Wind Surf, 660 feet, accommodates 312 passengers (double occupancy) offering fine dining and a high level of service on a modern sailing yacht. Windstar Cruises incorporates a 175 percent charge more than the double occupancy investment for persons traveling alone.
A typical Wind Surf itinerary is the seven-day round-trip cruise from Barbados to St. Lucia; Iles Des Saintes and St. Barthelemy, French West Indies; St. Martin and St. Kitts. Passengers are able to visit the ship's bridge (when out of port) because this ship is registered in The Bahamas and visit smaller ports in the Mediterranean and Caribbean because of the ship's size.
