Who Sails With Us | Why Charter a Tall Ship | One Stop Shopping

We’ll make your group or charter a breeze from start to finish!
Windjammer Barefoot Cruises is the original tall ship cruise line, offering the most authentic sailing experience for the best price in the industry. Our classic fleet of sailing ships criss-cross the turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean year round. From the Bahamas to South America we call on over fifty exotic ports.

Windjammer’s signature is casual fun. T-shirts and shorts are the uniform of the day. You can take your turn at the helm or relax with your feet propped up on the rail. Life ashore is yours for the making… beach bumming all-day or full of adventure. Nights on board are filled with dancing on deck, laughter and sharing great times with your shipmates. If this sounds like your idea of fun, all you have to do is pick a ship, then sit back and let us do all the work - before you know it you’ll be bare foot and loving life!

From the moment you make contact with our group sales department, your worries are over. Our expert sales staff is ready and willing to handle every aspect of your voyage. With over 30 years combined experience, they have dealt with every possible scenario and request. And if you think you’re in good hands now, wait until you meet the crew!

Our passengers range from age six to well, timeless. And they come from all over the world. But no matter the age or nationality, there are some common interests that bring people to Windjammer. A sense of adventure, a love of life and the magical feeling that fills your soul when the sails are raised and the ship takes flight. Whatever your collective interest – be they alpine skiing or zoology, you’ll be in good company with folks from all walks of life… as the past six decades have proven.

Freedom to Be You
You set the schedule, chose your meals and even decided who could come along. What else can you possibly do to make this ship your own? We allow you to display your company logo freely throughout the ship. Menus, napkins, banners, sheets… you can even fly the company flag. But if you want to say it loud and proud, display your corporate logo on our giant sails. Yes, it’s been done before. Now that’s what we call CUSTOM!

Customize Your Cruise to Suit Your Every Need
FLEXIBLE ITINERARIES Tell us where you want to go. The Caribbean is our back yard, and we’ve been sailing these waters for over 55 years. We know all the nooks and cranny’s and preferred ports ‘o call, but this doesn’t mean that you don’t have a choice. Choose from one of our existing itineraries or select the islands you want to visit (within reason of course). And if you decide at the last minute that you really like a particular island and want to stay an extra day – no problem. We don’t believe in fixed schedules, unless of course you want one. The only regiment on a Windjammer is the rise and setting of the sun. Land Ho! Our ships sail mostly at night, so your group can spend the whole day exploring the islands or simply relaxing on the beach.		EXCLUSIVITY Our smallest ship carries 64 passengers; our largest 122. Numbers like these would get lost in the crowd on a mega-liner. On a Windjammer, you are the crowd! The ship is yours for the week… your private yacht. You decide who comes along. Whether it’s a bunch of friends, family, or incentive group – a charter gives you exclusive rights to the ship and the fun has just begun. With ownership, comes privilege - you decide where you want to go, when you want to get there and what each day will bring. Read on and learn more about how you can customize your entire cruise!		CULINARY DELIGHTS Our chefs create hearty dishes that combine American and Caribbean cooking styles. They use locally grown produce and serve up home-style meals that taste great and stick to your ribs – giving you enough energy for late night dance sessions. We’ll work with you to plan a menu that’s just right. If you prefer couscous over rice, we’ll make it happen. Food allergies or dietary preferences? We can accommodate. We’ll do our best to make all of your culinary wishes a reality.

Ship Shape

Our vintage vessels were once owned by American blue bloods and European royalty. They have even graced the pages of National Geographic. Refurbished to include all of today’s modern comforts, ships feature spacious decks, dining saloons and air conditioned cabins that include private baths and bedding to suit your needs. Thanks to Captain Mike Burke who saved these beauties from the inevitable, and kept the dream of sailing a classic alive! PUBLIC SPACES DECKS - It’s where you hang out on a tall ship. Our decks are spacious and open. It’s where we meet friends, relax, read, watch sunsets, dance and play games. There are also plenty of built in benches and covered areas to protect you from the sun. SALOON AND GALLEY - In ship speak, a saloon is the dining room and the galley is the kitchen. Depending on the ship, there are normally two open style sittings. The dress code is casual (yes, t-shirts and shorts are okay) and dinner is served sit down or buffet style. The galley accommodates special dietary requests with advance notice. BAR - Open from 10:00 am to the wee hours of dawn, you will find one or two bars on board. They serve everything from cold bottled water to the best tropical rum drinks you ever tasted. MEETING SPACE - Hold your meeting on the top deck or in the Main Saloon. Audio Visual equipment can be set up if requested. If you prefer not to mix business with pleasure, we would be happy to make arrangements for pre-or post cruise meeting rooms ashore. CABINS All cabins are air-conditioned. Size and bedding varies. Choose a Suite with a double bed, a Standard Cabin with bunk beds or a cabin built for one.
