We are going to charter out of Placencia, heading up to AC, but can't decide when would be the best time weatherwise.....

any suggestions?? How is Late November? Early April? Early May????? I've heard June can be too hot, with light winds?

I can only speak for early February, when we sailed out of San Pedro, as the conditions were PERFECT. But others' experience just a few weeks earlier were not so ideal, as a cold front had passed through and made for unsettled conditions. I suspect that spring would be great.

We sailed with TMM, and I had many chats with Brian in their main office. If you are planning to sail with them, I recommend that you give them a call (or drop them a line) -- they are a font of excellent information. (I suspect Moorings would be the same -- I've sailed with them before but not in Belize).

We just booked a charter with TMM out of San Pedro in early December. We usually charter in the BVI's but decided to try Belize after reading the recent trip reports.
We've never chartered in Belize and tried to read as much as we could about the weather, sailing conditions, etc., before picking the date.-- There wasn't a lot to go on so we just picked a date that would work well for the eight of us.
We'll be on "Purr-fect"-- 46' Bahia.
Let us know if you book a charter.
