Scarborough sailing - an unique experience
Geography and location have made the waters surrounding Trinidad and Tobago popular sailing and yachting spots for vacationers seeking fun on the sea. Most insurance companies require boats to spend the hurricane season in locations south of latitude 12 degrees. Trinidad and Tobago are located at latitude 10.5 and 11 degrees North, so while in their waters, boaters usually don't have to worry about their insurance. With recent improvements in docking facilities, sailing and yachting marinas have become some of the best places for boating in the Eastern Caribbean. Seamen are attracted to the island because of its safe harbors and the area's location outside the hurricane belt. The main ports on Tobago are Charlottesville and Scarborough. To dock at these ports, boaters must go through some basic clearance requirements. On Tobago, sailboats and yachts can gain clearance at the Charlottesville port, which has protected anchorage. Both Trinidad and Tobago hold annual boating events and regattas that are popular among vacationers. One of the most exciting and popular events is Carnival, during which vacationers may spend weeks exploring the waters off the shores of Trinidad and Tobago. Many travelers charter yachts and sailboats for water excursions, and the waters tend to get somewhat crowded during this time of year, so be sure to make any necessary boating arrangements before your vacation. Vacationers ready to take to the sea can find charters regardless of their sailing experience. Charter companies have boats available for novices or experienced sailors. The types of boat charters available at most charter companies are bareboats, skippered charters, and crewed charters. Most experienced sailors will want to charter a bareboat. This type of charter comes with a boat and not much else. You are the crew and have total responsibility for the navigation of the boat. Bareboat charters are best for those who have had a good deal of experience on the water. Also, bareboat charters require some familiarity with the waters in which you are traveling, so boaters should have some knowledge of Trinidad and Tobago's waters. Sometimes charter companies will recommend that boaters take a skippered charter, based on the vacationer's experience and familiarity with the area. Skippers provide tour guide services as well as navigate the boat. This option may be best for those who have had some boating experience but who may not be comfortable with the area in which they are sailing. Crewed charters are a good idea for those who have had little to no sailing experience. Crewed charters come with a full crew, which includes a cook and a skipper. Travelers can sit back and enjoy the ride on crewed charters because they offer everything you could need on your yachting adventures. The captain will ultimately make all the decisions, including safety calls like weather and obstacles that may cause changes in itinerary.
