Caribbean Sailing Vacations For Discerning Travellers

Have you done hotels to death? Sick of the same old room service menus, uninspired décor and being stuck in one place the whole time you're on vacation? Cruise ships may be the answer but you also have the issues of crowds, lack of privacy and an inflexible itinerary. The answer is Caribbean sailing vacations. Not only do you get the yacht or catamaran to yourself, but also you have an enthusiastic personal staff who will tend to your every need from food to activities and housekeeping. Your accommodation is part of the experience as it travels with you to exciting destinations throughout the region. Caribbean sailing vacations mean you can enjoy sailing without having to be experienced in its fine art, and you can simply relax and watch the seagulls fly overhead and the palm trees wave at you from the exotic shore.

Small or larger groups
There are vessels to cater for couples and larger ones that can accommodate parties of twelve or more. Celebrate a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or just get away from it all and either bring friends, or not. Either way, crews who offer a five star experience as you party day and night or snooze and cruise the entire time will amply indulge you. The rates will of course, depend on the kind of vessel you choose, the number of people in your party, your itinerary and the number of days for which you book. Caribbean sailing vacations are not inexpensive, but they serve a discerning market who enjoy privacy and the freedom to customize their vacation.

What to do
Your charter company will have a range of itineraries that you can choose from depending upon your preferences. Whether your passion is fishing, kayaking, scuba diving or snorkelling, you will be thrilled with the delights that nature serves up. Mingling with the aquatic life in a stunning coral paradise such as you will find on your Caribbean sailing vacation is sure to provide you with vivid memories to last a lifetime. Your crew will only too happily arrange shore visits for you, and will even pack a picnic lunch for you to enjoy on a deserted stretch of sandy beach. Their familiarity with the islands will be invaluable to you as you determine the kinds of sights you'd like to see and learn how to make the most of your precious vacation time. If you wish, your itinerary can include meeting up with a tour guide to show you around, or you can simply obtain the information you require for your own exploration.

Ports of call
Sail to all those places you've seen and heard of and see for yourself why they are so magical. Swim with dolphins in the British Virgin Islands; bring your camera along for a day of bird watching in Trinidad where you can scout for over 400 different species; marvel at the awesome clarity of the water in the Crystal Caves in Bermuda; or tee off on a spectacular golf course in the Bahamas. Caribbean sailing vacations mean you can see a magnificent part of the world in supreme comfort and let someone else do the driving! Anyone who charters a yacht in the Caribbean will be back for more, next vacation.
