Take full advantage of the warm water (almost the same temperature as your body), crystal clear tropical Caribbean Sea. No silver shock when you enter the water, it is simply inviting you to come-on-in and have fun. Your luxury yacht vacations provide the best way to get 100 percent out of your charter. This adventure is far too important for you to have an agent compromise your vacation so select the best person for the job no matter what size your yacht 60-600 feet. It is your broker who provides information to make all your yacht charters better than the rest.

DANGERS. There are very few when on board a sailing yacht vacation.

Be sure to put on sun screen before entering the water as the water tends to hide sunburns and therefore could leave you with a false sense of security.
There are very little dangers for the wise snorkeler: Number one have your captain snorkel with you everytime you venture into the water. The fire coral is not as big a problem as it is made out to be. If you touch it with your tummy, back or hands it will burn for a little while and stops. Jelly fish are around 2-3 days per year and their sting is not ver big. Smaller jelly fish have even a smaller sting; both were never a problem just swim around them. I never saw the 'bad' jelly fish in 5 years of snorkelling.

Baracudas: these proud fish looks as if they are targeting you when they simply look at you, so keep away from Baracuda. In 5 consecutive years of living there, baracudas were never a problem, but they are something not to take lightly.

Sting Rays have never been any issue at all, they are like turtles, shy and unasuming and not to be fed by humans. Spiney Blow fish are also timid and shy; one 62 year old gentleman put his finger into the mouth of a blow fish and he lost the skin around the tip of his finger. That fish could have bitten through the bone so do not be silly, these are all wild animals.

Possibly the biggest danger for Vacationers are the spiny Black Urchin, when touched their spins shoot into your flesh. One remedy is to place your hands in milk for a while. These barbs are very soft and cannot be pulled out with a needle, so your body simply has to work them out of your hand as best as possible. Neosporin and elastoplast to cover the wound is all you can do and the pain remains for a very long time. Be careful of these black Urchins. In 5 years we only had one lady who we told not to walk into the balck urchin patch and she did. Snorkeling at night, rather not. Now that these minor dangers are noted, let's go and have fun on board all your luxury yachts.

Many of the islands are edged with mangroves. The roots dip into the water and offer protection for all species of fish life, invertebrates, baby turtles etc. I feel this is a second protection area for young sea life, the first protection area are the coral reefs themselves. The coral reef and all the life related to the coral is what keep all of us intrigued.

Fan worms pop in at the first sign of danger and slowly ease out to full bloom afterwards. Red-banded coral shrimp show themselves to you as you go by a section of yellow live stag horn coral. Purple and yellow fish keep close to their home, the odd black and white drum circle their protected nook. Keep an eye open for large shells which move, live truppet shels, pigmy Conch and conch shells, hermit crabs abound. Your yacht charter captain will point all these out to you as you glide past.
