Jamaica: Where reggae roots meet rainforests and reef-lined shores
Jamaica is a place that is close to Haiti and Cuba that has long been a magnet for the yachting elite. Jamaica’s topography is diverse, with mountains, rainforests, and beaches. Aside from the stunning natural landscapes, their music scene is vibrant being the birthplace of reggae music.
