The Caribbean is a sailor's dream, with its steady breezes, beautiful islands, and fascinating history. Sailing as a family only makes the experience richer.

It's intended as a resource for sailing families of all types, whether you're kicking back during a week-long charter, setting sail on the adventure of a lifetime, or hosting the grandkids on your liveaboard during their school vacation.
