Please forgive me if I have not posted this in the right place. I have started working on a bit of writing in which newlyweds go on a honeymoon touring the Caribbean by themselves (no crew) for about 5 months. Naturally I have a few questions and thought that this place, with its experts on sailing, would be the best place to go, and any advice/help would be most welcome.
1. What kind of boat would be best suited for such a venture? One member of the couple has a lot of experience sailing, the other has none, but of course one can teach the other. I don't need anything too fancy, just enough for the two of them. I don't need, for example, a huge yacht. One side of the family is giving this boat to the two of them as a wedding gift.
2. The tour is basically like this:
Cancun
Belize
Honduras
Costa Rica
Aruba
Tobago
Grenada
St. Vincent
Martinique
St. Lucia
British/U.S. Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico (mainly San Juan)
Jamaica
Bahamas
What do you think, is 5 months enough time to enjoy all that? That's also the order of the trip.
I suppose that is all I wanted to know for now. Like I said any advice would be more than welcome!
