The Wellness on the Sea experience takes place aboard the sailboat Rio, a 43-foot Beneteau Cyclades with three cabins and three heads, departing Fort Lauderdale for the Bahamas with a professional crew. The onboard team teaches guests navigation skills, weather interpretation and practical sailing techniques, helping participants gain confidence on the water. The program emphasizes a whole-life, mind-body approach to wellness so guests learn habits and practices they can bring home. Meals are entirely plant-based and prepared under the guidance of a chef who brings decades of sailing and vegan culinary expertise to the table.
Beyond wellness instruction and culinary education, the itinerary showcases the natural highlights of the Caribbean. Guests often encounter dolphins in their natural habitat, snorkel above vibrant coral reefs among schools of colorful fish, practice meditation on deck while watching sunsets, and take yoga sessions on secluded beaches. The trip includes visits to nearly deserted islands in the Bahamas, offering quiet spots ideal for reflection, photography or simply soaking in unspoiled scenery.

Pricing for the seven-day vegan sailing charter begins at $5,500, which covers meals and drinks—an average of about $197 per person per day depending on group size. GetMyBoat also lists shorter options that accommodate different schedules and budgets. For example, a four-hour sailing experience starts at $600 and includes snacks and drinks, while an eight-hour day sail is available from $1,000 and typically includes two meals, snacks and beverages for up to four guests. Final rates vary based on group size, itinerary and seasonal demand.
To ensure proper preparation and provisioning, day cruises and sailing charters typically require five to seven days’ notice. Rio’s day cruises usually depart at sunrise from the boat’s dock and return after sunset. Weekend charters commonly begin late Thursday night or early Friday morning and conclude by Sunday or Monday evening, weather permitting.
In addition to Wellness on the Sea and its other curated eco-tours, GetMyBoat’s platform lists a wide range of water activities, including guided whale-watching trips, kayak and canoe rentals, scuba and snorkeling excursions, luxury yacht charters and more. Travelers can browse and book these experiences using GetMyBoat’s mobile app for iOS and Android, which provides access to listings, reviews and booking details for on-water adventures worldwide.
