Sailing Holidays in Belize

Home to the second longest barrier reef in the world, Belize is still truly an unspoilt getaway.

Belize is located on the Caribbean coast of Central America, South of Mexico and offers superb calm water sailing, diving and snorkelling, Mayan ruins and more. With over 175 cayes to explore, Belize is truly an unspoilt sailing destination. Sail south along the reef which offers protection from ocean swells.

There are many deserted cayes throughout the sailing area providing complete tranquility or, if you prefer, visit one of the populated islands and experience a great meal ashore and replenish supplies. The possibilities on your yacht charters in Belize are endless. Dive into the pristine waters, sample fish and lobster caught fresh by local fishermen, and experience the protection of Belize’s famous barrier reef. This is Caribbean sailing at its best!

If you want to plan a longer holiday, why not combine your sailing with a week ashore to explore the Mayan ruins, tropical rain forests, jungle trekking, river rafting and cave exploring.
