Exploring the Unknown, a Luxury Yacht Charter around Vieques, Part II

Following on from our recent post on exploring the relatively unknown Spanish Virgin Islands of Vieques and Culebra, this addition seeks to demonstrate a few more reasons why you should try this gorgeous destination for your next vacation. We have already seen that Vieques has one of the best bioluminescent bays in the world, but what else does this small island have to offer? If you’re are interested in looking for your very own private beach, Vieques is the island for you.

 

To the west of the typical Caribbean town of Esperanza, you will find a stretch of beaches that would make the perfect postcard. The beaches at Sun Bay provide guests with white sandy beaches, excellent snorkelling conditions and if you’re lucky, you will have the opportunity to see one of the islands wild horses. However, we thought that the beaches past Navio in the National Reserve were some of the best on the island. Take a luxury picnic down to Caracas Beach and spend all afternoon soaking up the Caribbean rays!

If you prefer to

keep active on your vacation and think of yourself as an explorer, Vieques has so much to offer. From the old sugar mills to the forests which stretch into the former military areas, you are bound to find a host of exciting wildlife and walking trails which will fascinate you for hours. Why not head down to the Vieques’ version of Stonehenge and see the islands most famous archaeological site. The site is located opposite Sun Bay and was the source of a corpse which is said to be around 4000 years old!
There is so much on this majestic island to keep you intrigued and fascinated for days and makes a great stop on your charter around the Caribbean. If you are looking for a vacation that includes fantastic weather, beaches, snorkelling and history, you really should try Puerto Rico. We recommend flying into San Juan and exploring the forts of Old San Juan.Vieques-has-something-to-offer-everyone Then you can head down to the eastern coastal town of Fajardo and pick up a stunning monohull or catamaran for your charters around Vieques, Culebra and beyond.

Chartering a Luxury Yacht in Fajardo, Part I

Fajardo was first founded in 1760 and was one of the locations used by the Americans to invade Puerto Rico. Nowadays, it is the home of all recreational boating activities in Puerto Rico and is the gateway to the stunning Culebra, Vieques and both the American and Brisith Virgin Islands. Located on the eastern coast, Fajardo is home to the largest marina in the Caribbean (Puerto Del Rey), as well as some of the most impressive bio-luminescent bays and diving hotspots. Puerto Rico may not be an obvious choice as your next vacation destination, but with such close proximity to the United States and daily flights, the island has a lot going for it.

Fajardo’s beaches are some of the best around, which are bounded by calm and clear waters, making this an ideal destination for snorkeling, sailing and scuba diving. It is a destination which is becoming increasingly popular with both local and international tourists, thanks to the local seafood and the close proximity to the Vieques and Culebra. These two islands are located between Fajardo and St Thomas and provide the perfect place to explore, especially on a luxury yacht charter.

One of the best ways to explore this area is by catamaran and one of our favourites is this Lagoon 400, accommodating up to 10 guests in 4 cabins. Combining both luxury, practicality and comfort, the Lagoon catamaran is synonymous with being one of the leading catamarans available on the charter market. She is available for both bareboat and skippered charters, depending on your skill level and preferences.
