Making the decision to buy Good Expectation was easy once we went for a sail!


Laidback Sailing at its best aboard Good Expectation.

OK one thing to understand about Carriacou Sloops is that they are working boats, hand made with rough and ready hand tools on the beach, crafted with love and passion for a hard working life on the Caribbean Sea.



Good Expectation's previous owner undertook a wholescale renovation of her in 2008, but circumstances transpired which meant he was unable to keep up her maintenance over the past three years & the harsh tropical climate  has taken its toll above and below the waterline.




But under the peeling paint and odd bit of rotten deck, she is still a beauty with bundles of character...


The great thing about these hardy vessels though is that with the right local shipwright they can be quickly brought back to good working order. So watch this space...
