Caribbean
Trade-wind sailing through turquoise waters. The BVI, Grenadines, Antigua, and the Bahamas offer some of the world's most accessible and spectacular cruising grounds.
Cruising areas in Caribbean
Charter destinations(20)
Abacos
๐ง๐ธBahamas
The northern Bahamas' sheltered cruising ground: the Sea of Abaco, protected by a chain of barrier cays, with the colourful colonial settlement of Hope Town and the recovering landscape of post-Dorian recovery.
Anegada
๐ป๐ฌBritish Virgin Islands
The BVI's flat coral outlier, 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda, where the reef navigation is the challenge and the lobster dinner on the beach is the reward.
Anguilla
๐ฆ๐ฎAnguilla
A low coral island eight miles north of Sint Maarten, known for beaches that rival any in the Caribbean and a quiet luxury that does not rely on a yacht club or marina culture.
Antigua
๐ฆ๐ฌAntigua and Barbuda
English Harbour, Antigua Sailing Week, and 365 beaches: a Leeward Islands charter base with deep racing heritage and a south coast of reef-sheltered anchorages.
Berry Islands
๐ง๐ธBahamas
Thirty mostly uninhabited cays between Nassau and the Abacos, quieter and less visited than the Exumas, with bonefishing flats, reef diving, and a pace set by the tide.
Cuba
๐จ๐บCuba
Caribbean sailing's frontier market: the southern cays of Cayo Largo and Jardines de la Reina offer pristine reef diving, while Havana provides the cultural counterpoint.
Dominican Republic (Samana)
๐ฉ๐ดDominican Republic
The Bahia de Samana on the Dominican Republic's north-east coast, where humpback whales calve from January to March and the palm-lined bay provides a Caribbean anchorage with a distinct Dominican character.
Exumas
๐ง๐ธBahamas
A chain of 365 cays stretching 130 miles through the central Bahamas, with swimming pigs, nurse sharks, and shallow-water sailing over white sand that demands vigilant pilotage.
Grenada
๐ฌ๐ฉGrenada
The spice island at the southern end of the Windwards, below the main hurricane belt, with a longer charter season and a west coast of sheltered bays perfect for unhurried sailing.
Guadeloupe
๐ฌ๐ตGuadeloupe
The butterfly-shaped French department in the Leewards, with the volcanic peak of La Soufriere, the colonial charm of Les Saintes, and a Creole kitchen that elevates the charter provisioning.
Martinique
๐ฒ๐ถMartinique
The Windward Islands' busiest charter base, centred on Le Marin's vast marina, with French Caribbean provisioning and direct passages south to St Lucia and the Grenadines.
Saint Martin / Sint Maarten
๐ซ๐ทSaint Martin
A dual-nation island split between France and the Netherlands, serving as the Leeward Islands' central charter hub with Anguilla, St Barths, and Saba within day-sail reach.
St Barths
๐ซ๐ทSaint Barthelemy
The Caribbean's French luxury outpost: Gustavia's harbour, a cuisine scene disproportionate to the island's size, and a social anchorage where charter yachts and superyachts share the same quay.
St Croix
๐ป๐ฎUnited States Virgin Islands
The USVI's southern outpost, separated from St Thomas by 40 miles of open water, with wall diving at Buck Island and a quieter charter scene than the main Virgin Islands.
St Lucia
๐ฑ๐จSaint Lucia
The twin volcanic cones of the Pitons anchor the Caribbean's most dramatic anchorage, with Rodney Bay at the north end providing the charter base and marina facilities.
St Thomas & St John
๐ป๐ฎUnited States Virgin Islands
The US-flagged gateway to Virgin Islands sailing, with easy provisioning in Charlotte Amalie and the national park anchorages of St John across the channel.
St Vincent & the Grenadines
๐ป๐จSaint Vincent and the Grenadines
The Grenadine chain from Bequia to Carriacou โ a string of small islands in the trade winds where each anchorage has its own character and the sailing between them is the point.
Tobago Cays
๐ป๐จSaint Vincent and the Grenadines
A cluster of five uninhabited islands inside a horseshoe reef in the southern Grenadines, where the turtle snorkelling and reef anchoring define the Caribbean charter experience.
Tortola & the BVI
๐ป๐ฌBritish Virgin Islands
The world's most-chartered cruising ground: the Sir Francis Drake Channel between Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and a dozen smaller islands, with trade winds and protected water.
Virgin Gorda & the Baths
๐ป๐ฌBritish Virgin Islands
The BVI's eastern anchor: the granite boulder formations at the Baths, the sheltered lagoon of North Sound, and a quieter pace than Tortola's charter hub.
