Dive into Saba Marine Park

Saba has some of the world’s best diving, with a seascape that’s tranquil but full of life. The whole coast is a marine park, and bright corals and sponges, barracudas, octopuses and reef sharks thrive in these clear waters. It’s all waiting for you: flop off the side of your Y.CO luxury charter yacht to explore shallow reef, ridged labyrinths, hot springs and eerie depths.

Hike Mount Scenery

Up for climbing the Netherlands’ highest peak? It’s right here. Mount Scenery rises 887m from the sea – everything else on the island just clings to its slopes. Moor your yacht charter at Windwardside village and get ready for 1064 stone steps. If that doesn’t take your breath away, the greenery might. You’ll pass ferns and orchids on your way to the Elfin Forest, a cloud forest at this volcano’s panoramic summit.

Snorkel at Wells Bay

Don’t dive? No problem. Set your Saba Island yacht charter course for Well’s Bay, where cliffs wrap around a sloping beach. Snorkelling here is excellent, with colourful reef fish, eels and turtles – plus boulders to investigate. If the surf’s up, it’s an epic place to splash about, or sup a few cold beers in the picnic area. Climb the staircase at the back for sea views and access to the island.
