Scupper

A Sunny Sunday on the Open Sea

Last Sunday was one of those idyllic days where the sea beckons with promises of adventure and tranquility. The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was an endless canvas of blue. It was the perfect day for a sailing trip with Captain Tim, the proud owner and captain of Sail Beluga, a private sailing boat charter known for creating unforgettable experiences on the water. But this trip was extra special, as it included the newest member of the crew: Scupper, a playful and curious little puppy just adopted by Captain Tim.

Scupper’s First Adventures on Beluga


Scupper, with his big eyes and boundless energy, was an instant hit with everyone on board. Despite being new to the sailing life, he quickly took to the catamaran Beluga’s deck. The gentle rocking of the boat and the fresh sea breeze seemed to enchant him. As we set sail, Scupper’s excitement was palpable, his tiny paws exploring every corner of the deck, his nose sniffing the salty air.

Captain Tim, an experienced sailor and boat builder with a heart of gold, kept a watchful eye on his new companion while expertly navigating the waters. It was heartwarming to see the bond between them. Scupper was already feeling at home on Beluga, confidently trotting around the deck as if he had been sailing his whole life.

Meeting Jojo the Dolphin


As we sailed towards Pine Cay, the water’s inviting clarity made it impossible to resist a snorkeling stop. We anchored in a serene spot, and the group eagerly donned their snorkeling gear. Beneath the surface, a vibrant underwater world awaited us. Colorful coral reefs teemed with marine life, providing a mesmerizing show of nature’s beauty.

But the highlight of our snorkeling adventure was an unexpected visitor – Jojo the dolphin. Known to frequent these waters, Jojo delighted us by following the boat for a short time, performing playful flips and swimming alongside us. His presence added a magical touch to an already perfect day, leaving everyone in awe of the wonders of the sea.

A Pristine Beach at Pine Cay


After our snorkeling adventure, we continued our journey to the pristine white sandy beaches of Pine Cay. The island, with its untouched beauty, felt like a slice of paradise. We anchored close to the shore, and everyone eagerly disembarked to explore the beach. Scupper, true to his adventurous spirit, was the first to dash across the soft sands, leaving tiny paw prints in his wake.

We spent the afternoon basking in the sun, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The tranquility of Pine Cay was the perfect backdrop for relaxing and making memories with friends.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the water, we sailed back to the harbor with hearts full of joy and a sense of contentment. The combination of perfect weather, the thrill of snorkeling, the surprise visit from Jojo the dolphin, and the serene beauty of Pine Cay made for an unforgettable day.

Scooper the puppy

Scupper, now a seasoned sailor, curled up contentedly at Captain Tim’s feet, dreaming of future adventures on the open sea. And we, too, looked forward to many more sailing trips with friends on Beluga.
