Sunsail invites customers to explore one of the world's top cruising destinations this winter, and share a truly special Christmas break with family and friends.

From just £3828 for a 384 (4 cabin) catamaran in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands (sleeps up to nine people), you can swap crowded shops for deserted anchorages; rainy days for blue skies and steady winds. Trade tasteless turkey dinners for mouth-watering barbecued seafood; sip rum cocktails rather than eggnog, as you sit back, relax and soak up the stunning beauty of your surroundings.

A Christmas in the Caribbean is a Christmas like no other.

Adding to the already unbeatable blend of outstanding watersports, pristine beaches and fine dining, December brings another dimension to paradise, as the islands explode in a fantastical celebration of the festive season, each indulging in its own individual vibe.

A Sunsail charter puts customers and their loved ones at the heart of that, with the freedom to hop from island to island to experience the very best of the festive season. From Antigua, for example, why not set sail for nearby St Kitts to take in the dazzling Boxing Day carnival, celebrating local folklore and traditional dance. Or perhaps soak up the festival atmosphere in the Bahamas with the colourful Junkanoo Street Parade - think Times Square meets Mardi Gras!

For the ultimate celebration, customers can extend their stay into the New Year. Fireworks and reggae dancing top the bill across the Caribbean, with the BVI's making the number one party hot-spot - some 'Old Year's Eve' celebrations continue on for 48 hours! Party the night away and then kick back and watch the sun rise over the sparkling blue sea on the first day of the New Year.

This year we offer our customers to purchase a Christmas hamper for those who wish to experience a few 'home comforts' while out on the water for only US$160. It includes a Charlie Brown Christmas tree (Lionel's blanket included), traditional Christmas crackers, destination British Virgin Islands Guide Book, Caribbean eggnog chocolate, Cadbury fruit and nut cheesecake, croissants, pineapple, grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, kiwis, pears.

Quite simply, we can't imagine a better place on the planet to see in 2015.
