Rare CruisinShips Posted August 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I've heard the ABC islands may be considered below "the box" when it comes to hurricane season in the Caribbean. Does anyone have any input or insight they care to share? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturngrl Posted August 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Florida gal here. September is the height of hurricane season. When sailing anywhere in the Caribbean, it's a gamble if your sail dates coincide with a tropical storm or hurricane. The ship will navigate around the storm, but you are in for some very rocky seas regardless. I hope this helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/caribbean-islands-generally-hit-hurricanes/story?id=40407011 As another poster mentioned, even if hurricanes don't often hit the ABC islands, you have a long way to go to get back and forth between Florida and those islands.

The fact is that, even during the September “height of the season”, most of the Caribbean on most days is not impacted by a hurricane. Typically 4 or 5 days might be impacted - and that would be in a limited, easy to avoid, area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
