Where is the best place to go boating? Well, in the words of Indiana Jones, the Holy Grail — of boating holidays, that is — is the Caribbean. Did you know there are more than 5,000 islets, islands, and cays, some of the best weather on the planet, and an endless supply of tropical sea species? Chartering a boat with Nautal opens up the waters of the world — but let’s just dive into the Caribbean for now and explore boating the high seas of the Caribbean.
One of the first itinerary items that come to mind for travelers boating through this area is pretty obvious — island hopping. It’s not just a great way to pass time; it’s a true adventure. Who knows? You may find yourself sailing past an uninhabited island and decide to drop anchor for a bit.
One such island, Salt Cay, isn’t truly uninhabited, but it’s so sparsely populated that you might think it was. There’s a tiny village on Salt Cay, as well as a restaurant and one bar. It’s an odd experience of perfect isolation at the end of the world, but with some locals to get to know. Salt Cay isn’t the only island that’s just like this — there are plenty. But you’ll also find your share of larger, populous islands with a vibe all their own, like the Bahamas’ Staniel Cay.
Surrounding these islands are some of the most beautiful waters on the planet, with white sands skirting their edges. With so many islands to choose from, how do you choose the best beach in the Caribbean? Trick question: You don’t. Instead, you have fun getting to know why they’re all in the running.
But, if locals and visitors to Turks and Caicos have their way, the best beach would be Grace Bay. Over four miles of white sands and a coral reef just offshore. Because this is one of the Caribbean’s best beaches, expect to book your accommodations in advance.
