primarily supported by tourism, and is known for a concentration on “eco-tourism”. This includes diving, hiking, and climbing its mountainous terrain.
The island is so small that there is only 1 main road, and its airport is well-known for having one of the shortest commercial runways in the world. The island’s intimate size, picturesque Red rooftops and lush vegetation make it a perfect port to call on during your special Caribbean yachting vacation.
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.

This marina on Tortola's West End retained its quaint charm while being a center of activity and voted the best marina in the BVIs. Soper's Hole imparts a great sense of place and physical intimacy and is considered one of the most picturesque marinas in the Caribbean. SeaDream is offering several land adventures including, snorkeling, scuba diving, land rover safari and swimming with the dolphins. For guests wanting some extra activity, ask the Captain or Club Director to set up a bike ride to Road Town along the coastal road. For guests wanting to simply shop or explore the marina, we suggest checking out Pusser’s Landing along with the cute boutiques.
Norman Island is located at the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands. It could very well be the very same island reputed to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's pirate novel Treasure Island. It is said that the island was named after a pirate who purchased it at some point during the early 18th century. The island is uninhabited and privately owned by Dr Henry Jarecki. Its area is about 600 acres (2.4 km²), and it is about 2.5 miles (4 km) long. A large harbor is known as "The Bight" offers one of the most protected anchorages in the area. Guests will enjoy some great hiking opportunities as well as snorkeling and scuba diving. Another attractive option may be to check out the Willie T that is generally anchored in the harbor or simply have a beverage at the Pirates Bight Bar.
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.

This is the "Must-see & Do" Yachting Land Adventure on Virgin Gorda, if not in the entire British Virgin Islands. Open-air safari wagons will take you and your fellow SeaDreamers on a short twenty-minute ride through the village of Spanish Town to discover The Baths, an intriguing group of sea caves and unusual rock formations, spectacularly set on an amazing beach. From the parking area follow the winding footpath down to the beach to explore this geological wonder. Wade knee deep through the sea caves formed by mammoth boulders and bask in the shafts of sunlight pouring through the natural ceiling into the pools below. Learn about the boulders' origins and the many curious names given to the rock formations. Swim, relax and enjoy the ambiance of this piece of paradise. Then, retrace your footprints in the sand and ascend the path to the Top of the Baths where you will enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie. There is also time to relax and take a dip in the pool before departing via the safari wagons for the return to your SeaDream yacht.
Notes
This tour involves walking along an uneven natural trail on an incline to and from the beaches. The trail through The Baths requires walking over giant wet boulders, bending under boulders, and descending ladders; guests’ feet will get wet while walking through this area. The cave exploration portion may be strenuous for some guests, and guests may set their own pace and participate as much or as little as they wish. Guests who prefer not to take part in the cave exploration may remain at the beach during this portion of the tour. The tour is not recommended for guests with mobility considerations. The vehicle requires guests to climb 3 steps to board and has forward-facing bench seats accommodating 5 guests per bench. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the uneven footpath to The Baths, and water shoes, not flip-flops, should be worn in the water. A backpack is more convenient than a shoulder bag when walking through The Baths. Guests should bring swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen. The park operates a flag warning system: a red flag indicates no swimming, while a yellow flag indicates that guests should enter the water with caution. The minimum age is 5 years. Cold refreshments, snacks, and souvenir items are available for purchase at The Baths.
A minimum number of participants is required to operate all Yachting Land Adventures, and some may have limited capacity.

Board a private speed boat and set off to your first snorkel spot at Little Bay, the tiniest beach on Anguilla and one of the most beautiful locations to snorkel. It is also one of the most private beaches on Anguilla, since the only way to get there is by foot or by water. Since it is protected by high cliffs on three sides there is hardly any surf, making it a perfect snorkel stop. Snorkeling in these crystal-clear warm waters will be a rewarding experience with plenty of colorful fish, squids and shells. In general, Anguilla is well known for its snorkeling and has an abundance of fish; you can find the feisty little black-barred Sergeant Major and plenty of colorful Wrasses, Snappers and Grunts. Then on to the second snorkel stop, which is at Shoal Bay, where you will find a reef abundant with coral and sea fans, along with Parrot Fish, Blue Tang and even Trunk Fish, the ones that look like little triangular boxes. After this, the third stop will be Sandy Island also well known for its excellent snorkeling. After this last snorkel experience, you will board the speed boat to return to the pier in Road Bay while enjoying a well-deserved rum punch.

If you like a good workout in beautiful natural surroundings, this hike is for you! Enjoy some of Saba’s unspoiled beauty with a hike along the Crispeen Track.
Named for Saint Crispeen, the patron saint of shoemakers, this vigorous trail starts at the little town known as The Bottom. From the tender pier, you get to the starting point by local taxi van and set out with your local nature guide. The guide will point out the island flora as the trail leads you through the rainforest, across fields and over a forest ridge.
The trail continues through pasture land, highlighting views of The Bottom and secondary rainforest, until it meets with the Mt. Scenery Trail. From this point, a downhill trek of about 300 steps brings you to the town of Windward side, where you will be able to enjoy a refreshing lemonade and a local Johnny Cake at the new Colibri Café or do some shopping. At the time and place designated by your driver, you will be picked up for the ride down to the tender landing and your SeaDream yacht.
