Bareboat Destinations

Why limit yourself to that comfortable old bareboating destination that you cruise every year, those regular BVI bare-boaters know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s a whole world of new places to explore on this lovely planet of ours and I’d love to introduce you to a more global concept of chartering in a different place every year, well  maybe not EVERY year, but certainly to think outside the box when it comes to great sailing destinations. We can help you select the right boat in the right place at the right time.

First, let’s think about what is it that makes a great bareboat or crewed yacht destination great? How about this definition: Lot’s of little islands to visit, a steady wind, clear water with good anchorages, great food, and neat little restaurants and bars, good snorkeling and SCUBA diving, friendly natives and no pirates.  How’s that for a definition?

Well, you’ll not be surprised to know that these conditions exist in a lot of places around the world. Make no mistake, the BVI, St. Maarten and the Grenadines are superb destinations and are very popular for a reason.  However, thinking outside the Caribbean for a minute, let’s think of other places that are incredible sailing destinations as well:

Think of the Baltic Sea, as an extreme example, did you know that there is a marvelous archipelago of little islands just outside Stockholm, Sweden? Very seasonal of course, you have to pick and choose the date carefully, definitely a new and exciting experience.  Let’s not forget the classic Mediterranean destinations in the Greek Islands, Turkey, Croatia, Sicily and the West coast of Italy, Corsica and Sardinia, even Spain’s Balearic Islands of Mallorca and Menorca.

Moving away from the European destinations, we can think about the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean that offer the perfect conditions we defined earlier. Let’s also talk about the South Pacific with it’s incredible islands and waters around Tahiti, Bora Bora, the Kingdom of Tonga, Australia and New Zealand.

Why not Thailand’s Phuket and Malaysia’s Langkawi? These are some of the most inviting places in the world that clearly meet the criteria we established earlier.

Moving closer to home, did you ever think of the Sea of Cortes in Mexico’s Baja California, spectacular views and amazing wildlife..! How about the Bahamas, Sea of Abaco with it’s lovely little brightly colored villages and clear waters?  Brazil’s Angra dos Reis?

There is a whole world of bareboating experiences to be enjoyed – let us lead you to the waters……
