St. Kitts Sailing Travel Tips

By Travel Expert: Carrie Nathans

  • Sail the scenic coastline on a catamaran, touring secluded coves, snorkel sites, and quiet beaches.
  • Discover Saint Kitts alongside marine biologist Miles Denne, captain of the 41-foot sloop Feisty.
  • Gauge your sailing expertise before exploring the Caribbean waters. Novice navigators can take a bareboat chartering course to sharpen their skills.
  • Cruise comfortably in warm, breezy climes throughout fall and spring. Low humidity and northeast trade winds make summer highs very bearable.
