After a busy summer, the charter yachts are currently
hauled-out in the shipyards working on their routine
maintenance and will soon be transitioning to their
winter ports in order to provide you with the most
superior service expected on a yacht charter.
Whether you are looking for an early season charter
in November and December, a holiday charter over
Christmas & New Years or the January and February
“I-cannot-put-up-with-another-blizzard, get-meout-of-here” charter, we are giving you a couple
of itineraries and sample yachts to help with your
planning. As always, if desired, we can provide you
with further details on specific locations, yachts and
the best time of the year to visit desired destinations.
The islands of St. Maarten and St. Barth’s offer
everything that a charter guest dreams of. However,
two destinations that you and your family might
enjoy—St. Vincent & The Grenadines and the U.S.
Virgin Islands are well worth considering.
Situated in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean, St.
Vincent, The Grenadines and Grenada (The Isle of Spice),
provide yachting enthusiasts with the ultimate yachting
experience. This stretch of 90 miles offers year-round
great weather, fabulous waters and plenty of activities
onshore, making the region a fantastic place for a yacht

vacation. Whether you are exploring the lush tropical
rainforests, full of eco-adventures on St. Vincent, or
experiencing the coral reefs and turquoise lagoons of
Bequia, this region is worthy of your winter vacation.
St. Vincent and Grenada are easily accessible from the
U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Western Europe via the major
airlines and private aircraft.
Near the northernmost part of the Caribbean lay
the U.S. Virgin Islands—St. Thomas, St. Croix and St.
John’s. With easy flights into St. Thomas, your winter
vacation quickly commences. During your charter,
you may enjoy the bustle of Main Street in Charlotte
Amalie on St. Thomas, the national parks of St. John’s,
the rain forests of St. Croix and the fabulous diving
on Buck Island. A quick alteration to your itinerary will
bring you into Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands.
We look forward to assisting you with the planning of
your next yacht charter. It is best to plan ahead to secure
your preferred dates, and do remember that during the
holidays many yachts require a 10 day minimum or a
schedule that allows for a week-long Christmas charter
and a week-long New Year’s charter.
In the meantime, We’ll be attending
the following yacht shows
October 27–31 | Fort Lauderdale Int’l Boat Show
If you are in the Fort Lauderdale area during this period,
please stop by our offices at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center.
Although it’s mainly a sales and brokerage show, there will be
quite a few charter vessels on display and we’d love to show
you some of these yachts.
December | 50th Annual Antigua Charter Show
This broker-only show is the largest event for charter yachts
in the Caribbean. Additionally, the majority of the yachts
on display will be available for charter in the Med or New
England during the Summer. The show gives us a great
opportunity to inspect a large number of charter vessels
and meet their respective captains and crew.

At the southern end of the Caribbean
chain, the Windward Islands are a wellkept secret. Situated as the last links
before Trinidad and South America, the
Windwards are lush and richly tropical
volcanic islands, green with palm lined
sandy beaches.
Day 1 & 2 | You will arrive in St.
Vincent, to be greeted and transported
to your yacht. Relax, unwind and
unpack to settle-in aboard your new
home for the next week. The daring
in your group will head to the famous
La Soufriere volcano where you will
experience breath-taking views and a
top-of-the-world euphoria found only at
the summit of such world-class hikes.
Others will enjoy a small boat trip to
the Falls of Baleine. Spend the nights
anchored in Chateaubelair, the most
scenic anchorage in St. Vincent or Cane
Garden near Kingstown, the capital.
Day 3 | After a breakfast cruise to the
island of Bequia (pronounced “beckway”), anchor in picturesque Admiralty
Bay. Descending from Scots and French,
the inhabitants of Admiralty Harbor are
proud people. Diving is exceptional and
can be arranged for you by the crew. A
land tour is recommended to appreciate
this tropical Nantucket.
Day 4 | Spend the day in the Tobago
Cays—five tiny, uninhabited islands.
Surrounded by pristine Horseshoe
Reef, a snorkeler’s paradise awaits
with a fantastic array of sponges, coral
formations and feeding fish. In the
afternoon, the dive boats all depart,
leaving you in perfect solitude.
Day 5 | Awake in Canouan with the
return to civilized pleasures and play a
round of golf at the Trump International
Golf Club at Raffles Resort, or pamper
yourself at Raffles’ Amrita Spa. Later, head
to Union Island and visit Mt. Tabol or walk
the long sandy beach in Chatham Bay.
Day 6 | Leaving the splendor of the
Grenadines will be tough on you, but the
famous island of Grenada awaits you.
Grenada offers lush green mountains,
waterfalls and golden beaches.
Grenada is the “Isle of Spice” due to the
abundance of spice trees. The next two
days will give you a taste of this island’s
treasures. Crater Lake, waterfall after
waterfall and the monkeys await your
arrival; touring this island is a safari.
Day 7 | Today is your day. Spend it
anyway you like in Grenada before you
have to say goodbye and travel to the
airport. If you are flying out of Grenada,
spend the morning shopping, swimming
and snorkeling. If you are flying out of St.
Vincent, pull up anchor and cruise north,
reliving the past six days. Slow it down,
speed it up, there is so much more to
see and do. It’s up to you!

US Virgin Islands
the choice is yours when it comes to cruising the shimmering
blue waters and spectacular coral reefs of the virgin islands.
Welcome to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
During your 7 day charter you will
experience all the flavors, scents and
lore of the past and present—but
without marauding pirates! As you
peruse this sample itinerary, it is simply
that, a sample. You are in charge, calling
the shots and making or changing the
plans as the mood strikes you!
Day 1 | You will arrive in St. Thomas,
greeted by a crew member to whisk
you away to Crown Bay Marina and
your waiting yacht. Enjoy lunch alfresco
as we cruise Charlotte Amalie Harbor.
At your desire, we will drop the anchor,
launch the tender for you to explore
or shop all the island has to offer. We
can anchor for the night or return to the
marina, the choice is yours.
Day 2 | How about a water sports
day? After breakfast we can depart for
Megan’s Bay, St. Thomas. Located on
the north shore of the island, protected
by land on three sides, it boasts one
of the favorite beaches on the island!
Snorkel, ski, windsurf, people watch or
explore — Megan's Bay is pretty as a
postcard; warm, sexy and inviting!
Day 3 | A short two hour cruise brings
us to bustling Cruz Bay, St. John. Cruz
Bay is the heart of this island covered
with tropical rain forests and national
parks. Lunch in any of the pretty seaside cantinas promises to be delightful,
followed by a walk to Mongoose
Junction’s exotic shopping haven.
Afterwards, we return to the yacht for a
quick cruise to Caneel Bay.
Day 6 | We will take a quick 30 minute
cruise to Buck Island with its shimmering
blue water and spectacular coral reefs.
The island boasts exceptional wildlife
above and below the sea. For the
evening we will take a short ride back to
the St. Croix Yacht Club at Teague Bay.
Dinner and cocktails on the aft deck are
a must as the moon and stars watch you
dance the night away!
Day 4 | Awake beside one of
the island’s prettiest beaches for
a morning swim. After breakfast,
discover St. John the best way, by
jeep. You may choose to go it on your
own, or a crew member will be happy
to guide you. Return to the yacht for a
sunset cruise to beautiful Francis Bay.
Day 7 | Enjoy the morning on the
beach, just thirty feet from your yacht.
We have made no plans for this morning,
as an opportunity for you to explore
this beautiful island. Afternoon will find
us departing for a leisurely cruise back
to St. Thomas. We make landfall under
cover of night, stars twinkling above and
the beauty of Charlotte Amalie aglow in
the moonlight. Cruising into this harbor
of lights is a fitting end to your sparkling
week on charter!
Day 5 | A perfect day for a Blue Water
cruise! Today we will cruise to the
largest of the Virgin Islands, St. Croix.
Four hours to the south lays the part
of Christiansted. A walking tour of this
town filled with Danish architecture is
interesting and fun with your crewman
along to indicate the best points of
interest. Return to the yacht for a lovely
sunset cruise to Green Cay Marina.

Windward Islands
Leeward Islands
What’s the difference?
The Windward Islands are the southern islands of the Lesser Antilles. They are called such
because they are more windward than the Leeward Islands, given that the prevailing winds in
the area blow to the north. Martinique, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Saint Vincent, The Grenadines,
Trinidad and Tobago make up the Windward Islands.
The Leeward Islands are the northern islands of the Lesser Antilles. They are called “Leeward”
because the prevailing winds in the area blow from south to north. Thus the Leeward Islands are
downwind, on the backside, or leeward from the Windward Islands. The Virgin Islands, Anguilla,
Saint Maarten, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Saint Barth’s, Antigua, Barbuda, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat,
Guadeloupe and Dominica make up the Leeward Islands.
