I've been on a couple of Windjammer trips. They aren't really geared to scuba divers, although you can make arrangements to dive with an outside dive op. I did this successfully in St. Vincent, really enjoyed the dives, but on the next day not enough divers signed up to do the dive trip so I couldn't go. Bummer.
Windjammer is a no-frills, laid-back way to see the Carribean. I didn't look at your profile, but if you're a young person looking for partying, this probably isn't the trip for you. If you're an older, parrott-head type, you'll love it.

A friend of mine has done several of these and loves them, he doesn't dive though.

I know a lot about the windjammers Fleet. My husband and I have sailed many trips as far back as 1989. In fact that is where we done our first resort course Tabgo while on the Phantom. We certified in 1996 and this year will be going to Aruba on the Legacy end of Aug. There is a lot to say about this trip but the diving is not cheap. The trip it self can be. There is several ways of saving.This trip is for the diver and non diver fun for both. It is not a dive boat. If you need more information email me I can give more details . Where we have dove and what to expect.

The one thing you have to look out for is the heavy partying and rum punches.I have been on 12+ trips and there is always a party. It is what you make for yourself if you are planing diving stay away from the rum that part is free,morning and snack time.
I do agree about the diving but because they have no itenary. And they do there best to provide weather has a lot to do with it. We also leave a couple days early to get extra dives inn. We have been BVI great wrecks,Grenada,Myrue, Beque,Domique. The last trip was 2004 Grenada Aug sept Yankee&Poly didn't dive as much but we were between two hurricance Frances and Ivan. You can understand that they do want to give a good and safe trip.

I've been on 9 WJ trips. They are really fun but do not plan on a dive, eat, sleep trip. Our last trip, and final one, was 2001 on the Yankee Clipper. We were offered 4 dives.... all week..... and each was $60 even tho we had our own gear. There were more Discover Scuba types than certified divers. We've found people of all ages, young, middle, older and young at heart on all our trips. Everyone seems to share 3 things.... love of the tall ships, love of the ocean and an adventurous spirit. We always had fun but gave them up when we wanted more dive intense vacations. We were fortunate and managed to sail all their ships, several more than once. For more info than you ever wanted, look here......

Howdy and welcome to SB!
I quit going on WJ cruises when I started Scuba. I did one more with them, taking my basic kit - which had to lay in the hall for lack of space, and got 5 dives in a week.
