Shift your summer into overdrive with a 20-day journey of a lifetime aboard our schooner Ocean Star. Your adventure begins in the British Virgin Islands where you'll discover why the Caribbean is a diver's and sailor's paradise. Dip beneath her aquamarine waters and meet marine life of every shape and shade while completing PADI scuba certifications. Explore above the surface and find lush islands, ancient volcanoes, and white sand beaches. Sail the legendary blue-green waves and take in jade mountains against iridescent sunrises and sunsets. Each of the 25 islands within the Leeward Islands offers a distinct cultural and geographic backdrop, so you'll sail throughout the island chain—visiting Saba, St. Eustatius, Nevis, Antigua, St. Barts, and the British Virgin Islands.

A once in a lifetime experience
by: Lucia Carroll - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Caribbean Summer - 20 DaysBeing on Seamester was such an amazing experience in so many ways. From learning how to scuba dive to being completely under sail for the first time, I was able to learn so many new things and fall in love with boat life. The community was one of the best parts of the trip. Since we all are with each other pretty much 24/7 it’s easy to create really close relationships. Overall, the trip was amazing, the only thing I wish that was different was that I chose a longer trip
The best 3 weeks of my Life
by: Aidan Mosley - United StatesProgram: Seamester: Caribbean Summer - 20 DaysSeamester provided me with the best 3 weeks of my life. From the moment I stepped aboard I felt an instant connection to my crew and the staff. Throughout the 3 weeks aboard I gained a new family that I will never forget. Together we sailed to foreign shores, dove to immense depths, laughed, sang, learned and created memories a of a lifetime. The staff were incredible and knowledgeable. The places you go are nothing short of amazing, but the people you meet and the things you learn are truly the...
Amazing Adventure!
by: Skylar Roberts-Potter - CanadaProgram: Seamester: Caribbean Summer - 20 DaysIt was a really great program and I got to have so many new experiences and everyone got along so well.

I think the friendships ma...
