Yacht Charters Winward Islands

The Windward islands are at the southern end of the arc of Caribbean islands and they stretch from Martinique to Grenada.

The four largest islands of Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent and Granada, are lush and typically tropical with high mountain tops often hidden in the clouds clad in dense green vegetation. For those who like to hike, the tropical rain forests are easily accessible.

The Grenadines lie between St Lucia and Granada. They are a host of smaller islands, some with hills and one or two just a reef-circled, sandy island with not much more than a palm tree. They tend to be drier than the larger mountainous islands with long stretches of white sand beaches (where you'll rarely see another footprint), brilliant turquoise crystal clear waters and spectacular reefs. The underwater visibility is amazing and sponges, colourful tropical fish and great strands of elkhorn coral are not uncommon.

The Windward chain of islands are a beautiful chartering area. They offer a mix of longer and shorter sailing passages through some stunning islands with beautiful deserted bays and beaches. This is a region where much is hardly touched by modern resort tourism.

Yach Charters Caribbean

The cruising islands of the Caribbean form a fantastic arc from St Thomas to Trinidad. They are traditionally described as the Leeward Islands in the north and the Windwards in the south.
This string of volcanic and coral islands are surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters, cooled by constant easterly trade winds and filled with colour. They provide a unique variety of island scenery and offer in different ways something for everyone. From spectacular tropical forest hillsides and waterfalls, excellent diving and snorkeling with corals and colourful fish, safe swimming, white sand beaches, historic forts, sleepy villages and bustling markets, bars, fashionable restaurants and shopping and an easy going lifestyle, the list could go on for ever. Seldom too hot, never cold, they offer beautiful scenery and some of the best sailing in the world.
While they are typically only a few hours sailing from one another, they represent a range of island nations with diverse cultures, geography and often language too, having been influenced over the centuries by the British, French, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Americans and others. For chartering the Caribbean offers three distinct areas:
