About Crewed Sailing Yacht THE BLUE PETER
THE BLUE PETER is a W. King Sons Classic built in 1930 and meticulously restored to original specifications. This elegant sailing vessel accommodates up to 12 guests across four cabins, making her ideal for intimate groups seeking authentic Caribbean sailing rather than modern mega-yacht excess. Her extensive teak decks provide unobstructed sightlines across the Leeward Islands' turquoise waters.
Your captain is Matt, a multi-regatta champion (Voiles de St Tropez among his victories) who brings decades of competitive sailing knowledge to every charter. Whether you wish to participate in regional regattas, compete in a private team race against fellow classic yachts, or simply cruise, his expertise elevates the experience from pleasant to memorable.
The yacht's condition reflects her pedigree. Maintained to the highest standards, she combines the romance of classical sailing with the reliability expected of a premium charter. Accommodation spans one double, two twin, and one single cabin, each thoughtfully appointed for multi-day voyages.

The Charter Experience
Cruising the Leeward Islands and Virgin Islands, you'll discover anchorages inaccessible to larger vessels. Glide into English Harbour, St Barths, and St Martin, experiencing coastal villages and reef-protected bays where THE BLUE PETER's shallow draft and classic rigging prove invaluable. The Caribbean regatta season offers authentic competition opportunities; off-season charters provide leisurely exploration of the archipelago's hidden coves and pristine waters.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin in English Harbour, Antigua, progressing through Barbuda's deserted beaches and reefs before island-hopping to Nevis and St Barths. Alternatively, venture into the Virgin Islands for calm, protected waters and white-sand anchorages. Evening sundowners on deck become ritual; mornings offer swimming, snorkelling, and genuine sailing rather than motoring.
