Caribbean yacht charters are available aboard virtually every size and style of yacht. The region is the second-largest for luxury yacht charter in the world, after the combined Eastern Mediterranean and Western Mediterranean. Primary Caribbean yacht charter regions include the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, the Leeward Islands of the northern Caribbean, and the Windward Islands of the Southern Caribbean. 

 

Caribbean Yacht Charters: British Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands are home to countless sailing catamarans, which are stable, roomy yachts often favored for comfortable family cruising by first-time Caribbean yacht charter clients. Each of the islands in the Virgins is fairly close to the next, which also appeals to first-time charterers who want easy, short days of sailing. Itineraries may begin in either the U.S. or British sides of the archipelago, with flights available into and out of the international airports on St. Thomas and Tortola.

 

 

Caribbean Yacht Charters: Leeward and Windward Islands

The Leewards include islands such as Sint Maarten and St. Barth’s, whose marinas are the winter home of many of the largest luxury yachts available for charter. The New Year’s Eve motoryacht hop in St. Barth’s Gustavia Harbour is legendary, as is each April’s Sailing Week on Antigua, where there are many options for world-class regatta charters. Round-trip itineraries from a single island are possible, as are one-way charters that allow you to see more of the Leewards chain during your Caribbean yacht charter.

The Windwards begin at Dominica and continue south through Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. They are less developed than the Leewards, with fewer high-rise hotels and longer stretches of open water between islands. Some Windward locales, such as the Tobago Cays, are preserved just as nature created them with aquamarine waters, white sand beaches, colorful reefs, and enchanting sea turtles. Many Windwards charters begin at St. Lucia or St. Vincent and continue one way to Grenada, at a leisurely 10- to 14-day pace that allows for relaxation in multiple harbors.

 

Yacht Charters to South America

South America is not yet a highly developed yacht charter hub like the Caribbean, but options are often available in such places as Brazil, Chile, the Amazon River, and the Galapagos Islands. Expedition yachts are typically the choice in such destinations, with unique features onboard to ensure self-sustainability and guest comfort. Many expedition yachts boast enhanced communications systems, for instance, as well as crew who know how to provision fine foods, wines, and other luxuries for guest enjoyment in the most remote of anchorages.

Also in South America, the crew aboard luxury charter yachts often includes a nature guide in such destinations as the Amazon River and Galapagos Islands. The guide is a charter client’s personal expert from the region, offering tips on everything from encounters with giant tortoises to welcome ceremonies among indigenous tribes.
