Sailing Schooner Liberty Clipper to Eluthera Bahamas

We sailed on the schooner Liberty Clipper, a tall ship, two masted Schooner. This video concentrates on setting sails and has some delicious drone footage as we go to Eluthera from Nassau in the Bahamas

Nice! We got to spend a week on Heritage, a schooner that sails the Penobscot Bay, in Maine, back in 2019. It was fabulous! Thanks for your video!

Great Video! Me and my wife took a cruse with Liberty Clipper in March. It was awesome. The week we went they had a couple of new crew members, one young man it was his first week. I'm glad to they were still on board.

We sailed on the Liberty Clipper in 2019; it was a fabulous experience.

I was first mate on a sail training Tallship for 9 years and what you call the mate going aloft on the main mast was the very worst thing you can do. You go up always on the windward said. So you can not blowing off. Yes I know it was very calm and yes I have done it myself but only to fix things haft way up.

good observation!

about 2 years ago there were several comments (TripAdvisor) about some foul smells below decks. i trust that issue has been fixed/resolved?

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Since you mentioned it.... I almost did a video about all of the really terrible parts of this trip but held off. The boat was not in brilliant condition. We had an engineer on board and he was the hardest working member of the crew. When we first arrived to check in and get a Captain's meeting, we were informed that several cabins down below had bed bugs. they had been sprayed for but they couldn't guarantee that they might not be a problem going forward. We were advised that we could abandon the cruise and get a refund if we so chose. That however would have meant that we were stuck in Nassau for a week with no hotel reservations, etc. We went on the cruise. Along about day 3, the plumbing broke severely and the toilets failed. I feel sure that some of it emptied into the bilge. So, to your comment, yes, it smelled, and smelled bad. While the heads were out of order, We had to use a 5 gallon bucket for half a day until they got it fixed. The dinghy that they used to go ashore was an inflatable and one side had a serious leak and although they tried to patch it, they couldn't fix it. They managed to use it by tying bumpers to that side in order to keep it afloat, but even so, it had a bad list. On the last day, it was so bad that we couldn't go ashore for a planned activity. There was quite a bit more that was less than expected. I loved the places we got to go and I loved how the boat sailed. For all of that I liked the trip. Sadly, I won't ever plan a trip with this company, ever again. My wife would be quite a bit more harsh in her review than I have been here. I have told people that we got to sail on a traditional sailing schooner and pretty much got a 19th century experience.

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Thanks for the reply. Enjoyed trips on Liberty Clipper in 2017/18/19 but thanks to your comments I won't be back any time soon. On our last trip in 2019, we made it all the way to Staniel Cay in the Exumas. An important destination as the shipboard ice maker had failed (repair part not available ). i hope never to see an island with pigs ever again. Fat chance, as some bright sparkin the nassau government has decided that these animals bring tourist dollars. So there are designated pig islands in each chain of islands now. Very sorry for No-Name in the Abacos, a former picnic island, now fouled all over with pig feces.
