catamaran all inclusive vacations

Crewed Catamaran charter vacations in the Caribbean

The most popular style of crewed, all-inclusive yacht to charter is a sailing catamaran. Sailing catamarans offer a broad, stable platform with private en-suite guest cabins which are spaced out by the hulls and plenty of space in between. Catamarans also have easy access to the water via the sugar scoops and a number of different outdoor areas including trampolines forward, shaded cockpit with dining table aft and some catamarans also have upper fly bridge decks. A sailing catamaran is the best choice for great value and comfort.

The Caribbean offers crewed charter catamarans for many budgets and party sizes – click the "sort by" links below to find a catamaran that fits your group's specifications or use the search form if you have specific travel dates in mind.

What people are saying

“Canvas Yacht Charters and Doug are a pleasure to work with. Doug’s follow-up skills are remarkable and attention to detail are bar none. I very rarely leave reviews, but I can, without a doubt, recommend Canvas and Doug to everyone I know. Thanks again D!”

“We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with three other couples, our dearest friends, on a week-long sailing charter. The trip was arranged by Doug Tibbs at Canvas Yacht Charters, and his assistance was invaluable every step of the way. He listened to our dreams for the trip, the things we were really hoping for and things we wanted to avoid, non-negotiates and crazy ideas, and he filtered them all to present us with several charter options, any one of which would have been wonderful, but we ended up on Ghost. Doug’s attention didn’t stop with the booking. He made sure we were kept aware of various important deadlines, including changes related to covid, connected us with the crew and conveyed to them all our preferences, and was available throughout to answer our big and small questions. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for every one of us onboard—the boat, the crew, the sailing, the food, the adventure. So many thanks to Doug for his care to make it everything we dreamed it could be—and we are already hoping to plan a repeat trip for next year!”

“It’s not often that I end up leaving a review for a service I didn’t end up booking, but the super customer service I received from Heather at Starrluxe definitely merits noting. From the first step in the process, she was helpful, professional, and extremely accommodating despite a difficult itinerary and an expedited time frame. She provided excellent options and went out of her way to address our every requirement. I deeply regret that our travel plans changed and we weren’t able to finalize our charter, but I greatly look forward to working with Starrluxe again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Enjoyed working with Doug. He was attentive to our needs/desires. Got us a great boat with a great crew. He even got us a price reduction. I will look forward to working with him again.”

“Doug and his team helped us book a trip in two days for the following week. Great communications and expectation setting, which helped make the trip successful. We will recommend them to family and friends for their trips. -Cheers, John”

All-Inclusive Yacht Charters

Navigating the booking process can be a daunting task with many different types of yacht charters. that's why we've created this brief guide to all-inclusive charters, what's included and what boats offer it..

Not having to pay for expenses? That’s sounds a little too good to be true. You might be wondering: Are there really yacht charters with everything included?

The short answer is yes! All-inclusive yacht charters are available, but the majority operate in just a few charter destinations in the world. In fact, the majority take place in the Virgin Islands (both the U.S. and British islands). Outside of the Virgin Islands, though, you’ll find more traditional rate structures for charters, e.g. charter fees plus expenses.

In short, if you like the idea of an all-inclusive sailing vacation, consider a charter in the British Virgin Islands. A favorite Caribbean destination, the British Virgin Islands offer incredible beaches, exciting excursions and plenty of towns/resorts to explore. (Plus, you won’t have to worry about any of the expenses while you cruise and relax.)

This overview – a part of our planning resource, the Charter Advice Guide – offers an in-depth look at all-inclusive charters.

What’s Included with an All Inclusive Charter?

All-inclusive means the majority of expenses – food, drink, fuel costs, taxes, etc. – are included in your charter fee. You aren’t required to keep an expense account open. Rather, you pay a one-time fee prior to setting sail, and that’s it.

But what amenities are included in an all-inclusive yachting trip? Here’s a quick look:

• Meals – Three chef-prepared meals per day, set to your preference.
• Drinks – All beverages, including bar drinks and cocktails, set to your preference. This includes the beverages in the ship’s open bar, which typically includes a mix of spirits, wine and beer.
• Snacks – Hors d’oeuvres, desserts and snacks are included.
• On-Board Amenities – Use of the onboard amenities and water toys, as noted on the yacht’s e-brochure.
• Fees/Taxes – Customs fees and cruising taxes are both included, unless otherwise indicated.

What’s Not Included in an All Inclusive Yacht Charter?

All-inclusive includes many of your expenses throughout your charter, and that’s one reason why many people like to book this type of vacation. It’s easier to plan and budget for. Yet, there are some special fees and amenities that aren’t included.

For example, dockage fees aren’t included, which is a fee paid to overnight at a marina. And special beverage requests aren’t included, as well. Here’s a look at some amenities that aren’t included:

• Fishing Licenses – If you plan to do some sport fishing, you’ll have to pay for the license in some cruising areas (not required for children).
• Dockage Fees – If you would like to spend a night in a marina, you pay the cost of the slip and dockside electricity and water. Nights spent at anchor do not include any additional fees.
• Special Food/Drink – Exclusive spirits, wines and food items may incur additional fees.
• Scuba Fees – If you plan on scuba diving, you may incur additional fees for gear and permits.
• Communications – Use of the yacht’s on-board communications equipment is an added expense. This can include things like computer usage and satellite phones.
• Transfers – Transfers from the airport to the yacht, or your return to the airport are not included.
• Crew Gratuity – Gratuity is not included. Traditionally, guests tip the crew at the end of the charter; 15% is customary, but the amount is at your discretion.

Does All Inclusive Include Alcohol? The majority of all-inclusive charters include everything you eat and drink on-board, including alcohol from the ship’s open bar. Yet, there are some charter operators that do not include alcohol in the all-inclusive, or they include just a small amount of alcohol. As you book an all-inclusive yacht charter, be sure to inquire about alcohol fees (if there are any).

All of the items that are included will be clearly marked on your charter contract , so you won’t have any surprise exclusions. Traditionally, though, it’s rare for a yacht to charge an additional fee for alcohol.

What Types of Yachts Are Available for All Inclusive

Not all yachts are available for all-inclusive charters. In fact, yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands that offer all-inclusive rates tend to be sailing vessels – both sailboats and catamarans – and they’re typically smaller in size.

• Sailing Yachts/Catamarans – The reason why sailing yachts and catamarans are more likely to offer all-inclusive charters is that they have much more predictable costs (e.g. little-to-no fuel costs). Plus, the British Virgin Islands is a small cruising ground, with a mix of beautiful islands located close-by. As a result, captains can better determine costs beforehand, which makes all-inclusive pricing possible.
• Motor Yachts/Superyachts – Motor yachts and superyachts, on the other hand, rarely offer all-inclusive rates . The reason? Fuel costs for motor yachts and superyachts tends to be highly variable; a last-minute itinerary change or increasing fuel prices can result in costs being much higher or lower.

Off-Season Specials . Some destinations, especially the British Virgin Islands, offer all-inclusive specials during the off-season (spring, summer and fall). You’ll find many more all-inclusive promotions during off-peak charter seasons, compared to the winter high-season. Our team of charter brokers has the scoop on all the latest trends; just let us know and we can help you find what you’re looking for.

All-Inclusive Sailing Vacations: British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are a legendary sailing grounds. Here, you’ll find more than 25 islands and atolls to explore – including Tortola and Jost Van Dyke – as well as untouched beaches, reef diving/snorkeling spots, seaside cabanas, and a decidedly laid-back vibe.

Sailing the waters also make for a fun vacation. Throughout the year, the BVI receive steady tradewinds, incredible weather, and the water is warm and inviting no matter the time of year. A few key reasons to consider a sailboat charter in the BVI:

• Year-Round Charters – A sailboat charter in BVI is possible year-round. Like most of the Caribbean, winter is high season, when guests are treated to incredible weather and calm seas. Yet, early spring and fall are perfect times for off-season charters. In summer, the weather can be unpredictable, but many choose to charter in the summer.
• Plenty to Do/Explore – No matter your interests, you’ll find tons of one-of-a-kind adventures in the BVI. Tour centuries-old rum distilleries; surf, kayak, or kitesurf; hike the region’s numerous jungle trails; take an ATV tour; or relax at one of the island’s legendary beach parties.

All-Inclusive Catamaran Vacations: British Virgin Islands

Catamaran charters are popular in the BVI, and there are many reasons you might consider an all-inclusive catamaran charter compared to a sailboat charter . A few of the top reasons include:

• Stability – Catamarans have two hulls, which increases stability at sea. Many people prefer catamarans for this reason.
• Shallower Waters – Catamarans can access shallower coves and waters, which opens up more possibilities in BVI. There are more than 60 atolls, cays and islands you can access in the BVI on a catamaran.
• Faster Cruising – Catamarans move faster and allow charter guests to see more on their charters.
• Spaciousness – The two-hull design provides a bit more space above and below deck, which increases privacy and allows more people to travel together.

Bareboat Charters vs. All-Inclusive

Some yacht charter guests like to hire their own boats, without a crew to sail the British Virgin Islands. These so-called bareboat charters offer some flexibility. Yet, the costs can quickly add up.

With a bareboat charter, you’re responsible for all food and beverages for your trip. Plus, any customs fees, cleaning fee, dockage, taxes, etc. are the responsibility of the charterer. Therefore, charter costs add up quickly, and bareboat charters tend to be similarly priced to all-inclusive charters, after all expenses have been calculated. Here’s a quick look at these types of charters:

• Bareboat – Nothing is included in your charter fee. You pay to rent a boat without a crew, and you’re responsible for food/drink, fuel, dockage and custom fees, and taxes.
• All-Inclusive – The majority of fees are included. Plus, you charter a fully crewed yacht. Depending on the yacht’s size, your crew will include a captain and at least one additional crew member to provide onboard services.

Of course, an all-inclusive crewed charter also offers peace of mind and pure relaxation. You sit back and enjoy your vacation, while the crew handles the details. If you’re interested in learning to sailing during your vacation, talk with your yacht charter broker. Many yachts are happy to provide guests with some hands-on sailing experience during a sailboat yacht charter.

The best all-inclusive hotels in the Maldives

The first time you spot them, those iridescent pearly islands rising out of the Indian Ocean, you get the hype. The Maldives is pure, unmitigated fantasy, a destination that’s become synonymous with high-end resorts, with overwater villas that cascade down to a sea so clear you can see rainbow fish nudging about by your feet, razor-sharp butler service and high-end dining. It’s no surprise that  honeymooners  and families looking for a luxurious fly-and-flop beach break flock here. Of course, since you’re usually cocooned on a private island resort, the savviest travellers know that choosing somewhere that offers chic accommodation with a wealth of sumptuous food and drink included is a wise decision because, let’s face it, keeping a mental note of how many pina coladas you’ve had is hardly relaxing. This is our pick of the best all-inclusive hotels in the Maldives. If you're looking for more recommendations, then check out our definitive list of the best hotels in the Maldives .

Sun Siyam Iru Fushi

A sight to behold, surrounded by miles of sand peaks that slope gently into living gardens of corals and fringed by jungle vegetation, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is one of the best all-inclusive hotels in the Maldives. It's a 45-minute seaplane journey from the mainland and there are 221 villas here, not that you’d notice. In fact, even when it’s full, this place feels deliciously serene. The beach villas feel like mini palaces, yours and yours alone, with swaying palms and nattering terns for neighbours, all with their own pools and linen-draped cabanas to fall asleep to the lull of the sea. Most guests are on the deluxe all-inclusive package, which includes eating and drinking at almost all of the 14 restaurants and bars so you’ll never get bored, plus a complimentary mini-bar in your room, a 30-minute facial as well as heaps of watery activities like stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, daily guided snorkelling and a sunset cruise.

Price: From around $680 per night, based on two adults and two children under 15 sharing, on an all-inclusive basis

Ozen Reserve Bolifushi

Everything you want from a tropical hideaway can be found at Ozen Reserve Bolifushi. For starters, the setting is ravishing – all butter-soft beaches peppered with towering bayan and palms and just a 30-minute luxury catamaran ride away from the mainland. Then there’s the gin-clear waters teeming with a trillion fat multi-coloured fish, manta rays and turtles thanks to the fact this is one of the few resorts wrapped in coral reef. Bag one of the ocean pool suites with slides that plunge you from your deck right into the sea. With one of the most generous all-inclusive packages in the Maldives that offers dining at all five restaurants, anyone on the Reserve Plan also has access to special themed nights, a minibar that’s refilled twice a day and one complimentary one-hour spa treatment for every four days of their stay.

Price: From around $1,800 per night based on two sharing, on the Reserve Plan

Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa

A Robinson Crusoe-style getaway awaits at Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa where Nemo-filled turquoise lagoons and powder-puff sands will make your heart leap. With just 80 villas, this is one of the more intimate resorts, but you’ll never tire of things to do. All rooms overlook that twinkling, breath-stealing Indian Ocean, where water and sky merge seamlessly. Everyone is on the all-inclusive package here which makes it feel utterly effortless with top-notch food on offer at all five restaurants – from locally-caught miso reef fish at Teppanyaki Grill to homemade tortellini at the spellbindingly romantic overwater restaurant Mediterraneo, all washed down with as much house Champagne as you wish. The ultra all-inclusive package includes complimentary guided snorkel trips twice a week, unlimited use of kayaks, paddle-boards, Hobie-cats and windsurfing. Do book in for a Balinese massage in the spa nestled among the trees or simply sit back on your villa’s deck and watch pods of dolphins soaring in the distance.

Price: From around $620 per night, on an all-inclusive package

Now, this is something special. The Maldives’ first solar-powered hotel is a coconut-forested beauty with just 15 villas arranged around a circular wooden walkway out to sea. Rooms have a distinctly Japanese style – designed by New York-based architect Yuji Yamazaki – with soothing wood, stone and reed-thatch, and fronted by a wide deck, plunge pool and ladder into the swirling blue sea. The all-inclusive package here is a game-changer – unlimited spa treatments, jet-skiing, deep-sea fishing, personal training, or feasts involving fine wines, not to mention food to make your belly sing -from light Japanese teppanyaki to Maldivian seafood curry, concocted by French chef Antoine Lievaux, who has worked for Joël Robuchon and Alain Ducasse. A cheese cellar and fine wines are included, too, which will impress even the hard-to-please. And, thanks to the 989 solar panels, there’s not so much of a hint of generator buzz, just the gentle sound of waves kissing the icing-sugary sandy shores.

Price: From around $3,000 per night, based on two people sharing, on an all-inclusive basis

Soneva Jani

This is the pinnacle of desert island living on a turquoise lagoon in Noonu Atoll, blanketed in racing-green jungle and ringed with neon-white beach. Life here is easy-breezy; you and your brood pedal-push around the sandy lanes on bikes, hang in hammocks on talc-soft beaches, skid down slides, splash about on technicolour reefs and watch dolphins race through iridescent baby-blue waters. The overwater villas have glass-bottom floors and pool decks with corkscrew slides. Come nightfall, make a wish as your sprawling roof retracts to the sight of a billion stars. The Soneva Unlimited package is an all-round winner with all restaurants and bars covered – from a meat-free outpost by Bocuse d’Or-winning Swedish chef Mathias Dahlgren to the garden-set idyll So Local – not to mention non-stop experiences including scuba diving and turtle quests plus daily laundry, room service and unlimited treatments in the treehouse-like Island Spa that has egg-shaped rooms linked by walkways floating towards a yoga shala.

Price: From around $6,000 per night based on two people sharing, on the Soneva Unlimited package

Lux* South Ari Atoll

It doesn’t get more laidback fun than Lux* South Ari Atoll. All is driftwood prettiness, smart villas with vaulted white ceilings, grey wood-effect ceramic floors and tree-trunk furniture. There’s a mellow beach club vibe to the place, with bicycles to nip between the two bars at opposite ends of the three-kilometre-long island: one more chilled beside the pool, and the other, livelier, where you can dance barefoot to reggae on pods scattered across the sea or atop one of the giant inflatable golden swans. Those on the Maldives all-inclusive package enjoy meals at six of the restaurants as well as free ice-cream in the homemade parlour, not to mention Tattinger on tap. There’s stand-up paddle boarding yoga, an alfresco cinema, swimming with whale sharks (the friendly kind) and a red telephone box for free calls should you fancy making everyone back home green with envy.

Price: From around $1,050 per night based on two people sharing, on an all-inclusive basis

Milaidhoo Maldives

Understated, refined, and properly spoiling, it’s hard not to fall for Milaidhoo. This classic Maldivian island has a refreshingly contemporary twist – the 50 villas enlivened with deft decorative flourishes – from the vivid blue-on-blue accents to the curvaceous lines of the Beach Pool villas. Guides know the best snorkelling spots – where you’re most likely to find manta rays. Given the hotel’s location in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with the world's highest concentration of manta rays, it won’t take long to spot one. Spend your days kayaking or lying horizontal on a hammock, occasionally waving a lazy arm for a glass of something chilled, happy in the knowledge that the all-inclusive package here covers almost all drinks and food, including a dinner at the Chef’s Table with live-cooking, three-course lunches and suppers in the ocean-facing restaurant. The signature restaurant, Ba'theli, serving Maldivian and trade-route-inspired dishes in three cleverly interlinked dhonis, is a show-stopper. Leaving is the only low.

Price: From around $9,390 per person, on an all-inclusive basis

Amilla Maldives

Worth shouting about, Amilla is a game-changing all-inclusive hotel in the Maldives. The first and only resort in the Maldives to achieve Inclucare certification, this hotel opens its arms to travellers with mobility, sensory and cognitive needs offering everything from accessible seaplane chairs, deaf alert systems, beach wheelchairs, adaptive yoga and snorkelling to quiet, switched-off places for those who may need space away from the hubbub. As well as being inclusive for all with intensive staff training to cater for individual guest needs, this resort is a beauty, tucked into a forest where coconut palms tower above the screw pines and hibiscus, and flying foxes chitter and fuss in the canopy. There are bicycles to roam around on, an incredible lineup of F&B options – that’s eight restaurants – that will have anyone on the Dine Around programme rolling home a few stone heavier. The hardest decision of the day will be choosing which one.

Price: From around $1,500 per night based on two people sharing, on an all-inclusive basis
