Bluewinds is the perfect platform for experiencing the majesty of the Caribbean! An ongoing 2022/23 refit brings all new interior and exterior decor, new generators, water maker, tender and a "boat load" of new gear, making Bluewinds will be the premiere Lagoon 560 chartering the British Virgin Islands and Greater Caribbean region. Her crew, Josh and Bean, are industry professionals that will not only take care of guest needs, but lead experiences and create an active, albeit luxurious charter experience for groups of friends and families alike.

No expense was spared in outfitting this gorgeous luxury sailing yacht which offers four guest cabins (for 8 guests), each with their own private bathroom, a salon with 360 degree windows, 2 dining areas and a foredeck sitting area. Amenities and toys include TVs in each cabin, 2 trampolines, a 15-foot tender for wakeboarding, tubing or zipping to gorgeous beaches, 2 standup paddleboards, 1 double kayak, a hydraulic swim step for easy water access, and snorkeling and diving gear. Bluewind’s elegant yet minimalist design provides the handling of a performance sailing catamaran while offering the ambience and amenities of a world class resort on the water. Spacious design of the cockpit and flybridge areas offer guests panoramic vistas, al fresco dining and ample space for lounging, whether in sun or shade.

    8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
    Paul and Ashley worked well together, went to to extremes to work with us on our itinerary and activities. I particularly appreciated Paul’s willingness to make moving around on and off the boat and dinghy safe and workable for the elder in our group. It was a challenge for him!
    Cruising Area
    Did you like the area you chartered in?
    We enjoyed it and learned a lot about USVI and its history, geography and oceanography. Next time we would like more snorkeling, so would probably look to the BVIs.
    May we post this review on our website? Yes

    We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.

    1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
    Yes. Extremely. The captain (Paul) went above and beyond to take excursions, care for seniors, share information and give us unique experiences.

    2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
    The layout was extremely comfortable. Upper deck was a great place to be during sailing trips and at night. Yacht was clean initially but the dining area was not maintained during the week. Food crumbs stayed on the deck throughout the trip.

    3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
    The air conditioning went out Day 3. Paul (captain) tried to troubleshoot and fix but was unable to and there was not anyone who was able to come and address at port. Paul was very concerned and gracious dealing with a stressful situation. He anchored and moored in bays that caught a night breeze. We were fortunate that we experienced little rain and temperatures were moderate, otherwise it could have been uncomfortable. Not ideal for our senior parents in their 80’s.

    4. Was the food good and well presented?
    Yes. The food was excellent. Fresh, well prepared, flavorful and a nice presentation.

    5. Did you like the area you sailed?
    Absolutely 100%. Paul’s selection of routes and coves were exceptional and enjoyable whether it be sailing, hiking, or snorkeling.

    6. Could we at Virgin Island Sailing, Ltd. have helped you further in any way?

    7. May we post this review on our website?
    Yes

    8. Additional comments on your charter?
    Towels were not replenished or maintained. We were all given one towel each for the entire trip. There were 5 beach towels for 7 people. One was used to wipe up coffee and we had to continue to use throughout the trip. Paul’s selection of activities, attention, care and fun personality rate a 5. Food and culinary experience is a 4-5 along with Ramona. Physical boat 2-3 because of the air conditioning going out.
