Super Sailing Beckons in Central America

Charter a yacht in March and you'll get Central America's golden sailing dates. It’s dry season and the skies are a rich, royal blue. The boats have thinned out somewhat, giving you clearer waters for diving and your pick of the restaurants. But that's not to say the yachting community is done for the year: it's carnival time in Martinique and – oh la la! – the Bucket Regatta in St Barths.

Check Out the Barrier Reef in Belize

Yacht charter is nothing short of superb during Belize's dry season. Still, sunny days. Shimmering horizons. Ideal for lazing in a hammock, cold drink in hand. But with the glorious weather comes the sort of underwater visibility you'd expect in a bathtub. Charter a yacht in March and the Barrier Reef becomes a carnival of colourful fish and bright coral plumage. It's the sharpest it looks all year.

Go Whale Watching in the Dominican Republic

It's not only Spring Breakers who head to the Dominican Republic each March. Charter a yacht to Silver Bank, some 60nm north, and you'll see the thousands of North Atlantic humpback whales that make the annual trek too. This mass congregation in the Caribbean Sea is thought to be the world's biggest gathering of these magnificent mammals. Head up early to watch them breach the water and slap their fins.

Go Wildlife Spotting in Cuba

With the wet season gone, March is the time to go to Cuba. The days are hot. The evenings are warm and balmy. There's no better time to charter a yacht. For wildlife lovers, this is when the bare-legged owls, bee hummingbirds and blue-headed quail-doves return from their winter holidays. There are other feathers on show too – it's carnival time on Isla de la Juventud. Expect parades, music and lots of rum.

Go Wild for Carnival in Martinique

Someone call a doctor. Martinique has carnival fever. Symptoms include: colourful parades, bwa bwa puppets in fancy dress, nègres-gros-sirop revellers in sugarcane syrup and coal tar causing mischief. Expect parties well into the naughty hours of the night, Martinican burlesque, horned devils, blaring music and a whole new side to the island. A yacht charter in March gets you to the heart of it (and lets you sleep off any excesses).

Soak in the Action of the Bucket Regatta in St Barths

Tropical St Barth (St-Barthélemy on the birth certificate) oozes sophistication. As the gold-gilded end of the Caribbean spectrum, this heavenly world of soft-white sands, bougainvillaea-covered hills and diamond waters is a Shangri-La for the great and the good. Charter a yacht in March to bear witness to the island’s competitive side as the champers-fuelled Bucket Regatta pits 40 superyachts against one another for bragging rights in the bar.
