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 or Bahamas yacht charter?

Whether you opt for a Caribbean or Bahamas yacht charter is a personal preference. Both destinations offer crystal clear waters, pristine beaches, exclusive beach clubs, award-winning restaurants, world-class golf courses, chic resorts, and a wonderfully warm climate year-round. 

For US charterers, a key allure of The Bahamas is its close proximity to the US, just 50 miles from the coastline of Florida. With quick and easy access to The Bahamas via commercial or private jet to multiple destinations in the US, you can be aboard your luxury Bahamas yacht charter quickly, eliminating wasted time traveling.

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 Destinations

Idyllic Island-Hopping in The Bahamas

Situated just a short cruise from Florida, the Bahamas is an incredibly sought-after destination for charter yachts. The picturesque scenery and infamous beaches make for a laid-back and luxurious charter experience. The area includes three distinctive chains of islands, with each one offering a unique window into island lifestyles, exotic marine life, and world-class diving opportunities.

To the northernmost regions of the Bahamas lie the Abaco Islands – resplendent with distinct histories and breathtaking visuals by way of hidden coves awaiting your exploration.

The central Bahamas, most notably the Berry Islands and New Providence, are saturated with high-life entertainment for you to delight in during your charter in the Caribbean. Take your chances at casinos, dance the night away at nightclubs, and experience a world of flavours with the finest local cuisines.

Further south, in the lower Bahamas, you’ll find the Exumas – the charming tropical retreat that offers a secluded sanctuary during your charter across the Caribbean.

Glitz and Glamour Lie in Wait on St Barths

Allow yourself to be drawn in towards the radiant sea and sun of St Barths. A veritable paradise found on a tiny French island with the perfect combination of adventure and high-class mingling for your Caribbean superyacht charter.

Discover the staggering beauty of Gouverneur and Grand Saline’s tranquil beaches surrounded by aquamarine waters, watch the sun hang low in the sky for a sunset sparkling like molten gold, and venture into the depths with the stellar scuba diving opportunities on offer.

Don’t let the island’s comfortable size fool you: St Barths is one of the Caribbean’s most social islands. If you’re looking for a New Years’ Eve of legend, the spectacular firework celebrations found here allow you to see out your year with a bang of epic proportions.

Unearth the Bewitching Windward Islands

The Windward Islands have long been one of the Caribbean’s best-kept yachting secrets. A place of legend and almost otherworldly beauty, sandy beaches and exotic plantations that have long since spun fables of pirates on adventures in search of treasure await your exploration.

Discover a new world of spice at the markets in Grenada, rub shoulders with other discerning travellers on Mustique, or simply extend your voyage into a more secluded and quiet anchorage by the private islands scattered across this locale.

These charter destinations promise unique adventures that are guaranteed to inspire. Discover unique wildlife in tropical rainforests, submerge yourself in the Earth’s natural history in volcanic craters, or island-hop to where X marks the spot in search of hidden treasures.

Embark on Your Greater Antilles Sojourn

A location of increasing popularity, this group of islands offer some of the most desirable yacht anchorages on Earth.

Diverse destinations are waiting for you in Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, the British Virgin Islands, St Lucia, and the Dominican Republic. Perhaps you’re the adventurous type looking to uncover stories of pirates and colonial history, or maybe you’re in search of luxury entertainment and stunning aquatic nature? Whatever you’re searching for, a luxury superyacht charter in the Greater Antilles won’t fail to impress.

Embark on your luxury superyacht charter to Antigua

The glorious Caribbean climate means an Antiguan charter is a year-round option. Because of its magnificent sunshine, Antigua’s greatest appeal is as a winter getaway, with the peak season resting between December and April. Escape bleak grey clouds and replace them with the endless celeste of Antigua skies.

Typical charters in Antigua and Barbuda, the so-called Twin Islands, last around 10 days, giving ample time to soak up the stunning sights and relish the tropical escape. We specialise in offering our clients the greatest freedom, meaning you can extend your trip as far as you like.

Discover Caribbean bliss in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands harbour all the spice and fizz of Caribbean life. Lively bars and snack shacks in the dynamic towns juxtapose pristine, reef-lined beaches and verdant countryside.

A superyacht charter in the BVIs with Yomira lets you experience this dazzling destination in divine luxury. We work with you to tailor a unique superyacht charter that is utterly bespoke. With no strict itineraries to hold you down, you’ll be able to glide across crystalline seas in blissful freedom.

Your Private Superyacht Charter in Grenada is Waiting

At the southernmost tip of the chain of Grenadines is an enchanted isle of almost unbelievable natural beauty.

One of the crowning jewels of a charter in St. Vincent and the Grenadines , Grenada is a Caribbean wonder. From a teeming underwater world to a lively above-water world, a private superyacht charter in Grenada will let you sink into sun-drenched bliss like nowhere else.

Glide into St. Georges Bay and you’ll float on impossibly turquoise water in front of immaculate sands that lead onto a smattering of colourful buildings. In the distance, you’ll see rolling mountains carpeted in lush, emerald green. Scents from the abundance of spices that grow in every corner, and which give the island its moniker “The Spice Isle,” fill your nose and the sun warms your back. Grenada is barefoot luxury at its finest.

Yomira specialises in creating bespoke superyacht charters for discerning travellers who want to experience the very best of the world’s locations. Allow us to take you to this pocket of Caribbean heaven on a prestige vessel. No strict itineraries, just complete, divine freedom.

Witness the Zenith of Natural Beauty on a Luxury Superyacht Charter to Costa Rica

An orchestra of tropical birds soars from the steaming rainforests sprawling across the land, where spider monkeys leap from branch to branch. Along the coast, sands of dazzling white are lapped by balmy waters of translucent turquoise containing iridescent stretches of coral reefs. Humpback whales roam the depths and dolphins dance the waves.

This is Costa Rica.

The exploration and adventure that a Costa Rican superyacht charter brings are one of its biggest draws, as is the astounding array of wildlife to be found at every turn. Its National Parks and Wildlife Refuges make it an inimitable destination for nature lovers, and anyone who wants to see incomparable natural wonders.

No stress, no strict itineraries. Just one of the most awe-inspiring coastlines on earth.

Sink Into a Luxury Superyacht Charter in St. Martin

St. Martin rests in the northeast of the brilliant blue Caribbean sea, just south of Anguilla. At only 34 square miles, the island is small in size but not small in personality. It’s a melting pot of cultures, divided into a separate Dutch side and a French side, each with its own distinctive feel.

Mountain peaks dot both sides of the island, forming a tumbling valley on which many of the buildings are scattered. The emerald heart of St. Martin is its verdant carpeting of forestlands which contrasts with the idyllic coastline of golden beaches. With colourful inland towns bursting with life, St. Martin encapsulates a varied and vibrant Caribbean superyacht charter perfectly.

And a luxury superyacht charter in St. Martin, also called St. Maarten or Saint Martin, will let you experience island living to the fullest. Let our expert team organise a Caribbean charter of dreams, where all you have to do is turn up.

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.

The Best Time to Visit the Caribbean

The best time to take a yacht charter in the Caribbean is a personal preference. The Caribbean generally has warm weather year-round, but there are a few factors to consider:

• Shoulder Season: The shoulder seasons are late spring (May and June) and early fall (September and October). The weather is still pleasant, and there are fewer tourists compared to the high season.
• Low Season: The low season in the Caribbean is from July to October, coinciding with hurricane season.
