Leeward Islands sailing - an unique experience
The most popular grouping of islands in the Leewards includes St. Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla. Offering its guests a combination of azure waters, sunny climate, Caribbean charm, and splendid beaches, these islands have become a popular destination for yachtsmen. While the islands offer passages in sight of land, their conditions are definitely more challenging than those of their neighbors to the northwest, the Virgin Islands. At one time just getting to these tropical islands was an adventure. But now, the adventure can start on arrival with either a sailing vacation or yacht charter. Whether you are sailing on a catamaran or monohull, or cruising in a large motor yacht, there is plenty to explore under the sea, on the coasts, in the rainforests of the mountain interiors, and around the streets of their tiny capitals. With varied histories, nationalities, cultures and cuisines, each island has a character of its own. Experience the delightful Dutch, proper English or French chic all mixed with a touch of African influence. Whether you choose to engage in the nightlife of discos, gambling, gourmet dining, relaxing on quiet beaches, hiking nature trails or dining barefoot, the Leeward Islands are the perfect place to escape! The surrounding warm turquoise blue waters provide perfect conditions for your sailing vacation or yacht charter. All kinds of water sports are available, including some of the world’s best diving and snorkeling. With magnificent luxury yachts in the harbor and Parisian chefs in the restaurants, St. Barth is a Caribbean St. Tropez. Thanks to stringent building regulations that have restricted development, St. Barth has not become a destination for mass tourism. With little to do but shop, soak up the sun and eat sumptuous meals at night, St. Barth is the ultimate paradise getaway for millionaires or those with a self-pampering mindset. St. Barth is particularly popular with the luxury yacht set due in part to its location – midway between the major sailing centers of Antigua and the Virgin Islands- and in part to its own natural beauty. Its popularity with the luxury yacht jetsetters reaches a crescendo around New Years when a hundred super yachts are in port. There are several yachting events to consider when booking your luxury yacht charter. The St. Barth’s Regatta, the St. Barth’s Cup and the International Regatta are all racing events scheduled in April and May. The St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta, held in early April, is of particular note for the wealthy yachtsman. The Bucket Regatta is a gentlemanly yacht race for luxury yachts over 100 feet in length. The race is a rare chance for larger yachts – both private and charter, to gather together around a beautiful race course in a good-natured test of speed and skills. Each of these regattas offers a spectacular sight for both seafarers and landlubbers.
