Star Clippers is very unique. You will sail like our ancestors did many years ago, letting the wind take you to your destinations. In fact, Star Clippers try their best not to use their engines. They plan the itineraries to go in the direction of the trade winds. The Journeys are created with the wind charts, and the major energy source is wind propulsion—minimal motor emissions, which is safer for the environment.

You can climb the masts and get quite the view from the platform of the sails. Each day, you watch the beautiful sails being raised and go the way of the ocean.

Most of the rooms don’t have balconies, only on their newest ship are suites with a balcony..Their ships have a deep draft - which means that they sit low in the ocean, and because of this, you will not feel the waves as much as you would on the larger ships. This is an authentic way of sailing ~ It’s not your typical way of sailing, and they are near replicas of the clipper ships from the Golden Age of sailing.

I would enjoy laying on the netting at the ship's bow and would love to see the dolphins jumping around us.

.

Star Clipper has an open bridge policy, which is a ton of fun to pop into the bridge and chat with the captain about the controls and the area around the ship.

.

There are knot-tying nautical talks where they teach you to tie knots properly and expertly. You can also “Take the Helm” and steer the ship.

.

Local Entertainment with Nightly Dancing Under the Stars & More! PLUS, you will enjoy complimentary Watersports.

You can do snorkelling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, waterskiing, sailing, and more on the Marina Platform.
