Don't squash dreams of sailing away—just take everyone with you. At Antigua's Sunsail Club Colonna, beginners (adults and kids seven and older) who want to morph from landlubbers into old salts can take a two-day course. Once qualified, guests have unlimited use of the club's boats.
The club also has free daily supervised kids' programs parsed into different age groups (two to four, five to seven, and eight to 12). Here, children as young as five climb aboard dinghies, becoming familiar with booms, halyards, and mainsails. Kids can also canoe and swim.
Information:
As with any Caribbean hotel, prices are lowest in off-season, generally May through mid-October.
