Caribbean Yacht Charters: At a Glance

Are the bahamas and the caribbean the same thing, popular destinations for yacht rentals in the caribbean, popular sub-regions in the caribbean, highlights of a caribbean yacht charter, who goes on a caribbean yacht charter, history and culture, types of yacht charters in the caribbean, how much does it cost to charter a yacht in the caribbean, when is the best time for caribbean yacht charters, where should i begin my caribbean yacht charter, popular marinas and moorings in the caribbean, how to book your yacht charter in the caribbean.

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.

• 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.
• Excellent superyacht marinas The Caribbean has numerous well-provisioned superyacht marinas to take your pick from, many of which have fantastic dining and shopping opportunities.

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.

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.

Looking for the best superyacht hotspots in the Caribbean? These are the spellbinding locations guests find most enticing. If you are interested in any of these cruising grounds, we strongly advise booking as far in advance as possible.

• Antigua: the jet-set adore its unbelievable scenery, intriguing historical landmarks, lavish shopping options and a cluster of ivory-white sands coupled with gin-clear waters.
• St Martin/Sint Maarten : French and Dutch sides of the island combine to bring a fascinating fusion of influences, replete with outstanding diving spots and awe-inspiring topography. 
• St Lucia : considered the tropical jewel of the Windward Islands, it's virtually unspoiled. Bordered by lush rainforest and dark volcanic sands, it makes for a truly unique anchorage spot. 
• Grenada : known as the Isle of Spice thanks to being one of the world's largest exporters of mace and nutmeg, its capital St George is regularly called the Caribbean's most picture-perfect town. 
• St Barts : Well-known for its moniker "St Moritz of the Caribbean" due to its unique Swedish-French colonial heritage, this iconic tiny island is synonymous with glamour, movie stars and designer shopping. 
• St Croix, US Virgin Islands : The largest of the USVIs boasts a National Park, breath-taking scenic beauty and some of the best dive spots in the Caribbean.
• Puerto Rico : Affectionately known locally as the ‘island of enchantment’, Puerto Rico is a profusion of vibrant Latin culture entwined with the laid back rhythm of the Caribbean, with pristine beaches, excellent diving spots and exquisite local dishes.

A yacht rental vacation in the Caribbean delights guests with its truly endless number of things to see and do. Here are our top picks:

Don't Miss:

• Eden Rock St. Barts : one of the most in-demand hotels in the Caribbean, with a seven-star bar and spa.
• Hermitage Bay, Antigua : kick back and relax on this tropical beach that delivers on sensational views.
• Bagatelle, St. Barts : overlooking the glittering Gustavia harbor, this sophisticated bar and restaurant is a hugely popular superyacht spot, showcasing the finest of French-Caribbean cuisine.
• Basil's Bar, Mustique : legendary bar and restaurant designed by Philippe Starck, frequented by royals, supermodels and rockstars for decades.
• The Cotton House, Mustique : a wellness center unsurpassed in beauty.
• Watermelon Cay, St John, US Virgin Island s: dreamy islet surrounded by coral reefs and a veritable snorkeling wonderland
• Rhone Marine Park, British Virgin Islands : the wreck of the RMS Rhone is the BVIs' most popular dive site, and arguably one of the best in the Caribbean.
• Trunk Bay, St John, US Virgin Islands : all dazzling white sand lapped by the bluer-than-blue ocean, this island paradise ranks consistently among the world’s top 10 beaches.
• Jardines del Rey archipelago, Cuba : known locally as the ‘King’s Gardens’, this collection of islands is a registered UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and an island-hopper's paradise, offering myriad secluded beaches and sensational sunsets.

For anyone looking to get a dose of serious sunshine during the Northern Hemisphere winter, a yacht charter in the Caribbean is a seriously enticing prospect, with St Barts being the clear favorite for Christmas and New Year's Eve, thanks to the showstopping celebrations that take place in Gustavia Harbour.

For avid island hoppers, the Windward islands offer an enchanting itinerary full of sun-kissed isles and laid back charm juxtaposed with chic resorts and heavenly French-based cuisine, not to mention unrivalled vistas and sultry sunsets accompanied by warm rum-laced winds. 

Across all Caribbean destinations, keen divers and snorkelers will be in for a subaquatic treat, and you'll find a wide range of designer boutiques and ultra-high-end resorts peppered across the isles wherever you go.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

sample itineraries

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.

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:

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. 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:

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:

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.

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.

Charter Sailing in the Caribbean

The Caribbean's numerous islands give you so many fabulous places to explore, so many diverse cultures to experience, that the permutations for planning a sailing charter are simply too numerous to list. The sailing distances between territories can be very short, and there are countless yacht charter bases scattered across the region. That opens the door to all manner of opportunities – from a seven-day sail around one distinct island nation to a multi-week one-way charter that takes in a wide variety of cultures and geographical features.

The Caribbean yacht charter season is busy from November through July. The peak season is mid-December to March, when winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers.

The hurricane season arrives late July and can last until early October, although storms here are rare and tend to deflect northwards towards the USA rather than hit the Caribbean. These months have their advantages in that they are the least costly for chartering, particularly in the British Virgin Islands. At that time of year it is in fact more likely to encounter light winds than it is storms.

As with many yacht charter locations, the shoulder season can be the best time to charter a yacht. In the Carribean that's from April to July. There are less shore-based visitors then, yet you can expect settled and sunny weather with warm, steady breezes prevailing.

We have access to over 30 charter bases in the region, from where you can take a sailboat vacation like no other. We select from the best boats available and guide you into the ideal sailing adventure that matches your interests and level of experience. The sailing options here are just about endless. Hopefully these pages will help you on your way to your much-anticipated Caribbean sailing holiday.

Regional Map of the Main Charter Sailing Areas

A one-way cruise: martinique to grenada, there are quite simply countless itinerary options for sailing the caribbean. for many charterers a downwind cruise offers the crew conditions for maximum enjoyment. so here's a sample north to south course plan that gives you the prevailing breeze abaft. .

Waterfront at Fort de France, Martinique's largest town

Sailing from Martinique to Grenanda you can expect winds primarily from the northeast, especially around peak season either side of Christmas. Sailing this course involves short stretches of open water, with a stiff and steady breeze on your aft quarter. That makes for quick passages with most enjoyable sailing to a choice of Islands, whether it be for a lunch stop and a snorkel, or an overnight stay.

The eastern Caribbean islands that form a distinctive arc on the map are collectively the Lesser Antilles, a mixture of soverign states and territories governed by various powers. A trip along some of this chain exposes the voyager to a wide variety of cultures and customs in places that all sit in the idyllic picture-postcard surroundings of the movies and travel brochures. 

Starting in Martinique and sailing south, you are exploring the Windward Island group of the Antilles.

Wildlife viewing at its finest in the Tobago Cays

Like most of this group, Martinique was orginally colonised by France, and French flair is still in evidence there today. Martinique offers excellent on-shore facilities for the visitor, and is a popular base for boat charters. The island is mountainous, but with plenty of white sandy beaches to enjoy, especially in the south.

The next island is St Lucia. It's some 30 nautical miles to Rodney Bay on St Lucia's northwest, so to get there requires an early start. There are several top spots to visit down the island's sheltered western coast. Take time out to investigate Les Deux Pitons.

Another long but relaxing sail to St Vincent and the Grenadines, so-named because of their joint French and British colonial history. St Vincent has its Blue Lagoon that you'll probably overnight in, while the Grenadines island group, some of which confusingly belong to Grenada, provide numerous anchoring options.

Happy charterers enjoying their time ashore in the Grenadines

The Grenadines stretch all the way to Grenada, your final port of call, making this part of the voyage very convenient for a leisurely sail. Call in at one of the uninhabited Tobago cays for a real taste of desert island living, if only for a few hours.

Once offshore Carriacou you are in Grenadan territory. Grenada, like St Lucia & St Vincent and the Grenadines, is now an independent member of the British Commonwealth, but with historical French influence. This is the 'Island of Spice' where nutmeg and mace production are important to the economy. As is tourism, and there is plenty to entertain you before concluding your vacation and departing these fabulous sailing waters.

Once you have experienced all the pleasures of sailing the Caribbean, chances are you'll be back one day for more.

This was one of the very best trips we’ve ever taken and by far the best vacation we’ve taken in the Caribbean.  We have been to many islands and resorts over the last 30 years; all wonderful experiences, but pale in comparison to this vacation.

Beatriz was great in assisting us to choose the right catamaran for 8 of us including two kids on relative short notice and very helpful In answering all kinds of question about the boat, the crew , contract and the possible route.Definitely recommend you use their expertise in choosing your boat and crew  as I will also do the next time I do a charter in the islands .

Fabiola took all the time I needed to choose the perfect yacht vacation for my friends and I for my special birthday.  In the end, all of my needs were met and we had the vacation of a lifetime.  She was extremely patient in explaining all the ins and outs and what to look for as I was choosing the perfect yacht and I so appreciate that.  She also made all the paperwork and pre-vacation planning a breeze.  Thank you Sail Play Dine Yacht Charters!

Charter yacht of the week: The 71m family-style yacht with extra pizzazz

Each week, we place a spotlight on the world’s finest superyachts for charter . This week, BOAT steps on board the 70.6-metre Talisman C , an elegant superyacht by Turkish shipyard Turquoise Yachts …

When it comes to family charters, there’s one element that you can never have enough of – space. Space is key when you have the brood in tow, as you need to have more room for entertainment, extra toys and some all-important room for peace and quiet. Talisman C has plenty of rooms that are beautiful to boot, with an ornate Art Deco interior that appeals to the whole family.

Talisman C was delivered in 2011 and is a familiar face on the charter market. Her interiors, by H2 Yacht Design , play a huge role in this with grand crystal chandeliers, cream furniture and black lacquered surfaces. But the theme does not smack you in the face and is, importantly, very liveable, thanks to a human-centred approach encompassing elements such as an informal dining table and karaoke machine. It's like stepping into a scene from The Great Gatsby , only Talisman C is far more welcoming.

She was commissioned by an experienced owner who wanted an upgrade from his beloved yacht after he needed more space for tenders and water toys. The result is just that – a continuous success on the charter market that still feels fresh more than a decade after her delivery. 

Key features

LOA : 70.6m Builder : Turquoise Yachts Year: 2011 Guests: 12

As you step on board, the balance of black lacquer and cream will immediately notify you of the yacht’s theme. The amount of lounge space is also apparent, with grand sofas and armchairs, cosied around an illuminated coffee table. The main interior dining area is positioned just behind, lying beneath a bespoke crystal light installation.

Deck spaces on board Talisman C are beyond impressive and the sundeck (where guests will likely spend most of their time) has a huge Jacuzzi, a sit-up bar and a shaded al fresco dining area. Here there is also a 50-inch screen, for movie nights under the stars. 

Inside there is a daybed for snoozing as well as a comfortable lounge area with a 65-inch television further forward, A games room can be found here too, which doubles as a study when normal life calls. A key feature of the design is the spiral stairs that wind around an intricate glass sculpture, illuminated by a sundeck skylight.

Life on board Talisman C

Accommodation on board is for 12 guests across six beautifully laid-out cabins. However, the star of the show is the owner’s suite, which is forward-facing on the main deck. In keeping with the yacht’s sophisticated interiors, the owner’s cabin takes on boudoir-style décor with voile curtains around the bed. Grand crystal chandeliers hang bedside the bed, with reading lights and the blend of black lacquer enhancing its grandeur. Gold mosaic tiles can be found around a spa bath and shower room too to make it extra special.

For those who want to keep up with their fitness regime, a fully stocked gym and wellness area with a massage table can be found on board. There is even a beauty salon for a bit of preening, which can be accessed via the corridor leading to the VIP and owner’s suites.

In the name of fun, Talisman C is quite special at the waterline, where a full-width aft garage with lift-up clamshell doors on each side resides. Here, guests will find a toy cupboard stocked with all of the latest gear. For those guests who prefer not to hear the constant buzz of small engines, there is a Laser dinghy, plus a selection of windsurfers and canoes. The "respectable" dry tender – for going ashore without getting soaked – is a Novurania Chase 23 with Yanmar inboard diesel.

Tenders Sailing dinghy RYA training centre Three Waverunners SeaBobs Flyboard eFoil Kayaks Stand up paddleboards Wakeboard Wakesur Kite surfing equipment Windsurfer Waterskis Inflatable tows Scuba diving equipment

Where will Talisman C be cruising?

Talisman C is available for charter with Burgess with a weekly rate from €567,000. The yacht for charter will be cruising the western Med for the remainder of the summer before heading over to balmy Caribbean waters for the winter season.

Four Seasons Yachts Wants to Take You to the Caribbean for the Holidays

What’s Four Seasons’s version of spreading holiday cheer? Sailing around the Caribbean on a luxury superyacht, of course.

Four Seasons Yachts just revealed nine new voyages to the Bahamas and the Caribbean to celebrate the 2026-2027 holiday season. The portfolio expansion includes itineraries aboard its Four Seasons I ship which will set sail between November 19, 2026, and January 31, 2027. Meaning, you can escape the chill and celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even ring in the New Year at sea.

Diners Are Ready to Spend Big at Bars and Restaurants This Holiday Season, New Data Shows

“Building from the excitement and interest of our initial Mediterranean and Caribbean journeys , we are thrilled to unveil the final set of exceptional voyages for Four Seasons Yachts inaugural year,” says Alejandro Reynal, president and CEO of Four Seasons, in a press statement.

Four Seasons I will embark on a 10-night Thanksgiving journey from St. John’s, Antigua, roughly one week before U.S. travelers would normally be slicing into their turkeys. Instead, you’ll be treated to a Caribbean-inspired feast prepared by the Four Seasons culinary teams with the picturesque Saint Pierre, Martinique as the backdrop. In addition, the trip includes stops at Soper’s Hole in the British Virgin Islands and Prickly Bay in Grenada where seafarers can hang out at laid-back beach bar or check out a world-famous underwater sculpture park.

All will be merry and bright if you opt for the seven-night Christmas adventure. Guests will kick off the excursion with a stay at the sunny Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club in South Florida. Then, it’s off to Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke for Painkiller cocktails, which originated at the island’s iconic Soggy Dollar Bar. By the Christmas Eve, the vessel arrives in St. Barths where you’ll trade animated displays for twinkling harbor lights, before zooming to Palmetto Point on the island of Barbuda for the big day. Here, travelers can dig into a beachside banquet and bask in local holiday traditions. The journey wraps on the powder-soft shores of Sint Maarten at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla .

Meanwhile, the countdown to 2027 will take place on a seven-night charter in the middle of the Atlantic with a lavish New Year’s Eve party that includes flowing champagne and a relaxing beach day in the Exuma Sound to start the year. Of course, for those looking to spend their entire Twixmas break on the open ocean, there’s an epic 14-night sailing that combines both trips.

Things To Do Fun and Games

You don’t have to be a billionaire to vacation on a yacht in the caribbean. and it can be more fun than a cruise.

When I told friends I was going to sail on a Dream Yacht Charter around St. Martin and St. Bart’s for six days with a small group of passengers I had yet to meet, they made lots of references to “Below Deck,” the Bravo reality TV show about yachts and yachties. I wasn’t familiar with the show, so I tuned in.

Whoa! Was I going to be onboard with inebriated women jumping into the sea for a midnight swim in their designer cocktail dresses and middle-aged men suffering from the delusion they are Justin Timberlake on the dance floor? Would the crew dismiss us as a bunch of snobs and talk trash about us behind our backs?

Fortunately, the answer was no.

When I boarded the Dream Baliceaux at the marina in Anse Marcel, a lush island at the northern tip of St. Martin, I met my delightfully drama-free sailing mates — a couple from Delaware who were proud grandparents, a 30-something woman from Florida who loved snorkeling and a Frenchman who was a professional photographer.

Come hell or high water — and I really hoped there would be no high water — these were my companions for the next week on the Lagoon 620, a 62-foot catamaran with six cabins for guests and crew.

That’s how it works with this cabin charter . Each passenger or couple rents one cabin that starts at $1,115 and shares the common spaces, such as the dining area and spacious decks, with their fellow sailors.

Bottom line: Your name doesn’t have to be Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos to afford a yachting vacation in the Caribbean.

Another option is renting the entire boat with only friends and family aboard. Sail with a full crew, or if you are an experienced sailor, no crew.

In my case, there were two crew members: the skipper, David, and an exceptionally talented French cook named Natalie. I still dream of her coquilles St. Jacques, a traditional French dish of scallops poached in white wine.

I’ve cruised many times on large ships with thousands of passengers, but this was my first overnight yacht experience, and it was unlike any of my other seafaring adventures.

There’s a lot of waiting on a massive ship, especially for shore excursions. A snorkeling trip may mean waiting in the ship’s auditorium for half an hour, a 45-minute bus ride and then an hour actually snorkeling before you board the bus for another 45-minute ride back to the ship.

On a charter, if you want to go snorkeling, just jump in. Stay as long as you want.

Anse de Colombier, a pristine beach that’s part of the St. Barts Marine Reserve is a snorkeler’s paradise. I was greeted by a southern stingray flapping its wing-like fins to propel itself gracefully along the ocean floor. Stingrays aren’t aggressive creatures, but they have barbed tails to protect against predators. I didn’t want to be mistaken for one, so I swam away.

My next companion was much less threatening. An amiable sea turtle floated alongside me as I admired fish in a kaleidoscope of colors.

Back on board, we all learned the importance of using extra clothes pins when hanging our bathing suits to dry in the wind. I asked Tina, the woman from Florida, if she had seen the bottom to my bathing suit. No, had I seen the top to hers? We joked about the mismatched pair keeping each other company at the bottom of the sea.

The tiny island of Pinel off the French side of St. Martin was a favorite stop, not only because of its postcard-perfect beaches, but because of the bounty of seafood.

“I’ll take that one,” I said, pointing to a Caribbean spiny lobster wriggling in an underwater cage with its companions, all destined to become lunch for hungry day-trippers.

A man hauled the cage out of the ocean, and with a gloved hand, wrestled the crustacean into a bucket. It was whisked away to the kitchen of Yellow Beach restaurant, where it would be grilled to perfection.

I waited for my meal at a table in a thatched-roof cabana that offered a view of beachgoers frolicking in the emerald-hued waves of the Caribbean Sea.

St. Martin, split between the Netherlands and France, is widely heralded as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, and grilled lobster is a local specialty.

Unlike the Maine lobster most familiar to Americans, Caribbean lobster doesn’t have large front claws. It’s prized for its densely packed sweet tail meat, which is slightly firmer than its New England counterpart.

Instead of the usual melted butter, the lobster was served with a piquant Creole sauce, a nod to St. Martin’s West Indian culinary influence.

After a hearty lunch, a dinghy ferried me back to the Dream Baliceaux. Skipper David raised the sails, and off we went.

We went ashore in Gustavia, the capital of the island country of St. Barts, a tropical paradise with French finesse that has long been an oasis for the rich and famous. It was off season, so I didn’t come across Leonardo DiCaprio hanging out with supermodels on one of the island’s unspoiled beaches or run into Jennifer Lopez shopping on the chic Quai de la République, home to luxury stores that include Hermes and Louis Vuitton; but celebrity spotting is always possible.

This fashionista will never spend $50,000 on a handbag, but window shopping is free.

On Rue Samuel Fahlberg, I serendipitously strolled into CED & ROD, an elegant boutique, to escape the heat, and was instantly captivated by the delicate silks and other light fabrics destined to flutter in a tropical breeze.

Rodolphe Ayer welcomed me in, and even let me peek at the atelier, or workshop, in the back. It was thrilling for someone who is a bit of a clothes horse. A wall was covered in sketches featuring next season’s fashions, and Cedric Fahey, the “maestro,” as Ayer calls him, sat at a sewing machine bringing couture and bespoke designs to life.

One day I kicked back on the boat’s sun-splashed deck, observing brown pelicans dive bomb into the ocean and soar off triumphantly with wiggling fish. It was a choppy ride to Grand Case, a laid-back village on the northwest side of St. Martin that’s celebrated for lolos, the affordable, open-air restaurants centered around a grill.

To find one, just follow your nose. The smoky aroma of meat hangs thick in the air, enticing hungry passersby. Practically any creature that walks, crawls or swims can be spotted sizzling on the grill.

At the Rib Shack, I took an oceanfront seat and soaked up the breathtaking view. As the last sliver of sun sank into the horizon, a patchwork of purple and orange clouds provided an ethereal backdrop for the illuminated yachts docked for the night.

I tucked into a plate piled high with enough food to feed half the island. The ribs were the star of the show, but a supporting cast of delicious sides that included curry rice, plantains and Johnny cakes — fried cornmeal patties that are a Caribbean staple — rounded out the down-home meal.

Later that evening, the boat rocked gently as I sat beneath a canopy of stars admiring the lights on Grand Case in the distance. I realized that for once, I didn’t feel compelled to check my phone.

I was a lucky girl — living the yachting lifestyle without owning a yacht. Thankfully, nothing about the experience remotely resembled the histrionics of “Below Deck.”
