A Town Called ‘Pleasant’

April 14, 2020 - by Mark Stevens

We’ve just sailed past the tip of a long peninsula jutting south from the Belize mainland and now we’re negotiating a photogenic harbour populated by cruising sailboats anchored off a laid-back beach resort village called Placencia.Explore

St. Lucia, Small in Size. Big on Adventure

April 14, 2020 - by Melody Wren

Waves washed over me making me scream at the suddenness and surprise of their size. Our kayak rode up and lurched down the steep crest of the wave as screams turned to laughter. I turned to my kayak partner at the back and said, “l’ll never be able to kayak on a lake again.” We were kayaking on the Atlantic side of the island and the Atlantic Ocean is known for being choppy, especially in areas where it meets up with the Caribbean.Explore

Barbados – a Cultural Mecca

February 18, 2020 - by Anne Brobyn

Often times, when we think of cultural meccas we think of destinations like Europe and urban centres such as New York City, but there is an emerging trend in the Caribbean you might want to consider for your next vacation…Barbados, the easterly most island of the Caribbean.Explore

San Juan Harbour: Up Close and Personal

January 28, 2020 - by Mark Stevens

Moments after casting off from San Juan Marina, in a vast harbour embracing Puerto Rico’s biggest city, I throttle up our rubber dinghy’s outboard and the lively craft surges forward. Two other vessels complete our fleet. A Puerto Riqueño, with his wife for crew, pilots one. Our tour guide, Elvis Monge, handles the other. Our manifest includes my wife and our friend, Rebecca Keddie, who’s lived on-island for roughly a year. I’m on the helm. No big-box excursion this, but an amphibious city tour, thanks to San Juan Mini Boats.Explore

Book Your Day Pass at Casa de Campo

November 17, 2018 - by Elizabeth Kerr

Despite the ongoing lure of the deep blue Caribbean seas, a day pass at La Marina at the Casa de Campo resort is worth squeezing into your itinerary. You’re already in the Caribbean…your next destination won’t mind if you arrive a day or so late. Mañana. Mañana.

Not all marinas are created equal and this one certainly stands out. But you have to reserve ahead if you want to really enjoy all that the 370-slip La Marina has to offer. Renowned as one of the best billfishing spots in the world, La Marina attracts the most serious of the serious from February through June who come to catch a prized blue marlin, mahi mahi, or yellow fin tuna so plan to visit from November to January to ensure a good spot.Explore

Dominica – Where Nature Reigns and Adventure Prevails

October 23, 2018 - by Elizabeth Kerr

Dominica has been on “the” list for quite some time now and when I actually get to do something on “the” list, my heart skips a beat!

Although Dominica still remains somewhat off-the-beaten track for boaters, it is located right in the middle of the chain of Caribbean islands and can be easily accessed from Antigua and Guadeloupe to the north or Martinique and St. Lucia to the south. Chartering boats from any of these islands is easy.

Dominica’s best anchorage is Prince Rupert Bay in the north, off the town of Portsmouth – a popular destination for yachts. And although the marine services are sketchy here, a quick ship-to-shore call to Andrew O’Brien (fondly known as Cobra) will provide you with whatever you need from custom and immigration clearance, provisioning, transportation and access to yacht services nearby.Explore

Antigua – The Hub of Caribbean Charters

January 21, 2018 - by Elizabeth Kerr

It’s just so easy to get to Antigua with direct flights offered by Air Canada and West Jet several days a week in season, Antigua also offers one of the best kick-off points for exploring so many other Caribbean islands…if you have the time and the winds are prevailing in the right direction.

However, don’t get me wrong. There’s lots to do in Antigua and since it’s pretty much a year-round destination, you could customize your charter vacation by planning it around Antigua Sailing Week in late April or the annual carnival in late July.Explore

A Cuban Circumnavigation

October 16, 2017 - by Melody Wren

I boarded the Celestyal Crystal ship in Havana, after a tour of the city in a 1950 red and white Chevy convertible, one of 70,000 classic American cars that account for half of the vehicles on the island. After a couple of hours, we reluctantly left Lucito, our driver and his grandfather’s car and strolled around Old Town Havana. I dearly wished I had more time there to explore the cafes, shops and see more of the faded elegant beauty of the historic buildings. But the ship was waiting.Explore

Nevis – The Land of Stillness

May 8, 2017 - by Elizabeth Kerr

We are taking off from Antigua and are tightly belted into our twin-engine, seven-seater Britten-Norman Islander – operated by Fly Monserrat and captained by John, formerly pilot to the Toronto Blue Jays. Minutes later, we catch site of our tiny destination. To the south lures Montserrat and to the north, St. Kitts, Nevis’ big sister, from where one can fly or take a ferry to the land of stillness.

In traditional Caribbean style, we are greeted by a delightful welcome cocktail, this time of mango juice, rum and cassis and then swept off to our suites overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a view of which I will never ever tire.Explore
