Why you should visit the Caribbean at least once in a life
The Caribbean islands include more than 7 thousand islands and cays stretching for 1,500 miles between two American continents. These islands are considered to be among the safest in the world. Here, transitions usually take several hours, although there are longer distances, too.
How to get
There are airports on most major islands in the Caribbean. For example: New Providence (Bahamas), San Juan (Puerto Rico), Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), Havana (Cuba), Montego Bay (Jamaica), Port Of -Spain (Trinidad and Tobago), Aruba, Pont-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe), Bridgetown (Barbados), Port-de-France (Martinique) and others. If there are no direct flights, there are always regular flights here from London or the USA.
The communication language
The main language of communication is English, but you can also meet:
- Spanish (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico)
- French (Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin)
- Dutch (Curacao, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba, Aruba, Sint Maarten).
Although there are plenty of tourists in the season and English is familiar to most locals here.
Visas
- All of the 13 independent states do not require a visa. Also, it is not needed on the Turks and Caicos, a British territory.
- You need a US visa on the territory of the United States.
- You need a Schengen visa on the territory of the Netherlands.
- In France, you need a Schengen visa issued by the French Embassy.
- British territories. A visa for Montserrat is available via the Internet. You need a British visa for Anguilla and the Cayman Islands. For the British Virgin Islands, you need to get a special visa at the British Embassy.
- If you have a visa-free passport for the EU, the same rules apply in the Caribbean for the same periods.
- Travelers deciding to make a yacht rental in the Caribbean are recommended to make one visa for an island where the journey starts. It is not necessary to do a visa for the rest of the islands, you can get it when sailing to a certain one.
- Please note that you should have a return ticket and money with you when entering the territory of any state. The specific amount must be found on the websites of the embassies of the countries to which you are going.
Sailing tips
Before hiring charter boat in the Caribbean, notice marinas where you could have replenished supplies of food, water and fuel. Most of the islands are not populated and you need to choose carefully the places that could provide such services. Sailing yachts have a greater advantage in the region: the lack of fuel does not threaten them. Just be sure you have enough water or get your own desalinator.
Marinas
There are strong ebbs and flows in the Caribbean with coral reefs scraping yacht bottoms. That is the reason only a few large islands in the area have got marinas. Most of island parkings are mooring buoys you need to pay for.
