CARIBBEAN


Beach Bay on the south west coast of the island, south of the capital city of Roseau and immediately north of the boundaries of the (SSMR) Soufiere Scottshead Marine Reserve.”What do I love most about my island? The nature and natural sites of the island...which sync with the friendliness of its people. The very strong heritage and cultural background that make us who we are!” You don’t want to miss the diving, snorkelling and whale watching in this spot of the world.


St. Maarten Simon Manley, from Shore Support hitchhiked/sailed to the island 30 years ago, and captained yachts between the Caribbean and the US East coast for a few years before staying for a summer and really enjoying it. He says, “I got a challenging and interesting job as the Caribbean Manager for Sunsail and the Moorings which kept me travelling throughout the islands


but using St Maarten/St Martin as my home base.” His favourite two locations are two of the Anguillas outer islands – Dog Island and Scrub Island. He also suggests a climb up the active volcano Mount Scenery (887m) on Saba Island. Saba is Dutch and Mount Scenery is the highest point of the entire Netherlands. Pre-hurricane Irma, the St.Martin would have about 400 yachts over 80ft visiting the area and this year Manley expects about 75% of that. Says Manley, “I love the diversity of the region. It’s cosmopolitan with French, Dutch, Antillean etc and also diverse with peaceful and relatively remote spots, busy St Maarten, and classy and chic St Barths.”


Antigua


Nick Line, Managing Director of Anchor Concierge & Super Yacht Services Ltd at Falmouth Harbour Marina didn’t know where Antigua was when he answered a


ANTIGUA IS STILL A VERY TYPICAL CARIBBEAN ISLAND AND NOT SPOILT BY HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT. IT HAS SOME GREAT ANCHORAGES AND SHELTERED BAYS, ALONG WITH STUNNING VIEWS AND A HISTORY


job advert in 1987. He spent a stint in Spain before returning again in 2004. It’s hard to name a favourite spot, there are too many and the islands are too diverse to compare; The British, the Dutch, the French and the US Virgin Islands. But he knows why he loves Antigua, ‘It is still a very typical Caribbean island and not spoilt by high rise development. It has some great anchorages and sheltered bays, along with stunning views and a great history.”


St. Vincent & the Grenadines St.Vincent, says Samuel Andrews of Sam Taxi Tours Ltd, is a lush green island, very sunny, inhabited by friendly people.
