⚓️ DEYC STAR CLIPPER CRUISE – BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS 2026
March 21–28, 2026 | 7 Nights aboard the Star Clipper
Dear DEYC Members,
Commodore Bob Ewing and I are exploring interest in a Down East Yacht Club group sailing aboard the magnificent Star Clipper next spring.
This unique tall-ship cruise offers a rare opportunity to explore the British Virgin Islands in classic nautical style — under full sail on a four-masted clipper carrying only 170 guests.
We have the option to reserve 25 cabins for DEYC members, but at this stage availability is limited and moving fast.
If you might like to join, please let us know by Friday so we can move forward and secure a group contract with travel specialist Jill Adams, who helped organize our successful 2022 Star Flyer voyage.

🌊 Life Aboard Star Clipper
Life aboard Star Clipper is relaxed, elegant, and blissfully nautical.
With just 170 guests, it feels like a private yacht — offering generous deck space, sea breezes, and a true sailing experience.
The ship features:
- Expansive teak decks and open spaces for sunning or stargazing
- Elegant dining room with open seating
- Two bars and a cozy library with a glowing fireplace
- Spacious cabins with marble-lined baths, showers, and convertible double/queen beds
- Television, in-house video, direct-dial phone, and hair dryer in every cabin
Every inch of Star Clipper reflects the proud heritage of traditional sailing blended with modern comfort.
