Featured BVI Island: Anegada

bvi anegada

The endless beaches of Anegada

If you are seeking a retreat to the exotic, or you want to literally get away from it all, you should spend a few days on Anegada.

 

The only of the BVI islands that is flat, Anegada was formed by the barrier reef unlike its southern neighbors, which are of volcanic origin. The highest point of the island reaches only 28 feet above sea level, which is probably how it received its name, which means “drowned land” in Spanish.

 

A BVI yacht charter to Anegada will take about two hours, but it is well worth the trip. The island itself is protected by the Horseshoe Reef, the largest coral reef, making it a great destination for snorkelers. Divers enjoy the area because of possibility to explore any of the three hundred recorded ship wrecks. An amazing amount of unique flora and fauna can be found here, such as the Anegada rock iguana, Caribbean roseate flamingoes, and wild orchids.

 

The few hundred island natives live off the ocean and enjoy the quirky lifestyle that living on this distinctive paradise requires.

Featured Island: Salt Island, BVI

BVI Yacht charter

Rhone Wreck at Salt Island

A BVI Yacht charter is the perfect way to spend your holiday, and Salt Island in the British Virgin Islands has some of the best diving sites around. The island was named after the salt ponds, which are by the settlement at Salt Island Bay. The area was once used to mine salt for the British Royal Navy.

However, the island’s biggest attraction is the Wreck of the Rhone. The Rhone was one of the first iron ships ever built. It was graceful-looking, yet powerful. In 1867, it was caught in a hurricane and sunk. Today it is one of the most popular diving sites in the Caribbean. You’ll see schools of friendly fish, coral reefs, and sponges. The wreck is easily accessible – both inside and out.

Take a BVI catamaran charter to Salt Island and enjoy the best snorkeling and even better scuba diving on the most fabulous vacation ever.

Caribbean Yacht Charters: The Freedom of Choice

Caribbean yacht charter

St. Lucia in the Caribbean

If you have your heart set on a Caribbean cruise, you might want to reconsider. The Caribbean has crystal blue waters, white sand beaches, and palm trees that reach for the clear blue skies. So why should you reconsider? It’s not the destination that you must think about. It’s the vehicle. Instead, choose a Caribbean yacht charter and choose freedom.

 

While cruise ships do sail to the best destinations in the world, they follow a preset route. If a cruise ship docks at a port, and another cruise ship is already there, you can be certain that lines will be long, stores will be crowded, and all of the best spots on the beach will be taken. But if you take a motor boat in the Caribbean, you will have the freedom of choice. Choose to head to a secluded island. Choose to leave port early when the cruise ship is still on the horizon. Choose to beat the crowds and capture that sweet place on the beach or stake claim to the best art piece in the store.

 

Instead of planning a cruise, take control of your vacation with a Caribbean
