Sailing in the Caribbean




What better way to see the Caribbean than as Columbus did over 500 years ago? Fully crewed yachts allow you the freedom to lift anchor and travel with the wind. Drop anchor in secluded coves or off deserted islands, or cruise into a lively port for a night of reggae and soca. "Tall Ships" allow you to sail like the legendary clippers of a century and a half ago. For within the setting of a magnificently evocative Tall Ship is a world for those who seek an authentic sailing adventure without sacrificing creature comforts. Keep nautical traditions alive. Ducking under booms, leaning against railing a few feet above the sea, watching the crew work the winches and climb the masts... all constant reminders that these are legendary ships. Visit remote islands and unspoiled beaches where the mega cruise ships can't go.
