We first visited in 1998 doing a back-to-back Wind Jammer cruises out of St. Martin. Between cruises, we had a very enjoyable 3 days on the island, remailing on the ship. After 2007, we did lots of sailing with Wind Jammer, mostly the 13 days trips from Antigua to Grenada and were very happy with that. First real trip to the island was in 2007, the year WJ spectacularly failed due to financial malfeasance, and since we liked SXM and GCBC so much, that became our go-to place every year, aside for 2017 and 2020.
