The World’s Greatest Island-Hopping Destination?

Reasons to visit The Antilles

The World’s Greatest Island-Hopping Destination?

Of course you’re not fooled by the distinction between ‘Greater’ and ‘Lesser’ Antilles. There are world top-10 sailing destinations in both, all offering astonishing marine environments and immense cultural variety. Whatever your pleasure, Y.CO can take you there: from wild annual carnivals to pristine reefs, sport-fishing grounds and forested ‘desert’ islands. Fancy more action? Toys and tenders – from high-performance to wave-powered – are always available for adventures away from the ‘mothership.’ Here are three more reasons to book a Y.CO Antilles yacht charter.

REASONS TO VISIT

WHY WE LOVE ANTILLES

Blue Hole Wonders

The Bahamas’ legendary blue holes offer a unique playground for yacht adventurers seeking underwater secrets. Dive into these dramatic underwater sinkholes—some hundreds of feet deep—teeming with rare marine life and mysterious caverns waiting to be explored.

Cultural Currents

The Antilles weave a vibrant tapestry of culture, history, and natural beauty across the Caribbean, where colorful markets, colonial towns, lush rainforests, and coral reefs await your yacht’s exploration. Journey from Martinique’s French charm to Antigua’s endless beaches, enjoying local festivals, fresh cuisine, and shimmering turquoise waters.

Your Guide to The Antilles

Trinidad and Tobago Carnival

Trinidad and Tobago Carnival
Trinidad and Tobago Carnival

This must be the greatest party in The Antilles. Raging over the Monday and Tuesday before Lent, it turns Port of Spain into a joyful riot of colour and noise. A mashup of European carnival tradition and Afro-Caribbean music and ritual, the streets ring to soca, calypso and steel drums. Fantastically feathered masquerade bands bash out happy sounds for two rum-fuelled days. Your Y.CO charter is the perfect place for spontaneous private parties.

Havana, Cuba
Havana, Cuba

Who doesn’t dream of dropping anchor in Marina Hemingway and frocking up to explore one of the most charismatic cities in the Americas? Seven scenic waterside kilometres of the Malecón. A disproportionate number of museums and galleries. Grandiose colonial architecture and historic bars, Havana just can’t disappoint. Y.CO charters lets you begin your exploration of the enigma that is Cuba right here, in its passionate heart. 

Buck Island Reef National Monument

Don’t divers love to flap their fins where few others can? Buck Island Reef National Monument, 19,000 acres of protected habitat just north of St Croix in the US Virgin Islands, is just what they’re after. It’s a marine Eden of gorgeous coral teeming with over 250 species of fish. Y.CO charters can introduce you to them, plus rays, sharks and rare Hawksbills, which nest at Turtle Beach every summer.
