Day 1: Anguilla
Begin your Caribbean yacht charter adventure through the Leewards at Anguilla, a tranquil island offering an unrivaled combination of natural beauty, world-class amenities, and unique experiences, making it an essential stop for any yachting adventure. Anguilla is home to some of the most pristine beaches in the Caribbean, with powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The island boasts over 33 beaches, each offering its own unique charm.
For yachters, the island’s calm and protected anchorages, such as Road Bay and Crocus Bay, make it easy to explore the coastline at your leisure. Nearby uninhabited cays, like Sandy Island and Prickly Pear, offer secluded paradises where yachts can anchor and visitors can enjoy peaceful afternoons surrounded by nothing but the sea and sky.
Day 2: Anguilla to St. Martin
Renowned for its dual identity — half French and half Dutch—and its exceptional appeal as a yachting destination, St. Martin is located just over four nautical miles from Anguilla and makes up the second day of the trip.
From the gastronomic delights on the French side to the chic boutiques and nightlife on the Dutch side, St. Martin offers an unparalleled yachting experience, seamlessly blending adventure, luxury, and convenience.
Day 3: St. Martin to St. Barths
The waters surrounding St. Barths are an ideal destination for yachters. The island is surrounded by coral reefs, providing excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. The clear waters also make for idyllic conditions for paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming right off the yacht.
St. Barths is known for its vibrant social scene, particularly during the winter holiday season. The island becomes a playground for celebrities, influencers, and international elites, making it one of the most glamorous destinations in the world.
Its stunning beaches, glamorous harbor, upscale amenities, and vibrant social scene make it an irresistible draw for yachters from around the world.
Day 4: St. Barths to St. Kitts and Nevis
Here, the trip turns southwest, to the twin islands of St. Kitts and Nevis. St. Barths and St. Kitts, two jewels in close proximity, perfectly complement each other among the Leeward Islands. Traveling between the upscale sophistication of St. Barths and the lush, historical allure of St. Kitts offers an enriching and well-rounded Caribbean adventure.
Their close proximity and the diverse experiences they offer make this journey an unforgettable part of this unique Caribbean adventure.
Day 5: St. Kitts
The unspoiled natural beauty of St. Kitts is one of its strongest draws. The island is a visual masterpiece, with its lush green hills, volcanic peaks, and golden beaches set against the backdrop of crystal-clear turquoise waters. St. Kitts boasts numerous secluded anchorages, such as White House Bay and Major’s Bay, where yachters can enjoy calm waters and peaceful surroundings. The towering presence of Mount Liamuiga, a dormant volcano, adds to the island’s charm, offering stunning views both from the water and on land.
Day 6: Antigua
Known as the “Sailing Capital of the Caribbean,” Antigua offers everything from heart-pounding opportunities for adventure to world-class sailing regattas, making it a bucket-list destination for yachting enthusiasts. Antigua offers 365 sandy coves along 50 miles of postcard-perfect coastline. Galley Bay is a haven for surfers, Jabberwock Beach for kiteboards, and Half Moon Bay for those looking to light up their Instagram. Each moment on the island is a heady mix of adventure and splendor. You can hurtle through the rainforest canopy on a zip line, or kayak slowly through the mangrove swamps.
Antigua is also home to a vibrant sailing community and a calendar of world-renowned regattas and events that celebrate its rich maritime heritage, from Antigua Sailing Week, to the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. Undoubtedly, this island has established itself as a global hub for yachting, drawing a diverse and international community of sailing enthusiasts.
Day 7: Antigua to Barbuda
As one of the most undeveloped of the Caribbean Islands, Barbuda makes for a peaceful change of pace after two days in Antigua and ends your Leeward itinerary perfectly.
With its powdery pink sand beaches and unspoiled underwater reefs, Barbuda is a dream for yachters — both above and below sea level.
Its gorgeous waters and thriving marine ecosystems offer some of the best snorkeling and diving experiences in the Caribbean. Snorkel through the crystal-clear waters to spot tropical fish, sea turtles, and vibrant coral formations, or explore underwater wrecks, such as the remains of the shallow-water 1905 Andes shipwreck, accessible to snorkelers and divers alike.
