Leeward Islands – Top Yacht Charter Destination
Known as the “islands under the wind”, the Caribbean’s Leeward Islands are guaranteed to blow you away. Gear up to start your adventure, whatever you taste. Wanting glamour and sophistication, think St Barts or St Martin. Prefer quiet and isolation? Go for Redonda. Then there are the wild and undeveloped islands, like Saba. Whatever your preferences, there is an adventurous world waiting to be discovered.
In St Kitts, kick back and admire the mighty waves crashing against the impressive Black Rocks. Enjoy your time diving and snorkelling in Jacques Cousteau's Underwater Reserve in Guadeloupe. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the bubbly water at Guadeloupe’s famed Champagne diving site. Or how abut descending into the volcanic crater in Quill/Boven National Park in Sint Eustatius?
For scenery that is unspoilt and isolated, island hop to the Puerto-Rican Virgin islands of Vieques and Culebra. Some of the Caribbean’s top sites for diving and snorkelling are situated around Vieques and Culebra — and that’s a big claim, given the myriad options on offer. But there’s plenty of evidence to back it up.

TO DO
From the eastern part of the islands you can clearly see the US Virgin Islands. So once you’ve dried off and are ready to turn up the notch on the glitz and glamour, sail on to see what St Thomas, St Croix and St John have in store for you. Serial shoppers be alert: St Thomas, especially, is known as the shopping mall of the Caribbean.
Lying in the sun on the deck of your luxury yacht, exploring underwater treasures, cruising the warm, clear waters of the Caribbean Sea… you have all the ingredients of an idyllic yachting vacation at your fingertips. Tailor your island-hopping journey to your dreams and you will certainly make it a reality.
If you love the great outdoors, there are hiking trails, horse riding and surfing to tantalise your inner thrill seeker, while lovers of nature will be seduced by the abundant natural parks and wildlife reserves.
Haute cuisine and luxury shopping will leave you thoroughly sated if you are a connoisseur of fine living. And if you’re a beginner or veteran diver or angler, you’ll be sure to return time and time again. The Leeward Islands are certain to stick to their promise of having a little something for everyone.
A typical yachting itinerary in the Caribbean starts in Antigua-Montserrat and also covers La Moule (Guadeloupe), Basse Terre (Guadeloupe), Dominica, Martinique, St.Lucia, St.Vincent, and Barbados.
