Some places reveal themselves from the deck of a boat in a way they never can from land. The slow approach. The changing light on the water. Unpacking once for a whole week of changing scenery. Cruise travelers often come home saying this was the trip — and there’s a reason for that. Here are five destinations I’d build a sailing around. Baja California, the marine playground Jacques Cousteau called “the world’s aquarium.” French Polynesia, with its 188 islands. The limestone islets of Raja Ampat in Indonesia. Sardinia’s hidden coves. And the British Virgin Islands, perfect for chartering a private yacht.
Happy Travels!
