Whether you are exploring the lush tropical rainforests, full of eco-adventures on St. Vincent, or experiencing the coral reefs and turquoise lagoons of Bequia, this region is worthy of your winter vacation. St. Vincent and Grenada are easily accessible from the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Western Europe via the major airlines and private aircraft. Near the northernmost part of the Caribbean lay the U.S. Virgin Islands—St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John’s. With easy flights into St. Thomas, your winter vacation quickly commences.

December | 50th Annual Antigua Charter Show This broker-only show is the largest event for charter yachts in the Caribbean. Additionally, the majority of the yachts on display will be available for charter in the Med or New England during the Summer. The show gives us a great opportunity to inspect a large number of charter vessels and meet their respective captains and crew.
