Luxury Leeward Islands Yacht Charter
Luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean Leeward Islands
The Caribbean Leeward Islands are the destination of choice for when you just need to get away from it all. Drop anchor in the crystal-clear waters and watch magical sunsets, champagne in hand, and drink it all in.
A luxury yacht charter in the Leeward Islands offers the chance to experience the Caribbean in a totally unique way. From beautiful Sint Maarten, with its isolated coves, lively beach fronts and high-quality restaurants, to the ultra-exclusive St Barts with its designer outlets, secluded beaches and crystal clear waters favoured by A-listers.
The Caribbean Leewards boast picture-perfect scenery with crystal clear waters, endless white sandy beaches and an array of fantastic bars and restaurants for indulging. If the Leeward Islands do one thing well, it is exclusivity.
The picture-postcard island of Anguilla is a favourite for diving, snorkelling and swimming in the perfectly clear waters. Feel the white sands of Shoal Bay between your toes and dance the night away to reggae in the beachfront bars.
Relax on the paradise island of St Kitts and explore protected forests and jungle. Discover many black coral reefs that are home to sea fans and angelfish before enjoying sunset cocktails from the top deck. A short hop over the narrows takes you to Nevis, St Kitts’ sister island. Equally unspoilt, Nevis proudly boasts more resident monkeys than people and you can take a dip in the volcanic hot springs at the Historic Bath Village.
