Green Island (Nonsuch Bay)
Inside its protective reef you will find some of the best snorkeling in the area - a place most folks find hard to leave. You can explore the bay by dinghy. Visit Harmony Hall, a converted sugar mill which now houses an excellent bar and restaurant, together with an art gallery.

Low Bay, Barbuda
The extraordinary untouched beauty of Low Bay, with its spectacular pink sand, will leave you breathless. You can also visit the world's largest frigate bird sanctuary on this lovely peaceful island.

North Sound, Great Bird Island
Hike to the hilltop for spectacular views and look out for a myriad of bird species and endangered fanua, such as the Antiguan racer and the West Indian whistling duck.

Deep Bay

Tortola

Anegada
Anegada - The Drowned Island, is an absolute must when sailing in this area. It is not just the navigational complexity which makes this a memorable stop. Anegada is a wildlife sanctuary and refuge for colonies of flamingos, herons and ospreys. It is also home to the endangered rock iguana which can grow to five feet long.

Cooper Island
There are white sand beaches and no roads on this island. The climate is almost perfect with balmy tropical breezes. You'll see coconut palms, bougainvillea, frangipani, yucca, orchids and other exotic plants on the island and a nice variety of birds.

Jost Van Dyke
Named after a Dutch pirate, this unspoilt, secluded island provides a number of perfect anchorages for visiting yacht people. Great Harbor has local shops, restaurants and bars including the famous Foxy's Tamarind Bar and Grill. White Bay has a beautiful white sandy beach ideal for a lunch stop.

Marina Cay
Marina Cay is a tiny island off Tortola, protected by a reef which offers you some fantastic snorkelling. There is a Pussers restaurant should you choose to relax with a drink and dine ashore.

Norman Island
An absolute must on any BVIs vacation, Norman Island is a long standing favorite with the yachting community. With legends of buried treasure and superb snorkeling at The Caves, there’s also a good choice of dining ashore and afloat on board the converted sailing ship, William Thornton, at The Bight.

Peter Island
Peter Island - once described as 'a kind of Robinson Crusoe spot' - now has an exclusive yacht harbor with excellent facilities at Sprat Bay Point. This is a very popular day time stop in the BVIs.

St. John (USVI)
The smallest and some say the loveliest of the three main US Virgin Islands, St John is just 28 square miles in area, two thirds of this being US national park. Take a tour by safari bus or jeep to learn all about the ancient folklore of this island. Coral Bay and Hurricane Hole are just two of the many perfect anchorages to choose from around St John. At Cruz Bay you can enjoy a good choice of restaurants and bars with live music all year round.

St. Thomas (USVI)
As a major sea port, St Thomas is one of the most popular cruise points in the Caribbean. The capital Charlotte Amalie, named after a Danish Queen, is a non-stop shopaholics paradise packed with duty-free bargains and an excellent choice of designer label clothing and goods. It has fantastic night-life with reggae and steel bands, live combos and limbo dancing going on nightly at most hotels or bars everywhere. There’s usually lots of live entertainment during the day too. There are plenty of museums and places of interest to visit if you prefer the quiet side of life.

The Baths and Spanish Town
Virgin Gorda’s signature attraction is The Baths. This boulder-lined beach is sometimes referred to as "God’s Marbles." Visually striking granite boulders line the water and form semi-protected pools. The beach itself is quite attractive and snorkeling is good here. This unique, picturesque beach is probably the only place on the island where one can ever find a crowd. This happens when cruise ship passengers are shuttled to the beach. This really isn’t a problem, though. Very similar beaches, Spring Bay and The Crawl, are found just north of The Baths.

Virgin Gorda
Most visitors to Virgin Gorda come to swim at The Baths, a unique rock formation with an exciting walk through the pools and caves to Devil's Bay.


St. Martin

Most  bases are located on the eastern side of the island in Captain Oliver’s Marina at Oyster Pond, a protected lagoon surrounded by hills and with a superb beach. Here you are just a short distance from an impressive choice of bars and restaurants. There is a well-stocked supermarket, as well as showers and accommodation, at the on site hotel. St. Martin is an island of fascinating contrasts - French in the north and Dutch in the South.

Nearby Sandy Island is a popular offshore stop, and further north, some of the best snorkelling and diving can be enjoyed at Prickly Pear Cays.

St. Barts
On the west coast, Gustavia, St. Barts’ main town, is reminiscent of provincial France and a great place for dining ashore. Ile Fourche is a perfect lunchtime stop on your way to St. Barts and the snorkelling and diving here is excellent. The secluded Baie Columbier is also regarded by many as one of the best anchorages in the Eastern Caribbean.

St. Eustatius
Known as Statia, this is a peaceful island with a quiet charm. Visit the spectacular walk-in volcano, which rises in a perfect cone to 2000 feet. The clear waters sport some exceptional reefs and hundreds of fish, perfect for diving and snorkelling opportunities.

St. Kitts and Nevis
A 50-mile reach from St. Barts, the charming island of St. Kitts boasts beautiful beaches and lush scenery. You can also explore the dense rainforest on Nevis or see the wild greenback monkeys at Golden Rock Estate.


Grenadines

From your base  located on the southern tip of St. Vincent at the Lagoon Hotel and Marina. A delightful, protected anchorage, it is perfectly positioned for your sail south as well as for land trips around the island itself. Just a ten minute transfer from the airport, the nineteen air-conditioned rooms at the hotel have direct Internet and e-mail access.

Bequia
An eight-mile sail from St. Vincent, Bequia is an old favourite in the yachting community and has something for everyone. Head for Admiralty Bay where you can spend time ashore exploring the shops, bars and many good restaurants along the waterfront, or hike inland to other areas of interest.

Canouan
Sail downwind to the hilly island of Canouan and pick up a mooring off Tamarind Bay at the northern end of the island. Protected by an extensive reef, many consider the beaches on the eastern side of the island to be the best in The Grenadines.

Carriaccou
The largest island of The Grenadines, Carriacou is a perfect stop off on a passage to Grenada, just eight miles from Union Island. It has the widest choice in the lower Grenadines for those wishing to eat out, and the inhabitants are amongst the friendliest in the Caribbean.

Grenada
The southern most point of the Windward Islands, Grenada is covered with verdant green mountains, waterfalls, golden beaches and the fragrant spice trees which lend the island its epithet - the ‘Spice Island’ of the Caribbean.

Mustique
Neighbouring Mustique is one of the most exclusive islands in the world, frequented by royalty and rock stars alike and surrounded by coral, sandy beaches and coves. Mingle with the island dwellers at the atmospheric Basil’s Bar, the hot spot of the island at Britannia Bay, Mustique’s main harbor.

Petit St. Vincent and Petit Martinique
Just a short sail southeast from Union brings you to this secluded island hideaway. The beaches are lovely, providing many charming walks on Petit St. Vincent, and the snorkelling opportunities on the surrounding reef are also excellent. Petit Martinique is small and enchanting and still virtually untouched by tourism.

Tobago Cays
A national marine park not to be missed, the Tobago Cays are at the top of many a cruising itinerary. Snorkelling and diving inside Horseshoe Reef, which protects this scattering of islands, is spectacular.

Union
Clifton, on the dramatically mountainous Union Island, is a bustling port and the yachting centre of the southern Grenadines. Visit the collection of sharks in the pool at the Anchorage hotel, or occupy yourself with the many local supermarkets and boutiques.


Mediterranean

French Riviera
Saint Tropez, St Raphael
Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco

Occupying the Southern coastal area of France, between Marseille and Menton, can be found the towns of Toulon, St.Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, and Monaco. Inland are some beautiful hilltop villages it seems that time has forgotten. The Alpes-Maritime provide protection to these coastal towns.

The French Riviera has an envious reputation for being the playground of Europe's rich & famous. Film & pop stars, models, racing drivers & business tycoons all come to these Mediterranean shores for some serious frolicking in the sun. There is a great deal for the less flamboyant traveler as well. You do not have to be rich to explore the charms that this area has in abundance.

With moderate breezes, multiple anchorages, various landscapes, the sunshine-guaranteed Cote d'Azur is charming in so many different ways. It is a privileged navigational zone bursting with ports, towns, villages and islands. You will navigate from one pleasure to the next, whether it be navigational, gastronomic, or cultural.

Monaco
The tiny principality of Monaco is a world of its own, set apart even from the rest of the luxurious Cote d’Azur. Admire the 13th Century Prince’s Palace from the large open square where you can see the changing of the guard at midday. Stroll along the Boulevard Princesse Grace, visit Lavrotto Beach and try your luck in the evening at one of the many casinos off the main square.

Porquerolles, Port Cros and Iles d’Or
Porquerolles, Port Cros and the Iles d’Or (Golden Islands) are all within easy reach of our base. With its pine-fringed beaches and its wild interior, Porquerolles has been preserved from mass tourism and offers a glimpse of the Provencale way of life.

St. Tropez
Just around the headland sailing west, the former small fishing harbor of Cavalaire has excellent facilities, bars and restaurants with 3km of fine sandy beach. A short sail of around 13 nautical miles brings you to the unforgettable St. Tropez. Stop for a spot of lunch and take a stroll around the ramparts of the 16th century citadel, affording you the best views of the gulf. There are many beaches to choose from – forty in total along this peninsula. Further west, Port Grimaud is a medieval miniature Venice of canals and bridges.

St.Raphael
Our St. Raphael base is situated in the marina alongside the beach. The marina has very good facilities and lots of restaurants to choose from. Around a 16 mile sail east lies the elegant city of Cannes, world famous for its film festival in May. Step ashore to shop in the stylish perfumeries, jewellers, confectionists and of course “haute couture” boutiques.
