Caribbean Yacht Charters

For a romantic getaway, for honeymoons or anniversaries traveling through the beautiful Caribbean aboard one of the many Caribbean Yacht Charters available would not only be exciting but relaxing as well. These Caribbean Yacht Charters are perfect for couples, for groups of friends and families, and particularly for those who love water-sports, scuba diving, exploring tropical islands and sun bathing.

The Caribbean islands are only a few hours sailing from one to another aboard Caribbean yacht charters. They are comprised of a range of nations each with their own unique cultures and often differing languages. The Caribbean is made up of a string of volcanic and coral islands with beautiful crystal clear waters.

Caribbean yacht charters provide activities to satisfy everyone, from diving and snorkeling, to shopping and exploring historic villages. Each island has its own flavor with villages that have bustling markets, bars and gourmet restaurants. The weather is almost always perfect, never too hot or too cold.

Aboard Caribbean yacht charters travelers can visit three very different and unique areas: The Virgin Islands, the Leeward Islands, and the Windward Islands.

The Virgin Islands are located just east of Puerto Rico between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean seas. The islands were named the Virgin Islands by Christopher Columbus and are made up of 60 primarily volcanic islands with beautiful green and tropical landscapes.

This beautiful island chain includes the US Virgin Islands (USVI) among which are the larger islands of St Thomas, St John and St Croix. The British Virgin Islands (BVI’s) make up the rest of the islands which are slightly less developed. This island group of islands is a common destination for most Caribbean Yacht Charters.

The Leeward Island chain offers cruising in open sea conditions going from St Martin in the north, to Antigua in the middle, on to Dominica in the south. These longer cruises between islands in open sea conditions provides for one of the best sailing adventures in the world.

 At the southern end of the Caribbean islands are the Windward Islands which stretch from Martinique to Grenada. Caribbean Yacht Charters to one of the four largest islands of Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent and Granada, offer tropical views of high mountain tops with thick jungle like growth and scattered clouds. These islands are ideal for those who like to hike mountain peaks. There are plenty of deserted bays and white sandy beaches to explore.

A two week Caribbean yacht charter is recommended to visit the entire Windward chain, and in just one week it's best to attempt no more than the Grenadines. They are comprised of a host of smaller islands that lie between St Lucia and Granada. With its clear waters and tropical fish this is a must see destination.

Caribbean yacht charters offer vacation memories of stunning islands and crystal clear waters full of marine life, coral reefs and beaches with protected cruising conditions and safe swimming and snorkeling. International air connections provide easy access to quite possibly the most popular cruising area in the world.
