charter a yacht in the caribbean

As one of the most popular locations in the world, second only to the Mediterranean in popularity, the types of boats available for rental in the Caribbean include all the main types such as motor, sailing, skippered, crewed yachts, catamarans, power boats, sailboat, luxury yachts as well as the ever growing superyacht and mega yachts. Both beginner and experts alike are drawn to the Caribbean for its warm winds, protected waterways and beautiful anchorages. The Caribbean is a special place that has beautiful tropical islands that lie snug within a tropical island necklace as laid out on a large blue sea.

The Caribbean is also steeped in a fertile history of sailing adventure. Ever since the days of galleons and pirates the Caribbean has been host to some of the most satisfying sailing anywhere in the world. On your Caribbean yachting vacation you can find, an incredible amount of choice and variety and all in a relatively small area - thriving bars and Caribbean nightlife; first rate cuisine; spectacular white powder beaches; lush tropical rain forest; cloud-fringed mountain peaks; exotic bird life; amazing diving and snorkeling and a serene blend of European sophistication and warm Caribbean hospitality. The problem is, with so many superb Caribbean yachting locations and charter boats to choose form, where do you start when planning a holiday? With CharterWorld of course…

The Time of Year to Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean:

The main Caribbean sailing season runs from November through to July. The Caribbean primary high season is from mid-December to March, when the winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers. The hurricane season is from late July to early October, although hurricanes are in general rare in the southern Caribbean. Unfortunately, they can be prevalent around Cuba, Bahamas and the east coast of the U.S. every few years. This is the least expensive time for chartering in the Caribbean and there are some really good deals are available. However, as well as running the risk of storms, this time of year also tends to be associated with lighter (or non-existent) winds.

As with many boating locations the Caribbean shoulder season, in this case from April to July, is also a great time to charter a boat as there are less shore based visitors, some lovely settled sunny weather, and warm yet steady breeze. The Caribbean is made up of many different multi-nation (and multi-cultural) volcanic islands. There are amazing sailing grounds stretching from Cuba and Jamaica in the west, through the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands, finishing with Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela.

Caribbean Yachting Hot Spots:

Here is a brief list of some of the Caribbean hot spots to consider experiencing when you rent a luxury crewed charter yacht. This is by no means an extensive list and there is more information on things to see and do in the Caribbean under each Caribbean private yacht location. Also, when you hire a yacht with us we will supply you with a customised hand written itinerary suggestion so that you and your crew have a few ideas to choose from on your charter.

General Places/Events Worthy of Experiencing:

- Gustavia Harbour in St Barts - shopping, nightlife, restaurants and European quintessence - Nelson in Dockyards in Antigua - history and beauty in a harbour - Sunset in St Lucia - St Kitts for the beauty, history and magnificent views from Brimstone Hill Fortress - Anegada for its deserted beaches, fringed reefs and the unique flora and fauna of the salt ponds, home to the pink flamingo - The BVIs for the beautiful beaches and anchorages - Guadeloupe for its diversity - one side offers cosmopolitan flair, bordered by beaches and coral reefs and the other has open lands with the fertile, volcanic peaks , rain forest and waterfalls.

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.

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:

What Type of Charter Yacht?

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. There is an endless number of places to visit in the Caribbean, from smaller islands to absolutely must be seen locations like St. Barts.

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.

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.

Sailing Around Windward and Leeward Islands of the Caribbean

The  Caribbean covers a huge region of widely spread islands 2,000 miles (3,218 km) long.

The larger ones have become sovereign countries with broad range of amenities for sailors, while the smaller ones still preserve its untouched rural charm and tranquility.

From the western tip of Cuba to the Leewards in the east, then south to the top of South America and along Venezuela’s north coast – this chain of islands has created a hook-like shape around the Caribbean Sea. Location like this is always an enticing bait for sailing - perfect climate and  array of diverse cultures, customs, cuisines and experiences, water sports and an unlimited number of other attractions.

Planning sailing vacations in Caribbean, you may wish to consider these groupings of the islands as points of your itinerary, as they contain many popular cruising areas and harbor stops. There is no doubt that in the scope of Caribbean bareboat or skippered yacht charters  both groups have their charms and countless reasons to explore, which definitely makes it a great sailing destination.

Caribbean yacht rentals

12 Knots offers eleven yacht charter bases in the Caribbean region, each with unique individual character, providing sailing experience for everyone, from a novice to an experienced sailor. This region comprises more than 700 hundred islands and islets, so you can choose Caribbean sailing vacations with shot and easy hops or more challenging passages.

Taking Caribbean sailing vacations, you will find warm and steady trade winds in picturesque surroundings; discover plenty of great bars and authentic cuisine!

It’s up to you, choosing between the Leeward Caribbean islands with short and easy hops with line-of-sight sailing and the Windward with more challenging open water passages. Wherever you go, you will return home relaxed, refreshed and ready to start planning your next Caribbean sailing adventure.

The Windward islands

Windward Islands located at the southern end of the Caribbean island chain and stretch for over 300 miles to the south-eastern end of the Caribbean Sea. The Windward Islands are simply called so due to their position as they are exposed to the northeast trade winds. For experienced sailors, it can be right choice to sail among the four main islands: Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenada. They lay far apart each other allowing open ocean sailing and while steady easterly trade winds, make passages north or south easy. With constant 12 to 25 knots wind, Caribbean sailing is among best in the world. Night anchorages in peaceful and protected areas give sailors freedom to explore and soak up British and French island culture. The islands of St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenada  were British colonies until they gained independence during the 1970s. Martinique is still an overseas department of France.

The climate of the Windward Islands is definitely a marine one.

When tropical heat reaches its peak, steady trade winds and daily sea breezes come to rescue.

Typically, dry and wet seasons go hand in hand here. Although the priority of more rainfalls is given to the eastern side of the islands mainly due to the prevailing north-east trade winds there.

The islands east of Puerto Rico were called “Windward Islands” by the Spanish, while the islands south of Puerto Rico were named as “Leewards “. And Dominica positions itself right on the border line between the Windward and the Leeward Islands.

Long time ago some of the islands used to be French colonies, subsequently gained its name as The French Antilles.

The population of the Windward Islands is mostly of African origin, with some exceptions of Chinese and Caucasians. The present day Windward Islands will welcome tourists with upscale resorts, stunning beaches and pleasant sunny weather.

After cruising through the Windward Islands, you may wish to set sails to the Leeward Islands.

The Leeward islands

The Leeward islands are located on the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea and form the northeastern boundary between Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean, extending from Puerto Rico to the Windward Islands, forming part of the Lesser Antilles chain.

Although 700 miles long stretch of these magnificent isles mostly constitute the whole body of the Leewards, it provides the abundance of enjoyment: quaint fishing spots, ancient ruins and delicious authentic cuisine.

Blessed with balmy temperatures all around the year, The Leeward Islands are called leeward because they're away from the wind or downwind (in the "lee"). Leeward group of Caribbean islands includes: the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Saint Martin, Saint-Barthelemy, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Barbuda, Antiqua, Redonda, Montserrat and Guadeloupe.

One of two "sister islands", St Kitts and Nevis, provides a brilliant Caribbean experience, from their picture-perfect beaches and volcanic mountains to friendly locals and layers of history to explore. For the water sport lovers, there are numerous aquatic activities that include fishing, diving, windsurfing and surfing.

St.Kitts and Nevis

Switch from sailing to inland for a change and St.Kitts and Nevis will deliver the most exceptional hiking in the Caribbean. The dormant volcano of Mount Liamuiga is considered to be the toughest to climb. And with the experienced guide you may even try to descend in its crater!

The unspoiled landscape of dry littoral forest and rainforest will present memorable show of fauna and flora. Many plants are of culinary and medical use, and some even used in black magic, as informative guides would point out its botanical value.

The wild life-lovers will not be disappointed with variety of different types of exotic animals.

Actually, the Great Salt Pond has become famous for its largest habitat of green velvet monkeys.

St. Kitts and Nevis will keep you captivated with majestic view of huge conical shells, remains of old sugar mills, along with some other plantation ruins, built in the 18 th century.

Back to water activities, and tourists will be pleased with what these two island can offer: deep-water fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and more.

Then in order to satisfy your growing appetite visit two popular restaurants: Carambola and the Shipwreck Bar and Grill to enjoy its delicious local meals.

A yacht charter in the Caribbean Leeward Islands offers sailors an unrivalled remarkable experience. Enjoy tropical landscapes, pristine palm-lined beaches and azure waters — all the joys of marine life.

Sailing over the Leeward Islands may have all the pleasures to offer: the Tropical rainforests, glittering coral reefs, and luxury sand beaches. That’s probably why most of the known tourist resorts on these islands play a critical role in their economy, as do banking and fishing. Many of them also rely on their status as a tax haven to promote offshore financial services as a source of government revenue. But there is much more to discover in the Leeward Islands. These Caribbean islands provide great variety of yachts for charter and pleasant sailing vacations. Most of the Leeward Islands are located close to each other with moderate winds from 10 to 15 knots and rather low wavers. BVI is the most popular area for Caribbean charters either bareboat or luxury crewed vacations. This is the right place for the novice sailor’s easy passages in line-of-sight sailing.

The climate of the Caribbean Leeward Islands can be described as tropical, but much drier than in Windward Islands. Though the climate does vary from island to island and can even be different in different parts of the same island. Rainfall increases with elevation and in more southerly latitudes. In some cases trade winds look like refreshing tonic to the tropical heat. There is minor seasonal variation, although the second half of the year, the wet season, is slightly warmer and rainier. The best time for sailing in the Caribbean may be the first half of the year. At this time the temperatures usually range between 81°F (27°C) and 95°F(35°C). Annual rainfall averages about 40 to 50 inches (1016 to 1270 mm). Keep in mind, that nearly every island had been severely damaged by hurricane activity in its recent history.

English is the most widespread language all around the islands, plus many of the people speak French and Dutch on the St Martin Island. Both English-based and French-based Creole are also spoken. The prevailing currency is The East Caribbean dollar. But St Martin is odd man out again, circulating the Netherlands Antilles guilder in the Dutch area and the Euro in the French region. Nevertheless, the US dollar is widely accepted throughout the islands.

If you eager to take part in sporting activities, then you may be pleased to know that cricket is widely played and followed in the former British territories. Besides, as in the rest of the Caribbean, music is also always a big part of local life. Enjoy the magical sounds of calypso, soca, steelpan, reggae, salsa and jazz — all of the mentioned has their adherents.

During your Caribbean yacht charter, you may wish to participate in some major holiday celebrations, including the St Kitts Christmas, New Year carnaval, the annual music festival, as well as Anguilla’s Emancipation Day and Culturama festival on August 1st.

The culture of the Leeward Islands is varied by different influences, including French, Dutch and West Indian. Due to that sailing around the Leeward Islands provides a wonderful choice of cuisine and some great restaurants to satisfy your affection for the finest dishes. By the way, the island of Anguilla offers true gastronomic feasts. When sailing in the Caribbean Leeward Islands, be sure to try freshly caught lobsters with a glass of wine.

Sailing the Caribbean With 12 Knots

So, while planning a Caribbean charter it is highly recommended to decide on how many islands you would like to visit in a given time frame. Research Caribbean boat rentals and determine which island you would like to have as a starting base. Then you can plan an itinerary for the week or ten days, taking into consideration distances between the islands and activities you would like to have, like island tracking, scuba diving, snorkeling, volcano hiking, or even shopping.

12 Knots team will give you plenty of useful information not only on the bareboat charter in Caribbean, but also itineraries, places of interest and peculiarities of each island.

Taking a yacht charter in the Caribbean is just a perfect combination of sailing and relaxation, authentic culture and a range of water sport activities. In a few words, this area may always offer something for everyone in these amazing islands’ surrounding.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Caribbean Yacht Charter: Everything You Should Know

charter a yacht in the caribbean

If you’re thinking about someplace warm for some sun and sailing, the Caribbean may be the first places you might think of. But what’s involved in chartering a boat in the Caribbean? Where can you go, and how is the sailing?

Since there’s a lot to know about chartering a boat, we’ve put together your comprehensive guide to putting together your perfect getaway.

Where are the Caribbean Islands?

charter a yacht in the caribbean

The Caribbean lures vacation travelers for so many reasons, but it’s very compelling for sailors. The region is steeped in romantic nautical history, and each island is a distinct cultural experience. And the weather, of course!

The Caribbean islands have warm and sunny weather all year round

Even in hurricane season, the weather is pretty nice. But when Europe and North America are buried in snow and ice during the deeps of winter, a white sand beach in the Caribbean becomes the clearest vision of paradise. At the worse, have a light sweater or sweatshirt on board for some cool but pleasant evenings. But it’s never cold , and days are always warm.

The Caribbean is a vast playground on a yacht

Most Caribbean sailing is easy and fun. Small islands lie within easy sail of each other, and most island nations are a day sail apart. The water is deep, the trade winds are consistent, and the sailing conditions are almost always perfect. Clear water and bright sun make navigation easy, and much of it is by line of sight.

You can have fun island hopping in archipelagos like the British Virgin Islands or St. Vincent and the Grenadines without changing countries. But sailing to another country, clearing in and out and getting a new stamp on your passport? That’s fun, too, and gives you an overnight change of scenery. Not just the landscape, but the entire culture and vibe can change with a few hours of sailing.

There are many beautiful resorts in the Caribbean where tourists come to stay for a week. But on a charter yacht? You get to see a lot of different resorts and gorgeous spots at your own pace.

Most Caribbean islands aren’t overrun by tourists

The mass tourism in the Caribbean is primarily from cruise ships, and in a charter yacht it’s easy to avoid them because you can get to places the cruise ships can not. Even with cruise ships plying the islands, there are very few highly built up and developed areas. And many places that are green, quiet, and inviting.

Certainly, there are resorts, hotels, and even some cities. But the islands also are places where people live , and there are wild places on all of them. Some islands have taken it further and leaned into ecotourism and preserving natural beauty. They build resorts to blend into the jungle and wilds or on the beaches, and the tours and activities get you out in nature.

Even at its most crowded, you’ll never have that packed theme-park experience. There’s always natural beauty and a calmer, more authentic pace of life.

Each island of the Caribbean has a distinct culture and unique history

People have lived in the Caribbean for thousands of years. Indigenous peoples like the Carib, Arawak, Taíno, and others settled the islands of the Caribbean long before the first Europeans arrived. Many of these populations didn’t survive the Europeans, but their cultural legacy still exists.

European colonization reshaped the Caribbean by establishing settlements, plantations, and military bases to further their government’s economic interests. Slaves imported in large numbers, along with European settlers and planters, swelled the population. The French, English, Spanish, Dutch, and Danish all established colonies (or tried to) and claimed various pieces of the islands. And every one of them left their mark.

The modern Caribbean has a mix of languages and cultures, with independent countries and territories from the U.K., France, and the Netherlands. A few islands are split, like Saint Martin/Sint Maarten, with its distinctive French and Dutch sides. People have mixed these histories to create their own cultural fusion, resulting in languages that combine native words, European languages, and other influences.

No matter which island you start on, every time you change ports, you’ll find something a little different.

There is a party-vibe in the Caribbean that you can’t find anywhere else

charter a yacht in the caribbean

Getting to the Caribbean

Most of the Caribbean is easy to get to from Europe and the United States. Most flights from the U.S. connect through somewhere in Florida, to shorten the last flight. Direct flights are available from all the major European capitols, though you may need to connect on regional airlines for some islands.

Visas and paperwork

If you’re flying in to one country for your charter and not leaving it, you’ll do all your clearing in at the airport. Visa waiver treaties allow you to visit most Caribbean countries without a complicated visa proc’re from a participating country. Everyone in your party will need a passport, of course, but any visas or stamps will happen when you arrive.

If you plan to sail between countries on your charter, visas shouldn’t pose a challenge, either. Check with your charter company for specifics, as they may have restrictions and rules about sailing ranges. And they also have paperwork you’ll need to clear the boat in when you arrive.

Flying to the islands

Flights from the United States are shorter and more numerous, but there are plenty of flights from Europe even if they’re longer because of the distance.

No matter where you’re coming from, start looking at flights before you book your charter. Look closely when booking a major carrier headed to a smaller island. There’s a chance your last hop will be on a smaller inter-island plane. So make sure you meet all the baggage requirements and limits if you have to island hop.

Flying between the islands

Regional airlines connect all the islands, so check schedules for brief visits or extended stays. Most of the planes are smaller commuter planes, and may have limitations on baggage weights, so plan well.

Currency Conversions and Payments

Because there are multiple countries and legal jurisdictions in the Caribbean, there are also many currencies. While larger businesses take credit and debit cards, your bank may charge international transaction fees, even if the island nation uses the same currency.

Much of the Caribbean has standardized on the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) which has a fixed conversion rate to U.S. dollars at $1.00 USD = $2.70 XCD. Other countries may use U.S. Dollars, Euros, or other currency.

Sometimes you can pay for things with different currencies on the spot, but don’t expect a good exchange rate. No one must accept foreign currency, and many don’t want the hassle unless you’re paying a lot more than you need to. So it’s a good idea to get a few local bills in your pocket when you arrive. It will ease your way and save you overpaying with big foreign bills.

What are the most popular destinations for yacht charters in the Caribbean?

01_St Martin Sint Maarten__Hidden Beaches St Martin

The Caribbean has over 700 islands, reefs and cays grouped into thirty different political territories. Some are very easy and popular for chartering, and many are less accessible. Islands without charter bases are still interesting to visit. But some islands like Cuba can be logistically and politically difficult to visit for a vacation, especially on a U.S. passport.

The Dominican Republic and Haiti have difficulties because of their exposed coastlines and distance from other islands. It’s not that you can’t charter in these places, but there’s a reason other places are more popular.

The most popular destinations have visa waivers with the US, EU/Schengen areas, UK, and other countries. So pre-approved visas are not needed if your passport is from those nations.

You’ll find multiple languages spoken on most islands, including creoles and local dialects. So even if you don’t speak the language, there’s a good chance you’ll find someone who speaks a language you do.

Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean: Here’s What You Need to Know

Charter a yacht in the Caribbean and sail the seas on your own time. No packed planes or big cruise lines with shared buffets—just you, your crew, and all the island vibes. So forget hopping on a plane or a cruise ship, but instead level up your travel experience with a private yacht charter.

Here, we tell you about the best destinations, the advantages of private yacht charters, costs and more.

Where is the Best Place to Charter a Private Yacht in the Caribbean?

Thinking of exploring the Caribbean on a private yacht? Fort Lauderdale is the perfect launching point for an island-hopping adventure. From here you have easy access to a multitude of islands including the Florida Keys, Cuba, the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands, and more. Plus, there are some pretty amazing companies like Moretti Yachts International that offer yacht charters out of Fort Lauderdale and can customize dream travel itineraries.

Charter a Yacht to These Destinations in the Caribbean

Located just south of Fort Lauderdale, Miami is the obvious choice if you’re looking for an easy sailing trip. It also makes for a great first stop on a longer journey out to sea. There’s so much to see and do in this dynamic Florida city, from shopping on Lincoln Avenue to checking out the street art in Wynwood, and partying at the clubs in South Beach. With a yacht charter, you can dock in one of Miami’s many marinas and immerse yourself in the buzz of the city before returning to the tranquility of the sea.

The Florida Keys

Heading further down the Atlantic Coast, the Florida Keys are a string of gorgeous islands, each offering its own vibe. Start with a snorkeling session at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, then head over to Key West to visit Ernest Hemingway’s old home. Watch the sunset at Mallory Square before heading to a waterfront restaurant for fresh seafood caught that day. Want to escape the crowds? Sail over to Dry Tortuga National Park for unspoiled beaches and clear waters.

The Bahamas are just a few hours by private yacht from Fort Lauderdale, making them the perfect choice if you’re looking to explore a new country without having to go too far. Picture cruising over aquamarine waters, stopping in at peaceful coves, and bouncing between the islands at your own pace. Along the way you can snorkel off Eleuthera, enjoy conch salad at a local beach shack, or just relax on deck with a cocktail in hand and the ocean breeze gently rippling through your hair.

If you’re feeling adventurous, a private yacht charter can take you to Cuba. Experience the beauty of old Havana, savor authentic Cuban cigars and rum, and explore the rich history of this intriguing country. Contrary to popular belief, Americans can travel to Cuba provided you have the proper license. The most common one that people look into is the ‘Support for Cuban People’ license. Many private yacht charters can walk you through the details of obtaining the license and any other permissions or permits you may need.

The British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is an archipelago of tropical islands that are perfect for exploring by boat. Think clear blue waters, compelling coastlines, and coral reefs teeming with marine life. Navigate the famous Baths of Virgin Gorda, soak up the laid-back vibes of Jost Van Dyke, or explore the underwater worlds around Anegada. With reliable trade winds and short hops between islands, BVI is an easy destination to reach from Fort Lauderdale and other points in the Caribbean.

Turks and Caicos Islands

If it’s beautiful beaches and clear turquoise waters you’re after, Turks and Caicos should be on your radar. The archipelago is made up of over 40 islands, with Providenciales being the most popular. Here you’ll find some of the best restaurants in Turks and Caicos , as well as plenty of activities to take part in, including kiteboarding, golfing and hiking. It’s a long boat ride from Fort Lauderdale to Turks and Caicos, so most people fly to the islands and charter a yacht from there.

Cayman Islands

Scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming with stingrays are just a few of the things you can do on a private yacht charter in the Cayman Islands. There are three different islands to explore: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. On each you’ll find breathtaking beaches surrounded by crystal-clear waters. The trip from Fort Lauderdale to the Cayman Islands takes a few days by boat, but it’s worth it for the spectacular scenery you’ll see on the way and when you arrive.

The Eastern Caribbean

Ready to stretch your horizons to the east? Trust us, the Eastern Caribbean has a ton of island gems just waiting to be discovered. On your list? Definitely pencil in the Virgin Islands—both British and U.S.—along with St. Maarten, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia, Barbados, and Grenada. Sure, it’s a bit of a jaunt, but the variety of landscapes, cultures, and bespoke experiences are worth the time and effort.

The Western Caribbean

Set sail south of Florida and you have a wide array of islands and coastlines to visit in the Western Caribbean. Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula includes Cozumel and Cancún, which are renowned for their white sand beaches and plethora of beach resorts. Belize and Honduras have gorgeous cayes, jungles, and ancient Mayan ruins. The Cayman Islands are also considered part of the Western Caribbean.

The Advantages of Private Yacht Charters

Another huge advantage is that you’ll have the flexibility to travel wherever you want, whenever you want. You can plan a trip based on your personal interests and preferences. Want to party in Miami clubs or hit up secluded Bahamian cays? It’s totally up to you.

The personalized service is also a major selling point. Most yacht charters come with a crew of people who are there to cater to all your needs. Think chefs whipping up dishes that’d make your foodie friends jealous and captains who know the seas like the back of their hand. It’s not just service; it’s an experience tailored just for you, minus the typical touristy fluff. Get ready for some next-level pampering.

Then there’s the opportunity to explore remote destinations. Private yachts can go where huge cruise ships can’t and places that the big tour companies don’t put on their itineraries. Forget crowded beaches. Drop anchor at secluded bays and make the sea your private swimming pool.

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

Private might sound pricey, but that doesn’t have to be the case. With a group and some savvy planning, chartering a yacht can be comparable to a stay at a chic Caribbean resort. That being said, there are a number of factors that can affect the price of your yacht charter.

The main things to consider when trying to work out how much a private yacht charter will cost are the type of yacht you want to travel on, the duration of your trip, the season, and the extras you want onboard. For example, chartering a superyacht for a month in the peak season with a full crew onboard is not going to be cheap. However, a short trip on a no-frills sailboat might not break the bank.

Are Yacht Charters All-inclusive?

Good question! When you hear “all-inclusive”, you might be picturing endless cocktails and buffet lines. But with yacht charters, it’s a different ball game. Most yacht charters come with the basics: the yacht itself, the crew (if you opt for one), and standard equipment. But beyond that, there’s a menu of options.

Want a chef to dish out culinary magic? That’s extra. Dreaming of water toys like jet skis or paddleboards? Add them to the bill. Fuel, dockage fees, and sometimes even food and beverages usually come as additional costs. However, some luxury charters do offer packages that are truly all-inclusive, covering everything from your meals to marina fees.

The key takeaway? Always read the fine print and ask questions. Know what’s included and factor that into your budget.

With so many amazing places to explore in the Caribbean that are easily reachable by boat, it’s pretty clear why private Caribbean yacht charters are so popular. On your own boat you’ll have the freedom to tailor your journey to your specific tastes and timeline. Plus, you won’t have to share deck room with anyone but your posse and the crew. So what are you waiting for? Pack your flip-flops and charter a yacht in the Caribbean!

charter a yacht in the caribbean

An individuals owner determines the price he wants to offer for his yacht while following the market. The pricing is based on metrics like the local demand, boat length,  category, crew number and the boat age. Along with this, there are several additional factors that might considerably affect pricing. These are as follows:

1.The yacht you want to charter: the main factor determining the cost of your Caribbean charter

The yacht is a significant component in defining the charter cost, although size is not the only determinant. A freshly introduced charter boat from a renowned builder with an experienced and well-liked charter crew will attract the highest pricing for its size class. Additionally, yachts with a renowned name or a legacy of famous ownership can charge a premium for their “fame.” And yachts with distinctive amenities like movies or unique water toys are also more expensive.

Furthermore, if a yacht has a space in its charter schedule, such as after an unexpected cancellation, certain brokers will sometimes provide a limited-time charter fee reduction.

Don’t make pricing the only factor when choosing a private yacht. It is essential to comprehend why prices are high or low for a particular yacht and accordingly make a decision.

2. The Caribbean destination itself: one of the factor influencing the price of a Caribbean yacht rental

In the Caribbean , there are over a thousand islands to select from, making it arguably the most excellent location for tropical yacht charters globally. You can charter in the Caribbean in three major regions: The Bahamas , the Greater Antilles, the Windward and the Leeward islands .

$2’000 USD is the minimum weekly price for a bareboat yacht rental

Bareboat charters are the most affordable alternative. You are responsible for fuel, food, and other expenditures, hiring the crew (or captaining the boat, if you’re licensed to do so), and paying the crew. Additionally, you may consider adding a skipper, hostess, or a mix of the two for bareboat charters. If you’re chartering a bareboat since you are licensed, you will be responsible for all aspects of navigating, sailing, mooring, and security.

Further, it is up to you to pick whether to cook or dine at local eateries along the road. Bareboat charters provide exceptional flexibility to explore whenever and wherever (weather permitting, of course), providing a unique vacation experience for the entire family.

At least one person in the group should be a seasoned sailor, or you may pre-arrange to have a captain on board if you’re visiting a new place for the first time and want to take it easy as a local guide down the coast.

$3’700 USD is the minimum weekly price for a skippered yacht charter

When floating, the skippers will gladly function as your guide and tour your various secluded harbors and anchorages that are often unfamiliar to most visitors. Subject to weather circumstances, he will pay heed to your desires of where you wish to travel and try his best to accommodate them.

Even if you are a novice, you will love learning to navigate the boat on your own with the assistance of a professional. It is a frequent assumption that a skippered yacht charter would cost significantly more than a bareboat hire. However, this is only sometimes the case.

$16’000 USD is the minimum weekly price for a crewed yacht charter

Crewed charter refers to a luxury charter rented with an entire crew. Generally, the crew onboard differs from charter to charter. Depending on their size, yachts may only have a captain and hostess/cook on board, or they may have a full complement of crew members, including a captain, engineer, deck assistant, experienced chef, and others.

You may make yourself as comfortable as you like. The personnel will give professional, five-star services while respecting your privacy and fulfilling your expectations.

Yacht charters in the Caribbean

Stretching across the Caribbean Sea between the southernmost tip of Florida and the Venezuelan coast, the Caribbean Islands are a massive, beautiful, and must-see archipelago. Each island boasts a unique character but there are some similarities, too, not least unspoiled shores, a friendly vibe, and a leisurely pace. It’s a destination that’s well suited to yacht vacations, so read on to discover what you need to know about these sleek on-the-water vacation home rentals, along with the best places to turn off the motor and head onshore for a while.

A quick guide to Caribbean yacht charters

Outdoor living space on a luxury yacht in the Caribbean

Before heading off to the far-flung shores of the Caribbean, a quick brush up on the basics will help ensure your yacht trip planning goes as smoothly as the sailing.

Do Caribbean yacht charters come with a crew?

In most cases, yes. The cost to rent a yacht in the Caribbean usually includes a captain, though, for an additional fee, you can also opt to have a chef and, often, other crew on board, too. If you’ve got your own captain’s credentials, typically in the form of an American Sailing Association qualification, you’ll be able to go it alone.

What are private yacht charters in the Caribbean like?

The word private says it all really. Yachts for rent in the Caribbean may vary in size and style, though all offer a stay that’s as secluded as you want it to be. The plentiful space onboard typically makes room for plush living areas and en suite cabins, not to mention feature-packed kitchens and sunny outdoor decks with hot tubs.

Cost of private yacht charters in the Caribbean

How much you’ll pay for an idyllic escape on the water depends on whether you choose a smaller affordable yacht rental or a more luxurious number, as well as how many crew members you choose to have onboard. You’ll also need to consider whether an “all-inclusive” or “plus expenses” approach to meals, drinks, and other costs suits your group best.

When’s the best time to enjoy Caribbean yacht charters?

That’s usually determined by whether you want to enjoy the best of the weather or the most affordable yacht rentals. If it’s the former, you should probably set sail between December and April. But, if it’s the latter, a yacht charter in either May or June or between late November and mid-December would likely prove a good bet.

The beauty of enjoying a yacht vacation in the Caribbean is that you don’t have to limit yourself to exploring just one island. This is a landscape that’s meant for island hopping, but that’s not to say there aren’t a few must-visit spots.

Festival vibes in the Bahamas

The Bahamas’ proximity to the Florida Keys makes it a popular and affordable choice for yacht charters from the Sunshine State. Head for the pink-sand beaches of Harbour Island or set sail for Exuma to share turquoise waters with the Caribbean’s famous swimming pigs. Then come the jubilant Bahamian festivals. For foodies, that might mean a jaunt onshore for May’s Eleuthera Pineapple Festival or June’s All Andros Crab Fest. Culture vultures, on the other hand, can soak up the vibes of spring’s Junkanoo Carnival.

Island hopping in the British Virgin Islands

It’s not unusual to hear the British Virgin Islands described as the sailing capital of the world. The allure of this particular island paradise often comes courtesy of endless sunny days and consistent winds, though the short sail times between the islands means you can pack in some serious sightseeing, even if you only rent a yacht for a few days. A crewed yacht sailing from Wickham’s Key offers the chance to explore both the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, ticking off bucket-list sights like the Virgin Gorda Baths along the way.

Intoxicating culture in Cuba

One of the Caribbean’s most unique sailing destinations is served up by Cuba, its warm waters ideal for both diving and snorkeling, and its intoxicating cities, each packed with stunning architecture, classic American cars, and old-time charm, offering plenty of reasons to head onshore for a while. Never is this truer than in Old Havana, this UNESCO-tagged World Heritage Site a medley of quaint, cobbled squares, charming plazas, oversized cigars, and unique things to do.

Affordable Yacht Charters in the Caribbean: Sailing the Seas on a Budget

charter a yacht in the caribbean

Dreaming of cruising the Caribbean’s turquoise waters, exploring idyllic islands, and indulging in the laid-back island lifestyle? Contrary to popular belief, a yacht charter in the Caribbean doesn’t have to break the bank. Affordable yacht charters offer the perfect opportunity to experience the magic of the Caribbean while staying within your budget. In this blog post, we will guide you through the essentials of finding and enjoying affordable yacht charters in the Caribbean, making your dreams of a tropical getaway a reality.

1. Choosing the Right Yacht:

When it comes to affordable yacht charters, selecting the right vessel is crucial. Opting for a smaller yacht or a catamaran can often be more budget-friendly compared to larger motor yachts. Catamarans offer more space and stability at a lower cost, making them an attractive choice for those seeking affordability without compromising on comfort. Work with a reputable yacht charter broker who can assist you in finding affordable options that match your preferences .

2. Timing Your Charter:

Timing is key when it comes to securing an affordable yacht charter in the Caribbean. Consider planning your trip during the off-peak season, which typically runs from late spring to early summer or late summer to early fall. During this time, charter rates are often lower, and you may also be able to negotiate discounts or special offers. Keep in mind that weather conditions can vary during the off-peak season, so consult with your charter broker to ensure you choose a favorable time to sail.

3. Exploring Lesser-Known Destinations:

While popular Caribbean destinations like the British Virgin Islands or St. Maarten can be more expensive, opting for lesser-known islands can help you save significantly on your yacht charter. Consider exploring destinations like Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, or the Dominican Republic, which offer stunning beauty and unique experiences at more affordable prices. These hidden gems often provide an authentic Caribbean experience away from the crowds, while still offering beautiful beaches and vibrant culture.

4. Share the Costs:

One of the most effective ways to make a yacht charter more affordable is by sharing the costs with a group of friends or family. Splitting the charter fee and other expenses among several people can significantly reduce individual costs. Look for opportunities to gather a group and plan your Caribbean adventure together. Sharing the experience with loved ones can also make the journey even more memorable and enjoyable.

5. Embrace Free and Low-Cost Activities:

While the allure of water sports and exploring remote islands is undeniable, there are also plenty of free or low-cost activities to enjoy during your yacht charter in the Caribbean. Snorkeling , swimming, hiking, and beachcombing are all fantastic ways to embrace the natural beauty of the region without spending extra money. Visit local markets, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, and take advantage of free events or festivals that may be happening during your visit.

6. Charter Length and Itinerary:

Consider the duration of your charter and the itinerary you plan. Opting for a shorter charter or focusing on a specific region can help reduce costs. Instead of trying to cover a vast area, focus on exploring a few key destinations in depth. This allows you to spend more time enjoying each location and reduces fuel and provisioning expenses associated with longer journeys.

An affordable yacht charter in the Caribbean is within reach, offering a wonderful opportunity to explore the region’s beauty and embrace its laid-back lifestyle. With careful planning, selecting the right vessel, and considering cost-saving strategies, you can enjoy a memorable Caribbean getaway without straining your budget. Immerse yourself in the turquoise waters, discover hidden gems, and create lasting memories as you sail the Caribbean seas on an affordable yacht charter.

How to choose the best yachts for charter.

charter a yacht in the caribbean

Deciding to charter a yacht can open the door to an unforgettable luxury experience on the water. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene voyage along the coast, an adventurous excursion to remote islands, or an opulent celebration at sea, choosing the best yachts for charter is crucial to realising your nautical aspirations. This comprehensive guide aims to navigate you through the intricacies of selecting the perfect yacht for your charter, from understanding different yacht types to finalising your budget and vetting charter companies.

Understanding the Different Types of Yachts Available

Yachts vary widely in their design, functionality, and intended use, offering a diverse range of options for prospective charterers. Motor yachts stand out for their impressive size and luxurious amenities, catering to guests who prioritise comfort and speed over the journey. These vessels are ideal for covering significant distances quickly, providing an unmatched level of luxury on the waves. For a more traditional sailing experience, sailing yachts rely on wind power, offering an eco-friendly option that appeals to sailing purists. 

These yachts are perfect for those who enjoy the art of sailing and the peaceful ambiance it creates. Catamarans, with their dual hulls, offer unparalleled stability and spacious interiors, making them an excellent choice for families or larger groups seeking a comfortable and safe maritime adventure. 

On the pinnacle of luxury, mega yachts provide a floating paradise, featuring state-of-the-art amenities and unparalleled opulence for the ultimate charter experience. Each yacht type offers a unique set of benefits, tailored to different chartering desires, ensuring there’s a perfect match for every sea enthusiast’s dream voyage.

Determining Your Charter Needs and Preferences

Before embarking on your luxury voyage, it’s essential to outline your yacht charter vision. Think about the journey’s length, the size of your party, and your dream destinations. Are you envisioning a sunset cruise along the Miami coastline, or do you aspire to sail across crystal-clear Caribbean waters for days? Your preferences extend beyond the itinerary. 

Reflect on how much interaction you’d like with the crew, the must-have amenities that will enhance your experience – whether that’s access to high-tech water toys or lavish en-suite cabins – and the type of activities you’re eager to partake in. Delineating these specifics early helps in pinpointing a yacht that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, ensuring your time at sea is nothing short of spectacular.

Budget Considerations for Your Yacht Charter

When planning your luxury sea voyage, it’s critical to account for the myriad of costs associated with yacht chartering beyond the initial rental price. Expenses can quickly add up, including fuel consumption, marina docking fees, crew gratuities, and onboard provisions that may not be covered in the base rate. Engaging in a candid discussion with your chosen charter company, particularly if it’s a Miami boat rental service, will provide clarity on what your financial commitment entails. 

Opting for an all-inclusive package could streamline expenses, although piecemeal options may better suit those with specific needs. Furthermore, the timing and location of your charter can dramatically influence costs. Off-peak seasons or less frequented destinations often yield substantial savings without compromising the luxury experience. It’s a balancing act of desires versus budget, but with thoughtful planning and open communication, securing one of the best yachts for charter that aligns with your financial boundaries is entirely achievable.

Evaluating the Reputation and Services of Charter Companies

In the quest to secure the best yachts for charter, assessing the credibility and offerings of charter companies is paramount. A company’s history of positive feedback and commitment to outstanding service is a good indicator of reliability. Investigating their portfolio of yachts can also provide insights into their capability to match your specific chartering needs. Transparency is key; reputable companies will be upfront about all costs, including any additional fees that may not be immediately obvious. They are usually ready to tailor their services to fit your preferences, ensuring a personalised and luxurious experience. Probing into the qualifications and expertise of the crew is advisable, as their proficiency directly impacts the quality of your charter. 

Engaging with a company that encourages pre-charter visits or discussions with the crew offers an added layer of assurance in their commitment to your safety and satisfaction. In the context of a Miami boat rental or any other high-demand locale, selecting a company that stands out for its excellence can significantly enhance your yachting adventure.

Inspecting Your Chosen Yacht Before Chartering

It’s imperative to conduct a detailed examination of your potential yacht before sealing the deal. This critical step involves a walk-through to evaluate its physical condition, confirming that both aesthetics and functionality align with your standards. Pay special attention to the safety gear to ensure compliance with maritime safety regulations. 

Assess the living spaces for comfort and verify that the amenities promised are present and in excellent working order. Inquiry into the vessel’s maintenance records is also vital, as it reveals the yacht’s upkeep history and readiness for sea. Checking the operability of the yacht’s navigation and communication equipment is a must to guarantee a smooth sailing experience. This proactive approach not only solidifies your choice among the best yachts for charter but also instil confidence in your upcoming maritime journey .

New to the Yacht Charter Fleet

  • By Yachting Staff
  • March 21, 2024

Azimut Yachts Grande 36

Several of the world’s leading charter-management companies have welcomed new yachts into their fleets, with inquiries for bookings now being accepted.

Althaus Yachts has added the 116-foot Azimut Grande 36 Ocean One to the charter fleet in the Mediterranean. This yacht is a brand-new, 2023 build that comes with quite the sexy tender: a 60-knot Brabus Shadow 900 Sun-Top Stealth Green Signature Edition. Ocean One can accommodate 12 guests, and has guest amenities including an infinity pool.

Donna Del Mare

Also new to the fleet, with Fraser, is the 132-foot Aegean yacht Donna Del Mare . This yacht is currently completing a refit, with charters expected to be available in the Adriatic Sea between early April and mid-September. Accommodations are for 12 guests along with four supernumeraries such as nannies and bodyguards. Guest amenities include two bars and a sundeck hot tub.

156-foot CMB Fortuna

Fraser is also now offering the 156-foot CMB Fortuna for charter in the Mediterranean. This 2023 build has an Espen Øino exterior, interiors by Art-Bel Design, and accommodations for 10 or 11 guests in five staterooms. Guest amenities include a hot tub, barbecue, DJ console, gymnasium and waterside beach club. A 43-foot Venom chase tender is part of the charter package.

Artemisea

Also new to the charter fleet is the 146-foot Intermarine Artemisea , which IYC is offering in Greece. Accommodations are for 10 guests in five staterooms, including a full-beam master. This yacht underwent what IYC calls a major refit this year. Guest amenities include a sundeck hot tub, and IYC says the yacht’s fuel consumption is low.

Alaya

IYC’s offerings in Greece also now include the 108-foot Lurssen Alaya , which is a classic build from 1965. Alaya was “meticulously refitted” in 2023, according to the charter company, creating the combination of a classic yacht with updated, modern comforts. The original owners modeled the yacht after World War II torpedo boats, giving the yacht a touch of history as well. Accommodations are for 10 or 11 guests in five staterooms, and the owner will consider inquiries for corporate or personal events.

154-foot Feadship Lady Victoria

But wait, there’s more: Also new to the charter fleet, with Edmiston, is the 154-foot Feadship Lady Victoria . This 2015 build, which is accepting inquiries for the Caribbean, was most recently refitted in 2022. Accommodations are for 12 guests in their choice of seven staterooms, with interior design by RWD. Exteriors on this yacht are by Dubois.

While a yacht may be the first thing that pops to mind when you think of the ultra-wealthy, chartering one might not be as expensive as you think. When you're splitting the costs between several family members or friends you are paying for transportation and stay and it can make sense financially.

You can also  keep money in your wallet  by selecting an older vessel or taking charge of sailing yourself (hiring a crew always costs extra).

So let’s take a look at options that may be within reach for people who aren’t living paycheck to paycheck but aren’t brunching with the Kardashians either.

Editor's note: prices are subject to change and may vary depending on the time of the year.
