Naveron Posted January 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I will be taking my first trip on the Wind Surf in March on the Yachtsman Caribbean cruise. I am interested in learning how the platform is deployed and how it can be used. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6rugrats Posted January 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) When the ship is anchored, and the weather conditions are good, the sport platform is open. Edited January 21, 2017 by 6rugrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcruiseanythyme Posted January 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2017 They will put out large mats that are tied together and you can lay on them. Sent from my SM-G925V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezer248 Posted January 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We have traveled twice with Windstar- once on the Windsurf and once on the Star Legend. They will open up the Marina when the ship is at anchor ( in a quite port) and the conditions are ok. Swells were too big to open it more than once on our last trip. They will take you waterskiing, there are kayaks and paddle boards, or you can simply lounge on the blue rafts or trampoline. It is a fun, unique benefit of these ships. Windstar is great!

Naveron Posted January 22, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks all! It looks like fun. I hope I get a chance to experience it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Paradise Posted February 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Do they have a Hobie Cat and a Sunfish too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Morning Posted February 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sal Paradise, They have one very small catamaran for 2 at most. I think they may also have a sunfish but not sure. They have paddle boards, kayaks (single and double) and they do waterski and wake boarding rides as well tubing rides for those less adventurous? On our Legend cruise last week, they had the marina open 3 days plus they brought the toys to the beach on the day of the beach BBQ. They will also supply snorkelling gear for the week if you need.

adomatic Posted January 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 18, 2018 There was one sailboat on the Wind Surf. It looked like a Sunfish. There were 4 SUP and 3-4 kayaks. The watersports platform was open every day we were tendered but there were some days that they didn't take out the kayaks, SUP and boats because of the currents. Also, the hours in the daily program might not be accurate. They closed a full hour earlier one day saying the program was mistaken. It was a blast! Enjoy!
