If you've "cut your sailing teeth" in the Caribbean, the next time you get the urge to trim a jib, you might consider cruising in Tonga, Thailand, and the Hauraki Gulf.

While the turquoise waters and the laid-back culture of the Caribbean have long been favorites with the yachting crowd, it's just one of the choices in a worldwide menu of cruising territories. Whether you hanker for tropical breezes to push you through gin-clear waters, for sybaritic ports in the European playgrounds, or for the company of worldclass sailors, Hideaways' yacht chartering partner, Sunsail, can set you up with the boat of your dreams.

As one of the largest charter companies in the world, Sunsail can set you up on a sailing adventure from 35 different ports, with about as many options for experiencing each region—bareboating, captained and crewed charters, flotillas, stay/sail programs, learn-to-sail programs, special event and corporate charters, and a worldwide racing program. Yachts in its fleet range in size from 27 to 55 feet.
