It’s time to sail away!~~~ Immerse yourself in the relaxing waves of the Caribbean.

Spring is here and many peple are taking cruising and sailing as a vacation get away. The months of December to March is recognized as the peak season!

Now is the time that thousands of local and international sailors all around the world flock the Leeward Islands and sail its gorgeous waters.

The most perfect yacht season of the year is best done from the months of November to July, but steer clear of these water in July to October. Hurricane season prevails during the summer months.

What comprises The Leeward Islands? Well, they consist of St. Kitts and Nevis, Virgin Islands (American and British), Saint Bartholomew, Montserrat, St. Martin, Dominica, Anguilla, Guadeloupe, Antigua and Barbuda, Saba, and St. Eustatius.

Beware of where the sailing is best and worst. Take on only what you can handle. Because of the Atlantic ocean, the strongest currents and largest waves are most often on the northeastern sides of the islands.

The waters of the Caribbean Sea are normally much calmer and make easier sailing. Average air temperatures range from 72º to 86º F and the water temperatures stay between 68º and 74º F. Talk about some nice temps!

The name Leeward was given to the group of islands because of the trade winds in the region that blows from northwest. These trade winds are almost constant all over the year and blows from 10 to 25 knots. Windsurfing could be fun here!

If you are the captian of your small yacht or sailboat, be sure you know what you are doing. If you do not own your own and would like to sail, but are not quite sea savvy yet, take a Nevis Saling Tour .
