Turks & Caicos
Day 1: Fly into Grand Turk where you will be greeted by a crew member. Since
your yacht will be anchored out, enjoy a quick tender ride and then a warm
“welcome aboard”! Once you have settled in, head back to the island to look
around. Perhaps you will lunch at the Salt Raker Inn, followed by a trip out to the
light house. Then, a cool drink at the Water’s Edge before returning to the yacht
for an al fresco dinner under the stars.
Day 2: Splash! After breakfast, go diving on the near-by wall. For the nondivers,
snorkeling right off the boat is perfect. After lunch, a quick trip to Salt Cay
for a look around before returning to anchor off Grand Turk again.
Day 3: Cross the Grand Turk Passage, keeping a lookout for humpback
whales! Once you get to South Caicos, it becomes a tough choice: dive first or
explore the village? Or, do both: wall dive, explore and photograph the town, then
a reef dive. By evening, you’ll be starving. Good thing you know that fabulous
food abounds on a charter yacht!
Day 4: Not that you would want a plastic one in your yard, but seeing a
large flock of bright pink flamingos is worth the time to go visit Flamingo Pond
on North Caicos. Afterwards, kayak Bottle Creek from the ocean to the Caicos
Banks. Don’t forget some water and a snack!
Day 5: Today your yacht will dock at the brand new Leeward Marina on
Providenciales. Some many things to do: play a round of golf, visit the Caicos
Conch Farm, lose some money at the casinos, stroll along the 12 mile stretch of
sugary white sand that makes up Grace Bay Beach. Looking for treasures to take
home? Visit the Cultural Market Place for locally made handicrafts with the best
prices on the island.
Day 6: Destination: West Caicos. This is a “Diver Day”. Your yacht will anchor
on the east side of West Caicos, to be met there by the dive boat which will take
you around the island to the spectacular wall. Make sure your camera batteries
are charged, because the photos you will shoot will be fabulous. The non-divers
can snorkel off the yacht in the azure water of the Caicos Bank, relax on the
beach, or play with the yacht’s water toys.
Day 7: Sigh. Time to head back to Provo to catch your plane home. On the
way back, feast your eyes on the clear blue waters that surround you. Aren’t you
glad you have discovered the islands that time has forgotten? You know you’ll
return.
