Guide to Dominica

If what you're looking for in your yacht charter vacation is the freedom to explore nature at its best, then the Lesser Antilles' island of Dominica is a perfect match. With its mountainous, densely forested interior it has been unofficially named the ‘Nature Isle of the Caribbean’ and is unmatched in options for active travellers ready for adrenaline-fuelled days at sea and ashore. Self-ruling and soverign since 1978, the island is now firmly establishing itself as an eco-tourist destination – ensuring it continues to boast long stretches of unspoilt coastline and a vast collection of thriving wildlife for years to come. Easily accessible by yacht, Dominica can be reached following a short cruise from Guadeloupe and Martinique.

Waking up to breakfast on deck prepared by your private Chef within the setting of this vertiginous island is the ideal start to your Dominica charter vacation. A meandering yet challenging walk along one of the many hiking trails is a must before the heat of the day sets in, followed by either an invigorating shower under jungle waterfall or a soak in a steaming hot natural spring to ease the aching muscles. Designtated a UNESCO World Heritage site, visitors are sure to be in awe of their environment. 

You can then head back to your superyacht for a barbecue on the beach hosted by your charter crew followed by the some time spent on and beneath the glorious Caribbean Sea.

The locals on Dominica are known for their home-grown produce and inventive products that include beer, high-quality rum and coffee as well as the famous Dominica straw hats. A variation of historical rulers from around the world have each left their mark here as the island inhabits its very own, unique, internationally influenced personality. The unmatched privacy of its waters and the unsurpassed beauty of its nature are the perfect contrast to the luxury of a charter yacht.
