bvi sailing trip


The tourist image of the Caribbean Sea and its islands has always been and still is brilliant. When the magic word Caribbean comes up, many Europeans get bright eyes. Immediately think of dream islands with wonderful beaches and warm air as well as water temperatures.

What they still like to think about is getting around by ship - in order to get to know as many islands as possible. Especially in the European cold season, the Caribbean is the ultimate cruise destination. When the hurricanes have let off steam, major shipping companies send their small floating towns to the islands. To St. Lucia, Sint Maarten and Antigua. So to where the XXL pots with their ever-increasing depth can still moor. If you are traveling with smaller boats, you will of course find many more islands and beaches. So Evistrip's tip is: Off to a sailing boat - whether small or large, spartan or luxuriously furnished, whether as a self-drive or a passenger.


Sailing without a sailing license


Good to know: Non-sailing license holders do not have to despair - there is a remedy, namely professional skippers who sail you through the waters with a crew of friends or others. Practical: You can sail with a travel agency, but you don't have to worry about the technical and organizational issues. Unless you are interested in active navigation, sailing and hauling in sails. There are, of course, enough other interesting aspects of a Caribbean cruise: The warm water invites you to swim, the colorful beaches to sunbathe, the lively music culture from reggae to calypso to dance along.


Pirates and divers


The region between Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela is also a melting pot of cuisines, religions and festivals. They can be quite big. In Trinidad, for example, the second largest carnival in the world is celebrated. The shore excursions are also celebrated, be it to volcanic peaks or small, nice colonial villages. Yes, and if all this is not exciting enough, just dive into the water: Shallows, storms and pirate attacks have turned the Caribbean floor into veritable ship cemeteries in many places. This is where underwater archaeologists really enjoy diving!

"Normal" divers are similarly enthusiastic about the Caribbean, because nowhere in the entire Atlantic is there such a high concentration of life forms. And anyone who has ever been able to experience the fabulous backdrop of coral forests and coral mountains underwater, with schools of colorful fish and sea anemones in between, will not forget this adventure anytime soon. Conclusion: The Caribbean is really turning on. And those who travel by sailing ship between Jamaica, the British Virgin Islands and Tobago will experience the most beautiful and varied areas in the world.
