Plotting a Caribbean itinerary
If your sailing dream involves white,
sandy beaches on tropical islands,
colourful harbours and coral reefs,
this event will help you turn it into
reality. You could visit the real-life
inspiration behind Treasure Island
in the British Virgin Islands, dive
wrecks in the Bahamas and snorkel
through the clear blue waters of
St Martin. Alternatively, explore
the Mayan ruins and rainforests of
Belize, find a spectacular beach for
every day of the year in Antigua,
harness the warm trade winds of
Grenada or discover the mountainous
beauty of St Lucia.
Thinking of the Mediterranean?
Sailing this region is the ideal
way to enjoy ancient history,
beautiful scenery and great food
and wine. Savour all three, whether
you’re shoring up on the islands
along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast,
island-hopping in Greece’s Ionian
Islands or admiring Italy’s stunning
Amalfi Coast.
Help with the logistics
Whether you want to charter a yacht
and plot your own course, have a
sailing professional take the helm
while you relax, or join a family-
friendly flotilla, there will be plenty
of recommendations to help you
organise the ultimate sailing trip.
Panelists will advise on choosing a
boat for your trip, what to pack and
how to pick the best destination
— whether you’re seeking family
time, wild adventure, a romantic
break or winter sun.
Moderated by a member of the
National Geographic Traveller
(UK) team, Travel Geeks events
are an hour long and offer the
chance to hear from experts.
Ask your own questions and
join the discussion with other
travel enthusiasts.
