Carribean Sailing

With so many islands, sailing Carribean waterways is a great way to see the lovely ports and beaches. You can rent a boat yourself or charter a Carribean sailing tour to the destination of your choice. A Carribean sailing vacation can also include a cruise on a large yacht stopping in the small hidden cayes and islets that major cruise lines don’t go to.

One of the best things about going on a Carribean sailing holiday is that you will have the freedom to explore the secret bays and islands at your own pace. By sailing from one place to another on a yacht or cruiser, you can enjoy great accommodation onboard your own boat, and either have the services of a crew who can sail the boat for you, leaving you to enjoy the sun and sea, or alternatively, if you are appropriately qualified, take command of the boat yourself, and plot your own course through the islands.

When you go on a Carribean sailing holiday, you have the chance to enjoy the true character of the region. You can get away from the main tourist resorts, and find the smaller fishing villages where the welcome is warm, and the beaches are less crowded.

With the fantastic weather, and calm waters of the Carribean to rock you to sleep at night, there are few holiday options that are quite as relaxing as sailing at your own pace. With the crystal clear ocean around you, and the opportunity to visit a different white sandy beach every day of your vacation.

If you charter a boat with a crew, you will be able to lie back on deck, and sunbathe during the day, while your captain takes you on a private cruise to see the highlights of the Carribean. Visit a different island every day, sailing the narrow channels that divide the main island groups in order to get a taste of all the different cultures of the region.

One of the greatest advantages of a Carribean sailing holiday rather than a cruise is that you can change your plans as you go, and have the entire trip tailored to your own ideas of what you want to see, rather than relying on doing things around the rather structured plans of a mass market tour.

Although a Carribean sailing holiday may well work out to be a lot more expensive than a cruise or a stay on land - especially if you charter a luxurious yacht, the chance to relax completely and enjoy the best weather, the sights, and the luxury of having time that is truly yours is priceless.
