Our islands may be small, but there is a world of activities to choose from—and there’s something for everyone. One of our favorite pastimes in the Turks & Caicos? Sailing on the Atabeyra, operated by Sun Charters, preferably with a cold refreshment in hand. This 70-foot former rum runner has been operating as a charter boat on Providenciales for more than 20 years now, and it’s a favorite among the residents here.
You have options when it comes to sailing with Sun Charters, from day trips that take you out snorkeling on our world-famous reef, to sunset sails that offer the most relaxing way to ease into the weekend on a Friday evening. Our sunsets are pretty spectacular, and they’re that much better when you see them from the water.
We sat down with David Douglas, owner (and builder) of the Atabeyra, to talk about how Sun Charters came to be and what it’s like living in the Turks & Caicos.
