Charter Yacht Catamaran Sagittarius
All Inclusive Caribbean Catamaran Sailing Vacations
Dominica voluntourism yacht charter adventure aboard Sailing Catamaran Sagittarius is an unforgettable, life experience. The tiny island country of Dominica has long been a mecca to adventure travelers. The island beckoned with rain and cloud forests, volcanic craters, lush, tropical surroundings, breathtaking beaches and spectacular dive sites. That is, until September 2017, when Category 5, Hurricane Maria changed the landscape. You, with family and frienda, can help restore the island and lend a hand to her people.

It's a thrilling sail to Dominica
Day 1 - Sail to Scotts Head in southern Dominica.
This is the start of the Waikubuli National Trail, which is currently being cleared and restored by volunteers. Spanning 115 miles from north to south, it was designed by the local community to link up remote villages. This is the only long-distance walking trail in the Caribbean. It is a treasure to locals, visiting nature lovers and international trekkers.
Dominica Voluntourism yacht charter participants work with the Forestry Division and the Waitukubuli National Trail Management Unit. Your charter party can assist with efforts to clear, restore and rehabilitate the trail.

You can help at all three project sites if you wish. Chart your course with Captain Piero aboard Catamaran Sagittarius. Chartering a private yacht means your itinerary is always flexible. Work

- Clear a segment of the Waikubuli National Trail
The Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT) connects National Parks, local communities, farm lands, forest reserves and coastal areas. It links the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO natural World Heritage Site. Dominica Voluntourism Yacht Charter participants who elect to work on the trail should be prepared to handle equipment. Your work may require a chain saw, cutlass, shovel, rake and wheel barrow, for clearing, pruning and in some cases planting.
