High volcanic islands with evergreen rainforests, flat coral islands, long white sandy beaches lined with palm trees, turquoise water, colourful wooden houses in confectioner style and the special joie de vivre of the locals - the Caribbean is one of the most attractive travel destinations of all. Sailors appreciate the steady trade winds during the hurricane-free period from December to May. There is hardly any other sailing area with such reliable wind conditions.
In the Caribbean, the year is divided into a dry and a rainy period. The best time for your sailing holiday is therefore from winter to early spring, with constant trade winds and the most hours of sunshine per day.
Coral reefs - Check your depth sounder regularly and follow the information in the harbour handbooks.
Marinas - Please book your berth in advance as the marinas book up quickly during the winter season.
Fresh water - Some of the small islands have no fresh water supply. Please provide yourself with enough cold drinks.
