St. Vincent & Grenadines St. Martin
What is it that makes vacationers from all over the world return repeatedly to St. Martin/St. Maarten? It is simply its uniqueness! Nowhere else, two different countries are peacefully co-owning such a small piece of land. Nowhere else, so many different cultures-Dutch, French, Caribbean, Asian, African and American- live so peacefully together. It is considered the “Gourmet Capital “ of the Caribbean. This is a very friendly island with lots of white sandy beaches, aqua water, a duty and tax-free haven, great food, music and art with an international flare that gives visitors a real variety of lifestyles and cultural backgrounds or different ways of communications. British Virgin Islands
In this place of quiet refuge and warm, gracious hospitality, only a few of the 60 islands that comprise the BVI are actually inhabited, including Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke, providing visitors with both delicious seclusion and the most vibrant, colorful ecosystems to explore on Earth. Famous for its beaches, especially The Baths on Virgin Gorda with their enormous boulders, the islands are celebrated for their variety of water sports, charter boats, fishing, windsurfing, snorkeling, swimming and limitless possibilities for scuba diving. The United States Virgin Islands - America’s Caribbean Paradise

There are two other populated islands in the USVI, St. Croix and St. John, as well as 50 smaller islands and reefs. They are famous for their superb bathing beaches and fishing, restaurants and snorkeling.

For most people, the US and British Virgin Islands are what come to mind when they think of the Caribbean, and in fact 80% of all chartering in the world takes place there. For those new to chartering, there is no better place, but for those who have been many times, a somewhat more exotic choice might be in order, such as St. Martin, Antiqua or Grenada. In the Virgin Islands, the sailing is spectacular and almost entirely within sight of land. There are great dive sites, and at least one memorable beach bar on each island you visit.
