Yacht Charter in the Leeward Islands

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

These islands form the middle of the Caribbean chain of islands that run north and south between Puerto Rico and Grenada.

St. Maarten and Antigua are easy to get to with flights from the USA and Europe.

St. Martin/St. Maarten is a dual nationality island with both French and Dutch influences on either side of the island. It is the winter “home” to many large charter yachts having excellent facilities for them and easy access for guests. Not far away on your charter yacht is St. Bart’s, which is “THE” place to be for New Year’s Eve. It provides a little taste of France right in the middle of the Leeward islands and is a very popular stopping place for many yacht charter guests.

Antigua, the other large island in the Leewards has a decidedly west Indian British flavor having been a British naval base from the times of Nelson. English Harbor is popular with larger sailing charter yachts. Smaller with their own charms are St. Kitts and Nevis, which create postcard images of dark green, lush mountain topped, islands surrounded by the bright blue waters of the Caribbean sea.

When you are ready to learn more just let International Yacht Charter Group know.

Charter a Yacht to the Virgin Islands!

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

The virgin islands are made up of the British and the U.S. Virgin islands. Travel by plane is easy to St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands. And there are direct flights to the mainland USA and Tortola in the British Virgin islands, which have services via Puerto Rico.

These islands provide the most sheltered waters of the Caribbean islands and are popular for their countless anchorages and their many short sails from one perfect place to another.

Many yacht charter guests consider a visit to the British Virgin Islands incomplete without a visit to “The Baths” and Foxy’s Bar on the beach.

So think about it and let International Yacht Charter Group know when you’ll be there. We’ll find the ideal yacht for you.
