Caribbean Yachting Discovery

Your memorable voyage begins in St. John's, the capital of Caribbean dual island-nation, Antigua and Barbuda. Here, you'll be transferred to your Emerald luxury yacht to embark on your magical discovery of the Caribbean.

Today, you'll cruise to the southwestern shores and lush hills of St. Kitts for Basseterre, the vibrant capital of dual-island nation, St. Kitts and Nevis. One of the oldest towns in the Eastern Caribbean, Basseterre's colonial history is reflected in the striking architecture of several buildings, including Georgian structures that date back to the British colonial era. The bustling harbour area is particularly noteworthy, providing a picturesque backdrop for the port city and a fascinating place to explore.

Welcome to Îles des Saintes, known as Les Saintes, a small group of eight tropical islands with a distinctive French and Caribbean cultural fusion, within the Guadeloupe archipelago. Discover the island's quaint villages, with their collection of petite stone buildings and small, white sand beaches. Don't miss a visit to Fort Napoleon, a significant historical site that offers incredible views of one of the islands.

Located on the northwest shores of Guadeloupe, this picturesque village is renowned for its traditional fishing community atmosphere, colourful Creole architecture, and stunning beaches, framed by verdant hills. Along with the amiable locals, lively markets and mouthwatering French-Caribbean cuisine, not surprisingly, Deshaies has emerged as a popular tourist destination, which you can discover for yourself today.

The capital of the chic Caribbean Island of Saint Barthélemy, Gustavia was named after Sweden's King Gustav III, who boldly declared it his own exclusive island getaway in 1785. In this vibrant town, uncover distinctive treasures in the historic downtown shopping enclave and photograph the brightly painted, old wooden houses. Gustavia is also known for its gourmet dining, so be sure to feast on the delicious cuisine, a unique fusion of French and Creole culinary influences.

Welcome to the Island of Virgin Gorda, named after its resemblance to a reclining woman and part of the exquisite British Virgin Islands. Virgin Gorda is popular for its laid-back Caribbean lifestyle, picturesque landscapes and its incredible natural wonders. The most famous of all are The Baths, a series of pools and grottoes created by a collection of massive granite boulders shaped over millions of years by volcanic activity and erosion.

Renowned for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vivid marine life, Norman Island offers a natural playground for a diverse range of activities, including hiking trails and caves to explore. The island is also steeped in pirate lore, with local legend claiming that this was a favourite hiding spot for pirates to bury their treasure; hence, why it is nicknamed ‘Treasure Island' by locals and visitors alike. Without doubt, this is a wonderful destination for those seeking a tranquil and alluring tropical getaway.

Your Emerald luxury voyage concludes in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the historic capital and oldest European-founded city in the Americas. After bidding farewell to the crew and your fellow guests from the yacht, you'll be transferred to the airport for your return flight home or to continue your journey.
