In increasing order of difficulty: Belize (try a catamaran from TMM); St.
Vincent and Grenadines (try Barefoot - see
http://www.usual-suspects-sailing.com/index.html); St.Martin/Anquilla/St. Bart
- try Sunsail or Moorings). All are fantastic and all provide better sailing
than BVI.

I second that. TMM has a great fleet in Belize. Chartered with them
on a Belize 43 there a couple of years ago... yes, there was a TV on
the boat, but no one watched it.

I'd stick with the BVI's. Anyplace else you have to put up with a swarm of
boat boys everytime you drop the hook. It's like having 20 dirtball Boobsprits
clinging to the side of your boat trying to sell you stuff while 20 more are
trying to steal your stuff.

Nothing like that in Belize.

That's true. There is nothing and nobody in Belize. I was basicly speaking of
islands south of the BVIs like the subject title suggests.

I was responding to skitch's comment... I've got some friends
who sailed the St. Vincent, Grenadines, etc. and did have a
minor annoyance with people as described, but it wasn't
terrible.

Hi Jonathan,

I sail already for 12 years in the southern caribbean(Martinique
Venezuela) and I think that the Grenadines is just beautiful I
recomend a trip St. Vincent to Union or Grenada really unspoilt.
Check out http://www.islandtimeholidays.com for crewed charter yachts.
