What To Expect
Tradition Sailing Charters
Enjoy a "once in a lifetime experience" sailing onboard a historical and traditionally rigged, Classic West Indian Sloop. Tradition, built in 1978 to sail cargo up and down the Lesser Antilles, Caribbean (including smuggling rum!), is one of the last surviving vessels of her kind. The Captain will pick you up on the small wooden dock in Sandy Ground, and transfer you to Tradition. Once the Captain gives a short history of Tradition and a safety briefing, the crew will raise the sails while you enjoy a delightful 1-1.5 hour sail to the gorgeous and secluded Little Bay. The captain and crew are always happy to show you the ropes, if you'd like to participate in the sailing.
Little Bay
Once at anchor in Little Bay, spend the next hour exploring the delightful marine life, including turtles and stingrays, using the complimentary snorkel gear and swim aids. Swim to the beach, jump off the famous Little Bay Rock, or simply, relax on the boat's shaded deck enjoying a cold beer, chilled glass of wine, rum punch, or your favorite beverage. This all-inclusive adventure includes a fully stocked cooler with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snorkeling gear, towels, swim aids and an authentic sailing experience onboard the last surviving sail-trading vessel of its kind.

5.00We had a fantastic time! The trip was well organized and the boat staff and crew were amazing. Would highly recommend Tradition Sailing if you are on the island.

5.00Our sail on Tradition was a highlight of a great week-long visit to Anguilla. There were six of us in total on the 3-hour sail. It was a gorgeous day (a lucky break in a week of mixed weather) and we had a fantastic time with Captain Deb and her stellar crew. We spent about an hour under sail to Little Bay, where several of our group snorkeled for an hour or more and others simply enjoyed floating in the water with noodles, amid turtles and other sea life. Rum punches or other drinks happily handed out to those afloat when asked. We got a lot of great stories about the boat and its history and about the island as well. Drinks of all kinds were provided, along with towels, noodles, snorkel equipment, even sun screen if needed. A lovely and relaxing way to spend a beautiful morning. Highly recommended.
Excellent half day trip. So much fun and great staff.

5.00Deb and her crew took us on a great half day trip to little bay. They were super accommodating, gave us time for snorkeling and provided plenty of rum punch! We brought our own snorkel gear but there is no need, they have all the gear you need on the boat. They also provide nice towels for drying off after you’ve finished in the water. It was a wonderful way to experience the beautiful coast of Anguilla.
Absolutely relaxing adventure!

5.00We have been coming to Anguilla for over 10 years and this was the first year we took this sail. Shame on us - as we have been missing out on this incredibly fun experience! From the moment of first contact, throughout the sail, snorkeling and lunch, to disembarkment, it was absolutely perfect. Laurie, Deb and Marie were fantastic hosts and sailors, with no detail too small for them. It is rare to find this level of service anywhere in the world, let alone a beautiful sailboat. We will definitely be repeat customers!
Fun on the water

5.00This was a wonderful half day on the water. Our hosts Deb and Laurie were great. We appreciated learning some history of the island, as well as the beautiful ship Traditions herself. Sailing, snorkeling, swimming, topped off with ice cold beverages like rum punch and rose wine….what more can you ask for?! Will definitely book another visit next time we come to Anguilla
This was a delightful...

Sailing, snorkeling, swimming, topped off with ice cold beverages ( rum punch, rose wine, beer, water) ….what’s not to love about that?! We will definitely book again next time we visit Anguilla
