    There’s laid-back — and then there’s sailing the Belizean coast. This six-day island-hopping escape kicks off in Caye Caulker before heading out to sea for three unforgettable days on the water.

With fresh seafood, golden sunsets, and that slow island rhythm, this trip is pure off-the-grid bliss. No filters needed — just good vibes, salt air, and stories you’ll be telling for years.
