Trinidad and Tobago
This twin-island paradise is a country of its own accord, snuggled between the Caribbean and the north-eastern coast of Venezuela. While Trinidad is incredibly popular and visited, Tobago is the a little more visitor-shy, so the two isles offer diverging scenes and vibes. The beauty of a Trinidad and Tobago Carnival yacht charter…is that you can have it all!
Trinidad for the Carnival
On the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday each year, Trinidad simply explodes with carnival fever, although celebrations are held consistently for the whole period between Christmas and Lent. A Trinidad Carnival yacht charter is a superlative way to experience this joyous event and even though carnival season is a long-held tradition in all the Caribbean nations, you won’t find a destination that can ever compete with Trinidad. If you want the most fun, most exuberant and most unforgettable, then Trinidad Carnival is definitely the one carnival in the Caribbean you’ll want to attend.

Tobago for the Relaxation
Tobago, on the other hand, is like her quiet, unassuming cousin, where all that is cosmopolitan and commercial is traded in for unspoilt wilderness and a very chilled out atmosphere. The contrast of the two island is perfectly complementing and the primary reason Tobago and Trinidad yacht charters are so popular, especially at Carnival time.
We’ll be the first to admit that there aren’t many people who can party hard for 48 hours and emerge unscathed. Knowing that on Trinidad yacht charters vacation, you’ll have plenty of chances to unplug for a while, and delight in some blissful rest, is simply priceless.
