May–July 2027
The first season aboard.
After retiring and moving aboard La Belle Vie in spring 2027, we hope to begin full-time cruising by exploring the Eastern Caribbean, sharing time with friends and family, and gradually making our way south toward safer hurricane-season waters. This is a possible route—not a fixed itinerary—and every place along it is an invitation to imagine joining us.
Possible route
A southbound string of possibilities.
The sea, weather, boat projects, local advice, and the people we meet will all shape the journey. These are places we may visit, in a loose north-to-south progression.

Destination guides
A place to start imagining your visit.
Each island gets its own guide, because each one is genuinely different—some are for hiking, some for reefs, some for long dinners, and some for doing very little. Open Explore More on any card for the things to do, every one of which links to a YouTube search so you can go and see it for yourself. We will not reach all 20 of these, and that is fine.
Share the adventure
Thinking about joining us?
Look through the places we may visit and picture yourself somewhere along the route. One of the best parts of this next chapter will be sharing it with friends and family—whether that means a few days, a week, or simply finding the right island to meet us.
