Nevis is our Caribbean paradise for the 2nd week of the year.
During this week our family sailing cruise will concentrate on Nevis which is an ideal location for a vacation adventure. Nevis is part of St-Kitts/Nevis. It is a high topped island with a 3,200 ft mountain called Nevis Peak. It has a population of 12,000. It is quiet, peaceful with lovely views. unfortunately diving without a guide is not allowed here. Land based tours and activities are the most popular here. We do most of our water sports elsewhere. We only spend a few days here moving on to St. Kitts by mid week. Check out the tours at the links below. We will meet you at the dock in Charlestown, Nevis Sunday afternoon near 17.14620333,-62.631005 at the dinghy dock downtown. The town is called Charlestown as well.
