Ever since Christopher Columbus landed on the Caribbean in the fifteenth century, these glorious islands have been ardently fought over across the centuries, and with good reason. With its gleaming white sand beaches and shimmering azure waters, verdant rainforest, warm winds and year-round sunshine, the Caribbean is a true yachting idyll with something to delight explorers of all ages and tastes.

With calm lagoons and schools of tropical fish dancing beneath the surface, the Caribbean is a divers’ and snorkelers’ paradise, offering dozens of captivating wrecks and vibrant reefs to explore, flourishing with colourful marine life Easterly trade winds and plenty of line-of- sight sailing make for pleasant travelling around and between the islands, and the best time to visit is widely thought to be from December to April.

Although the Caribbean is typically known for its secluded white sand beaches with turquoise waters, coconut palms and coral reefs, the truth is that there is so much more to it than this. Each of its islands has its own distinct personality and a rich culture, deriving from an amalgamation of local traditions and colonial heritage. Spend your vacation sampling at leisure from this rich kaleidoscope of tastes, sounds, colours and sights – no island is quite like its neighbour. Immerse yourself in the cosmopolitan culture of St Maarten and dance all night to calypso music at the Carnival of Antigua; explore the lush cocoa plantations and the vibrant spice markets of Grenada, then retire to the Virgin Islands for some luxury retail therapy, fine dining and world-class cocktails. Sailing the Caribbean means you can experience all of this and more in one holiday – you truly can have it all with a Caribbean cruise, so why not charter a superyacht in the Caribbean with THE YACHT SET !
