There are few pleasures in life greater than getting into a luxurious boat and heading out onto the open waters. Away from the worries and cares of life on the mainland, you can really get in touch with the wondrous beauty of mother nature.

Few places in the world can offer the type of sailing that you will get in the waters of the Caribbean. Whether you’re on a sailboat, pleasure boat, yacht, or anything in between, you’ll be in for the experience of a lifetime.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the best Caribbean sailing destinations.

 

Top Caribbean Sailing Destinations

 

1. Cancun

We’ve all heard of Cancun. It’s always been at the forefront of the long list of beloved Caribbean islands. Whether it’s for the history, nature, or simply for the parties, everyone has a reason to love the place.

For sailors, however, it’s the waters around it that bring us to Cancun. The island has been a gathering place for sailboats, yachts, and cruise ships from all corners of the world looking for some of the best sailing experience to be had anywhere in the world. Definitely worth checking out.

 

2. Martinique

If you’re looking for a little taste of France in the Caribbean, the island of Martinique should be your first stop on your Caribbean sailing tour.

You won’t lack for all the snorkeling, anchorages, and lunch stops along your merry way, and the azure waters will welcome you out onto the water as the gentle winds blow down from the island’s prominent hills. A paradise not to be forgotten.

 

3. Bahamas

Perhaps the most famous boating and holiday-making destination of the Caribbean, the Bahamas has a longstanding reputation as a world-class vacation spot. Boats in the Caribbean rarely overlook the Bahamas, and for good reason.

As it’s so close to the South Florida coast, you will have no trouble getting down there for a luxurious boating excursion. There are over 700 islands to take your pick from, from Exumas to Eleuthera, and they all offer excellent sailing among them.

 

4. Guadeloupe

Little-known Guadeloupe has been a well-kept secret among sailing enthusiasts for decades but the rest of the sailing world has begun to rediscover the charms of this delightful sailor’s paradise.

The archipelago-within-an-archipelago known as Les Saintes should be on the itinerary of any sailing excursion to this little slice of French West Indian heaven.

 

5. St Maarten

Luxurious St Maarten is one island governed by two countries but there are no half-measures when it comes to sheer Caribbean sailing pleasure.

This superb boating destination is everything a sailor could wish for; whether you’re in the mood to head over to the waters off the bustling French villages, or want to link up with your fellow boating aficionados in the megayacht marina.

 

Come on Over!

Whatever type of boat you’re in, whatever the occasion, and whoever you have accompanying you on your excursion, sailing in the Caribbean will undoubtedly be the experience of a lifetime.

The tropical climate is one of the most welcoming in the world and the cheerful turquoise waters off the island shores will provide you with endless Caribbean sailing pleasure. Don’t hesitate to make the trip – you won’t regret it.
