The sailing eldorado
When you discover Belize, you will appreciate one of the most beautiful unspoiled destinations on the American continent. Particularly enhanced by a magnificent coral reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching for around 295 km, the area is a real tourist treasure with numerous marine reserves.
Whether you are at the side of the boat of a monohull or a catamaran, you will also have the chance to enjoy ideal sailing conditions, favored by pleasant temperatures and the gentle easterly trade winds that blow all year roundyear at an average speed of between 15 and 22 knots.
So, with a yacht charter in Belize, you can book wonderful moments of escape and contemplation, with more than 400 islands and cays just waiting to be visited. Your yacht will glide quietly through the calm seas of this cruising paradise, where crossings are particularly short, as the islands are quite close to one another. Sheltered by the reef, the sailing basin has the advantage of being enlivened by a gentle swell combined with a breeze that can be strong, offering excellent sensations to sailors maneuvering the yachts.
Exploring the Belizean cays
Among the interesting anchorages is the sublime Placencia lagoon, which offers a unique setting combining seaweed fields, forests and exotic mangroves. to the east, Wippari Cay also attracts cruise ships with its turquoise halo and crystal-clear waters, ideal for fishing and snorkeling.
