Exploring the Caribbean on a Yacht
The Canouan Island is an idyllic Caribbean Island complete with white sandy beaches, lush tropical forests, mountainous topography and world class holiday resorts. Being a tiny island in the Grenadines belonging to St. George. Vincent, the Canouan Island is an unspoilt tropical paradise. Being a tiny island measuring only 3 miles across, its capital Charlestown is actually more like a village.
The barrier reef which runs along the Atlantic Ocean side of the island is popular among tourists as a great place to go scuba diving. The coral reef is teeming with marine life and the crystal clear water allows great visibility for divers. Just off the coast of Canouan Island on the Atlantic Ocean are five uninhabited islands known as the Tobago Cays. These islands are world renowned for snorkeling and diving and since there is almost no human activity here, the marine eco system is largely undisturbed.
Another interesting place to visit is the Canouan -The Moorings. It's a romantic little marina that is placed right in the heart of the Grenadines in the Caribbean. Known as a favorite destination among yachtsmen all over the world the aquamarine waters of the sea off Canouan is far too tempting to pass by. All most all the anchorages of the Caribbean are within range and a diverse array of locations are available for avid sea explorers to choose from. Among the choices are the isles of Bequia and Mystique, Bequia which are home to the villas of a number of famous celebrities while the enchanted beauty of Mystique's deserted beaches is simply breathtaking.
The tropical weather, the warm temperature experienced in the Caribbean and the steady north east to south east winds ensure that your sailing adventures go smoothly. Also for those who wish to explore lands that lie a bit further away, chartered trips can be arranged to st. Lucia and Grenada islands.
For tourists that wish to indulge in an idyllic Caribbean sailing vacation booking in to a Caribbean resort on Canouan Island would be a great way to start off the proceedings.
