Wider Caribbean

The wider Caribbean.

More range, more variety and the freedom to choose a week around the islands that suit you.

The region

Different islands. Different pace.

Antigua, St Martin and St Barths, and the Grenadines each lend themselves to a different week. I narrow the area around the people travelling, the dates and the balance they want between time underway, at anchor and ashore.

One possible week

Antigua and Barbuda.

A seven-day example, rather than a default Caribbean route. The actual itinerary would follow the chosen islands, the conditions and your preferred pace.

  1. Day 01

    English Harbour

    Board in English Harbour and keep the first evening local.

  2. Day 02

    English Harbour to Green Island

    Leave in the morning, then spend the afternoon in Nonsuch Bay.

  3. Day 03

    Green Island to Barbuda

    Cross early and spend the afternoon along Barbuda's long beach.

  4. Day 04

    Barbuda

    There is no need to rush. Keep a full day for the water and a quiet night at anchor.

  5. Day 05

    Barbuda to Hermitage Bay

    Return to Antigua's west coast for a slower afternoon.

  6. Day 06

    Hermitage Bay to Carlisle Bay

    Stop for lunch and spend the final evening on the south coast.

  7. Day 07

    Carlisle Bay to English Harbour

    One last swim before returning to English Harbour.

Thinking about the Caribbean?

Tell me who is coming and roughly when. I will come back with a sensible place to start.

Tell me about the trip.

Dates, destination and guest count are enough to start. If the plans are still loose, that's completely fine.
