Grenada: Sunset Schooner Cruise with Champagne & Boat Dogs

Summary

Sailing Grenada’s coast with champagne boat dogs and sea breeze

You’ll sail Grenada’s coastline at sunset on a classic schooner with four friendly rescue dogs for company. Expect fresh appetizers from an onboard chef, plenty of drinks including champagne, and easy conversation with locals. It’s relaxed, warm-hearted, and leaves you with that “wish it lasted longer” feeling.

What’s the experience like?

“Don’t mind the paws — they’re part of the crew,” Captain Mike grinned as one of the ship’s four rescue dogs flopped down by my feet. I’d barely climbed aboard the schooner in Grenada before the dogs had already picked favorites (not me — yet). The deck was warm from the afternoon sun, and there was this faint salty smell mixing with something herby from the galley. I didn’t expect to feel so instantly at home on a boat, but maybe it’s hard not to relax when you’re handed a cold drink right away and nobody seems in a rush for anything.

We drifted just offshore, sails creaking quietly overhead. There were only a handful of us plus Captain Mike and his partner Li (she’s got this way of pointing out little things — like which cove is best for swimming or how to spot flying fish). The light started turning gold, then orange. Someone passed around trays with these little bites — I think it was some kind of local cheese with pickled something? My glass kept getting topped up with champagne. It wasn’t fancy but it felt real, like you could laugh too loud or just sit back and listen to the water without anyone judging. One of the dogs tried to sneak a snack off my plate; Li caught him mid-pounce and scolded him in French Creole. We all cracked up.

I still remember that moment when the sun dipped into the Caribbean Sea — not silent exactly, but everyone sort of paused. Even the dogs stopped begging for a second. The sky went all pink and purple behind Grand Anse Beach. I leaned against the rail, sticky from salt spray, thinking how sometimes you don’t need much more than good people (and okay, good dogs) to feel lucky. After that we just sailed back slow while someone played music on their phone — nothing fancy again, but somehow perfect for that night.
