What is the best Caribbean island for a family catamaran charter?

The best Caribbean islands for a family catamaran charter are the British Virgin Islands, where anchorages sit 30 to 90 minutes apart and the Sir Francis Drake Channel keeps the sailing flat and calm. Short hops matter. Kids stay engaged when every morning brings a new stop — the boulder caves at The Baths on Virgin Gorda, snorkeling over the wreck of the RMS Rhone, paddleboarding off White Bay on Jost Van Dyke. A four- to six-cabin catamaran handles a family of 8 without anyone sharing a bunk against their will. The British Virgin Islands also spare parents long open-water passages, so seasickness rarely gets a vote. For swimming pigs and sandbars, the Exumas in the Bahamas run a close second.
