Sailing Charters in the Caribbean: Discover Paradise!

There is possibly nothing more relaxing than sailing in the Caribbean, in many ways, a sailor’s Mecca. This piece of paradise has all of the ingredients for a perfect sailing charter – consistent winds, gorgeous islands, destinations varying from posh hotels to deserted beaches, shipwrecks, beach party towns, and a pace and charm that perfectly fits sailing. In fact, nearly the entire economy is devoted to sailing, and charterers meet people from all over the world of like mind and spirit.

As well, sailing charters are environmentally friendy and often less expensive than chartering motor yachts.

So, if you're looking for a great vacation option this year, consider a crewed sailing charter in the Caribbean.

Happy Sailing!

Crewed Cats:

Catamaran Charters are our fastest growing type of charter, and for good reason. They combine the thrill and teamwork of sailing with comfort, privacy and great social spaces. Key benefits of a catamaran are:

    - Great views from the spacious Salon
    - Excellent sun decks for easier, more comfortable lounging on deck
    - Fewer stairs and less separation between the cockpit and the galley
    - Reduced seasickness (cats don't roll as much as a monohull)
    - More private sleeping quarters (cabins are separated from each other in the hulls)
    - Easier to navigate in shallow water
    - A feeling of being "on top of the world" when in the Salon
