The date above is the travel window minus 55 days. Our own enquiries put the median gap between first contact and departure at 40 days, so this has you looking early rather than late.

Why these charter grounds suit the dates
St Barths
The Caribbean's most glamorous harbour – New Year's Eve in Gustavia is the yachting world's winter rendezvous, booked many months ahead.
British Virgin Islands
Steady 15–20 knot trade winds and line-of-sight island hops make the BVI the world's most forgiving blue-water playground.
Antigua and Barbuda
A bay for every day of the year and the Caribbean's premier regatta calendar – Antigua Sailing Week closes the season each spring.
Barbados
The easternmost of the Windwards greets the Atlantic head-on – surf-washed east coasts, calm platinum west-coast anchorages and rum heritage ashore.
Grenadines
Tobago Cays' turtle-filled lagoon, Mustique's privacy and steady trades between every island – this is the Caribbean's definitive island-hopping run.
Anguilla
Powder-white sands and glassy leeward anchorages – Anguilla pairs Caribbean trade-wind sailing with some of the region's finest beach dining.
