Guide to Central America

Caribbean seas and sparkling sandy shores line the east coast, and this, combined with the sumptuous jungle and rainforest canopies creates a heavenly Pacific coastline, all of which can be admired from the deck of your superyacht.  Encompassing Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica this selection of minor, exotic countries offers a range of things to do and places to see. From mountain settlements enveloped in clouds, Mayan temples concealed by thick jungles to 16th Century colonial townships located below frantically dynamic volcanoes this region is alive with heritage and culture. Each country within Central America offers a myriad of unique experiences to all who venture here. In addition, Central America incorporates areas of southern Mexico as a result of the Mayan and Spanish national legacy.

To the North of this Isthmus lies Belize. Wedged between Mexico and Guatemala and home to the second largest barrier reef in the world, Belize is considered to be one of the best kept secrets of Central America. Unspoiled and regarded as the ‘adventure coast’, this hidden treasure boasts endless opportunities for fishing, snorkelling, diving and kayaking. A true naturist’s delight, this stunning region exudes an alluring yet modest beauty.  Gaze in awe upon the clouded forest of Costa Rica, an unmistakeable highlight before taking to Guatemala to admire Lake Atitlan against a back drop of smouldering volcanoes. Dive amongst the coral reef in Honduras, let the warm and friendly locals of Nicaragua captivate your heart before admiring the wealth of wildlife in Panama.

Central America is lapped by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, inviting visitors to explore the thriving underworld which is inhabited by a plethora of marine life. Anchor your charter yacht in the sandy cays of the barrier reef before taking to the waters to explore schools of tropical fish and inquisitive sea turtles.

What Central America lacks in size it makes up for in colour, beauty and spirit and a luxury yacht charter is a fantastic opportunity to discover the magnetism of Central America for yourself.
