St. Martin to Barbados Caribbean Expedition
Embark on an unforgettable Caribbean voyage exploring pristine beaches and coral reefs, island-hopping through diverse cultures, where the warmth of the locals will enhance your luxury yacht adventure.
For the 2nd year, KRC Expeditions brings our award-winning reputation and service to the world’s oceans and coastlines cruising on a brand-new luxury, innovative superyacht, custom-designed (unlike larger cruise ships) to allow unique access to fascinating ports and harbors that only small yachts can reach. Just like our world-renowned river cruises, you can expect the same fabulous kosher cuisine, exciting touring and adventures, meaningful onboard programming and exceptional service. This will make this luxury super yacht experience to one of the world’s most pristine natural wonders a once-in-a-life-time travel experience.
There is something for everyone on this expedition – from low impact to the more active guest. Our excursions consist of cultural and wildlife tours, guided hikes, kayaking, snorkeling, and canopy tours providing an alternative perspective on a location. For divers, an additional scuba program is now available at several of our ports of call (call us for details).

Explore the low-lying island of Anguilla, famed for its enticing white-sand beaches and coral reefs. Discover the brightly-colored houses and distinctive architecture in Gustavia. Admire the UNESCO World Heritage site of Nelson’s Dockyard in Falmouth Harbor, and swim in the tranquil waters of Îles des Saintes. Your Caribbean voyage concludes in Barbados, known for its magnificent beaches and vibrant culture.
The Sakara Superyacht: Reaching an impressive 110 meters in length, our spectacular new superyacht will exceed your yacht cruising expectations. And with an intimate (all-kosher) 100 guests on board, there’s an abundance of space throughout. Discover a secluded spot to read a book, enjoy unimpeded views of the unspoiled landscapes, take a relaxing dip in the infinity-style pool, or arrange to meet fellow guests at one of the numerous on-board lounges.
Unwind and relax in the on-board Wellness Centre, where a selection of indulgent spa treatments includes massages, facials, and salon services.

Gentle Walkers
We welcome guests with limited mobility, but want all guests to understand that challenges will exist both on board and during shore excursions. There are stairs between decks and our ships have an elevator. In addition, there are split-level decks and/or significant thresholds that can make movement difficult. Shore excursions are a mix of activities that require movement over uneven ground, with boat launches to and from our vessel. Therefore, a physically challenged guest will require the services of a responsible adult as crew members are not available or allowed to assist. Motorized scooters are typically not suited and cannot be used on-board.
Security: The safety of our passengers is something we take very seriously, and we consider it our most important responsibility. Our policy is to be in constant contact with local municipalities as to our arrival and departure at our various locations.
