Nevis / Special Interests / Sailing & Regattas
With such beautiful surroundings, it is worth stopping at Nevis if you are travelling down the island chain, perhaps from St Maarten to Antigua. There are not that many anchorages, but yachts stop at Sunshine’s on Pinney’s Beach, where there are moorings, and also in Tamarind Bay off the Gallipot Restaurant & Bar. There are currently no marina facilities on Nevis.
If you are staying on island and want to enjoy sailing then there are day sails that offer a fun day out, along with the magnificent views of course. Nevis also stages some yachting events, notably the Round Booby Island Regatta each May and the St Maarten Offshore Regatta, in June.
