Jamaica / Special Interests / Sailing & Regattas

By James Henderson

Jamaica is not really known for its sailing. It doesn’t have the offshore cays that make for good cruising, nor that many calm anchorages where you can hop from one to the next and, consequently, no fleets on island from which you can hire a yacht. However, many Jamaicans like to sail, so there are two active yacht clubs and a number of marina facilities which will allow visiting yachts to berth. There are also opportunities for day sails if you would like a day afloat or a sunset cruise.
