Sailing provides
you with the perfect opportunity to enjoy the best of the
different islands and see all the best Caribbean
honeymoon destinations on one go. Going back through
history the waters of this area have been famed for
pirates and Spanish quests and you can get a taste of
these legendary waters as you set
sail.
Typically the best
time of the year to sail through the Caribbean waters is
between January and March; although if you happen to be
there on a different time of year, then there really
isn’t much of a problem. Typically the weather in this
area is fair and sunny throughout the year so you can
count on having a lot of good days for sailing. For some
smooth and easy sailing you should definitely stick to
the northeastern part where the waters are calmer.
The virgin islands and
for the more seasoned sailor the area towards the
Atlantic Ocean will provide you with quite an adventure
since the waves and currents are stronger. If you aren’t
too familiar with the sailing routes or the places that
you should visit you can get a guide or even ask locals
about the best places for you to stop at. Popular choices
that are commonly sailed through are The Virgin Islands,
Bahamas, The Grenadines, St. Barts, Martinique, Cuba,
Anguilla and St, Maarten.
In terms of the
charter that you will be using for sailing in the
Caribbean there are numerous choices available for you.
You can take your pick from a yacht, bareboat, skippered
boat or even a full crew charter. All these will depend on
your familiarity with sailing. You don’t need to worry if
you’ve never sailed before since you can still enjoy this
great activity with a full crew charter. You won’t even
need to do anything but enjoy the ride. This is ideal for
honeymooners who want to spend the most time they can
together although sailing alone with your better half can
also be a fun experience. There are both big and small
charter companies so you will have plenty of choices.
If you are picking a
yacht charter and plan to sail on your own you should
always make sure to take a look around for different
options. Compare prices and offers to make sure that you
get the best deal. On the other hand if you decide to get
a full crew do make sure that you are comfortable with
the people that you will be sailing with. These two tips
will ensure that you have a great time without having to
worry about the small things. Sailing in the Caribbean is
both an adventure and a romantic experience that you will
look back at years from now.
