The Caribbean from Puerto Rico down south to Grenada is a lovely yacht charter location with beckoning warm blue green clear waters, great snorkeling, great diving, lots of water fun and some very nice and very interesting islands to visit.  Maybe you have chartered in the Caribbean already and want to see something new?  Or maybe the Caribbean is not your "cup of tea".  Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters offers worldwide yacht charter in many different and unique locations.  Following are locations to consider if you want to charter somewhere different this winter:

San Blas Islands: Owned by the Kuna Indians, these islands are just off of the east coast entrance to the Panama Canal and are wonderfully tropical with lots of low sandy cays and clear warm waters.  Relax for fun in the sun, but see a whole new culture as well as the Kuna Indians welcome you into their villages, especially if you buy a Mola.
