As proud owners of a Riva Junior, we have experienced firsthand the allure of these historic boats. The restoration of “Gioia” required 1 year of meticulous attention to detail, patience and dedication. Every time we set sail, we are transported back in time, embracing the spirit of adventure and luxury that Riva boats embody. The small Riva Junior, with its compact size and timeless design, has brought us countless hours of joy and admiration for the brand's heritage.

Although the BVI can be busy and some anchorages crowded in season, there are still quite a few quiet spots if you get off the beaten path! The British Virgin Islands were devasted by the hurricanes of 2017 but now all the charter ⛵️are back! Gone are the days of finding your own remote piece of paradise in the BVIs. If you’re in a mooring field, expect to have lots of neighbors, close at hand. So, choose your ball wisely.

Jedes Jahr im März liefern sich aufsehenerregende Segelyachten bei der Bucket Regatta ein Wettrennen um einen Eimer (vom englischen bucket). Die Bucket-Teilnehmerliste enthielt auch dieses Jahr wieder einige der spektakulärsten Segel-Superyachten aus der ganzen Welt. Darunter auch einige große Schwestern unserer Swan 48 Ambra und die ganz großen italienischen Perini. Was als Spaß-Event an der US-Ostküste begann, wird seit 1995 rund um St. Barth nach dem Vorbild des Segelrennens Les Voiles...

St. Martin is known for its half-French, half-Dutch culture, the Sint Maarten – Heineken-Regatta, and its picturesque beaches (with famous views of the planes approaching and leaving the Caribbean island). 5 years after Irma and rebuilding is far from being completed. Hurricane Irma struck the island of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin on September 6th, 2017. Irma was a category 5 storm with strong winds that reached a peak intensity of 177 mph (285 km/h).

Es war der Knaller und wir waren dabei ! Die 43. Sint Maarten – Heineken-Regatta ist die größte Regatta in der Karibik und zugleich auch die wahrscheinlich größte Warmwasserregatta der Welt. Ich durfte als Bloggerin im Presse-Team dabei sein und auf dem Presseboot sensationell nah an den schnellen Yachten vorbeifahren und war mitten im Geschehen. Torsten konnte mit dem holländischen Racing Team (Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup) am 3. Regatta-Tag mit segeln und sogar ans Steuer der...

We checked out of St Barths at Gustavia, but made our way for an overnight stop in a quiet bay on Ile Fourchue, an uninhabited and private island a few miles North West of St Barths. The tiny bay had a few mooring buoys and we were able to pick up a mooring close to the shore. We spent the day swimming, snorkeling, and hiking. Ile Fourchue has four rocky peaks in its “corners” and the views are insane. From each peak you can see St Barths, St Martin, Saba, St Eustatius , St Kitts, and...

St Barths will always be the place to be! For a small island, St. Barth feels like a much bigger place. Above the Caribbean’s turquoise waters, the hills rise asymmetrically and pitch toward one slope, much like an ocean wave. The towering palms, night-blooming cacti and decorative blooms of wild trumpets and frangipanis, make it hard to imagine that all of St. Barth was once an active volcano. The population of St. Barth is approximately 9,000 people, most of whom are French expatriates or...

Crossing to Barbuda! Once we cleared the protection of the reefs north of Antigua a big squall came through and the wind was very gusty. If you are 6nm away from Barbuda, you still can’t see it, it is a very flat island. It’s not easy to navigate through the shallow waters…. but look at the turquoise waters! No boats in sight, but we do see the AIS of 2 boats anchored on the SE tip under Spanish Point. It’s too late in the day for us to navigate across Gravenor Bay, we can only do that...

Shirley Heights is a high point that affords a superb view of English and Falmouth Harbours. The view is especially spectacular at sunset when all of English Harbour is all lit up. From 4pm until 10pm every Sunday, party until the sun goes down with drinks, barbecue and local bands playing Caribbean flavored music. This is the perfect crowd to meet all the crews ⛵️⛵️⛵️ Nelson’s Dockyard Marina is the only continuously working Georgian Era dockyard in the world. English Harbour is...
