Find the Best Boat Charter and Itinerary for your Sailing Holidays.

If you would like a winter break, there are great sailing conditions in the Caribbean . A constant warm wind on the beam makes the sailing between the islands very exciting. Cruising in the Caribbean gives you the perfect opportunity to explore exotic islands, deserted shores and beaches and see places which are difficult to access other than by yacht.
Northern Child is superbly equipped for blue-water cruising. She is professionally run by a skipper and a hostess/cook. If you have children there is plenty to occupy them once the sailing is finished, including snorkelling, the beaches and towing the donut behind the dinghy! We also have a 4 metre dinghy and 25HP Yamaha outboard motor which allows us to make good trips ashore once we have arrived in an Island .
In the Caribbean there are three main charter cruising areas, the Grenadines between St. Vincent and Grenada , the Leeward Islands from St. Martin to Antigua and the Virgin Islands .
The scenery and underwater environment are amongst the most beautiful in the Caribbean , with the Islands being most famed for the clarity of the water and the pristine condition of the reefs. None of the Islands are far apart so the area gives a fantastic ble

nd of exciting sailing, snorkelling and diving, and exploring new Islands .
Follow the breeze and go island hopping. Set sail from St Vincent and drop anchor at Mustique where you can enjoy a tropical cocktail and watch the sunset at the renowned Basil's Bar. Then set course for Mayreau and the absolutely perfect white sand beach at Saltwhistle Bay.
The Leeward Island chain from St Martin in the north, Dominica in the south and Antigua in the center, offers yet another type of charter territory. With some longer passages between islands in open sea conditions, this is the area for some of the best sailing in the world. The islands offer an extremely diverse range of island cultures.
Antigua itself is one of the major yachting centers in the Caribbean ; it has a rich history and in the 18th century, the famous Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour , was the base of the British Fleet in the West Indies . The island has beautiful beaches, deeply indented bays and has perfect sailing conditions year-round.
Heading first west from Antigua is St Kitts and Nevis, another twin island nation. Next in the chain going west is St Eustatia (Statia), a small island with a big history, which was once the trade capital of the West Indies .
This sleepy island offers peace and tranquillity and many pretty walks. Nevis , St Kitts, Saba and Statia are all volcanic islands often with cloud-topped peaks and for the most part they are surrounded by deep water. Saba, a mere five square mile rock which reaches a lofty 3,000ft, offers scuba diving rated as some of the best in the Caribbean and an isolated island character that is spotlessly clean. There are villages of white-washed, red roofed cottages and cobblestone streets built by descendents of Dutch, Scottish and British settlers. Next, St Barthelemy or St Bart's as it's often known is now a fashionable sailing destination and has become the Riviera of the Caribbean. Anguilla is a low island surrounded by spectacular pristine white sand beaches and banks of coral. St Martin, divided across the middle, is part French, part Dutch and one of the best known holiday destinations in the Caribbean, a duty free island, shopping is big business here. St Martin also has excellent international air connections and is a convenient dropping off point for charter guests.
