The full review

Not every itinerary has room for two nights on a boat. If yours has one, Prima still lets you sleep on the water without missing the main sights, because they all happen on the first day.

With twelve guests at most it feels closer to a private charter than a group tour, which suits families, couples and small groups of friends. It is also one of the few overnight sails that takes children from four.

The limit is time. One night gives you less beach and reef than the two-night trips, so if your schedule allows it, Prosail or Atlantic Clipper give you a full extra day.
