See full version: Top 3 Caribbean Sailing Routes
A trip to the Caribbean is all about the adventures of the sea. Warm winds, crystal clear cerulean waters and the reflection of the moon on midnight waves… The ocean calls to all of us, and whether you’re the type to lounge on the sundeck of a day-trip yacht or you’ve always dreamed of captaining a vessel of your own, the Caribbean is the answer. These islands are anyone and everyone’s perfect sailing destination.
Jamaica is one of the most colourful islands you’ll ever come across, even by Caribbean standards. Its tropical landscape blooms in all the hues of a rainbow, and the wildlife is just as exotic. Everything you have in mind when you’re dreaming about the Caribbean can be found on Jamaica. Making stops along the island’s 350 miles of lush coastline you’ll be able to indulge in all kinds of adventures, waterfall climbs to rainforest hikes and epic snorkelling adventures. You’ll also find that the local cuisine is unlike any you’ve tried before. Explore a whole world underneath the turquoise waves or dig your toes in the sand… this truly is paradise.
If we still don’t have you convinced, rest assured that you can sail the Caribbean entirely on your own terms. With varying levels of experience on deck, some travellers prefer to have a professional crew do the navigating, and others are ready to take on the task for themselves. You can make it as easy as hopping on a charter with a pre-set itinerary and simply ride the waves, or you can be in charge of your own craft and plan out the perfect journey step by step. Just a few hours on the water is enough for those who prefer coming back for a good night’s sleep in a private villa on land, while letting your boat double as accommodation is a much better option for those who want to round-trip the islands for a few days.

The cruising speed of your boat is not the same unit of measurement as your distance. Calculating this equation using mph would produce an inaccurate answer and a wrong arrival time. more
Based on the equation, it will take you .85 hours to get to the island party. Below is the equation to convert this number into minutes. here
So, your trip will take 50 minutes from your dock to the island. The last part of the equation is to subtract the travel time by boat from the time the party starts. here
Now that we have the correct speed and our time of arrival, we need to use the T = D/S equation. here
