Bareboat Charter Sailing the British Virgin Islands…

British Virgin Islands

Drifting across the waters at a leisurely place, you’ve got no specific time frame and no necessary destinations.

There’s no guide telling you about the surroundings and no mandatory dinner where you have to interact with complete strangers.

You’re sailing in the British Virgin Island and you’re in complete control. You wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sail Bocas del Toro, Panama

Sail Bocas del Toro, Panama

It’s obvious why Bocas del Toro has been popular amongst travelers for some time now.

Beautiful beaches, remote islands, lush jungles, and mangroves that line the tropical turquoise waters make it a complete Caribbean paradise.

While many of the island activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and visiting remote islands can be done on your own…

another great option is to join a sailing tour…Continue

Sailing Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia

Sailing Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia

Imagine 74 islands – with less than two miles (3.4km) between most of them – spread across Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in a glorious expanse of coral, sapphire blue waters and postcard-perfect beaches and maybe… just maybe… your imagination rivals the idyllic reality of the Whitsundays.

Maybe.

But imagination does funny things. It conjures images that, well, just ain’t so. For example, you’d probably imagine palm trees and coconuts…

… but that just ain’t so.

Seriously. The islands consist of pine and eucalyptus forest, as well as a surprising collection of rock-rock-rocky coastlines (sand is somewhat of a premium here).

Several resorts offer nearly every outdoor activity imaginable: water skiing, scuba diving and parasailsilng are just a sample on what’s to do in this widespread, undeniably beautiful section of the Great Barrier Reef.Continue

Sail the R. Tucker Thompson; Bay of Islands, New Zealand

Sail the R. Tucker Thompson; Bay of Islands, New Zealand

Scenic coastal regions are often best viewed aboard a ship.  The vessel can take visitors to a number of different areas, unhindered by natural obstacles.  Ships can also provide visitors with the comforts of a warm meal, a soft seat, and an informative guide.

If you’re going to spend all day at sea, checking out the sites, it may as well be on a tall ship.  To take a historic voyage in New Zealand, look no further than the R. Tucker ThompsonContinue

High Sea Adventure in Cape Town, Africa

Cape Town, South Africa

The word “ayoba” will get you far in South Africa.

It’s an expression of joy and excitement – like saying “it’s all good” or “cool” – and translates across the country’s many cultures, tribes, and 11 official languages.  It’s also used for Hello and Goodbye.

Nowhere are the good vibes easier to come by than Cape Town, which features southern Africa’s best infrastructure, finest culture, and crazy parties.

But the most heart-pounding adventures in “the Mother City” are not to be found in the pulsating clubs on Long Street.

To earn your stripes, you’ll need to set sail into her choppy seas, unveiling some jaw-dropping views and world-class boating along the way – not to mention some great white sharks…Continue

Outdoor City; Perth, Australia

Perth, Australia

Like the outdoors? Cities? Tall, athletic blondes who enjoy BBQ and sports?

Then look no further than Perth. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate and cool offshore breezes – both from the Indian Ocean and Swan River – it’s considered by many as Australia’s outdoor capital. You can walk along the beach, cycle its waterfront, scuba, surf or sail… in Perth, the choice is up to you.

Below are four activities which will keep you busy for several days…Continue

Island Life; Likoma Island, Malawi

Likoma Island, Malawi

There is a certain quality that makes islands a desirable destination.  Perhaps it’s the concept of isolation.  Or maybe its the extensive shoreline.  Either way, islands will continue to draw both romantics and adventurers.

When looking for an island that combines privacy and activity, consider the Malawian region of Likoma.Continue

Sailing Lake Balaton, Hungary

Sailing Lake Balaton, Hungary

As long legged, bikini clad supermodels lay bronzing at the bow, you (as the captain) stand behind the wheel as a cool summer breeze washes over your face.  Pure heaven.

While the supermodels might be a slight exaggeration, the rest can easily be yours, and for a price that will make your jaw drop and may even have you forgetting about girls for a second.Continue
