The Bahamas:
Not far from the US mainland, the Bahamas can be very busy during certain times. Find the perfect mix of up-market marinas, bustling towns and deserted bays with sleepy villages.
For bright lights and excitement added to your charter – head for Nassau for the bright lights and excitement or head to Abacos for peace and tranquility.Ideal for Catamaransailing with a shallow draft to explore the lagoons and bays.

The best time to go is anytime between end of November & June.

British Virgin Islands (BVI):
TORTOLA in the North is the main island while the most famous in the South side is VIRGIN GORDA. Transition between rugged mountains to hills thick with vegetation to tiny coves and bays dotted with sun-kissed beaches. A strikingly beautiful area and known as the MOST POPULAR CHARTER DESTINATION in the world.
The best time to go is anytime between May & September, but to miss the crowds February until April opens up the shoulder season, with ideal weather and minimal tourism activity.

Antigua and Barbuda
Boasting a complete mix of relaxed and busy, tradition and modernism. The local ambience of this area is outstanding.
Think Pirates of the Caribbean, lost treasures and famous architecture.

Barbuda itself, being a small coral island, is known for its wildlife and birds. Fantastic destination for wreck diving. Catamarans are best suited to the area due to the shallow areas and also easier for diving and exploring.

Best time to go – end of November to June

St Martin is half Dutch owned and half French owned. The Dutch side is boasts lazy and relaxed beaches. Small islands dot the area waiting to be explored.
The Best time to visit is May to September

Saint-Barthelemy (St Barths) is a small rocky outcrop of just 14 sq. miles and is a real jewel standing alone in a unique blend of style. Less than 40 years ago there was no electricity, cars or even water but now through tourism, with very strict controls, this area has developed into something very special and is a must visit.

 

The best time to visit is December to May  The shoulder season and regatta timing are the same as mentioned above
