With its numerous islands and relaxed atmosphere, the Caribbean is a top winter sun destination and many of the luxury cruising yachts head across the Atlantic once the European autumn approaches. Known for its simple lifestyle and warm hospitality, the bays and coves of the exotic Windward and Leeward Islands combine tranquility at anchor with the heartbeat of island life in the small bars that dot the shoreline. St.Bart’s, Antigua and St.Maarten all host top regattas attracting some of the world’s most beautiful classic yachts and the elite lifestyle that goes with them.
Weather in the Caribbean
The high season in the Caribbean runs from mid-December to March but the shoulder season, from April to July, is a also a good time to charter when there are less visitors, sunny weather and the constant Trade Winds to cool you down and fill your sails. Temperatures are a constant 27-29°C in the BVI and Leeward Islands during this period and the Trade Winds blow at a steady 15 to 25 knots. Further south in the Windward Islands the temperatures are around 30°C all year and Trade Winds in the peak winter months are around 20-25 knots usually from the North East.
