“Living the Dream”.
"We came to LTD Sailing in January of 2019 with some experience but without much else. A week on the water with Jenny and 6 years later we own our cruising sailboat and lived all last winter in the Bahamas. We are “living the dream." We are grateful for all you did to get us started."

Course Itineraries
Your sailing journey takes you through the crystal blue waters of Grenada and beyond, combining hands-on learning with unforgettable adventures. Whether you choose the focused 7-day course or the extended 10-day option, every day brings new skills, breathtaking destinations, and the freedom of the open sea.
Sailing, Learning, and Adventure all in One Week
In just seven days, you’ll sharpen your sailing skills while exploring the best of Grenada and its neighboring islands. Each day offers hands-on learning with expert instructors, from navigation and safety drills to mooring techniques. Along the way, you’ll snorkel vibrant reefs, drop anchor in picturesque bays, and dine at local gems like Paradise Beach Club.
This itinerary balances practical training with unforgettable experiences—like sailing to Sandy Island’s marine park and snorkeling the famous Underwater Sculpture Park. It's the perfect introduction to the Southern Caribbean’s stunning waters and steady trade winds.
A Deeper Dive into Sailing and the Caribbean
Over ten unforgettable days, you’ll go beyond the basics, with extra time to refine your sailing skills and explore even more of the Southern Caribbean. This itinerary covers everything in the 7-day course—like mastering navigation, sail trim, and anchoring techniques—but adds a relaxed pace and additional destinations.
Sail further north to Union Island and the stunning Tobago Cays, where you’ll snorkel with turtles and enjoy a beachside lobster BBQ (seasonal). Spend more time at iconic spots like Chatham Bay and Mayreau, perfecting your skills while soaking in the serene surroundings.
This extended adventure is ideal for those who want to maximize their learning while fully immersing themselves in the Caribbean lifestyle.
