The Bahamas is the magical kingdom of cruising destinations and comprises 700 islands and nearly 2,500 cays. From the Abacos to the Exumas the fishing, the diving and, above all, the aquamarine waters are breathtaking. Solitude, nightlife, fine food, deserted beaches and perfect anchorages… the Bahamas really does have it all and provides the perfect combination of lively fun and relaxed charm. Each island group has a distinct personality, from the glitz, casinos and resorts in New Providence and Grand Bahama, to the peaceful, unspoilt cays of the outer islands.
The US and British Virgin Islands are a
yachtsman’s paradise brimming with unspoilt beaches, coves and sheltered
anchorages. Providing
countless opportunities for recreation in breathtaking, largely untouched
natural surroundings, the islands of the archipelago are circled with
shimmering blue waters and coral reefs offering superior cruising,
fishing, diving and snorkeling. Combine
a charter around the idyllic shores of the British Virgin Islands
with the sophisticated and buzzing US Virgin Islands.
The fashionable Leeward Islands, discovered
by Columbus, are the next link in the Caribbean chain.
Ideal for island hopping from tiny deserted cays to fashionable
harbours, the Leewards provide the ultimate soporific island
lifestyle. The lively
French/Dutch island of St.Martin/St.Maarten provides fashionable
boutiques and good restaurants. The
small island of Anguilla (British) offers over 30 glorious white
beaches, considered by many to be the best in the Caribbean.
Aptly described as a piece of France under the Caribbean sun, the
barefoot-chic island of St.Barthélémy
(St.Barts) offers French sophistication and cuisine.
The small island of Nevis (British) is a reminder of the West
Indies as they used to be, and Antigua (British) has warm steady
trade winds, safe harbours and 365 beaches, with an abundance of history.
The diverse histories and varied nationalities, cultures and
cuisines make this island chain a microcosm of the world.
Strewn down the eastern waters of the Caribbean, the Windward Islands stretch from Martinique, St.Lucia, St.Vincent and Barbados to the Grenadines and Grenada in the south. Martinique and St.Lucia in the north have an interesting mixture of French and British heritage. Further down the island chain, St.Vincent and the Grenadines consist of 32 enchanting islands and cays strung out over 98km of strikingly blue sea, each one a short hop from the next. The Grenadines are replete with rainforests, spice plantations and irresistible white beaches. Southernmost of the Windward Islands and named the spice island, Grenada is one of the more sleepy Caribbean islands.
