DISCOVER UNFORGETTABLE CRUISING DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE
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.
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.
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.
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:
minimal travel effort
lower flight costs
comfort and familiarity
actually enjoy the combination of longer sailing times, Kitesurfing and Wingfoiling
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
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.
