The diverse Leeward Islands span hundreds of beautiful azure-coloured nautical miles. The locales that comprise the Leeward Islands each offer their own unique cultures, cuisines and natural beauty to those on a luxury yacht charter.
Approximately 15 islands are embraced within the Leeward Islands. From north to south, visit Anguilla, Saint Martin, Saint-Barthélemy, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Barbuda, Antigua, Redonda, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, la Désirade, Îles des Saintes and Marie-Galante. Many of these islands have been colonies of the West Indians, Dutch, French and British at some point along the way, and these international influences continue to be a part of the laid-back island lifestyle.
Saint-Barthélemy is a famous playground of the elite jet set and superyacht fraternity, with fine dining, spas and luxury resorts gracing every corner, and the larger island of Saint Martin offers both a Dutch and French vibe. In Saint Martin, the sophisticated town of Marigot is filled with luxury boutiques and fantastic beachfront restaurants.
Saint Kitts and Nevis are two of the most breathtakingly beautiful islands in the Leeward chain. Sumptuously warm seas lap peacefully onto white-sand beaches and monkeys swing from the trees of its rainforests. The yachting infrastructure of Saint Kitts has been excelled in recent years due to the creation of Christophe Harbour, arguably now one of the world’s leading luxury superyacht marinas.
Antigua is a well-known stop for many yachts during the winter Caribbean season. History is everywhere, the famous Nelson’s Dockyard is not to be missed and the views from Shirley Heights are second to none. A reef littered with wrecks can be found just off the coast, providing ample diving opportunities.
Leeward Islands offer some of the most spectacular and luxurious opportunities for anyone visiting the area on a superyacht, whether at anchor or in one of the marinas. Take your pick of charter vacation styles from wild natural beauty to high-end luxury living and relaxation.
