Sailing with the warm summer trade winds, aromatic spices and Dutch island charm.
Snorkellers’ paradise in the Tobago Cays
A unique feature of the Tobago Cays is their unspoilt coral reef, known as the “Horseshoe Reef” due to its shape. It keeps the Atlantic swells at bay and is the perfect place for snorkelling. Once back on dry land, you will be treated to a beach barbecue with culinary specialities.
Idyllic sailing along the trade winds
In winter and spring the Caribbean trade winds provide ideal speeds and perfect stability, while delivering extremely pleasant air and water temperatures. The many hours out at sea will turn into a real joy for the tall ship, and a delight for those looking to enjoy freedom beneath the sails. All this in stunning waters.
A delight for all the senses: Grenada, the island of spice
There is a reason why nutmeg is immortalised on this country’s national fl ag. Since colonial times nutmeg – along with cloves, cinnamon and ginger – has been one of the island’s most important exports. If the aromatic fragrance of the tropics were to have a name, it would have to be “Grenada”.
The natural beauty of Bonaire
Bonaire is a true paradise for nature lovers. While the breathtaking view on land features craggy coastlines, extraordinary cactus deserts, winding mangrove forests, shocking pink fl amingoes and gorgeous beaches, underwater quite another magical world unfolds. This Dutch island’s brightly coloured coral reefs are amongst the best snorkelling sites in the world.
