Sailing in the Caribean sea is fantastic, as it is well known for its relative calmness, making it ideal for smaller sailing vessels.

Firstly you will need to decide what size vessel you and your party will require, the sailing boats vary in size from 4 birth upwards. You then have the option of a single hull vessel or a catamaran. The single hull sailing boat offers the more seasoned sailor the traditional sailing experience. Demand for catamarans has increased substantially over recent years, and with good reason. Sailing in the Caribean couldnt be more comfortable, they offer much more stability and are therefore more suitable for novice sailors and those that suffers from sea sickness. You will also find the twin hulls offer more space and privacy, as well as having a more shallow draft, this allows you access to many private beaches other boats cant reach!
