we did Curacao a couple years back. mid-upper 80s every day. nice breeze kept the temps feeling reasonable, brilliant sun all day, one quick shower the whole time we were there, beautiful clean/clear water, tons of beaches, friendly people, great food.
I have no idea, does that place suck? I could have the place wrong, but I thought that was what he said.
oh- I thought you were pulling the I know a guy who knows a guy so this info is irrelevant schtick.
He was the captain of one of the biggest yachts in the Caribbean owned by some big class action lawyer from Texas. I think he was the lawyer against the tobacco companies or something, I had looked him up at the time, but forgot now. It was a pretty cool guy to bs with at the bar.
The best yachts just anchor offshore and take the helicopter over to land. Last year on St. Maarten the Serene owned by Russian vodka distributor Yuri Scheffler was anchored off the beach from where we were staying.
one of my son's old pre-school classmate's dads was some billionaire greek shipping tycoon... they kept their Americas yacht docked in St Maarten. I really, really, really wanted an invite. But yeah- it's a better spot for boats. Plus, it's also a bigger island, so crew could find a lot more to do for less than on the smaller islands compared to the smaller ones.
Totally, the helicopter probably went over to St. Barths while the crew stayed and partied on St. Maarten.
now i'm picking up what you're putting downEl Floppo said:
I pimped Anguilla up and down in this thread... sadly, we haven't been able to afford to go back when it's affordable to go there. Stupid kids and their stupid kid vacations. plus they cut the flights from NYC for some reason, which also drove the prices up.
Anguilla is chill. great food, great beaches, great vibe. we haven't been since the hurricane that wiped it out- so not sure if still around, but there were snorkeling excursions, drunk/dining at scilly cay, horseback riding, golf, amongst others, and of course all the typical water activities. it's not an "adventure" type of island, but there are certainly activities.
Activities….there’s drinking. And eating. One usually drinks while eating. Lazing about at the beach, drinking. hiking is available. It’s hot though. So definitely drink when finished. Diving. Boating. If someone else is driving, drink it up.
you basically just described every caribbean island.Activities….there’s drinking. And eating. One usually drinks while eating. Lazing about at the beach, drinking. hiking is available. It’s hot though. So definitely drink when finished. Diving. Boating. If someone else is driving, drink it up.
st john is a magical place to decompress. It’s not activity focused. We had an awesome house in coral bay. We ate, drank, went to the beach and took an awesome boat trip.
