Breakaway Retreat Sample Itinerary
(the Grenadines)*

*This is a sample itinerary, subject to change at any time. Please email us with any questions or requests.

Day 1   -  Union Island

Welcome to the Grenadines!
We’ll meet you at the airport or dinghy dock and shuttle you and your bag to svKarma, where the boatdog will be waiting to welcome you aboard. 

We will start out with a Meet and Greet cocktail hour where you can start to get to know each other and then it’s time for a presentation by your Captain about the upcoming trip, our vessel, safety tips and important information. Depending on everyones arrival time, we may sneak out of Clifton Bay and drop anchor at the more private Frigate Island, where turtles may be popping up around the boat.

Afterwords, we’ll all share everyone’s current story and goals/expectations for their time aboard! 
we’ll also share a bit of our personal inspiration.

Day 2   -  Mayreau

After sunrise and breakfast your hosts will share a (hopefully brief) telling of their story/path to freedom; how we got here, as well as some of the fears and hurdles we faced along the way. We strive for 100% transparency and hope you’ll feel open to doing the same throughout your stay.

A short sail to Mayreau in the morning, dropping anchor in Salt Whistle Bay, a postcard perfect palm fringed semi-circle of white sand. Worthwhile short hike up the hill for the breathtaking view from the top, or simply walk the beach and settle in under the shade of a palm tree where the view of the bay is certain to help you decompress from normalcy and allow your mind to open to the idea of unrestricted dreams.

Dinner/Sundowners topic: Share the results of your dreams exercise.
We’ll discuss what hurdles and or fears are standing in the way of those dreams, and how to feel “unStuck”.

Day 3/4  -   Tobago Cays

After breakfast we set sail for the beautiful Tobago Cays, one of the World’s most breathtaking anchorages. The anchorage is protected by an enormous horseshoe reef which also provides amazing snorkeling. You can swim with the turtles that feed around the five islands that make up the Cays, or explore ashore with iguanas and tortoises. You don’t even have to leave the boat to watch several turtles surfacing around us, and we find it’s an awesome place to spend the time in between turtle sightings thinking through a 10 year vision plan.

In the evening we can arrange a wonderful lobster or fish beach BBQ with one of the local guides, or simply light up the BBQ ourselves on board and dine under the stars.

First eventing’s topic: Share your 10year vision plan
Communication 101, Love Languages and using ”Yes AND…”

The Tobago Cayes are simply too good to leave after only one night, so we’ll stick around for another day of swimming with the turtles or exploring the islands. Between time ashore and time underwater you’ll never get bored in the Tobago Cays…

Spend the day snorkeling and exploring the Cays – since the area is protected the wealth of sea life is extraordinary. Just off the little island of Baradal is an area cordoned off for turtles to feed, and it’s an incredible experience to get close and swim with these remarkable animals right off the boat. 

In the evening: Finances/Investments/Working remotely vs FIRE (Financial Independent Retire Early)

Day 5- Palm Island

Leaving the Cays by the southern entrance enjoy an exhilarating sail south to reach the protected neon blue waters of Palm Island.
This island is home to a private resort and a picture perfect beach covered in swaying palms. Easily one of the most beautiful beaches in the caribbean, and your view from the boat is simply incredible.

You can swim in the calm waters, relax in a float tied off the back of the boat and simply soak up the sun and your newfound laid back island vibes. Plenty of downtime to refine those goals and start breaking them down into a manageable hit list within the next few years (or even the day you return home).

Our evening conversation will be around your shorter term goals and some specifics on Minimalism/Downsizing and Priorities.

Day 6 - Petit St Vincent

If weather allows, we’ll explore the impossibly tiny sand islet of Mopion (with nothing but a single coconut thatch sun shelter) before heading over to the PSV anchorage overnight. Both Mopion and the quiet bay off Petit St Vincent are perfect for collecting your thoughts, discussing hopes and dreams with other guests or even some time for yourself free-writing or journaling.

Our evening activities will focus in on Strength Finders

Day 7  - Union Island

A short sail back to Union Island where we can enjoy a cocktail to celebrate our successes at the aptly named “Happy Island”, where an industrious local entrepreneur decided to follow his own dreams and build not only a bar, but the very island it sits upon!

Our last night together will be spent creating a personal action plan for after you return - What’s your first step upon returning home??

*Potential Sail

If our crew-guests are more focused on sailing than hanging out in bays and exploring either above or below water (and weather depending, like all our destinations), we will add Bequia as the northern stop in our journey, which would mean a day or two with longer sails.

This island is one of the most laid back and attractive islands of the whole Caribbean. Restaurants and bars abound, plenty of onshore activities, and for more active guests there are numerous hiking trails around Bequia with superb views from the hill tops.
