Home to the 2nd largest barrier reef system in the world, Belize is an unspoiled natural setting, encompassing more than 400 islands and cays. A highlight of Belize is the snorkeling and scuba diving, truly some of the best in the world. Less crowded than other parts of the Caribbean, Belize is a laid-back paradise similar to the cruising grounds of the South Pacific.
Balmy easterly trade winds blow 15-20 knots year round, and guarantee a wonderful sail every day in calm waters tucked behind reefs and cays. Passages are short, but watch your charts due to the many reefs and shallows. Temperatures are moderate all year, ranging from 74°F to 84°F. Scenic anchorages behind palm-fringed or mangrove-lined cays in some of the clearest water anywhere.
