Sandy coves.
Rainforests. Beach parties. Regattas.
Lost treasure to savvy sailors, the Leewards are an emerald string between the Caribbean and Atlantic. Anguilla's reggae, Antigua's history, Sint Eustachius' dive paradise, St Kitts' luxury. Whatever you crave, your Y.CO luxury yacht can sate it.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE LEEWARD ISLANDS
DESERT ISLANDS AND DIVING HAVENS
Seriously, the Leewards are ridden with secluded sensations. Nevis and Barbuda are uncut beauties off the beaten track. Chic, French-accented St Bart’s hides jewels like Governor’s Beach – its porcelain sands broken only by turtles and the occasional naked sunbather. St Croix has two of the world’s few bioluminescent bays, lit by blue-glow plankton. Want more reasons to steer your Y.CO yacht for the Leewards? You’ll love these three.

Sensational Saba
Never heard of dramatic, volcanic Saba? Few have, yet the hiking and diving are out of this world. Hikers head straight for the island’s crown – Mount Scenery. Officially the highest point in The Netherlands, this 867m volcano offers drop-jaw views of the cloud forest and coast below. Or anchor your Y.CO luxury yacht in inaccessible Saba Marine Park. Divers love formations like The Pinnacles, patrolled by triggerfish, turtles and rays.

Tie up in Nelson’s Dockyard
Sail your Y.CO charter back to 1745. Named for the British Admiral, this Unesco-protected, working marina is Antigua’s top sight. Immaculately restored Georgian buildings now house restaurants and museums. Hiking trails radiate into national park territory thick with wild tamarind and yellow dancing lady orchids. Love a regatta? Antigua Sailing Week lures 150-200 racing yachts here each March. Add on-land parties and you’ve got one of the world’s great boat races.

Protected Perfection: Prickly Pear Cays
More beautiful than Anguilla’s beaches? You’d better believe it. Two cruisy beachside bars are the only human structures on these white-sand cays. Beyond that, it’s just the terns, warblers and sea turtles of the protected Marine Sanctuary. Trust your Y.CO charter captain to find the perfect anchorage. Explore by tender and uncover your ideal, camera-ready deserted beach. Or flop overboard to swim the vibrant reef with the goatfish and grunts.
