Chartering in Belize

June 15th, 2007

Thinking of chartering in Belize?  Our staff just returned from a charter there and found it to be modernising but still rustic, quiet and relaxed. It’s the perfect destination for those who want to be near nature and love Snorkelling and Diving – the reef is exceptional!  Catamaran charters are becoming very popular in Belize, out of San Pedro or Placencia.

It might just be idle gossip, and it might really be that our friends in Valencia have seen something, but the word on the docks at the America’s Cup is that Alinghi has been significantly faster than Emirates Team New Zealand when they’ve practiced head to head.  If it’s true, you heard it here first!  If not, well, who trusts gossip anyway?
