Caribbean Yacht Sailing

I am a huge fan of small-ship cruising, having personally bare-boated a barge on the French Canals and sailed on a small ship in Alaska waters. I’ve sold European River Cruises and one of my favorite companies, Emerald Cruises, has recently introduced Luxury Yacht Cruising in the Caribbean featuring small vessels (only 50 cabins!) and out-of-the-way islands large vessels cannot access. I have visited many of these smaller islands myself and am excited over the prospect of small-ship cruising in the Caribbean Region!
