Middle Caicos sailing - an unique experience
The Turks and Caicos lie in the Caribbean Sea, one of the world's most popular sailing and yachting destinations. Whether visiting for annual races or simply the sailing season, you'll find there are plenty of reasons to sail these waters. Travelers stop into the South Caicos for a break between Florida and the Virgin Islands, and sometimes just to visit. Before you set sail, be aware of safety issues. The Turks and Caicos are edged by a famous reef, but this can be as hazardous as it is beautiful, and the trade winds can pose a hazard as well. Other safety considerations include: Currents and waves - Travelers will find the stronger oceanic pressures on the northeastern (Atlantic) sides of the islands, rather than the southwestern (Caribbean) sides. Season - The most popular season to sail in is also the most popular time to visit the Caribbean in general - January through March. Because of this, prices may be higher throughout the islands. In the summer both rains and hurricane season tend to dissuade sailors. The South Caicos are considered by many fishermen around the world to be one of the best destinations for sport and bone fishing in the Caribbean. The salty seas surrounding the group of islets is home to an array of game fish including marlin, sailfish, barracuda, and many more. Each year, vacationers make their way to these islands to enjoy the unspoiled waters and the plentiful game fish found here. To find the best places to fish in the South Caicos, you can contact any of the many fishing charters located throughout the islands. Travelers choosing to sail into the South Caicos have relatively few rules to follow. But because there are so many islands, it's important to enter at an authorized port of entry and go through customs. When approaching a port in the Turks and Caicos, it is important to contact customs on channel 16 or, when entrances are hazardous, channels 16 or 68. Passports and/or visas are required of all visitors and are valid for 30 days. When entering, it should be noted that travelers may not carry firearms onto the islands, and all pets must stay aboard the ship. You will need to get a cruising permit to visit the other islands in the chain.
