The waters are sheltered and the islands lie close together. That is what defines the Virgin Islands, regarded as one of the most famous sailing areas. Tortola is a kind of hub for Caribbean yacht vacations and is quite large. Far to the northeast lies Puerto Rico, which is perfect for beginners who just want to look around.
A visit to the unique granite rock formations of The Baths on Virgin Gorda is a must, because this is where you'll come across grottos and natural pools.
And of course there's more. Examples include:

  • Norman Island
  • Jost Van Dyke
  • Anegada

So there is plenty to experience and see.

Martinique - A Cultural Melting Pot Shaped by Europe

If you'd like to experience a bit of home on your Caribbean yacht vacation, this mountainous island of volcanic origin is just right for you. Martinique offers more than a blend of French-Creole cuisine and culture, because European visitors benefit from it. Direct flights from Paris are possible, and French is even spoken there. The west side of the island is ideal for sailing charters, where wind and water are somewhat calmer. You can set out from there by yacht without it turning into violent storms.
Excursions are just as varied, both on land and in the water. There are always options you can take advantage of. You won't forget a yacht vacation there anytime soon, because there is so much to discover and experience all around the island.
You're sure not to get bored there.
