What are you looking for in your charter destination?

My current favorite is the Spanish Virgin Islands (i.e. the small islands east of Puerto Rico, including Culebra and Vieques). There is an excellent charter company based in Fajardo (the east end of Puerto Rico) called Sail Caribe, whom we've used for our 3 trips there. Click under Puerto Rico on my webpage to get 3 trip reports: Islandtime It's like the BVI 30 years ago.

If not the SVI, I suggest either the Abacos (where there are several companies, including Moorings and Sunsail, with a large base in Marsh Harbour) or the Exumas (Navtours, with bases in Nassau -- about a 30 mile sail to the Exumas -- or right outside of Georgetown). I haven't chartered with them, but spent 2.5 months sailing the Exumas last year (blog here: Calypso's Odyssey -- we were in the Exumas from January to March, if you want to read about those islands, and the Abacos before and after).

So many other choices as well, but those are my favorites.
