St Vincent and the Grenadines are a group of islands that make up one country. Other than being next door neighbors, they bear no relation to Grenada, despite the similarity of the name. These special islands have a similar feel to the British Virgins in that you can easily sail or motor from one to the other while remaining in the same country. The similarity ends there in that these islands are still less developed and far less "discovered" than the BVI. No jet skis, aquascooters, or spearfishing are permitted in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which make it perfect for a relaxing charter (see our boats in the Grenadines). There is a conscious effort toward protecting the spectacular natural...

The opposite of being chained to your desk must be manhandling the wheel of your beautiful white yacht sailing the seven seas. Even if most days you like your job, you're still trapped in that one space, between the same four walls, glancing, like taking tiny sips, out the window, instead of drunk on the freedom of space and the potentially ever changing vista of the great open highways of the sea. Yacht sailing must be the antidote to work. Aboard your yacht, sailing around Cape Horn perhaps, along spectacular, ancient coastlines, or hopping from tropical island to tropical island whilst sailing in French Polynesia, spending the afternoons resting on the deck of your yacht.

At this time, a lot of A - list Hollywood celebrities have their very own such as Nicole Kidman which she usually employs when cruising with her children, Conor Antony and Isabella Jane. When you speak of this kind of vessel, you can never erase the notion that only affluent individuals have the means to purchase one as the name itself already says so.

Varnishing You Yacht's Brightwork; Let's Get Ready Shopping List - Your choice of varnish - Mineral spirits· - Foam brushes (I like the ones from Wal-Mart) - Tack rags - Bleach If you are starting with bare teak you may wish to use the Cetol Marine which has some pigment in it. I prefer to use two coats of it on bare teak to give it a nice color to it. I follow this with 4 coats of gloss. On previously finished wood rails, I use only gloss. Each year, the varnish builds up so you'll have to strip it down and start over every 5-6 years or so. This year I only used 3 coats of gloss as I stripped it down to bare wood last year. Cetol advises not to thin their product with thinners. Ignore that...

In the past, we have seen some pretty amazing boats that have been made out of the strangest materials. A boat made out of more than 15,000,000 Popsicle sticks, a navy vessel made from the debris from the twin towers, and recently the world's first boat made out of used plastic bottles all make us wonder what will come next. As humans push the boundaries further than ever before and discover new ways to make structures float, this boat has been made with a message and as they say, hope floats. Last week, this partially plastic yacht took to the seas for its maiden voyage and many onlookers watched as the boat defied gravity and was carried by water bottles. The yacht, which had its first taste of...

It makes sense then to have a marine wind generator installed on your yacht, so you can enjoy your ride to the fullest. Nowadays they now even have yacht wind generators that also double up as water generator which generates power by...

Never ever under estimate the power of water! If you plan on buying a kayak or canoe this summer either for recreational leisure or perhaps a spot of fishing, always put safety first without fail! At the very least always make sure if at all possible that there are two of you if venturing out on either a river or lake. Always make sure that you wear a proper life jacket and that you know fully how to use it. Always make sure that the life jacket you are using also has a very high pitched and piercing whistle attached to it, so that if you do get into trouble, your call for help will be heard. Another thing to consider is taking with you a fully waterproof holdall where you can keep a dry change of...

We've all done it before. A friend introduces you to a new hobby, and all of a sudden we ABSOLUTELY HAVE to go out and buy the latest and greatest equipment that hobby has to offer. Nine times out of ten, our spouses roll their eyes and say "go ahead and put it in the garage (attic, backyard, etc...) just like all of your other hairbrained ideas!! " I'll admit, I've been guilty of that very crime more times than not. Here's what I've learned over the years. It pays to NOT jump in with both feet when it comes to boating or yachting! I feel comfortable in saying that you can get away with buying a "larger" power boat initially. They are very controllable, as long as you maintain strict throttle...
