The romantic Leeward Islands present a unique blend of European and Caribbean culture and heritage. French, English and Dutch settlers all left behind their influence, blended with the local cultures; each island presents its own gem in the sea. Miles of scenic coastlines and beaches are nestled at the foot of the verdant volcanic peaks, ashore nightlife and fine food awaits all sailing travelers.

Heading west from Antigua you will soon arrive at St. Kitts and Nevis. The islands have maintained much of the architecture from the plantation days with an old British fort located on Brimstone Hill. Continuing up the chain you will arrive at St. Eustatia of the Netherland Antilles. At one time Statia was the trade capital of the West Indies but today is a quiet and beautiful place to spend a day.

Continuing on we come to Saba, also of the Netherland Antilles, a 3000 foot peak sitting on a five square mile island. Saba has become known for its scuba diving yet its beauty lies in its quiet community of cobblestone streets and red roofed homes.

Next Island up the chain is St. Barthelemy now known as a sailing destination and is often referred to as the “ Riviera of the Caribbean. Northeast of St. Bart's is St. Martin, half French and half Dutch, known for duty free shopping and international air travel. St. Martin is an excellent departure point from your charter.

Just north of St. Martin is the lovely Anguilla, an island surrounded by pristine beaches and coral reefs for explorers.

For a longer sea journey you can head down island from Antigua to Dominica and the French island of Guadeloupe and farther on to Dominica, a true open water sailing experience.
