St Kitts & Nevis Yacht Charters
Saint Kitts and Nevis are located in the Leeward Islands and separated by a shallow two-mile channel of water, dubbed “The Narrows.” The islands are of volcanic origin with steep, uninhabited peaks rising from their centers. A tropical rainforest exists in this central zone with rivers flowing down to where the land flattens out by the sea.
The islands offer a wide array of fabulous beaches, including white powder sand beaches, like the one at Cockleshell Bay, and some of the more exotic black sand beaches, such as Dieppe Bay Beach or Pump Bay. Offshore reefs protect the areas to allow for swimming and water sports while also providing colorful marine life to explore while snorkeling. The tropical forest is home to a variety of bird species, making bird watching a popular activity. Although many tourists come to St. Kitts and Nevis to shop, golf, fish, and indulge in one of the many spas.
Activities to enjoy while yacht chartering in St. Kitts and Nevis include:
- Fairview Great House & Botanical Gardens: This 18 th century house has been restored with meticulous detail to its former glory.
- Carib Petroglyphs: These original carvings are a fascinating piece of history. Drawings by the Caribs of their gods are on display at the entrance to the Wingfield Manor Estate.
- The public cistern system throughout St. Kitts is amazingly detailed in each beautifully-cut stone and well-thought out for each community.
- The St. Kitts Scenic Railway Ltd.: Begun in 1910, the train, whose tracks extend over most of the island, is one of the few remaining railroads left in the Caribbean.
- La Guerite Reservoir: The architecture of this 19 th century structure, located in the town of Basseterre, is worth a visit.
- Brimstone Hill Fortress: A national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
However the most popular spot on the island is without dispute is The Strip on Frigate Bay. The open-air dance floor of the Monkey Bar draws a crowd every night and the fine dining restaurant brings a sophisticated side to the club scene. Inon’s Bar draws a younger crowd to its dance floor. However, there are many other hot spots along The Strip that offer a wide range of cuisine, cocktails, music, and fun.
