Central America
From Mexico’s Pacific coast to the coral reefs and tropical cayes of Belize, Central America offers a fascinating mix of sailing, culture and adventure. A Central America yacht charter combines warm waters with dramatic coastlines, pristine beaches, colourful coastal communities, ancient Mayan heritage and some of the region’s richest marine environments. Explore the rugged Pacific coast of Mexico, with its secluded bays, desert landscapes and abundant marine life, or venture into the remote cayes and world-class reef systems of Belize. With tropical conditions, diverse cruising grounds and plenty to discover ashore, sailing in Central America offers an exciting alternative to the more established Caribbean yacht charter destinations.
Belize*
A wild Caribbean coastline, hundreds of tropical cayes and the second-largest barrier reef in the world make Belize an exceptional destination for adventurous sailors. A Belize yacht charter offers easy access to pristine coral reefs, deserted islands and crystal-clear waters, with world-class snorkelling and diving often just a short swim from the boat. Sail between the palm-fringed cayes, explore the vibrant marine life of the Belize Barrier Reef, or head ashore to experience the country’s distinctive mix of Caribbean, Central American and Mayan influences. With warm temperatures, sheltered cruising grounds and remarkably untouched scenery, sailing in Belize offers a more remote and adventurous alternative to the better-known Caribbean yacht charter destinations.
Sailing season: November through June
The Belize Barrier Reef is the second-largest coral reef system in the world, making Belize the top Caribbean sailing destination for diving!
Mexico (Pacific Coast)
Desert landscapes, crystal-clear waters and an extraordinary abundance of marine life make La Paz one of Mexico’s most distinctive sailing destinations. A La Paz yacht charter explores the dramatic coastline of the Baja California Peninsula and the islands of the Sea of Cortez, where rugged mountains meet calm turquoise bays. Swim with sea lions, snorkel in secluded coves, watch for whales and dolphins, or anchor beneath the spectacular desert scenery of the Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida. With warm sunshine, sheltered cruising grounds and a remarkable sense of wilderness, sailing in La Paz and the Sea of Cortez offers an adventurous alternative to the classic tropical yacht charter.
