6 week Carribean Cruise from Florida - any ideas?

[lilyplove]

We would appreciate any suggestions on planned routes for a 6 week time frame in June - July to hit all the best spots in the Carribean starting near the Florida Keys...

We don't have a boat yet but will be looking to buy a 30+ foot boat this winter to prepare for the trip - would appreciate any advice about that too.

Thanks!

Greetings, and WELCOME aboard lilyplove.
Florida to and thru' the Caribbean seems a little ambitious for a six week cruise.
Six weeks might be an adequate time to cruise the Fla. Keys, or the Bahamian Abacos, or the Bahamian Northern Exumas; but not much more.
Good luck.

Please don't take offense to this, but that question is like asking "What is the best route to take to tour the entire U.S. in an RV in 2 weeks?"

As always, how much your willing to spend on a boat is a major factor in the decision process.

Consider the western Caribbean, if your looking at the March April time frame.

WELCOME,

Sailing is slow, and if your not sailing 24hrs a day it becomes extremely slow. If you buy the boat in Florida then 6 weeks in the Bahamas will be a treat. May, or June would be better. July becomes a bit IFFY with serious weather.....HURRICANES......BEST WISHES, and enjoy
