SAIL ON A TALL SHIP... THE BRIG UNICORN
$95.00 Per Person
There are boats - and then there are BOATS.
This impressive ship may look familiar. It was used in the filming of
ROOTS. It was christened in 1947 and functioned as a Baltic trader. Now it
provides one of the best excursions on this island.
The day begins with sail along the west coastline to Soufriere, a charming
old West Indian town dating back to 1713 when Louis XIV of France granted
the lands around Soufriere to the Devaux family.
Upon your arrival here, you will be fortunate enough to take a land tour
of the town and then venture into the Sulphur Springs, Diamond Falls, and
Botanical Gardens. We were so fortunate to meet Joan Devaux, decendant of
the original family, who has worked diligently to maintain the excellence
of this historical landmark. Do note the small "bath" used by Napoleon's
Josephine when you visit.
Your return trip to Castries includes a buffet lunch as well as time to
snorkel and swim. You will have a short visit in Marigot Bay, a natural
inlet and harbor full of extraordinary yachts.
We love Soufriere and all it has to offer.
Enjoy your time there.
Although this tour has a minimum of 10 passengers, it is heavily booked
from December through April. If your number is less that 10 people, we
recommend that you book the tour and we will update you closer to your
tour date with any problems.
