Summertime fun in the Caribbean

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Many clients call Regency to plan a summer vacation and this year we are finding that more American families are choosing to sail the Caribbean rather than Europe because the exchange rate of dolalrs to euros is so unfavorable.

The temperature does not vary much in the Caribbean, the winds are generally lighter but that is a bonus with calm seas and very clear water for snorkeling or diving. Many yachts are available year round in the Caribbean. Plus many yachts run summertime specials to entice you to charter.

Summertime — perfect for being out on the water in the Caribbean!
