Destinations of Sailing Trips

Tortola and the British Virgin Islands

Located in the northeastern Caribbean, The British Virgin Islands are known for their beauty and calm waters. A multitude of excellent anchorages and idyllic islands make the BVI one of the best locations for Caribbean sailing vacations. Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, is the most developed, however, it remains charmingly reminiscent of the West Indies' past: a quiet, colonial atmosphere. The BVI (British Virgin Islands) have made yacht chartering one of their main industries and we are very proud to be able to offer our catamaran sailing vacations in this island hot spot.

Our crewed catamarans also take guests on excursions Virgin Gorda, the second largest island, which is famous for "The Baths'', which have been described by many as the Eighth Wonder of the World. The site is characterized by huge boulders and crystal blue water with a sparkling white-sand beach. Other island stops on this BVI yacht charter include Jost Van Dyke, home to the famous Foxy's and Soggy Dollar Bar, Anegada, which is a very popular location for many sailing charter companies, Peter Island, and Norman Island, where snorkelers and divers can explore the famous underwater caves as a highlight to their sailing vacation.

St Maartin, West Indies

In the north of the Caribbean's Lesser Antilles chain lays St. Maarten / Saint Martin, a small territory shared by two cultures, two countries, and thousands of tourists each year. The European capital of the Caribbean, delightfully Dutch and fantastically French, this tiny island of just 36 sq. miles is the smallest country shared by two nations. Good winds and moderate seas make for superb sailing and exhilarating open water cruising. Enjoy a relaxing sailing vacation aboard our crewed yacht and discover dozens of sparkling, secluded beaches, while toasting the sunset in one memorable anchorage after another. Aboard our charter you'll visit the beautiful island of St. Barts, an island of high fashion and haute cuisine. For a complete change of pace, we'll sail to Anguilla and give you a chance to experience the Caribbean at its unspoiled best. This pristine island, with its charming villages and stretches of powdery white beach, has a great selection of excellent restaurants. You'll also explore the deserted islands of Prickly Pear Cays, with their dazzling beaches and incomparable snorkeling. St. Maarten is the perfect place for your next sailing vacation.

The Grenadines

The 30 islands and cays that comprise the Grenadines are among the most popular Caribbean sailing destinations for the rich and famous, but are off the beaten path for most other visitors. They shouldn't be.

The Grenadines are a pristine Caribbean paradise. There are exceptional white-sand beaches on virtually all the Grenadines isles and crystal-clear waters offer first-rate diving and snorkeling among world-class coral reefs. Fewer than a dozen of the islands are inhabited, and even those are  are lightly populated.

Diving enthusiasts will find colorful sponges, soft corals, great stands of elkhorn coral, and a few sunken wrecks. Snorkelers will love Owia Bay, in the northeastern corner of St Vincent,  Lower Bay, at the southern end of Admiralty Bay on Bequia and Canouan, midway in the Grenadine chain. And everyone will enjoy unspoiled beaches and post-card perfect Caribbean islands.Sail the Grenadines on one of our luxury crewed catamarans and let all your cares slip away!

 

Bahamas

The Abacos are a group of islands and cays forming a boomerang-shaped chain which stretches nearly 130 miles from Walker's Cay in the north to Hole-In-The-Wall in the south. The configuration creates naturally protected waters referred to commonly as the Sea of Abaco. The abundance of reefs and clear, crystal blue waters make for a favorite cruising ground for yachtsmen and an ideal location for seeing a wide variety of beautiful marine life. Easy air access from anywhere in North America makes this "the Caribbean that's close to home." From all corners of the world visitors come to find warm sun, the most beautiful sailing waters and soft with sand beaches.

The sheltered harbors of the Abacos create a haven for us as we explore all the activities offered by this beautiful region. Colonial towns are gems of New England architecture and the ecosystem provides a rich outdoor experience for nature lovers.
