The British Virgin Islands include Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and more. There’s no better way to experience the waters and beaches of the BVI's than on a private Caribbean charter with a full crew to pamper you. Of all the islands in the Caribbean, the Virgins are furthest north. This makes them very convenient due to the proximity to San Juan and due to their direct flights from the United States. Catamaran sailing vacations and crewed sailing charters are very popular in the islands, and their protected waters make them a favorite spot for guests that are taking their first private Caribbean yacht charter. To learn more about them:

Charter a yacht in the USVI

The U.S. Virgin Islands consist mainly of the three large islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. With lovely bays, long beaches, lush nature preserves, fabulous diving spots, and excellent, onshore evening entertainment, many choose to vacation in the USVI’s. Caribbean charters often visit both the BVI’s and USVI’s during the same week, as they are close to one another and the waters are generally calmer than in other parts of the Caribbean. They in general are also home to the largest fleet of crewed, all-inclusive, luxury catamarans. To find out more about them:

Charter a Caribbean yacht

The Leewards are situated in the middle of the Caribbean Island chain. The major airports are located on St. Maarten and Antigua. Due to the English, Dutch, and French influences everywhere you look, they exhibit the best example of cultural sophistication anywhere within the Caribbean. If you are looking to see where the rich and famous go on vacation, you will want to visit the island of St. Barts; for many this is a must stop for a Caribbean yacht charter. Many mega yachts are available for rental in St. Maarten, as it has become a popular mega yacht Caribbean base for the winter. To learn more about the Leewards:

Grenadines

The Grenadines are also called The Windward Islands. Oftentimes our guests will choose a sailing charter over a motor yacht when in the Grenadines, due to the more constant tropical breezes that occur. The islands are much less developed than the rest of the Caribbean, and the inhabitants live on their own time schedule, which enhances the feeling of getting away. The northern most island accessible by air is ST. Vincent, while the southern tip’s major airport is on Grenada. There are fewer Caribbean charter yachts based here; however, occasionally some charter yachts are happy to relocate in order to offer a vacation that happens a little off the beaten path. To find out more about the Grenadines:

Caribbean Charters - When To Go.

One of the lovely things about the Caribbean is that the temperatures remain consistent throughout the year; however, there are some other weather considerations that you will want to factor in when making your caribbean yachting vacation plans. Read More....

Vacations here are most popular between November and July.

If you are thinking of a megayacht, you will want to keep in mind that many of these private yachts which are Caribbean based in winter leave in the late spring and early summer months. They will return again in early winter; however, this does limit their availability. To charter a mega yacht, you will want to make sure that you do so well in advance.

Motor, sail, or catamaran yachts, on the other hand, often have selections available year round. Holidays like Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter do need to be planned for as early as possible as these are very popular charter times.

The availability for Caribbean charters can also be affected by the weather in other climates, for instance, when the severity of the weather is bad in the United States or Europe, especially between January and February, the charters are often booked. This is due to many clients looking for a break from the cold.

What Do Our Clients Say About The Caribbean?

Are you excited yet? You should be! Our clients have enjoyed fantastic Caribbean vacations.

The Caribbean Sea comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays, and is divided into three island arcs: that of the Greater Antilles in the north, the Lesser Antilles in the south, and the Leeward Antilles to the east.

Tropical islands of the Caribbean

  • Ideal winter destination Boasting all-year-round pleasant weather, its powdery sand beaches and alluringly clear waters make it an especially popular choice for winter yacht charters.
  • Easy-to-reach The Caribbean is well-connected to the US, with a high number of international airports flying directly into the region.
  • Secluded anchorages With more than 7,000 islands and only a small percentage being inhabited, the world is your oyster when it comes to finding serenely beautiful anchorages.
  • Snorkeling and diving paradise The Caribbean is home to some of the world's most impressive snorkeling and diving sites, meaning plenty of exciting underwater adventures where your eyes will be wide with wonder.

7 of the best beaches in the Virgin Islands

While the Bahamas is technically part of the Caribbean region, it is an island nation in its own right, forming part of the Lucayan Archipelago in the Atlantic. That said, the Caribbean is a vast area occupied by thousands of islands, coral reefs and islets, of which the Bahamas forms a part, along with strong political and cultural ties that have created a natural bond with its Caribbean neighbour. 

Practically speaking, however, if you are interested in cruising  the Bahamas  in conjunction with your Caribbean yacht charter, it is highly unlikely you'll be able to manage the distance during a typical 7-day charter, especially for itineraries that incorporate East Caribbean destinations such as Antigua and Saint Martin. You will need to decide which destination you prefer to spend your time in, or extend your charter vacation to incorporate both. 

To find out more about chartering in the region, check out our in-depth Bahamas destination guide for more information.

Tropical beach in the Pitons, St Lucia in the Caribbean

The most popular destinations for renting a yacht in the Caribbean are those located in the Lesser Antilles region, primarily the island groups of the Leeward Islands.  and the  Windward Islands .

For Leeward Island yacht rentals , Antigua, the Virgin Islands, St Martin, St Barts and St Kitts and Nevis garner the most attention, thanks to not only their splendid tropical landscapes but also their extremely well-provisioned superyacht marinas, fine dining options, impossibly hip bars and medley of designer boutiques bound to keep guests entertained from dawn till dusk.

Scattered like pearls along the aquamarine seas, you'll find sun-drenched Martinique, gorgeous Grenada and the ultra-secluded St Vincent and the Grenadines  are the top picks for slow-paced  Windward Island yacht charters .

Although not as popular, the islands that form the Greater Antilles , such as Jamaica, Cuba and Puerto Rico , are just as beautiful and offer an array of spectacular destinations to explore and discover on a luxury yacht charter.

The Caribbean is a mesmerizing melting pot of cultures and influences, rooted in its rich heritage and undeniably shaped by its history of colonization and waves of immigration. Each island group is highly diverse in terms of its language, music, customs, architecture and cuisine, but it's mainly English, Dutch, French or Spanish colonial influences that are keenly felt. While the mix of languages spoken will differ between island groups, English is widely spoken.

Caribbean cuisine sees influences from Africa, Europe, Latin America and Spain, Meat, seafood, coconut, potatoes, beans and tomatoes tend to feature heavily in local dishes.

Locals are friendly and regularly celebrate their culture, with music, food and wildly colorful festivals held throughout the year.

A luxury yacht rental vacation in the Caribbean is, without doubt, the most sublime way to experience this region, giving you exclusive access to heavenly anchorages that are otherwise impossible to reach or are far from the typical tourist trail.

Guests have boundless fleet options when it comes to a crewed Caribbean charter. If you don't know whether to go for a motor yacht, sailing yacht or catamaran to cruise Caribbean waters, we've laid out the main points worth considering.

Motor Yacht Charters in the Caribbean

Large Super Yachts moored in a marina in the Caribbean

A  luxury motor yacht charter  in the Caribbean is a seven-star way of uncovering the epic beauty of the Caribbean in total privacy. 

For regions with minimal water depth the ideal choice is a motor yacht with low draft, perfect for accessing shallow lagoons and secluded bays.

For those who have their heart set on a superyacht without a shallow draft, dropping anchor further out into deeper waters and then getting a tender ride ashore, so you can get up close and personal to exquisite island reefs and blue lagoons, is the preferred option.

Sailing Yacht Charters in the Caribbean

Yachts in Antigua, Caribbean

Chartering a sailing yacht in the Caribbean is ideal for guests looking for a slower pace to fully lap up the Caribbean rays with more outdoor deck space, and add a little old-school charm to their cruising adventure.

Even better, the majority of sailing charter yachts come equipped with a retractable keel, meaning reaching turquoise shallows is a breeze. But, if you are keen to charter a larger sailing yacht, keep in mind that some may still find their draft too deep for some areas, even with the keel up. 

Catamaran Charters in the Caribbean

Catamarans in the Caribbean

Luxury catamaran charters are a firm guest favourite for those embarking on Caribbean vacation, especially in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Thanks to their shallow draft, catamarans give you the ability to get close to cays and islets guests can savor the thrilling feeling of being able to jump off-board at almost any point. 

The charter cost of a motor yacht, sailing yacht or luxury catamaran rental in the Caribbean will vary according to the vessel's size, age, type, number of crew, as well as the location and duration of the vacation as well as the season it takes place. 

With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in the Caribbean below;

  • For motor yacht rentals in the Caribbean, prices can range from $39,167 to $1.4m per week, plus expenses
  • For luxury sailing yacht rentals in the Caribbean, prices can go from $29,855 to $276,495 weekly, plus expenses

Caribbean beach at sunset

The best time for luxury yacht charters in the Caribbean is between November and March, when guests can expect clement weather and vividly blue cloudless skies.

Another aspect to keep in mind is that this is also the time when you will have the largest selection of yachts to choose from, as most charter yachts descend on the Caribbean around November after the Mediterranean season has ended and any yacht maintenance has been carried out, before returning back to the Mediterranean in March/April.

Port de Gustavia in St Barts, Caribbean

The most popular starting point for a Caribbean yacht rental is usually in either Saint Martin/Sint Maarten or  Antigua,  both of which have international airports.

It is certainly possible to begin your charter in other Caribbean destinations, providing this has been agreed with the Owner and charter broker .

Where to End a Caribbean Yacht Charter

For most private Caribbean yacht charters, there isn't one definitive place where to disembark given the vastness of the region. However, what is likely is that you will finish your yacht rental vacation in the same location that you started. For example, the majority of  British Virgin Island yacht charters will begin and end in St Thomas, while for Antigua yacht charters , it'll be the iconic English Harbour.

Yachts moored in a marina in the Caribbean

The Caribbean offers some of the most spellbinding berthing spots in the world. These tropical, barefoot hotspots are of the finest calibre, surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery, and often feature award-winning restaurants, hip boutiques, beach bars and more.

But which marinas are the best? Below are some charter favorites:

  • Falmouth Harbour, Antigua: impressive marina facilities and scenery, catering to yachts up to 100m.
  • Marina Fort Louis, Saint Martin: offers 150 berths for yachts up to 79m.
  • Crown Bay in St Thomas (USVI): full-serviced marina with 99 slips, including 16 berths for superyachts up to 60m
  • Port Louis Marina, Grenada: idyllically located, with 227 moorings for yachts up to 91m.
  • Port de Gustavia, Saint Barts: widely regarded as one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world, accommodating up to 152 yachts up to 152m.
  • Puerto Del Rey, Puerto Rico : conveniently located as a jumping off point for yacht charters incorporating the Virgin Islands and Lesser Antilles, this marina has plentiful wet slips, including capacity for yachts up to 200ft (60m) LOA.

Falmouth Harbour in the Caribbean

We strongly advise booking through a qualified  yacht charter broker at least three months in advance for all Caribbean yacht charters. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.

This also ensures your yacht broker has enough time to craft a carefully curated itinerary and secure an overnight berth in the most popular Caribbean marinas.

Caribbean Yacht Charter Q&A

The best time to visit the Caribbean is generally December to April, when it's a little cooler and less humid. But the best month to visit can differ depending on the island, budget and interests you have. For example, some yacht charter guests may decide to visit May to June and late November, when weather is still fantastic but there are fewer crowds.

We advise booking your Caribbean yacht rental at least three months in advance to ensure you get the yacht you desire. The longer you leave it, the fewer choices you will have to rent in the Caribbean.

For your Caribbean superyacht charter, you will need to provide a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee as a deposit. This is payable once the contract has been signed.

When booking a Caribbean yacht rental, do keep in mind the costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). The APA is usually paid in advance of the charter and is commonly set at 30% of the charter fee. This allowance covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food and drinks, as well as any special requests. 

Please consult your yacht charter broker for any other costs you may need to factor in for your yacht charter in the Caribbean.

Caribbean Yachting Season

The Caribbean high season for yacht charters runs from mid-December to early May, with Christmas and New Year’s the most popular and busiest times of the year. But due to the islands’ locations near the equator, temperatures remain ideal throughout the year, making off-season charters just as enjoyable.

Keep in mind, however, that there is an increased chance for storms and hurricanes during the summer season, mainly from mid-August to mid-November. Most charter yachts leave the area during that time.

Area Guide: Caribbean Charter Destinations

A girl snorkeling in the BVI

Are you ready to explore all that the Caribbean has to offer? There are three main island areas in the Caribbean, all fantastic destinations for Caribbean charter yacht vacations.

The Grenadines

The Grenadines are untouched by mass tourism and industry, and they are the perfect charter destination if you are looking for solitude and you enjoy exploring remote areas. A great combination of lush rain forests and sandy beaches awaits!

This is a great summer charter destination because the islands aren’t usually affected by hurricanes.

The Leeward Islands

Leeward Islands yacht rentals offer the perfect combination of luxury and solitude. You can visit the glitzy islands of St. Maarten and St. Barts one day and get lost in the remoteness and tranquility of Anguilla the next day.

These islands are rich in history and offer great restaurants, upscale resorts, and trendy harbors.

The Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands are the perfect location for first-time charterers and families because of their calm waters, protected natural anchorages, and short distances between the islands.

The BVI are a great destination for a catamaran or sailing yacht charter. Caribbean locations here have constant yet mild trade winds year round, and the area offers fantastic diving and snorkeling.

Where Can I Charter a Yacht?

When you choose Worldwide Boat as your Caribbean yacht charter broker, we can help you charter a luxury boat anywhere in the Caribbean or anywhere else you’d like to go, from the Mediterranean to Alaska to the Galapagos Islands.

How Do I Book a Private Yacht?

The best Caribbean yacht charters can be booked in just a few easy steps:

  • Choose our experienced yacht charter specialists to assist you through the process of booking a yacht.
  • Search by destination or by boat, or use our advanced search tool to filter your options by the number of guests, yacht type, destination, and/or your budget.
  • Pick the option that best fits your needs and your dream vacation.
  • Reserve your yacht by signing a contract with the yacht owner.
  • Enjoy your vacation!

How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean?

Weekly rates for Caribbean boat charters are dependent on a number of factors, including the type of yacht, the season, and your destination. Motor yachts, for example, typically range from $15,000 (yachts up to 80 feet) to $150,000 or more (yachts over 150 feet) per week.

During the Caribbean high season (Christmas, New Year’s, and January/February), yacht charter Caribbean prices tend to increase slightly. Areas with large charter fleets, like St. Martin, tend to have more competitive pricing than areas with smaller fleets.

How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Catamaran in the Caribbean?

Most catamarans offer all-inclusive rates, which start at $10,000 for catamarans under 50 feet and run up to $50,000 or more for catamarans of 80 feet or more. The Caribbean is an ideal destination for a catamaran charter, and across the region, you’ll find a variety of sailing and power cats available for charter.

Ultimately, the cost of a catamaran charter is dependent on the time you visit, where you go, local taxes, and the number of ports you visit. A luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean’s high season (New Year’s or Christmas) will cost significantly more than a catamaran charter in summer.

Can I Rent a Yacht for a Day?

Rates for yacht rentals are usually weekly, but when you talk to a Caribbean yacht charter broker at Worldwide Boat, we can look at your budget, plans, and interests to help you get the best experience possible.

Caribbean Yachting Hotspots

Caribbean sailing charters give you access to white-sand beaches and laid-back island vibes, but they can also offer action-packed itineraries. From island-hopping and hiking to snorkeling and cliff-jumping, adventure awaits on a Caribbean yacht charter!

Some of the region’s must-see destinations include:

  • St. Martin : Known for its upscale eateries and amazing cuisine, as well as high-end spas, shopping and casinos, St. Martin is the yachting capital of the Caribbean. This island is part French and part Dutch, and it’s close to islands like St. Barts and Anguilla, making it a favorite jumping-off point for island-hopping adventures.
  • St. Barts : St. Barts (sometimes called St. Barths) beckons A-listers to its posh beach clubs, fashionable shops, and five-star eateries. Visitors will find a collection of truly spectacular powdery beaches, Michelin-starred restaurants, and excellent shoreside amenities, all within cruising distance of St. Martin.
  • Antigua : Antigua epitomizes the relaxation and bliss of the Caribbean. Known for its 365 beaches (one for every day of the year), the tiny island is a sailor’s dream, offering warm waters, steady winds, safe anchorages, and a lively regatta calendar.
  • Grenada : Grenada is revered for its beautiful beaches, abundant marine wildlife, and vibrant cuisine (spiced with local nutmeg, mace, and allspice). Spend a day relaxing on Grand Anse Beach, which is consistently ranked one of the best in the world. Island-hop to neighboring isles like Petite Martinique, or spend a day snorkeling one of Grenada’s famous reefs.
  • Anguilla : Anguilla is one of the most tranquil Leeward islands. Escape to Dream Bay or one of the numerous nearby coral cays for some supreme R&R. A diving and snorkeling mecca, Anguilla is home to some of the Caribbean’s best shipwreck dives. Plus, the island boasts a calendar of must-see festivals and events, including a jazz festival in November and Carnival in August.

Why Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean?

The best Caribbean yacht charters offer a bit of everything: Relaxation, sun-soaked beaches, delicious culinary treats, refreshing rum-infused cocktails, and calm waters for cruising. Here are some highlights:

The Inescapable Beauty of White-Sand Beaches

Caribbean beaches have almost a mythical quality to them. It’s no wonder explorers were once willing to board wooden ships and travel thousands of miles just to see them in person.

Every island offers a selection of untouched and charming beaches for you to explore. From one-of-a-kind places like “Pig Beach” in the Bahamas to the cosmopolitan Great Bay Beach in Philipsburg, St. Martin, the beaches across the Caribbean offer legendary sights and attractions.

Colorful Celebrations and Friendly Faces

The Caribbean is known for its parades, bars, nightclubs, and parties, not to mention world-famous cocktails. When you want to step off of your luxury yacht charter, Caribbean shores and islands offer a world of fun to immerse yourself in.

A few must-see events include the St. Barth’s Bucket (if you’re into superyacht racing), the annual Carnival celebration, and the St. Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival .

Amazing Wildlife and Adventure

If snorkeling in vibrant and colorful coral reefs, diving into underwater museums, or parasailing over clear waters are some of the items on your bucket list, you can certainly get it all done during your visit to the Caribbean.

You’ll find a variety of unique adventures, from the underwater sculpture park of the Grenadines to the natural seaside baths in Virgin Gorda and hiking the Pitons in St. Lucia. The Caribbean gives you to plenty of chances to get outside and enjoy yourself.

Nonstop Relaxation

Because the area is so close to the equator, the Caribbean offers warm weather to lounge in all year round. Feel pampered aboard a luxury crewed rental yacht, and then feel calm while sinking your toes into soft, powdery white sand. Enjoy the spas, rum cocktails, and quiet, isolated beaches: Charter guests can experience supreme relaxation in the Caribbean.

Color and Contrast: the Complete Sailboat Vacation

Simply the perfect place to take a bareboat or skippered sailing holiday. Such a diverse collection of islands dotting the clear blue sea, each with its own unique appeal. Local cultures that fascinate and entertain, offering a welcome that keeps charterers returning to these waters year after year. With its 7,000 Islands and 28 Island nations, reliable trade winds and long sailing season, the Caribbean is a region that offers an endless amount of holiday enjoyment.

At Sail Connections, we work with all the best charter operators in the Caribbean, sorting through all the available boats and presenting all the best options to suit your vacation plans. Some of our operators offer extra services that are unique to their destinations. We personalize your proposal and give you the benefit of our knowledge and local contacts, to deliver a fabulous sailing holiday wherever there's a boat to charter in the Caribbean. 

Charter Sailing in the Caribbean

The Caribbean's numerous islands give you so many fabulous places to explore, so many diverse cultures to experience, that the permutations for planning a sailing charter are simply too numerous to list. The sailing distances between territories can be very short, and there are countless yacht charter bases scattered across the region. That opens the door to all manner of opportunities – from a seven-day sail around one distinct island nation to a multi-week one-way charter that takes in a wide variety of cultures and geographical features.

The Caribbean yacht charter season is busy from November through July. The peak season is mid-December to March, when winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers.

The hurricane season arrives late July and can last until early October, although storms here are rare and tend to deflect northwards towards the USA rather than hit the Caribbean. These months have their advantages in that they are the least costly for chartering, particularly in the British Virgin Islands. At that time of year it is in fact more likely to encounter light winds than it is storms.

As with many yacht charter locations, the shoulder season can be the best time to charter a yacht. In the Carribean that's from April to July. There are less shore-based visitors then, yet you can expect settled and sunny weather with warm, steady breezes prevailing.

We have access to over 30 charter bases in the region, from where you can take a sailboat vacation like no other. We select from the best boats available and guide you into the ideal sailing adventure that matches your interests and level of experience. The sailing options here are just about endless. Hopefully these pages will help you on your way to your much-anticipated Caribbean sailing holiday.

Regional Map of the Main Charter Sailing Areas

A one-way cruise: martinique to grenada, there are quite simply countless itinerary options for sailing the caribbean. for many charterers a downwind cruise offers the crew conditions for maximum enjoyment. so here's a sample north to south course plan that gives you the prevailing breeze abaft. .

Martinique waterfront

Waterfront at Fort de France, Martinique's largest town

Sailing from Martinique to Grenanda you can expect winds primarily from the northeast, especially around peak season either side of Christmas. Sailing this course involves short stretches of open water, with a stiff and steady breeze on your aft quarter. That makes for quick passages with most enjoyable sailing to a choice of Islands, whether it be for a lunch stop and a snorkel, or an overnight stay.

The eastern Caribbean islands that form a distinctive arc on the map are collectively the Lesser Antilles, a mixture of soverign states and territories governed by various powers. A trip along some of this chain exposes the voyager to a wide variety of cultures and customs in places that all sit in the idyllic picture-postcard surroundings of the movies and travel brochures. 

Starting in Martinique and sailing south, you are exploring the Windward Island group of the Antilles.

Tobago-cays

Wildlife viewing at its finest in the Tobago Cays

Like most of this group, Martinique was orginally colonised by France, and French flair is still in evidence there today. Martinique offers excellent on-shore facilities for the visitor, and is a popular base for boat charters. The island is mountainous, but with plenty of white sandy beaches to enjoy, especially in the south.

The next island is St Lucia. It's some 30 nautical miles to Rodney Bay on St Lucia's northwest, so to get there requires an early start. There are several top spots to visit down the island's sheltered western coast. Take time out to investigate Les Deux Pitons.

Another long but relaxing sail to St Vincent and the Grenadines, so-named because of their joint French and British colonial history. St Vincent has its Blue Lagoon that you'll probably overnight in, while the Grenadines island group, some of which confusingly belong to Grenada, provide numerous anchoring options.

Grenadines

Happy charterers enjoying their time ashore in the Grenadines

The Grenadines stretch all the way to Grenada, your final port of call, making this part of the voyage very convenient for a leisurely sail. Call in at one of the uninhabited Tobago cays for a real taste of desert island living, if only for a few hours.

Once offshore Carriacou you are in Grenadan territory. Grenada, like St Lucia & St Vincent and the Grenadines, is now an independent member of the British Commonwealth, but with historical French influence. This is the 'Island of Spice' where nutmeg and mace production are important to the economy. As is tourism, and there is plenty to entertain you before concluding your vacation and departing these fabulous sailing waters.

Once you have experienced all the pleasures of sailing the Caribbean, chances are you'll be back one day for more.

This was one of the very best trips we’ve ever taken and by far the best vacation we’ve taken in the Caribbean.  We have been to many islands and resorts over the last 30 years; all wonderful experiences, but pale in comparison to this vacation.

Beatriz was great in assisting us to choose the right catamaran for 8 of us including two kids on relative short notice and very helpful In answering all kinds of question about the boat, the crew , contract and the possible route.Definitely recommend you use their expertise in choosing your boat and crew  as I will also do the next time I do a charter in the islands .

Jorge Canellas

Fabiola took all the time I needed to choose the perfect yacht vacation for my friends and I for my special birthday.  In the end, all of my needs were met and we had the vacation of a lifetime.  She was extremely patient in explaining all the ins and outs and what to look for as I was choosing the perfect yacht and I so appreciate that.  She also made all the paperwork and pre-vacation planning a breeze.  Thank you Sail Play Dine Yacht Charters!

The Caribbean is a year-round charter destination. Hurricane season is from the beginning of June through to the end of November. September and October can generally see more hurricane activity. Windy conditions can be encountered during winter, with calmer conditions during April – June. However, the weather changes and is unpredictable.

Say goodbye to crowds, waiting in lines, and fixed itineraries. Your private yacht has a dedicated crew, various amenities, water toys to enjoy at will, and a tender to take you ashore whenever you please.

Do I need Travel Protection?

We recommend that you protect your vacation investment against various possible losses over which you have no control by purchasing travel protection. We will provide travel protection quotes based on the households on the charter and each person’s date of birth. It is necessary to send us this information.

Please Note: To be eligible for the waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusion, the protection plan must be purchased within 15 days (Travel Basic) or 21 days (Travel Select) from when you make your initial trip deposit. However, the plan can be purchased anytime before departure.

The product descriptions are only summaries and may be changed without notice. The full coverage terms and details, including limitations and exclusions, are contained in the insurance policy.

It depends on the yacht and owner’s policies. Some yachts may allow pets, while others may not. If you wish to bring a pet, kindly inform us, and we’ll check with the yacht owner to see if it’s possible.

Are children allowed on yacht charters?

CRUISING GUIDE: CARIBBEAN SAILING YACHT CHARTERS

The best time to visit the Caribbean by sailing yacht charter is between December and April. Although the region is known for having a permanently glorious climate, averaging between 24-29°C/75.2-84.2°F all year round, a visit during these months offers lower humidity and less chance of rainfall.

Maximising your island-hopping experience onboard a Carribean sailing yacht charter allows you to explore every little bay that takes your fancy. Drop anchor by tiny secluded coves and discover deserted islands where you really can get away from it all.

For skippered Caribbean sailing holidays, look no further than Oyster. Our beautiful boats are light and spacious with luxurious furnishings that prioritise comfort without compromising on practicality. Large windows below decks mean you’ll be able to spot every single palm tree that dots the horizon, while our highly-professional crew come equipped with a local’s knowledge of every part of the Caribbean.

Explore this stunning region on one of our  luxury sailing yachts , or read on to learn about sailing the beautiful island groups of the Caribbean.

Sailing in the British Virgin Islands

An iconic cruising ground for Carribean sailing holidays, the BVIs are not to be missed. With nightlife that will have you dancing until dawn, seafood restaurants with fresh tuna and gin-clear waters offering perfect conditions for snorkelling and diving, this is the epitome of island living. Sail out to the caves at Norman Island to swim amongst exotic sea life and marvel at the vibrant colours. For charter guests who want nothing more than to lie on the sand and relax, cruise over to Anguilla, where the island’s flat topography makes for some truly phenomenal beaches. As the sun begins to set, head to The Rum Bar at Cooper Island, or for those who want to party all night, why not hop between the many lively bars on Jost Van Dyke.

The BVIs provide a delightful climate throughout the peak charter season: a perfect escape from the colder weather of the Northern Hemisphere.

Sailing in the Windward Islands

The Windward Islands deliver surprise after surprise on any Carribean sailing holiday, with each island full of its own unique character. St Lucia promises a vibrant history and rugged landscape - hike the Pitons for some truly incredible views across the islands and out to sea. Bequia is considered by some as the perfect Caribbean island, its difficult to get to by aeroplane meaning it has been protected from mass tourism, preserving all of its natural beauty. Glamourous Mustique is the favourite holiday spot of A-List celebrities and supermodels. However, despite its famous visitors, this three-mile haven is surprisingly low-key, with only one (extremely elegant) hotel on the island.

Authentic Caribbean living and jaw-dropping natural beauty await in the Grenadines - a 35-island region that lies within the Windwards. Snorkel in the Tobago Cays to meet friendly marine turtles and revel in the untouched landscape. Head to Mayreau for the wild nightlife and swim at best-kept-secret beach Salt Whistle Bay. Try your hand at kiteboarding on Union Island, and hang out with the locals in this laid-back set of villages. Caribbean sailing yacht charterers will love the variety of experiences that await in this cruising ground.

Head to the Windward Islands from December through to April to experience them at their best, with a multitude of fantastic events across all the islands. Look out for the Barbados Film Festival, now in its third edition and normally held in late January, or the lively Carriacou Carnival in mid-February. Also, visit in February to experience the yearly St. Vincent Yacht Club Regatta, or in March for the Saint Vincent’s Blues and Rhythms Festival.

Sailing in the Leeward islands

The Leeward Islands are famous for their good sailing winds, making them a must-visit destination for experienced sailors or those on skippered Caribbean sailing holidays, where the crew will guide your vessel while you simply relax. Head to Antigua, one of the most important superyacht hubs in the Caribbean, for unmatched glamour and a rich history. Don’t leave without touring Nelson’s Dockyard, the preserved 18th-century base of the British Fleet in the West Indies.

As the smallest landmass ever to be divided between two nations, St Martin/St Maarten offers a chance to experience both French and Dutch culture while revelling in the island’s majestic green peaks and crystal-clear waters. Heavenly St Barts has not one but fourteen gorgeous beaches at which to stretch out and do nothing or to get your pulse racing with some exhilarating water sports. Meanwhile, on St Kitts and Nevis, lose yourself in sugar plantation history at the UNESCO-protected Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. This is an island group for those with an adventurous spirit, but it wouldn’t be a Caribbean sailing yacht charter destination without also being packed full of amazing beaches upon which you can soak up the sun.

In peak sailing season, the Leeward Islands offer the lowest humidity of all the Caribbean islands - perfect for keeping cool during those more challenging hikes - and temperatures average between 27°C/81°F and 35°C/95°F, ideal for lazy days on the beach.

  • Croatia (Dubrovnik)

The Bahamas

The Bahamas are renowned for their crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches, making them a top destination for yacht charters. With over 700 islands to explore, you can find secluded spots for relaxation or lively areas for activities. Some highlights include remote sandbars and the colorful, historic settlements in the Abacos. The close proximity to the US and affordable direct flights from the mainland makes it an easily accessible paradise for North American travelers.

The British Virgin Islands

Known as a sailing paradise, the British Virgin Islands offer easy navigation, consistent trade winds, and numerous anchorages, perfect for both experienced sailors and novices. The pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and lively Caribbean culture create an idyllic setting for an unforgettable island-hopping experience. While the winter is considered the high season, BVI’s subtropical climate, moderated by trade winds, makes it an ideal sailing destination year-round. 

Croatia’s Adriatic coastline is dotted with historic towns like Dubrovnik and Split, offering a mix of ancient history and modern amenities. The calm seas and numerous islands make it a great destination for beginners. Navigare Yachting’s bases in Dubrovnik and Trogir provide easy access to different parts of this beautiful region. A one-way charter with Navigare, made possible by our dual charter bases, is an incredible way to maximize your sailing itinerary and explore a larger part of the Dalmatian Coast. 

Greece combines stunning scenery, ancient history, and vibrant culture, making it a fantastic yacht charter destination. Sail through the Aegean Sea to explore dramatic coastlines, crystal-clear waters, and charming villages. Whether you choose to explore the Cyclades or the Saronic Gulf, the Greek coastal landscapes won’t disappoint. Enjoy Greek local cuisine, hospitality, breathtaking nature, and ancient ruins as you island-hop your way through this historic land.

Each of these destinations offers unique experiences, scenic beauty, and a variety of activities that make them ideal for a yacht charter vacation. Let’s dive into what makes each of these destinations great for island-hopping, along with some things to keep in mind to help you decide your perfect sailing getaway. Note that these are only a few hand-picked reasons that make these destinations stand out as excellent sailing locations, but it’s far from an exhaustive list.

What Makes It a Great Sailing Destination:

  • Clear, Turquoise Water and Beautiful Beaches: The Bahamas are renowned for their crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches, including some of the most photographed sand bars and beaches in the world.
  • Easily Accessible: Its close proximity to Florida, makes the Bahamas easily accessible for North American travelers. Flights are usually direct, inexpensive, and offered by almost all major North American airlines.
  • Variety of Islands: With over 700 islands, the Bahamas is an island-hopping paradise. From the colorful, historic villages in the Abacos to the remote natural wonders of the Exumas, there is no shortage of islands to explore.
  • Vibrant Marine Life: The Bahamas’ diverse marine life makes it an excellent destination for snorkeling and scuba diving. Marine explorers and vacationers have the opportunity to spot colorful fish, including clown fish, and other marine species such as conch, lobster, sea turtles, dolphins, sharks, barracudas, starfish, and a range of coral varieties.  
  • Friendly Locals and Laid-Back Culture: The relaxed vibes, population of friendly locals, and laid-back Caribbean culture create the perfect setting for a stress-free getaway.
  • Rich History: North America may not boast as many historical sites as Europe, but the Bahamas stands out from the crowd as a surprisingly historical destination. From the world-famous Elbow Reef Lighthouse, the only still standing lighthouse in the world run with kerosene, to the family-owned sail shop in Man-O-War Cay reflecting the island’s boat-building heritage, Bahamas will easily satisfy any history-loving traveler.

Getaway Planning Notes:

  • The Bahamas can be crowded during peak season (Dec-March).
  • Far away for European travelers

  • A Sailing Paradise: Hands down one of the best sailing destinations in the world thanks to its ideal sailing conditions, low risk of extreme weather, and a subtropical climate that boasts warm temperatures year-round, the British Virgin Islands stands out as a sailing gem even next to its Caribbean neighbors.  
  • Easy Navigation: Short distances between islands and protected waters make it ideal for beginner sailors. With consistent trade winds that keep the humidity low, a calm sea state, and overall predictable weather, the British Virgin Islands is a pleasant sailing destination that is well-suitable for both beginners and experienced sailors.
  • Natural Beauty: Pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and lush landscapes combine to create one of the most stunning Caribbean destinations.
  • Plenty of anchorages and mooring spots: Whether you are looking for a secluded anchorage to spend a few hours swimming and snorkeling or a mooring ball to enjoy dinner onshore, you won’t have any trouble finding it. The BVI is full of beautiful anchorages and there is no shortage of mooring places, which reflects the islands’ rich boating culture.
  • Vibrant Caribbean Culture: From vibrant carnivals and joyful festivals to the lively full moon parties at Trellis Bay, the people in the BVI know how to have fun! The BVI’s vibrant Caribbean culture is evident in the many celebrations throughout the year, such as Christmas in July and the Emancipation Festival, yet offers an easy-going and laid-back atmosphere ideal for a relaxing vacation.
  • Authentic Cuisine: Watch the sunset paint the sky in a vibrant display of colors as the Caribbean spices fill the air. Try a freshly caught lobster at one of the seaside restaurants in Anegada. Seafood, such as Caribbean conch fritters and the Catch of the Day are dishes commonly served at restaurants throughout the BVI, but it is also easy to find classics such as pizzas, burgers, salads, and steaks with a Caribbean touch.  
  • World-Famous Destinations: The BVI offers some world-famous must-see attractions, like The Baths, a beach where impressive rock formations form a maze and tidewater pools, or the famous dive sites the RMS Rhone, the Indians, and the Caves. Don’t forget to pay a visit to the Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay and try the original Painkiller drink.
  • The BVI can be crowded during the high season between December and March. During this time it can be challenging to find/reserve mooring balls.
  • There is more seasonal likelihood of adverse weather in the late summer and early fall.
  • Not as easily accessible as the Bahamas, but flights to the nearby USVI are affordable and the St. Thomas airport is only a short ferry ride away from the BVI.

  • Historic Coastal Towns: Croatia is so rich with history that no matter what town or island you visit, there will always be historical sites and museums to explore. Two of the most remarkable cities when it comes to history are the ancient cities of Split and Dubrovnik, whose history stretches back over a thousand years. The cities feature UNESCO World Heritage sites, ancient buildings, old cobblestone streets, fascinating museums, and more.
  • Diverse Landscapes: Croatia's coastline is a breathtaking mix of diverse landscapes. Sail through the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by secluded coves, dramatic cliffs, and pristine beaches perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Venture inland and you’ll discover lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and picturesque villages.
  • Rich Culture: Croatian culture is a vibrant tapestry of Mediterranean, Central European, and Balkan influences, and this rich heritage is reflected in every aspect of life here. The local cuisine is a highlight, with fresh seafood, olive oil, and locally grown wines renowned worldwide. Traditional dishes like "peka" and "pašticada" offer a taste of the authentic flavors of the region. Croatian hospitality is another cornerstone of the culture—locals are known for their warmth and generosity, ensuring visitors feel welcome wherever they go.
  • Diverse Experiences: The contrast between the peaceful, remote islands and the bustling port cities like Split and Hvar makes Croatia a truly dynamic destination where different types of travelers can find exactly what they are looking for. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or vibrant nightlife, Croatia offers it all.
  • One-Way Charters: Since Navigare has two award-winning charter bases in Croatia, one in Trogir (Split) and the other one in Dubrovnik, we are able to offer charter guests the rare and incredible opportunity to charter one-way, meaning that you check in at one base and checkout at the other. With this setup, charter guests are able to explore a much larger portion of the Dalmatian Coast. Without the need to turn around and go back halfway through their trip, charter guests are able to visit almost twice as many islands during a one-way charter as they would on a traditional charter. 
  • Some tourist locations in Croatia, and all around Europe, can be crowded during the summer. Finding a spot in the popular marinas can be more challenging during peak season.
  • The Med sailing season runs from late April through early November.

sailing yacht charter caribbean

  • Ancient History: Greece is a paradise for history buffs, where every island you sail to has a tale rooted in ancient times. Imagine dropping anchor and stepping ashore in old coastal towns like Hydra where the absence of cars still makes donkey-drawn carriages one of the main means of transportation. The echoes of the past are everywhere, from the ruins of temples dedicated to gods of old to ancient theaters still standing proudly against the passage of time. Each destination offers a glimpse into a world that shaped Western civilization, making every stop on your journey a step back in time.
  • Stunning Scenery: Besides a rich history, Greece is also famous for its breathtaking landscapes where dramatic coastlines meet crystal-clear water. Picture yourself sailing past towering cliffs that plunge into the deep blue sea, or anchoring in a secluded bay surrounded by rugged mountains and olive groves. The Aegean Sea offers a variety of stunning backdrops, from the white-washed buildings in Mykonos to the lush green hills above Kyparissi.
  • Vibrant Culture: Greek culture is a lively blend of ancient traditions and modern hospitality, making every visit a rich and immersive experience. Whether you’re savoring a meal at a seaside taverna or joining in the festivities of a local festival, you’ll be welcomed with open arms. The Greeks are known for their friendliness towards visitors and this hospitality is evident in the warmth with which they approach people.
  • Delicious Cuisine: Greek cuisine is a true reflection of the country’s rich cultural heritage, with dishes that are as varied as they are flavorful. Imagine dining on fresh seafood grilled to perfection, or indulging in traditional dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, and spanakopita. The Mediterranean diet, with its emphasis on fresh, local ingredients, is at its finest here. Don’t miss out on the chance to sample local delicacies like feta cheese, olives, and honey, all of which are integral to the Greek culinary experience. And of course, a meal in Greece isn’t complete without a glass of locally produced wine or a shot of ouzo to toast the day.
  • Diverse Experiences: Similar to Croatia, Greece offers a wealth of experiences that cater to every type of traveler, making it a versatile destination that can be as relaxing or as adventurous as you wish. Whether you’re exploring the lively nightlife of Mykonos, discovering hidden coves on the quieter islands of the Cyclades, or hiking through the rugged terrain of the Peloponnese, Greece has something for everyone.
  • Seasonal Meltemi winds in the Aegean can be challenging for beginner sailors.
  • Popular islands can be crowded during the summer months, which can make it difficult to find docking spots in the marinas.
  • Limited sailing season (May through October).

Choose Your Ideal Sailing Getaway

Choosing the right yacht charter destination for your ideal getaway depends on your preferences, sailing experience, and the type of vacation you envision. Here’s a quick summary to help you decide:

  • The Bahamas: Famous for clear blue waters, excellent snorkeling, and close travel proximity to the US.
  • British Virgin Islands: Perfect for easy navigation and smooth sailing. A boating paradise combined with a vibrant Caribbean culture.
  • Croatia: Famous for historic coastal towns, calm seas, and stunning landscapes along the Dalmatian archipelago.
  • Greece: A breathtaking Mediterrannean destination with ancient history, warm Aegean culture, delicious cuisine, and varied sailing routes.
