Relax with blissful day cruises ...
                                 on board a Classic Wooden Schooner...
The Friendship Rose is a beautiful, 100 foot sailing Schooner which was built by hand in Bequia and first launched in 1969. It has a fantastic story, rich in Bequia's history and Captain Lewis, who helped build her, is still Captain today. A day cruise on the Friendship Rose is like no other - it is an authentic, wonderfully relaxed way to explore the Grenadines. Join the crew for fishing 'local style' and get involved, learn the ropes and hoist the sails, try your hand at the wheel during the voyage and watch for dolphins and turtles from the bow sprit.
All food is prepared freshly on board. You are welcomed aboard to a fresh breakfast with French pressed coffee, fresh tropical fruit and pastries. Later a delicious lunch is served with wines and coffees and, on the return sail to Bequia, afternoon tea and cake. Sailing snacks are always available, and there is even a Champagne toast on arrival in Mustique!

Champagne is served on arrival. Mustique's natural beauty and its quiet
