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:

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:

The Leewards are situated in the middle of the Caribbean Island chain. The major airports are located on St. Maarten and Antigua.

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.

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?

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

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

The Grenadines

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

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

The Leeward Islands

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

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

The Virgin Islands

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

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

Where Can I Charter a Yacht?

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

How Do I Book a Private Yacht?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can I Rent a Yacht for a Day?

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

Highlights include eco-tours of the island’s rainforest, swimming under tropical waterfalls, and the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary on the island of Bequia. 

The island of Mustique is a privately owned island and is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, offering a unique coastline that is lapped by both the Atlantic and Caribbean Seas. Mustique’s beauty and exclusive offerings make it a popular destination with VIPs and celebrities who are seeking barefoot elegance. Explore its untouched landscapes, enjoy crystal-clear waters, relax at the island’s beach bars, and unplug from the stresses of day-to-day life.

There is a beach for every day of the year on the island of Antigua, part of the Leeward Islands. Fringed by a coral reef, the waters of Antigua are wonderfully calm, making them great for swimming and making the most of your Caribbean yacht charter’s many water toys.  Beyond the beaches, you’ll find lush tropical rainforests, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and superb eateries, from rustic beach bars to fine dining. Antigua’s warm, steady winds also make it a great destination for sailing enthusiasts. 

Part of the three-island state of Barbuda, Antigua, and uninhabited Redonda, these islands are often enjoyed on a Caribbean yacht charter experience along with nearby St. Barths. The island of Barbuda is relatively untouched by tourism development, making it a great place to enjoy traditional Caribbean life and truly unwind.  The island is best known for its stunning pink-sand beaches along its Caribbean coastline and wonderful flora and fauna, including its Frigate Bird Sanctuary.

St. Kitts, or St. Christopher, is nestled in the West Indies and is known for its mix of volcanic black and golden sandy Caribbean beaches. The island offers a relaxed and carefree atmosphere where one can savor life’s simple pleasures. Enjoy soaking up the sun on the island’s pretty beaches, or enjoy a handcrafted cocktail and fresh catch of the day at one of the many local restaurants and beach-side bars. Make sure you leave time to ride the Sugar Train, a scenic railway route that was originally used to transport sugar.

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.

Comprised of twenty-six countries and over seven hundred islands, cays, and islets, the Caribbean region contains the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles.

A tropical heaven for luxury yacht charter guests, the Caribbean delivers a heady mix of calm aquamarine seas, white sand islands dotted with palm trees, a unique culture blending Creole, French, Dutch, and English influences, the glitz and glamor of Turks and Caicos and St Barts, and exclusive island resorts accessible by boat only.

Why Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean

A Caribbean yacht charter is the best way to explore this stunning corner of the world.

Whether it’s the wild adventures and rum cocktails in the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands, the carnival craze, drums, and dancing in Trinidad and Tobago, the tranquil natural beauty of St Vincent and the Grenadines, or the spectacular diving and snorkeling in the world’s second-biggest barrier reef of Belize, the Caribbean is ideal for a luxury yacht charter vacation.

Caribbean Climate and Nature

The Caribbean Sea is one of the warmest seas in the world, famous for its incredible underwater scenery, spectacular white powder beaches, tropical fish, and beautiful islands.

Calm waters and sunny weather from December to May make the Caribbean a perfect winter escape beloved by private yacht owners and charter yacht guests alike.

Countless paradise islands, hidden coves, and secluded bays offer fantastic anchorages, coral reefs provide excellent scuba diving opportunities, and the tropical inland jungles teeming with wildlife offer a touch of adventure once you step ashore.

Cultural Experiences

Finally, the unique Caribbean culture and cuisine from Cuba to Barbados, the high-end resorts, the private islands belonging to the likes of David Copperfield and Richard Branson, and the chic beach bars and fine dining in St Martin offer the quintessential Caribbean yacht charter experience for those seeing adventure, luxurious living, and joie de vivre unparalleled anywhere else in the world.

Caribbean Yacht Charter Destinations

The Caribbean spans a large area dotted with hundreds of large and smaller islands, each unique in its own way.

Although the sailing season in the Caribbean Sea is long, it’s impossible to see the entire region in one sailing trip. Most Caribbean yacht charters are aimed at one or two-week-long vacations. Unless you have more time to explore and relax, it’s best to pick just one or two destinations to truly experience the Caribbean way of life without rushing from one island to another and trying to cram it all into a seven-day itinerary.

Natural Diversity

The choices are as diverse as the Caribbean itself: adventure seekers and history buffs will enjoy the unspoiled sailing grounds of the Grenadines, honeymooning couples will love the romantic atmosphere of Turks and Caicos, and partygoers will find the British Virgin Islands, St Martin, and St Barts irresistible.

Cuba is ideal for rum-fueled nights in Havana following the steps of Hemingway; Antigua and Barbuda is famous for its sublime resorts, the world’s best beaches, and crystal-clear waters, while Belize boasts some of the most beautiful coral reefs on the planet.

Depending on your personal preferences, here are some of the best destinations for Caribbean charter vacations:

The largest island in the Caribbean Sea, Cuba sits at the crossroads of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Famous for its vibrant cultural heritage, the best rum and cigars in the world, and dreamy cays, Cuba is a unique yacht charter destination offering a combination of pristine beaches and sleepy mangrove forests, the old-world glitz and glamor of Old Havana, and the sleepy mangrove forests and coral atolls as well as island-hopping and abundant wildlife.

Experiencing Cuban salsa beats, retro American cars, and Hemingway’s old haunts are a must for those partial to the 1920s nostalgia and cultural experiences, while the island’s rich marine life and warm waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands (BVI) is one of the most popular Caribbean yacht charter destinations famous for its vibrant nightlife scene, island hopping, lush greenery, and stunning sandy beaches.

Part of a volcanic island’s archipelago, the BVI boasts sapphire blue waters, verdant tropical greenery, and luxury resorts.

The island of Anegada is famous for its coral reefs, underwater caves, and old shipwrecks, making it ideal diving and snorkeling ground.

Virgin Gorda – named by Christopher Columbus himself because of its curious shape – is considered the most beautiful of the British Virgin Islands, and it’s equally famous for upscale yacht clubs, luxury lodging, boutique shops, and delicious cuisine.

Finally, the island of Tortola offers plenty of great anchorages, stunning views, world-class diving, and a selection of luxury SPAs to unwind and relax.

US Virgin Islands

Part of the Leeward Island chain, the US Virgin Islands boast idyllic cays, powdery white sand beaches, and a laidback atmosphere.

Each island has its own unique charm ranging from vibrant towns to pristine national parks, and the numerous bays and picturesque anchorages offer sheltered spots to drop anchor and enjoy the magic of the Caribbean.

The island of St Thomas is often dubbed the shopping capital of the Caribbean, equally famous for its golf courses and roaring nightlife.

St Croix is favored by history aficionados: the island has experienced Spanish, Dutch, English, French, and Danish rule boasting a vibrant cultural scene with a blend of influences from Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean.

Home to the Captain Morgan Rum Distillery, St Croix is also known for its fine dining, golf courses, casinos, and lively arts and crafts scene.

Finally, St John has some of the best-protected beaches in the world, abundant marine wildlife of turtles and rays, and excellent snorkeling sites.

Antigua and Barbuda

Sometimes called the sailing Mecca of the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda is known as the Land of 365 Beaches - one for each calendar day - as it has a wide variety of beautiful white sand strips, secluded coves, and hidden bays, including the famous Pink Sand Beach of Barbuda where tiny coral particles mixed with white sand create a striking rosy tint.

Antigua and Barbuda has a rich sailing heritage and hosts world-class regattas and events such as Antigua Sailing Week, one of the premier international sailing events. The islands boast tranquil harbors and sheltered anchorages, pristine shorelines, coral reefs, and the famous Stingray City, where charter yacht guests can swim and snorkel alongside southern stingrays.

Known for its lush green interior, vibrant local culture, serene beauty, and close proximity to the neighboring islands of Guadeloupe, St Kitts and Nevis, and Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda is a must-see on a Caribbean yacht charter vacation.

The original Pirates of the Caribbean location – the famous movies were filmed on its Hampstead Beach – and a treasure trove of natural wonders, Dominica is a volcanic island teeming with lush rainforests, tumbling waterfalls, and rich wildlife inland and below the water.

An extraordinary playground for adventure seekers and nature lovers, Dominica is famous for mountain climbing, hiking, diving, and snorkeling opportunities.

The famous Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Champagne Reef, and the striking Boiling Lake are a must-see, while Dominica’s picturesque anchorages and pristine beaches are perfect for a luxury yacht charter vacation on the water.

Eco-tourism, delicious Creole cuisine, and whale watching in Dominica create unique experiences for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and Caribbean culture.

A captivating Caribbean yachting vacation spot, Martinique effortlessly blends French sophistication with Caribbean heritage.

Known as the “Island of Flowers”, Martinique is one of the most popular winter destinations for luxury yachts because of its paradise beaches, turquoise waters, and rainforest-draped inland mountains.

Crewed luxury yachts can cost from $30,000 up to $1,000,000 per week and more.

Yachts for Charter: Motor Yacht vs Sailing Yacht

Arguably, the Caribbean is the quintessential sailing destination: from the pirate stories and the romance of harnessing the sails to the unparalleled experience of wind-powered travel, hiring a sailing yacht will provide an authentic Caribbean vacation.

A sailing yacht is all about tradition and elegance, romantic allure, and an intimate connection with nature. Sailing yachts can also provide access to the shallows and more remote anchorages where larger motor yachts may struggle.

On the other hand, hiring a motor yacht means luxury, convenience, and speed. Crewed luxury yachts offer more space, comfort, and onboard entertainment; in addition, a motor yacht often offers additional amenities like water toys, Jacuzzis, SPA treatment rooms, and personal chef experiences.

Choosing between a motor yacht and a sailing yacht ultimately comes down to personal preferences and the type of adventure you’re looking for.

Charter Yacht Features

Charter yachts include a variety of features and amenities for comfort, convenience, and unique experiences for the guests.

While particular amenities vary based on the size, style, and level of luxury of the boat, the following are some common charter yacht characteristics:

Spacious Cabins

Yachts usually have spacious, well-appointed cabins with en-suite bathrooms and plenty of storage space. Master bedrooms, VIP cabins, and various guest cabins are common features on luxury yachts.

Onboard Entertainment

Entertainment systems such as flat-screen TVs, audio systems, and movie theaters are available on some luxury yachts.

Water Toys and Sports Equipment

Many charter yachts provide a variety of water toys like jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling equipment, wakeboards, and fishing gear. Water toys are essential for charter yacht guests who love active water experiences.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Most motor yachts include large decks with lounge places, sunbeds, and eating facilities. For extra luxury and relaxation, some may feature Jacuzzis or swimming pools.

Gourmet Dining

Professional chefs on crewed luxury yachts create wonderful meals customized to guests' interests. Guests may enjoy superb meals with spectacular views in formal dining spaces and outdoor dining locations.

Wellness Facilities

Luxury boats may have aboard gyms, spa facilities, and massage rooms for fitness and relaxation.

The availability of amenities will vary based on the charter yacht’s size, type, and individual characteristics.

St. Maarten offers two distinct cultures and experiences. The North end is less developed and more secluded while the Dutch side offers plenty of water activities and shopping. The island of Anguilla is a hidden gem with luxurious spas and a Greg Norman-designed golf course, and is also the wreck dive capital of the Caribbean. St. Barths has become a mecca for new superyachts and it’s easy to see why, with abundant restaurants, spas, and boutiques to go along with marine parks and pristine beaches. St. Kitts and Nevis are surrounded by coral reefs and are home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. Finally, Antigua and Barbuda offers visitors a chance to experience history, tourism, and the great Caribbean laid-back vibe without the hustle and bustle of other tourist-filled islands.

As the Northern most Windward Island, Dominica is home to over 365 rivers and the world’s second largest hot spring, Boiling Lake, a must-explore spot by luxury yacht charter. Caribbean cruising here will take you down to Martinique, where you will find black sand beaches and diverse rainforests. Due to its sovereignty switching between the British and the French 14 times, St. Lucia’s history has created a culture rarely found elsewhere in the Caribbean. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are a perfect combination of modern amenities and calm Caribbean life.

🇲🇽 Traveling to Mexico soon?

These are the Mexico travel resources I use and recommend:

🏨 Hotels : I always find the best deals for Mexico hotels and resorts on Expedia or Booking.com . If you prefer a vacation rental, check VRBO as they are often cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!

✈️ Flights : I recommend using Skyscanner for the best Mexico flight deals. Be sure to sign up for their price alerts for your preferred travel dates.

🚗 Rental Cars : I recommend using Discover Cars because you can compare multiple car rental companies and see detailed ratings for overall value, ease of pick-up, efficiency of agents, car condition, and overall time spent.

🚙 Cancun Airport Transportation : I recommend booking a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation for the quickest and most hassle-free option!

🤿 Tours & Activities: I always use Viator or GetYourGuide for booking tours and activities in Mexico. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, plus they have excellent customer service if you were to have any issues.

🚨 Travel Insurance: After my Dad broke his hand in a taxi accident in Playa del Carmen, I always recommend buying travel insurance before your trip for added peace of mind! I recommend Travel Insurance Master for short trips or Safety Wing for digital nomads.

☀️ Biodegradable Sunscreen : Don’t forget to add biodegradable sunscreen to your Mexico packing list ! Regular sunscreen is prohibited on most snorkeling tours, so you’ll need to pack some biodegradable sunscreen for sun protection. I recommend Sun Bum Sunscreen , which is reef-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free.
