This cruise type is dedicated for the more adventurous persons or the ones who followed Alinghi challenge and would like to understand this wonderful passion of the skippers. The Caribbean region has two specific areas favourable to sailing cruises. Up North, the British Virgin Islands are considered the capital of sailing. Due to the short distance between the Islands, you can easily do 1 to 2 hours of sailing and already encounter a new island to explore. Every day, you discover something new and are always surrounded by land. This is best way to cruise on small ship for the first time as it’s quiet, and you won’t get bored, the scenery always changing in front of your eyes and you can also cruise this small area on board a motorized yacht.
The other area is located south of the Caribbean in another décor, the Grenadines. Its capital, St Vincent is the place where the majority of the small sailing cruises start their journey. The distance between the islands are longer, therefore there is more navigation involved but it is also the opportunity to get you completely surrounded by the immensity of the Caribbean Sea with its fabulous colours. You, your ship, and the sea, what a memorable moment! The Grenadines islands are also one of the last places in earth where nature is at its best and still protected; Tobago Cays is the perfect example to illustrate this.
For the sailing cruise, you can rent a monohull or catamaran with captain and hostess or, if you are skipper yourself, just rent the ship (bareboat). With the first option, you can rent them per cabin or the whole ship. It is advisable to do it with people you know (small group) or family due to the promiscuity. The sail boats have between 2 to 4 cabins (sometime more) and you rent them per week or occasionally per day. You also have to be aware of the water and electricity that is not unlimited on a ship. In the British Virgin Islands, we work with Vacances sous voiles (French crew) and North South Yacht Vacations and in the Grenadines with Barefoot Yacht Charters who also offers sailing courses. DSL Yachting is only rented to experienced skippers and sail from St Lucia.
