The Leeward Island chain is situated half way down the eastern Caribbean chain and is one of the most well known luxury yacht locations. Throughout the Leeward Islands, you'll find an intriguing blend of cultures. For instance, Les Saintes holds a taste of France, a quaint Dutch influence is prevalent in the southern parts of St Maartin, and Antigua of course, is unmistakably British. A yacht charter holiday in the Leeward Islands provides majestic tropical landscapes, sparkling waters, powdery white beaches, the exotic cuisine of St Maartin and the lively nightlife of Antigua. The nature lover will not be disappointed with the beauty of St. Kitts and Nevis where the surreal atmosphere is a naturally intoxicating blend of sunshine, fresh sea air and rich vegetation. Both islands are crowned with spectacular cloud-ringed peaks and are covered with tropical forests and brilliant flowers. The Leewards begin with Nevis, St Kitts, St Barts and St Maartin in the north, Antigua and Barbuda in the middle and the islands of Montserrat and Guadeloupe to the south.
