The Americas offer one of the world’s most diverse yachting geographies — from the Caribbean’s turquoise archipelagos to the Pacific Northwest’s forested fjords and South America’s dramatic coastlines. Stretching across more than 42,000 km of coastline and thousands of islands, the region provides limitless cruising variety for every style of traveller.
