Ocean born, Mountain Bound

An immersive sailing retreat

Fully Booked

Spend a week aboard a catamaran—learning to sail, hiking a volcanoe, free-diving into turquoise waters, and sharing meals under the stars.

What to expect

This is a week-long, live-aboard sailing experience in the Caribbean island of Martinique.

Our days will be guided by the wind — diving into clear water, hiking a volcano, and sharing meals as the sun sets over the horizon.

It’s designed to be grounding, empowering, and genuinely life-shifting in the best way.

Life on board

The Boat

Come aboard a spacious Lagoon 46 catamaran built for comfort and smooth sailing.

With wide decks, open living spaces, and cozy cabins below, there’s room to gather or retreat, and simply enjoy quiet mornings.

Where You’ll Sleep

You’ll stay in comfortable double-occupancy cabins, each with a private bathroom and shower.

Friends and couples will share a cabin together, while solo travelers are thoughtfully paired. Sharing space is part of the experience; a simple way to connect while still feeling at home onboard.

Meet your Host

Hey, I’m Jadyn — sailor, storyteller, vagabond, and the heart behind this experience. After endless nights at sea, exploring remote islands, and falling in love with the underwater world, this is where I became who I am. I've built a life around adventure, traveling to over 30 countries and inspiring others to live differently.

Now, I’m turning my lifestyle into a shared experience. A space where you’re not just along for the ride, you’re part of the story.

Meet your Captain

Hey, I’m Brandon, your captain and also Jadyn’s dad. A few years ago, I sold nearly everything we owned, stepped away from life on land, and took my family to sea. What started from a midlife crisis, became four unforgettable years sailing more than 17,000 nautical miles throughout the Caribbean, navigating everything from glassy waters to wild squalls.

I hold a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain’s License and my goal is to make you feel safe, confident, and fully immersed in the experience.

What People Are Saying

  • Omg!! Do it!! Book it!! My husband & I went on the first retreat and had an AMAZING time. Jadyn is a very caring host & there is always something for everyone to enjoy!! Whether you wanna relax on the bow, jump off the boat, chat & eat snacks, mix drinks, or snorkel around - you can!! It was a very chill and welcoming atmosphere. My favorite parts of the week were definitely sitting together at the helm during morning sails, group dinner time, snorkeling with big schools of fish, and hiking on Mt Pelee. Also, I took non-drowsy Dramamine during the trip & didn’t get sea sick!!

    — Anika Davis

  • The boat itself was amazing, spacious, and the accommodations were perfect. Every evening was a picturesque sunset, filled with good food, vibes, and endless fun. The hike to the summit was challenging but so rewarding. However, the best part was making friends with all of the awesome people on board. I would do this trip a million more times if I could!

    — Robert Torgov

  • This trip was truly one of my greatest adventures and I would absolutely do it again if I could. Jadyn put in so much effort to make this trip as special as possible. She welcomed all of us on board to share her passions for sailing and hiking, and made sure we enjoyed our time to the fullest. She is a beautiful and kind soul who gave me a new found love for the ocean and boat life. I am forever grateful to all the people I got to meet on my trip!

    — Chloe Ziegler

  • Not only do you meet incredible people and form instant connections, but you also discover a deeper version of yourself. It was the perfect environment to challenge myself, try new things, and return home with a fresh perspective I didn’t have before. And beyond the experiences, the meals were amazing, the accommodations were fantastic, and the views were absolutely unforgettable. I’m already hoping I can join another retreat soon!
