Sailors call it "island-hopping", when they are drifting relaxed from one island to another and from bay to bay, accompanied by the steady trade winds.
Each single tropical island has its very own characteristics and individual charm, often based on the cultural features of the former colonial powers. These islands, many of volcanic origin, enchant with tropical nature, the sound of reggae and steel bands and the scent of freshly grilled, exotic-spiced food, often served from converted old oil barrels which serve as barbeques.
For a long time, the islands in the Caribbean were considered as an ideal place for honeymooners and retirees who wanted to escape from the European winter. However, in recent decades the region has become one of the most attractive sailing areas in the world. In spring time, there are numerous regattas in which both international sailors and charter amateurs take part.
All the different cultural influences and the belonging to many states make every stay in the Caribbean an unique experience. The atmosphere is informal, loose and relaxing. Tourists from around the world are welcome. Residents proudly present the beauty of their islands and the secrets of the local cuisine. You can relax by spending your vacation onboard of a yacht, cruising through the Caribbean islands with short breaks for a swim or a small walk on a nearby beach. But the Caribbean offers much more. Nature lovers will be delighted finding pelicans and frigates, turtles and colorful tropical fishes. Green, steep volcanic mountains, rushing waterfalls, endless white, shiny, sandy beaches and spectacular reefs form this tropical scenery.
