Areas for sailing in the Caribbean Sea
Grenada
The Spicy Caribbean. That’s exactly Grenada. A lush, green, mountainous island with a wild jungle interior and the true Caribbean life on the coast with the warmest seas and beautiful diving. The windward side of Grenada provides a rich underwater life on a coral reef. Grenada is more suitable for experienced yachtsmen and is ideal for one-way sailing to St Vincent or St Lucia.

St Lucia
Diamond of the Caribbean. Volcanic island, rainforest, a boiling lake and thermal waterfalls. Permanent sweeping winds, unrivalled panoramas, picturesque harbours, inland voyages of discovery, friendly joints and Caribbean cuisine that will enchant you. Saint Lucia, with an area of 616 km square, has a population of 174 000. The head of this island is Queen Elizabeth II. The main export item is bananas, which suggests that agriculture is the second most important form of livelihood, right after tourism.
Experience the sweeping winds between the islands and ocean waves, or enjoy the tranquility of the windward shore, palm beaches, picturesque bars, and undemanding but exciting snorkelling. The ideal place to head out from to nearby islands such as St Vincent, Tobago Cays, Mustique, and many more.
Saint Lucia has a variety of flora and fauna. You might come across one of the 50 specimens of the Amazona Versicolor, or Saint Lucia Parrot, which almost became extinct in the 1970s due to the hurricanes that raged here at that time. Despite that, in some cases this parrot can even be bred in captivity, its price is incalculable. Because this species of the Amazona Versicolor parrot lives only on the island of St. Lucia, it has become its national symbol.

Even nature lovers will find a lot to engage them here. In 2004, the two peaks of Gros and Petit Pitons were entered into the UNESCO World Heritage List. They originated 40 000 years ago and today make up the majority of a largely protected landscape area.

British Virgin Islands, BVI (British Virgin Islands)
One of the most beautiful yachting locations in the world. A unique location in the Caribbean, providing yachting in a huge, enclosed coral lagoon. There are sweeping trade winds and, thanks to the coral reef, small waves offering easy sailing between islands just a few kilometres apart. This popular yachting location is so rugged that it can provide privacy for a large number of sailboats.
Cuba
Communism in the Caribbean has its own inimitable form. This open-air museum of socialism in this tropical paradise can perhaps only be understood first-hand, by someone who has lived in the communist regime. A unique destination with pristine seas, plenty of fish and a lack of restaurants. Cuba simply has fantastic, untouched nature that cannot be found anywhere else.

The Bahamas and Abacos
Cruise from one beach with desert dunes to another in crystal clear waters. Undemanding yachting suitable for beginners with plenty of good anchorages. Ideal for an easygoing and relaxing boating holiday. Beautiful snorkelling in a shallow waters with abundant marine life.
Belize
Few people know that after the Great Barrier Reef, the coral reef around Belize is the second largest coral reef in the world. Belize, is an as yet undiscovered yachting paradise. This part of Central America is best defined by the words pristine and virgin. There are many low, palm islands and bars where you can order crayfish for the price of lamb in Croatia. Old Indian civilizations left traces of architectural monuments, hidden away in the surrounding primeval forests. In short, a land both exciting and unspoilt.
