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:

What Type of Charter Yacht?

There are all types of Caribbean yacht charters available, including mega yachts, power yachts, catamarans, and sailboats. We have helped countless clients choose the right charter yacht, learning what features and amenities make a difference on caribbean charter yachts.

Where Can You Go?

It’s important for you to remember that there is no cruise ship itinerary to worry about! Your itinerary will be custom designed specifically for you, with you, and is flexible to changes during your charter.

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?

Are you excited yet? You should be! Our clients have enjoyed fantastic Caribbean vacations. There is an endless number of places to visit in the Caribbean, from smaller islands to absolutely must be seen locations like St. Barts.

Thank you to the entire Sailoé team who, throughout our holiday, from preparation to our departure from the base, met all our expectations with diligence and courtesy.

Many thanks to Sailoé, whom I recommend for your next rentals.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the boat and the welcome you gave us. We'll be back with pleasure!

Quentin P. Feb 26, 2024

Very nice Cruise in all Inclusive of 15 days. I was the only one who liked the boat, my wife and daughter weren't completely on board... They loved it. Skipper and cook very attentive. We discovered sublime places. Continental and Creole food, fish and lobster on the BBQ. I will come back in 2 years, to leave from the Blue Lagoon base in St Vincent, which is 1h30 away from the Grenadines. Very nice memories and an amazing preparation before our cruise. Thanks to the whole team for these 15 days of dream.

Renting a catamaran for a week with 9 people! The agency was truly excellent, the team was very pleasant, accommodating, and available! The Lagoon 380 is fantastic!

Alice Jul 7, 2024

Sailoé is a newcomer to Guadeloupe and a very professional charter company that I highly recommend. They have some very beautiful, very recent and well-maintained catamarans on site. Martin is very professional and gives good advice, as does the fleet manager on site. Thank you to the whole Sailoé team.

Maxime L Mar 8, 2024

Swimming with dolphins at Grande Anse. Adorable crew (skipper Dany and hostess Nadège) who were extremely tactful and always wanted to please us, both in their choice of anchorages and in the way they adapted the cuisine to our tastes. They both contributed to the success of our holiday and we thank them warmly for that.

Karine L Feb 17, 2024

I wanted to thank you for the service and Cedric and Anne Marie. I couldn't do it sooner. I had to go back to Brittany. We are very happy with our stay and the boat. My mates who knew neither the catamaran nor the Grenadines (except for Pierre). have extraordinary memories of this holiday. A big thank you to the whole team Good continuation and good luck for the future.

Richard (Paris) Mar 15, 2024

Unforgettable vacation! Our rental of the Lagoon 42 will leave us with wonderful memories for a long time – breathtaking landscapes, a comfortable boat, and a paddle that the children enjoyed greatly! I recommend Sailoé 100%.

Included: Standard boat inventory and equipment, bed linens, shower towels, fins, mask, and snorkels, dinghy with its motor, fishing rod, and charcoal barbecue.

When you book one of our catamaran cruises, we make sure your experience is as enjoyable as possible. To achieve this, we've included various equipment and amenities in your package so you can fully enjoy your trip in the Caribbean.

The standard boat inventory includes everything you need for a comfortable cruise, from kitchen utensils to safety equipment. You don't have to worry about bringing these basic items as we provide them for you.

For your comfort, we also provide bed linens and shower towels, so you don't need to pack your cabin with linens.

If you're eager to explore the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, we've also included fins, a mask, and snorkels. You can dive and discover the fascinating marine life of the region.

For your transportation between the boat and nearby beaches or islands, our dinghy equipped with its own motor is at your disposal. It will make it easy for you to access the shore and explore the wonders the Caribbean has to offer.

Not included: Cancellation insurance, landing and mooring taxes on the islands, consumables (diesel, gasoline, water).

We want to ensure that your trip goes smoothly, which is why we would like to inform you about what is not included in your package.

Cancellation insurance is not included, but we strongly encourage you to take out travel insurance that meets your needs and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events.

Additionally, please note that landing and mooring taxes on the islands are not included in the cruise price. These fees are typically collected by local authorities and may vary depending on the islands you visit.

Regarding consumables such as diesel, gasoline, and water, these costs are not included in the cruise rate and will be at your expense.

Payment methods: We accept payments by bank transfer as well as by credit card. We recommend cardholders to prefer this payment method as it may include additional insurance for your trip. This will allow you to benefit from the protection offered by your credit card in case of cancellation or unforeseen issues during your cruise.

We hope this information helps you better understand what is included in your Caribbean cruise package and what is not. If you have additional questions or specific needs, please feel free to contact us, and we will be delighted to assist you in making your trip unforgettable.

Early check-in: If your flight allows you to arrive at the marina no later than 2:00 PM (allow 20 minutes in Guadeloupe), you can opt for the "early boarding at 2:00 PM." This will allow you to leave the marina before sunset and spend your first night at anchor in Gosier (in Guadeloupe). Our insurance does not cover departures from the marina or anchorages after sunset. Therefore, the handover must start between 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM at the latest with the team: €300.

The best time to go sailing in the Caribbean depends on your preferences for weather conditions and crowds. Generally, there are two main seasons for sailing in the Caribbean: the dry season and the wet season.

Dry Season (High Season): The dry season extends from December to April. It is the most popular time for sailing in the Caribbean due to stable weather conditions, pleasant temperatures, and generally sunny skies. However, because of its popularity, prices can be higher, and destinations may be more crowded.

Wet Season (Low Season): The Wet season runs from June to November, with the peak of hurricane activity typically in August and September. This period carries a risk of storms and tropical cyclones, so it is essential to closely monitor weather forecasts. However, the low season offers advantages such as reduced rates, fewer crowds, and lush landscapes.

The choice of the best time to go sailing in the Caribbean will depend on your personal preferences for weather, budget, and tourist crowds.

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.

Famed for its calm, warm waters, the best way to navigate the area is through an island-hopping expedition. Here, you can get a feel for island life as you meander from port to port, taking in the breath-taking sunsets and dream-like seascapes. If you're not familiar with how to rent a yacht, look no further. 

Where could possibly be more luxurious, more utopian, or more tranquil, than the Caribbean? Yacht rentals in the Caribbean are one of our most popular charter vessels in this area, and for good reason, too. Where else can you lie in paradise with wonderfully warm weather and picture-perfect panoramic views while discovering swimming pigs, colourful iguanas and reptiles, as well as a whole host of marine life swimming just beneath the surface of the transparent water.  

What Caribbean yacht charter prices can you expect? 

Caribbean yacht charter prices fluctuate greatly depending on a number of different factors, including the size, model, and capacity of the boat, the season when you plan to travel, the duration of your charter, whether or not you plan to travel with a skipper, and the part of the Caribbean you want to visit.  Yacht rentals in the Caribbean usually come with a captain, and the most luxurious vessels even come with a crew. 

In general, daily Caribbean yacht charters can cost anywhere from around $1475 in low season, or $2283 in high season.  If you want to rent a yacht for a week in the Caribbean, prices will start at around $10, 325.  Generally speaking, Curacao is one of the cheaper areas for yacht hire in the Caribbean, while the price of yacht charters in Puerto Rico will be considerably higher. 

Is it possible to rent a yacht in the Caribbean with or without a skipper? 

Yes, it is possible to hire a yacht in the Caribbean either with or without a skipper. However, to book a bareboat charter, you must make sure that you have the appropriate boating licence. If in doubt, check with the boat owner before booking the boat to ensure no nasty surprises when you get there. 

A skippered luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean is perfect for people who want to relax during their nautical adventure, without having to worry about the technicalities of sailing the boat. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a trip that’s full of adventure and spontaneity, or simply a more private yacht charter in the Caribbean, you should book up a bareboat charter to sail wherever you please, stopping off whenever you want, all in complete privacy.

What can I do with a yacht rental in the Caribbean? 

 A luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean with a skipper allows you to sit back and relax as you sail from one contrasting island to another. You can plan your itinerary based entirely on your tastes, with everything from tranquil, secluded beaches allowing peace of mind to fast-paced water sports offering a true adrenaline rush. Whatever kind of holiday you decide on, you can adapt your Caribbean yacht charter to really make the most out of your trip. The pace and the route are completely up to you. 

And on land...  

The range of routes to choose from during your Caribbean yacht charter are very impressive! The Virgin Islands, Leeward Islands, Grenadines, St Lucia, St Martin, Antigua and — of course — the Bahamas all offer a varied landscape of pristine natural parks, lush, forested mountain landscapes and bustling marinas serving the world's best seafood. As a veritable yachting playground, you'll want to pick your base in the Caribbean and take it slow. A Caribbean yacht rental to the Lesser Antilles, for instance, may see you sailing from St Lucia to the Grenadines, stopping off at coral reefs, waterfalls and famed shipwrecks. The Bahamas, too, offers plenty of diving opportunities, with Abacos and Exumas containing some of the most beautiful marine parks in the world.  You especially shouldn’t miss the Ocean Atlas statue if you decide going diving or snorkelling here.  It is the world’s biggest underwater statue, so big that it had to be assembled underwater and is easily visible from the surface. 

If you’re still struggling for inspiration or fancy reading a bit about itinerary routes and sailing ideas, our blog is full of Caribbean yacht charter itineraries and sailing routes. Guadeloupe, The Windward Islands, the British Virgin Islands, you name it, we’ve got it. They tend to vary from a few days to a fortnight and some have various options, meaning you can tailor the route to suite the amount of time you have planned for your yacht charter.  

What weather and sailing conditions can be expected when you rent a yacht in the Caribbean? 

The weather conditions in the Caribbean are subject to much seasonal variation.  Although the temperatures remain fairly pleasant all year round, some periods see a significantly higher quantity of rain.  There is even a hurricane season, which runs from June until November, although hurricanes are most likely to occur from August to September.  During this period, the weather will be unpredictable and so it is best to avoid booking a boat within this time. 

When is the best time for a yacht rental in the Caribbean? 

Christmas and Thanksgiving are both popular times of the year for to go sailing in the Caribbean with family and friends. However, to us, the most preferable time of year is early summer in the months from March to June. The flowers and plants are in bloom, the wildlife is tranquil and content with the pleasant weather conditions and calm winds.  There will also be fewer tourists, meaning you are more likely to find better boat deals. 

The only time we would advise against hiring a yacht in the Caribbean is during the hurricane season.  Although there is a possibility that the hurricanes won’t hit the island where you are, there is also a possibility that the weather will be too poor some days to go out on the water. 

What are the best harbours and marinas to stop off at during your Caribbean yacht charter? 

While there are many great harbours and marinas in the Caribbean, we have compiled a list of our top ten: 

• American Yacht Harbour, St Thomas, USVI
• Bimini Bay Resorts and Marina, Bimini, the Bahamas
• Isle de Sol, a small island near Anguilla
• Jolly Harbour Marina, Antigua and Barbuda
• Marina Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic
• Leverick Bay Resort and Marina, Virgin Gorda, BVI
• Rodney Bay Marina, St Lucia
• The Yacht Club Palmas de Mar, Puerto Rico
• Royal Jamaica Yacht Club and Marina, Jamaica 
• Yacht Haven Grande, St Thomas, USVI 

This list is just a small taste of the fantastic marinas waiting for you in the Caribbean, but they are some of the best suited to accommodate the needs of all sailors, from novices to those with a little more experience. 

How to get to the Caribbean? 

You can fly directly to many of the island airports in the Caribbean. Lots of them are international airports and others are smaller local airports. Miami International Airport (MIA) is a large airport with many connections and is also close to the Bahamas if you would rather rent a yacht in Miami and sail over.

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.

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.

Caribbean Yachting Hotspots

Caribbean sailing charters give you access to white-sand beaches and laid-back island vibes, but they can also offer action-packed itineraries. From island-hopping and hiking to snorkeling and cliff-jumping, adventure awaits on a Caribbean yacht charter!

Some of the region’s must-see destinations include:

• St. Martin : Known for its upscale eateries and amazing cuisine, as well as high-end spas, shopping and casinos, St. Martin is the yachting capital of the Caribbean. This island is part French and part Dutch, and it’s close to islands like St. Barts and Anguilla, making it a favorite jumping-off point for island-hopping adventures.
• St. Barts : St. Barts (sometimes called St. Barths) beckons A-listers to its posh beach clubs, fashionable shops, and five-star eateries. Visitors will find a collection of truly spectacular powdery beaches, Michelin-starred restaurants, and excellent shoreside amenities, all within cruising distance of St. Martin.
• Antigua : Antigua epitomizes the relaxation and bliss of the Caribbean. Known for its 365 beaches (one for every day of the year), the tiny island is a sailor’s dream, offering warm waters, steady winds, safe anchorages, and a lively regatta calendar.
• Grenada : Grenada is revered for its beautiful beaches, abundant marine wildlife, and vibrant cuisine (spiced with local nutmeg, mace, and allspice). Spend a day relaxing on Grand Anse Beach, which is consistently ranked one of the best in the world. Island-hop to neighboring isles like Petite Martinique, or spend a day snorkeling one of Grenada’s famous reefs.
• Anguilla : Anguilla is one of the most tranquil Leeward islands. Escape to Dream Bay or one of the numerous nearby coral cays for some supreme R&R. A diving and snorkeling mecca, Anguilla is home to some of the Caribbean’s best shipwreck dives. Plus, the island boasts a calendar of must-see festivals and events, including a jazz festival in November and Carnival in August.

Why Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean?

The best Caribbean yacht charters offer a bit of everything: Relaxation, sun-soaked beaches, delicious culinary treats, refreshing rum-infused cocktails, and calm waters for cruising. Here are some highlights:

The Inescapable Beauty of White-Sand Beaches

Caribbean beaches have almost a mythical quality to them. It’s no wonder explorers were once willing to board wooden ships and travel thousands of miles just to see them in person.

Every island offers a selection of untouched and charming beaches for you to explore. From one-of-a-kind places like “Pig Beach” in the Bahamas to the cosmopolitan Great Bay Beach in Philipsburg, St. Martin, the beaches across the Caribbean offer legendary sights and attractions.

Colorful Celebrations and Friendly Faces

The Caribbean is known for its parades, bars, nightclubs, and parties, not to mention world-famous cocktails. When you want to step off of your luxury yacht charter, Caribbean shores and islands offer a world of fun to immerse yourself in.

A few must-see events include the St. Barth’s Bucket (if you’re into superyacht racing), the annual Carnival celebration, and the St. Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival .

Amazing Wildlife and Adventure

If snorkeling in vibrant and colorful coral reefs, diving into underwater museums, or parasailing over clear waters are some of the items on your bucket list, you can certainly get it all done during your visit to the Caribbean.

You’ll find a variety of unique adventures, from the underwater sculpture park of the Grenadines to the natural seaside baths in Virgin Gorda and hiking the Pitons in St. Lucia. The Caribbean gives you to plenty of chances to get outside and enjoy yourself.

Nonstop Relaxation

Because the area is so close to the equator, the Caribbean offers warm weather to lounge in all year round. Feel pampered aboard a luxury crewed rental yacht, and then feel calm while sinking your toes into soft, powdery white sand. Enjoy the spas, rum cocktails, and quiet, isolated beaches: Charter guests can experience supreme relaxation in the Caribbean.

Best crewed catamaran charters in Caribbean

Anyone who has chartered one of our best caribbean catamaran charters is coming back. It’s easy to understand why. This part of the world, with its calm pace of life and warm and sunny climate, is the perfect place to relax and an ideal sailing ground. There is a lot to enjoy in Caribbean : sandy, palm-fringed beaches and beautiful coves, colourful marine life and a perfectly clear sea. For many this is a picture of paradise.

We have got to know the Grenadines and the British Virgin Islands particularly well over the last few years, while visiting the territory and the yachts based there. In those areas, crewed catamaran charters are the way to go. I noticed immediately that the set-up is very different to most of the Mediterranean crewed charters of this size and type. In the Caribbean crews have turned their catamarans into homely, authentic vessels, full of character. They are perfect hosts who will proudly welcome you to their home, enthusiastic and eager to provide the most memorable charters for clients.

It takes a particular kind of approach to the job to make a great crew.  At the heart of it is a total commitment to getting everything right and a real love of the job.  These teams never stop being great!

Our ‘gold list’ of perfect BVI catamaran charters in this area is no secret to many of our clients. They are requested and booked months in advance.

This is a shortlist from our list of excellent crewed catamarans in the Caribbean:

Best Caribbean catamaran charters

Catamaran atlas – bali 5.4.

Up to 8 guests in four en suite cabins, 2 crew, chartering in the Caribbean Virgin Islands

Bali 5.4 are so spacious! The salon and galley are an open space area with a lot of light. Brynn and Rosie are the crew. We were so lucky to be invited to Rosie’s lunch on board ATLAS and it was fantastic! We wrote the following notes about it:

• Sustainability conscious crew
• Welcoming, kind, perceptive
• Great at setting the vibe
• Bryn is a mixologist and his welcome drink was so refreshing

The weekly charter rate depends on number of guests and starts from $28,500 all inclusive.

Catamaran EMYSA – Leopard 58

Designed for up to 6 guests, 2 crew, based in the British Virgin Islands for the winter and in the Grenadines for July and August.

Spacious, open, homely, mellow, immaculate …. we use those words to describe the beautiful EMYSA. This crewed catamaran is at the top of our list for all of that and its crew. Bastian and Saray are welcoming and professional. Anyone will feel at home on EMYSA.

The weekly charter rate depends on number of guests and starts from $27,000 all inclusive.

Catamaran OCEANA – Bali 4.8

Up to 8 guests, 2 crew, based in the British Virgin Islands.

Umberto and Lindsay are warm, welcoming hosts with an excellent knowledge of the Caribbean islands.

We have known OCEANA and the crew for a couple of seasons. The boat is kept in a great condition, and they have become one of the most popular crews. We were not surprised to hear that.

Catamaran EBB & FLOW – Lagoon 560

3 guest cabins, 2 crew, chartering in the Caribbean Virgin Islands & in the Grenadines for the summer months.

Ebb & Flow follows the motto, ‘Explore, Connect, Rejuvenate’. This catamaran comes with rotational crews – Missy and Travis Krueger are on board between 13 January and 15 April, while Captain Taylor and chef Margaret are on board for the rest of the year. Both crews have an outstanding reputation.

Families, foodies, divers, and groups who want to spend quality time together with exceptional cuisine and beverages, will find that those crews exceed their expectations.

Catamaran COLIBRI – Fountaine Pajot 67

For us, COLIBRI is one of the most beautiful, crewed catamarans in the British Virgin Islands and Graham and Kristiann are amongst the best crews in the Caribbean. This year, they have been joined by stewardess Stacey who has worked as a professional diving instructor since 2017 in various locations around the world including Indonesia, Philippines, the UK and the British Virgin Islands. In 2022, she joined a liveaboard dive yacht for a season in the Turks and Caicos and a season snorkelling with Humpback whales in the Dominican Republic.

The weekly charter rate depends on number of guests and starts from $48,900 all inclusive.

The Time of Year to Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean:

The main Caribbean sailing season runs from November through to July. The Caribbean primary high season is from mid-December to March, when the winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers. The hurricane season is from late July to early October, although hurricanes are in general rare in the southern Caribbean. Unfortunately, they can be prevalent around Cuba, Bahamas and the east coast of the U.S. every few years. This is the least expensive time for chartering in the Caribbean and there are some really good deals are available. However, as well as running the risk of storms, this time of year also tends to be associated with lighter (or non-existent) winds.

As with many boating locations the Caribbean shoulder season, in this case from April to July, is also a great time to charter a boat as there are less shore based visitors, some lovely settled sunny weather, and warm yet steady breeze. The Caribbean is made up of many different multi-nation (and multi-cultural) volcanic islands. There are amazing sailing grounds stretching from Cuba and Jamaica in the west, through the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands, finishing with Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela.

Caribbean Yachting Hot Spots:

Here is a brief list of some of the Caribbean hot spots to consider experiencing when you rent a luxury crewed charter yacht. This is by no means an extensive list and there is more information on things to see and do in the Caribbean under each Caribbean private yacht location. Also, when you hire a yacht with us we will supply you with a customised hand written itinerary suggestion so that you and your crew have a few ideas to choose from on your charter.

For instance, in Anguilla, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent, the Grenadines and Antigua, the East Caribbean dollar is the currency.

Windward Islands

The Caribbean is a year-round destination, but the best time to go on a yacht charter is during the high season from December to April. This is when the weather is at its best, with clear skies, calm seas, and warm temperatures. However, this is also the busiest time, so be sure to book your charter well in advance. The low season from May to November is known for its occasional rain showers, but it's also a great time to find deals and avoid the crowds.

Weather Considerations and Navigating the Hurricane Season

Understanding the Caribbean's tropical climate, which includes sudden rainfalls even in high season, is crucial for planning your Caribbean yacht charter. The hurricane season runs from June to November, offering lower prices but requiring flexible travel plans due to potential disruptions. Most charter companies provide insurance or guarantees for hurricane-related issues.

Special Events and Festivals

The Caribbean hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the year, which can be a delightful addition to your yacht charter experience. Planning your trip around events like the St. Barth's Bucket Regatta or Antigua Sailing Week can add an exciting dimension to your holiday.

Take a journey into the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean with a yacht charter to Anguilla . Flying directly into any significant airport on this quaint island is impossible. However, chartering a yacht offers visitors easy access to some of the region's best beaches.

Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda are excellent destinations for a private yacht rental Caribbean . With its crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and lush vegetation, Antigua is a paradise. Trade winds make the temperatures comfortable.

Whether you're looking to relax or party in the Leeward Islands, Antigua and Barbuda has something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, jet skiing, exploring historic sites from colonial times, or indulging in world-class cuisine.

This country has more than 365 beaches.

St. Vincent & The Grenadines

St. Vincent is a great place to enjoy the sun and swim in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. You can relax on powdery white sand beaches. Or stroll to discover a waterfall cascading from a cave covered in ferns within a lush, green forest.

Or you can explore historic sites like the Falls of Baleine or Queen Elizabeth Park Botanical Gardens. There is also no shortage of water activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing!

Guadeloupe | Caribbean Charters

Guadeloupe is the Caribbean yacht charter of choice. The best time to visit Guadeloupe in the Leeward Islands is between December and April. At that time, it's warmer, and rainfall is at its lowest.

The eastern coast of Guadeloupe has long stretches of white sand beaches. It's an ideal place for taking a stroll and enjoying the sights of palm trees and warm waves on either side.

St. Lucia offers a plethora of highlights for travelers seeking a unique experience. One of the main highlights is the majestic Pitons, two volcanic peaks that rise dramatically from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. These UNESCO World Heritage Sites are a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, offering breathtaking views and opportunities to explore the lush rainforests and abundant wildlife.

Anchoring in the bay below the Pitons is one of the most outstanding views to behold.

Another highlight of St. Lucia is its vibrant cultural heritage. The island is known for its lively festivals and events, such as the annual St. Lucia Jazz Festival and the colorful carnival celebrations. St. Lucia's rich history and friendliness make it a truly captivating destination.

In addition, there are two excellent marinas on the island. The Rodney Bay Marina and the marinas in Marigot Bay. Margot Bay is very scenic and special.

St. Martin and St. Maarten Caribbean Charters

The island is located approximately 90 miles east of Puerto Rico. Saint Martin is a captivating destination, blending French charm with Dutch influences. In addition to visiting the quaint towns, there are many beaches on the French side. Notably, there are also many great culinary experiences on the island's French side.

St. Kitts and Nevis

With only 101 square miles, St. Kitts and Nevis is the smallest country in North America. Explore the beautiful beaches or search for wildlife like dolphins and whales. A private yacht cruise around these islands is the perfect way to see them.

How do I get started?

There are a few necessary parameters to consider. For example, what type of boat, your destination, the time of year, and who will accompany you. The questions below can help guide your thought process, and your CKIM yacht charter broker will assist in asking the right questions and providing the expertise to design the perfect experience for you.

How far in advance should I book a Caribbean yacht charter?

It’s advisable to book your yacht charter at least six months to a year in advance, especially if you’re planning to travel during the peak season.

What destinations are popular for yacht charters in the Caribbean?

• The British Virgin Islands: Though there are 60 islands in the British Virgin Islands, the four main ones are conveniently adjacent to one another, providing for a tranquil yacht rental. You can go surfing or shopping in Tortola in the morning, and you can swim on Virgin Gorda’s serene beaches in the afternoon. Without a doubt, among the top 10 Caribbean yacht charter destinations is Nature’s Little Secret.
• The US Virgin Islands (USVI): Don’t mix the US Virgin Islands (USVI) with the British Virgin Islands that are nearby; the USVI is located southeast of Puerto Rico. These islands are quite popular with tourists, many of whom start their voyage here on Caribbean yacht charters thanks to a sizable national park and a sizable airport.
• St. Maarten and St. Martin: Only the British Virgin Islands are a more popular sailing destination in the Caribbean than St. Martin. You can explore some of the most stunning islands in the eastern Caribbean by sailing here. Snorkelers and divers can experience some of the most beautiful, unspoiled reefs on the planet.
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: An island group in the southern Caribbean called St. Vincent and the Grenadines is well-known for being a well-liked sailing destination.

What is the best time of year to charter a yacht in the Caribbean?

The Caribbean is a year-round charter destination. Hurricane season is from the beginning of June through to the end of November. September and October can generally see more hurricane activity. Windy conditions can be encountered during winter, with calmer conditions during April – June. However, the weather changes and is unpredictable.

What types of yachts are available for charter in the Caribbean?

You can choose from motor yachts, motor sailers, catamarans, and sailboats.

Are children allowed on yacht charters?

Many yacht charters are family-friendly and offer amenities and activities suitable for children of all ages, but it’s always best to check with the charter company beforehand.

What Unique Experiences Can a Yacht Charter Offer?

From scuba diving in the Virgin Islands to wine tasting along the Amalfi Coast, luxury yacht charters offer a blend of opulence, adventure, and seclusion for an exceptional honeymoon experience.

Are pets allowed on board?

It depends on the yacht and owner’s policies. Some yachts may allow pets, while others may not. If you wish to bring a pet, kindly inform us, and we’ll check with the yacht owner to see if it’s possible.

The very best places to charter in Greece

Published 19 September 2024

Quaint white washed villages, windswept islands, clear blue waters, protected harbours and pristine beaches — Greece is a yachting playground for good reason. There are a wealth of places in Greece to discover on a yacht charter, from iconic islands like Santorini to lesser-visited petite islands and exploring the coast of the mainland. On a Greek yacht charter, you can find yourself the sole vessel moored in front of a quiet beach you can only reach by boat, dance the day away at a Mykonos beach club or visit historic archaeological sites. No matter your interests, stepping on board a private yacht in the Greek islands can take you there.

The Cyclades Islands

From the clifftop views of Santorini to the boho-chic atmosphere on Mykonos, the Cyclades stand out among the best places to charter in Greece. But even beyond these iconic locales, there are a plethora of smaller isles that deserve your time and are easy to visit on a Cyclades island yacht charter.

With soul-stirring sunsets, black-sand volcanic beaches, historical sites and photo-worthy vistas, Santorini is one of the most sought after islands in the Cyclades. Mykonos is a favourite as well, thanks to its vibrant nightlife (and daytime) party scene, high-end restaurants and beautiful anchorages framed by perfect beaches.

Other islands not to miss in the Cyclades include Paros, which has charming villages and the ideal conditions for windsurfing or kitesurfing. Milos is famed for its dramatic landscape, highlighted by caves and cliffs which can be explored by boat. Of course, Greece is also renowned for its dining, and on the laidback island of Sifnos you can sample octopus bruschetta and grilled squid at its seaside tavernas.

The Saronic Islands

Sailing in Greece from Athens to the Saronic islands is such a quick jaunt that  it ’ s  no wonder that many escape the capital city to visit. The Saronic Islands and surrounding coastline are  home to many second homes for Athenians, such as the island of  Septses , where  you ’ ll  find plenty of luxe boutiques, art galleries and fine dining eateries.  The island ’ s grand mansions and horse-drawn carriages add a touch of elegance .

Meanwhile, the nearby island of Hydra is  totally devoid  of cars and exudes an  old world  charm  —  not to mention unparalleled sunset views from its hillside bars overlooking the sea. Hydra has long been known as an artist ’ s haven, attracting everyone from Jeff Koons to Henry Miller, and this bohemian, artsy vibe is still felt.

About an hour from Athens,  Poros combines lush pine forests with a vibrant waterfront dotted with  neoclassical architecture,  upscale  cafes  and boutiques. Poros actually consists of two islands,  Sphairia  and  Kalaureia ,  which are  connected by a small bridge. The island is also home to historical sites like the Temple of Poseidon  —  dating back to 520 BC, the temple offers a glimpse into the island's rich history.

A more modern landmark is the clock tower, built in 1927, that watches over  Poros town. Poros offers a  winning  blend of natural beauty, historical significance  and a laidback atmosphere, perfect for a luxurious destination  when embarking on a sailing Greek yacht charter.

The Dodecanese Islands

Further away from mainland Greece  are  the Dodecanese Islands, which are  actually closer  to the coast of  Turkey  than Athens. The archipelago has 15 larger islands and another 150 smaller islands. Larger islands in the chain include Kos,  Patmos  and Rhodes, to name a few.  There ’ s  also the chance to combine a visit here with a cruise along  Turkey ’ s  stunning coastline.

Rhodes, Lindos

With 300 days of sunshine per year, the island of Rhodes welcomes more sunshine than any other Greek island. But it’s more than the sunny weather that makes Rhodes an ideal Greek yacht charter destination. The largest of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes boasts a winning blend of ancient history, cosmopolitan charm, and natural beauty.

There are quite a few sites of historical significance to be found on the island, such as the Palace of the Grand Master in Rhodes Old Town, which now houses a museum. In the picturesque village of Lindos on Rhodes, an enormous castle-like structure known as the Acropolis of Lindos is perched atop a steep cliff, showcasing sweeping views of the surrounding sea and the village below.

Lindos village itself is a labyrinth of winding, narrow streets that are bursting with traditional tavernas and chic boutiques, while the long, sandy strip of Lindos’s main beach is ideal for families with its calm and shallow water.

Set in the northeast of the Aegean Sea, Samos is a bewitching island home to ancient architecture, serene  beaches  and a bustling  harbour . The old port town of Pythagoreion is  winning of  the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, thanks to its fortified walls that protect the port. History buffs will also enjoy exploring the  Tunnel of  Eupalinos , a n ancient aqueduct built in the 6th century BC, considered an engineering marvel of its time and the well-preserved Roman baths, a nod to when Rome ruled this island.

Nature lovers will want to hike up to the  Potami  waterfalls or swim in the  crystal-clear  waters of  Lemonakia  beach. Samos is famous for its muscat wine, so wine aficionados will  want to make  to visit the Samos Wine Museum in  Malagari  to learn about  —  and sample  —  the island ’ s local wines. Charter yacht guests can also experience local festivals, including the Fishermen Festival in June and the Samos Wine Festival taking place later in the summer.

The Ionian Islands

Located off the west coast of mainland Greece, the  Ionian Islands   comprise  seven main islands: Corfu, Zakynthos, Kefalonia,  Lefkada , Ithaca, Paxos, and Kythira. These  serene cruising grounds are a popular spot for sailing Greece on a yacht charter, island-hopping along the way.  The   islands   here  are known for their verdant landscapes, beautiful beaches, and charming village s.

Corfu is a longtime getaway of the British elite, with a gorgeous stretch of coastline that one might mistake for the French Riviera with mansions dotting the shoreline and hillsides. Then on the island of Ithaca, you can step back into the time of Greek mythology on the mythical home of Odysseus and even visit the Cave of the Nymphs, a  mythological site associated with Homer ’ s Odyssey.

Kefalonia, Assos

On the largest of the Ionian islands, Assos is a small, idyllic village is set on a narrow isthmus that connects to a rocky peninsula, surrounded by the azure waters of the Ionian Sea. With buildings painted in bright pastel colours, balconies draped in bright bougainvillea flowers, and narrow cobbled streets, it can easily be argued that this is one of the most charming villages in all of the Ionian islands. Adding to this level of beauty is the ruins of the Assos Castle, set on a hillside overlooking the village. A hike up to the 16th century Venetian-built castle will reward you with views of the town and sparkling sea beyond.

The largest of all the Greek islands, Crete is known for its diverse terrain, from rugged mountains to pristine beaches, its charming towns and luxurious accommodations ashore. In Chania old town, on the northwest corner of the island, you can wander through narrow alleys lined with Venetian and Ottoman architecture that’s brimming with boutiques and welcoming tavernas.

This side of Crete is also home to many wow-worthy beaches where you can drop anchor and enjoy an al fresco meal taking in the views. Step ashore in Elafonissi Beach — known for its pink sand and clear turquoise waters, it’s one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Hikers will enjoy a ramble up to dramatic sights of Samaria Gorge.

On the eastern end of the island, mountainous vistas seem to tumble into the sea. Cruise into the protected harbour of Elounda, which hosts upscale hotels and exclusive villas on shore, and visit Vai Beach, famous for its palm forest, the largest in Europe, and a beautiful sandy beach.

The Peloponnese Peninsula

The Peloponnese Peninsula,  located  in southern Greece, is a region rich in history, natural  beauty  and cultural heritage. On a Greek yacht charter around the Peloponnese   Peninsula , you can step onshore to visit ancient sites and medieval towns. A few not-to-miss historical sites here include Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, where you can see the ancient stadium and learn about its history in an excellent archaeological museum. The ruins of Epidaurus are  renown  for ancient theater with exceptional acoustics, which is still used for performances today, and the Sanctuary of Asclepius.  

A charming seaport town with neoclassical architecture, the Palamidi Fortress, and the Bourtzi Castle on an islet in the harbour, Nafplio is an ideal base for a luxurious yacht charter. Known for its beautiful harbour lined with elegant buildings, waterfront eateries and charming old town, it’s a winning port of call during a Greek yacht charter. From Nafplio, you can easily reach beautiful nearby islands and coastal areas such as Spetses, Hydra and the Argolic Gulf’s hidden coves and beaches.

The Sporades Islands

Located in the northwest Aegean Sea, the Sporades Islands are a group of lush, green islands known for their pristine beaches,  crystal-clear   waters  and quaint villages. The main islands in the Sporades include Skiathos,  Skopelos ,  Alonissos  and Skyros. The island of  Skopelos  is  somewhat famous   as  being one of the main filming locations for the film  Mamma Mia!   starring Meryl Streep.  Skopelos  is renowned for its lush pine forests, beautiful beaches and scenic landscapes , and its wealth of  natural beauty was  showcased  in the movie .

The nearby island of  Alonissos  is home to the National Marine Park of Alonissos and Northern  Sporades, a protected area known for its rich marine life, including the endangered Mediterranean monk seal. Fittingly, the island offers excellent diving opportunities, including  numerous  underwater caves and shipwrecks. Skiathos boasts  more than  60 stunning beaches, including the famous Koukounaries  Beach with its golden sand and turquoise waters.  The island of Skyros  is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional crafts and the famous Skyrian  ponies.

Don't forget Mainland Greece

While the many island chains of Greece can steal the limelight, one should not overlook the charms of mainland Greece. Most Greek yacht rentals will include a visit to Athens. The capital of Greece is steeped in history and feels a bit like an open air museum with ancient landmarks are on display.

Visit the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to see iconic structures like the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike and the Propylaea. Stroll through Plaka, the picturesque old neighbourhood of Athens. And indulge in Greek cuisine at one of the many rooftop eateries that overlooks the city, with views of the Acropolis lit up in the background at night.

Other places on mainland Greece well worth the visit include the coast of Parga, located  on the northwestern corner of the country, which stands out for its hillside monastery, postcard-perfect  harbour  and long stretches of beach.

81m Oceanco Alfa Nero returns to the charter market

The 81.3-metre Oceanco Alfa Nero has finally returned to the charter market. This comes after the yacht was sold in July 2024 , ending the legal wranglings and issues surrounding her following the arrest in 2022.

Alfa Nero will be officially relaunched on the market during the Antigua Charter Yacht Show in December 2024. For the winter season, she will cruise the Caribbean and the Bahamas and be available in the Mediterranean for the summer 2025 season.

Speaking on her return to the market, Alfa Nero’ s central agent, Nicole Terry of Northrop and Johnson, said: “It’s somewhat poetic that Alfa Nero will be relaunched to the global charter market here [in Antigua] as it had become such a part of the island’s skyline. As a broker attending the show over the last couple of years, we all walked past Alfa Nero’s iconic aft pool and that sign. Every broker was “peaking over the fence”, curious about this icon and what had become of her.”

Indeed, the yacht has been sitting in English Harbour for two years. The 81.3-metre was then declared "abandoned" by the government of Antigua and Barbuda. During this time in June 2023, Alfa Nero was sold at auction to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt for $67,000,677 but the sale was not finalised due to legal complications.

Today, however, we see an imminent return to her former glory on the charter market following her sale, which saw the clearing of outstanding debts owed to creditors and the crew since the yacht’s arrival.

The yacht is now in the midst of a refit to return her to her former glory; ready to welcome brokers on board during her official presence at the Antigua Charter Show.

“There will be a quick haul out for an inspection, a new lick of anti-foul and a change of the anodes,” said Terry. “They’re renewing all the machinery, cleaning out all the air-conditioning ducting, professionally cleaning carpets and upholstery, sanding and recaulking the decks, marble polishing, wood polishing, and the laundry and galley machines are being serviced as well as the guest and crew elevators. Of course, full flag and class inspections and surveys are taking place. The yacht is an absolute hive of activity right now.”

Following the charter show, Alfa Nero will be officially available for charter in the Caribbean and The Bahamas, before returning to the Mediterranean for the summer in 2025. Northrop and Johnson also added that Alfa Nero is now taking bookings.

Having taken the industry by storm since her delivery in 2007, Alfa Nero is a welcome return. The yacht for charter famously has a sizeable swimming pool with a built-in current and an "infinity" on the aft end where the water overflows across a large sloping sheet of glass to create a waterfall effect. Her ground-breaking exteriors were penned by Nuvolari Lenard and her interiors are by Alberto Pinto.

Inside, Alfa Nero ’s styling is inspired by both pop art and Art Deco, with vibrant colour schemes, zig-zag woodwork and bold striped flooring creating a dynamic and visually arresting atmosphere.

 Now available for charter with Northrop and Johnson , Alfa Nero has a weekly rate starting at $812,500.

Exotica Charters Announces Availability of New Yacht Charter Locations Due To a Wide Adoption and Innovative Use of This Technology

Exotica Charters is a premier yacht charter company owned by DMA Yachting, a renowned international yacht charter group, focusing on charters in exotic locations. New areas have become available due to total adoption and leveraging of a new technology.

United States - September 19, 2024 —

The availability of yacht charters was long dependent upon available marinas that allow for resupply after every charter. As the average size of a crewed charter vessel increased from 45 feet to 90+ feet, they could hold much more supplies. Nowadays, there are only 2 items that need to be restocked frequently - fresh produce and water. Since most charter locations burst with fresh fruit and fish, only water needed to be solved.

myBVIcharter is the leading US yacht charter company offering a robust fleet of catamarans and motor yachts in the British Virgin Islands. The classic weekly itinerary sees all the yachts depart on Saturday in a counterclockwise direction towards Virgin Gorda and Anegada, looping on Tortola on the way back, with the last leg from Jost Van Dyke.

Depending on the day, yachts used to move like the “Spanish Armada”. As yachts started to adopt the water maker, they suddenly had more options to start from almost anywhere, as guests could be picked up on a tender. This means that travelers can start their charter on day 3, staying ahead of the main fleet while on the same itinerary.

In Greece, the effect is twofold as explained by Mo, the Charter Guru at myGreekcharter . Firstly, there are new ways to discover classic locations. Since the first yachts started allowing Santorini pickup/dropoff, other yachts chose to follow suit. Santorini does not have a marina, and the pickup with a tender was a game changer. The amount of water needed for 15 people made daily stocking impractical and the yachts chose to start and finish in Athens.

Secondly, new charter areas in Greece have become available. As new yachts continued to arrive, the Athens’ marinas were full around 2022. The new yachts needed to find new marinas. A fundamental question - “why do we need a marina?”, led to yachts operating in areas previously not touched by the crewed yachts - Sporades and Dodecanese islands.

As Daniel, the owner of DMA Yachting, explains, ”We’re seeing first 3-4 crewed yachts permanently stationed in the Sporades and 8-10 yachts in the Dodecanese. Previously, you had to charter from Athens and ideally take a 2-week charter. This is no longer the case - you can start almost anywhere.”

The situation with the motor yacht Bahamas is similar. The previously Nassau-centric model, where all yachts started in Nassau and went for a weekly “milk run” charter to the Exumas, is challenged. “People don’t want to charter in the same spot twice”, explains Mo. “With 2,400 Cays, why not start in Eleuthera or even Long Island? And if the charterer wants to start in Staniel Cay, why get there from Nassau? Start the charter there!”

The water maker is not a new technology. It’s been around for a long time. It’s the innovative use, wide adoption, and necessity to spend less or no time in the marina that made the yachts offered by myBVIcharter behave differently. 

According to Daniel, owner of the DMA Yachting group comprised of myBVIcharter, Exotic Charters, Bahamas Motor Yachts & myGreekcharter, the adoption of water makers skyrocketed from a humble 30% to a whopping 100% in the last five years. 

Due to over-tourism and overcrowding in mainstream locations, people seeking intimate retreats are becoming increasingly more interested in exotic spots like Thailand, Raja Ampat, Galapagos or Antarctica. A water maker onboard is the key technological change that made these new locations feasible.

Exotica Charters , a yacht charter specialist in emerging and remote locations owned by DMA Yachting, has also observed increasing deployment of water makers in its fleet. “We’re suddenly able to create completely new itineraries, as we can do a route ABCD instead of A to A. You can get picked up in B and dropped off at C a week later. We’re seeing multiweek charters covering huge distances, especially in the Med: Sardina/Corsica, France to Italy to Malta, Ionian to Turkey in Greece.”

From Polynesia, South East Asia, to the “newly discovered” Greek islands such as Skopelos and Kalimnos, through innovative ways to discover known Caribbean islands such as Anegada or Jost Van Dyke, the water maker and human resourcefulness are leading the yacht charter market development.
