DISCOVER UNFORGETTABLE CRUISING DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE

Sailing catamaran cruise in the Grenadines

From where to start your Kite and Wingfoil Cruise?

When people book a Kite and Wingfoil Cruise on a sailing Catamaran, they usually have a very clear idea in mind:

 

getting away from crowded Spots

untouched nature

remote anchorages

time on the water, not in marinas

freedom, wind, silence, space

 

And yet, the very first decision already creates a paradox:

Where should the Cruise actually start?

Because the choice of the starting point quietly determines how much of that dream becomes reality.

 

 

The Temptation of Easy Access

Some destinations are extremely well connected to international air traffic. Direct flights, frequent connections, competitive prices — they are easy, familiar, and reassuring. The main advantages of well-connected starting points for your cruise are:

 

Easier and often cheaper flights

Less travel fatigue

Simpler logistics for luggage and sports equipment

Familiar infrastructure, supermarkets, marinas

 

For many guests, especially first-time sailors, this feels like the “safe” choice.

But there’s a hidden cost.

The hidden price of that convenience is that highly connected airports usually mean highly frequented destinations. More flights → more people → more boats.

 

 

To truly escape the crowds, you often need to sail longer — sometimes several hours or even a full day and night — just to reach the areas and kite spots that feel remote and truly untouched.

The Alternative: Flying a Bit Further 

There is another approach — one that looks less obvious at first glance.

Instead of choosing the easiest airport, you choose a more remote entry point:

 

fewer flights and / or slightly longer travel time

sometimes a higher ticket price

 

At first, this feels like a compromise. In reality, it’s often the opposite.

 

What You Gain by Starting Further from the Mainstream

Advantages of more remote starting points

 

Fewer boats from day one

Shorter sailing distances to untouched anchorages

More time in nature, less time “escaping” civilization

More flexibility for kite sessions and spontaneous stops

A stronger sense of expedition and adventure

 

Instead of spending the first days getting away, you start already away.

For active Cruises — especially kite- or wingfoil-focused trips — this makes a huge difference:

 

less transit sailing

more time on the water

better conditions without crowds

calmer anchorages in the evenings

You trade a bit of flight convenience for a much deeper Cruise experience.

It’s Not About Right or Wrong — It’s About Priorities

There is no universally “better” starting point. It depends on what matters most to you and your preferences. For our Kite and Wingfoil Cruises in the Grenadines that would mean:

 

Choose an easy-access start  if you value:

minimal travel effort

lower flight costs

comfort and familiarity

actually enjoy the combination of longer sailing times, Kitesurfing and Wingfoiling

 

Choose a more remote start if you value:

shorter sailing times to arrive on the spots

you´re scared of getting seasick 🙂

fewer boats and riders

more time kiting and Wingfoiling, less time sailing

 

 

A Kite and Wingfoil Cruise is not just another trip — It’s more like a changed Rhythm

The starting point sets the rhythm of the entire trip.

Do you want to ease into remoteness — or start right inside it?

Do you prefer to sail long distances to escape — or keep sailing short and purposeful?

Do you see travel as something to minimize — or as part of the adventure itself?

Sometimes, flying a little longer is exactly what allows you to arrive sooner — mentally and emotionally.

 

 

A sailing Cruise is one of the few forms of travel where less convenience can mean more freedom.

And once you drop anchor in a quiet bay, with no other boats around, steady wind, and nothing but nature —
the extra hour in the air suddenly feels like the best decision you made.
