With an abundance of protected anchorages and pristine waters make this region
the most popular destination for yacht chartering in the world. Mountainous and
lush with spectacular island views, particularly from the peaks facing Sir
Francis Drake Passage - a waterway providing perhaps the best sailing in all of
the Caribbean.
The Virgin Islands are separated into the bustling U.S. Virgin Islands and the
quieter British Virgin Islands. Duty-free shopping is a major source of revenue
for St. Thomas. Cruise ships, freighters and navy ships from around the world
make this port of call one of the busiest in the Caribbean. Almost two-thirds
of St John is a national park with a keen eye to ecco tourism. The quieter
British Virgin Islands offers divers an estimated 300 wrecks to explore; the
most impressive of which is the RMS Rhone, sunk off Salt Island in the 1867
hurricane.
In the BVIs you have available to you, everything from sleepy little anchorages
to bouncy, reggae infused beach bars; snorkel, swim, relax under a palm tree or
head to Road Town the capital of Tortola, and pick up some souvenirs from a
local vendor. This cruising ground offers both "short hops" and longer, day
sails. You may wake up in one picturesque bay and after lunch, find yourself
cruising off to a comfortable, night anch
The Baths on Virgin Gorda has water clear as glass between towering boulders
and hidden caves. Snorkelers also enjoy Anegada, where coral reefs, sea fans
and barrel sponges shelter giant schools of brilliant reef fish. The island
boasts spectacular beaches and this is the place to go ashore for one of the
best lobster dinners you could ever enjoy.

Visit the exclusive seaside community of Newport and tour the famous summer
"cottages" built during The Gilded Age. Stop in the charming towns on the
sister islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket renowned for its historic
significance as a whaling port. Hyannis, Buzzards Bay - just two of the well
known, Coastal towns that reflect all that is the New England seashore.
Lobsters are a must and a walk on the endless miles of beach surrounded by the
history of our founding fathers, makes these locations great, family
destinations.

Situated southeast of the Virgin Islands encompassing Anguilla, St Martin, St
Barts and Antigua. British Anguilla is ringed by powdery white beaches and is a
delightful stop for people wanting to get away from it all. The island offers
secluded up market resorts with excellent dining ashore.
A livelier atmosphere is found on the half-French and half-Dutch St Martin. The
French side boasts a European culture with engaging waterfront bistros and
cosmopolitan shopping. The Dutch side (Sint Maarten) has bustling resorts,
casinos and duty-free shopping. Twelve miles to the south lies St. Barts, the
Caribbean's St. Tropez. Chic and civilized, the island mixes haute cuisine,
jazz bars, art galleries, and fashion. St. Barts is a haven for the beautiful
people, definitely the place to see and be seen.
Seventy miles southeast of St Barts lies Antigua, one of the Caribbean's most
popular destinations. Antigua has an excellent national park in historic
Nelson's Dockyard with its restored warehouses, boutiques, inns and
restaurants. Yachts from all over the world descend on Antigua for one of
sailing's most prestigious regattas, Antigua Sailing Week.
