The Renaissance Islands, part of the Leeward group, include St. Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla. The islands are clustered and offer exhilarating but short line of sight passages, with a wide choice of anchorages. The conditions are slightly more challenging than the British Virgin Islands, but easier than the Windwards.
