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.

What Do Our Clients Say About The Caribbean?

Caribbean Yachting Season

The Caribbean high season for yacht charters runs from mid-December to early May, with Christmas and New Year’s the most popular and busiest times of the year. But due to the islands’ locations near the equator, temperatures remain ideal throughout the year, making off-season charters just as enjoyable.

Keep in mind, however, that there is an increased chance for storms and hurricanes during the summer season, mainly from mid-August to mid-November. Most charter yachts leave the area during that time.

Area Guide: Caribbean Charter Destinations

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

The Grenadines

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

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

The Leeward Islands

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

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

The Virgin Islands

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

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

Where Can I Charter a Yacht?

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

How Do I Book a Private Yacht?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can I Rent a Yacht for a Day?

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

Top destinations with Caribbean yacht charters

The picturesque island of St. Lucia offers charterers a tropical paradise to explore. Soak up the sun on white sandy beaches, enjoy a thrilling zip-lining experience through the island’s lush tropical rainforest, wallow in the island’s volcanic mud baths, explore abandoned sugar plantations, or indulge in authentic island cuisine at local award-winning eateries.  

St. Vincent and the Grenadines 

St. Vincent and the Grenadines lie just south of St. Lucia and are part of an archipelago of 32 verdant tropical islands boasting picturesque coastlines peppered with sugar-white sand beaches and lush tropical interiors. Embrace casual glamour and reset to island time. Highlights include eco-tours of the island’s rainforest, swimming under tropical waterfalls, and the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary on the island of Bequia. 

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

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

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

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

What’s the best time to charter a yacht in the Caribbean?

A Caribbean yacht charter can be enjoyed year-round thanks to the wonderfully warm, sun-drenched Caribbean climate; however, the best time to visit is during the winter months, when the chance of rain is minimal.

What’s the temperature like in the Caribbean?

Generally, the Caribbean has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round.

Temperatures range from the mid-70s to 80s F (24-30 C) throughout the year and remain relatively consistent due to the Caribbean’s proximity to the equator.

When should I book a Caribbean yacht rental?

You should book a Caribbean yacht rental as far in advance as possible, especially for popular yachts and destinations such as St. Barths.

Caribbean Yacht Charter

Luxury yacht charter guide to the caribbean.

A paradise of turquoise blue waters, sugar-fine sand beaches, coral reefs, and lush rainforests, the Caribbean is an iconic luxury yacht charter destination.

From the wilderness and legends of pirates of the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands to the glitzy resorts and Michelin dining of St Martins and St Barts, the Caribbean is the world’s ultimate sailing playground.

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

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

Why Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean

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

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

Caribbean Climate and Nature

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

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

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

Cultural Experiences

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

Caribbean Yacht Charter Destinations

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

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

Natural Diversity

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

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

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

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

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

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

British Virgin Islands

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

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

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

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

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

US Virgin Islands

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

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

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

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

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

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

Antigua and Barbuda

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Martinique’s capital Fort-de-France will charm history buffs and culture explorers with its chic boutiques, colorful markets, and fine French cuisine. The island is also famous for its rum production and rich Caribbean heritage.

Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty of snorkeling and diving opportunities as Martinique teems with spectacular marine wildlife and coral reef wonders.

Saint Lucia

Famous for the iconic Pitons – conical mountains towering over azure waters – and breathtaking natural beauty, Saint Lucia is a paradise for Caribbean charters.

Volcanic peaks, awe-inspiring landscapes, and picturesque coastline aside, Saint Lucia offers upscale marinas, excellent anchorages, and luxury concierge services.

The island’s vibrant social scene, dance traditions, and quaint fishing villages provide a rich tapestry of culture, while the crystal-clear waters are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and fishing.

Whether it's exploring the picturesque Marigot Bay, sailing along the scenic coastline, or indulging in a sunset cruise, there is something for everyone on St Lucia during a Caribbean yacht holiday.

Luxury yacht charters favor Barbados for its stunning coastline, picturesque coves, and beautiful anchorages.

A hub for yacht racing, buzzing social life, and ideal cruising grounds year-round, Barbados is one of the wealthiest islands in the East Caribbean, boasting luxury shopping, dining, and bar scenes, as well as world-class surfing and snorkeling.

The birthplace of rum and Rihanna, Barbados is one of the most attractive Caribbean yacht charter destinations.

St Vincent and the Grenadines

Located in the Windward Islands, St Vincent and the Grenadines boast idyllic white-sand beaches, secluded islands, and lush tropical landscapes. Comprising 32 islands and cays, St Vincent and the Grenadines offer a wealth of experiences for luxury yacht charters.

The iconic Tobago Cays, with its abundant coral wonders and marine life, the stunning anchorages of Mustique and Bequia, and the islands’ Caribbean cuisine, culture, and laidback atmosphere make St Vincent and the Grenadines an unforgettable Caribbean getaway and a must on your yacht charter itinerary.

Nestled in the Southern Caribbean, Grenada is often called the Spice Island thanks to its rich history and traditions of spice plantations, including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cocoa, and allspice.

Offering a unique blend of stunning landscapes, pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and a robust yachting scene, Grenada is an excellent yacht charter destination for adventure seekers and culture lovers alike.

Grenada's Port Louis marina is famous for its state-of-the-art amenities and services for charter yachts. The marina provides easy access to the beautiful cruising grounds of Grenada and the surrounding islands, including the Grenadines.

Its colorful carnivals, the charming waterfront of the capital St George’s, historic forts, and energetic rhythms of calypso music radiate the Caribbean spirit, while Grenada’s spectacular marine life, rainforests, and the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park provide ample opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Split between France and the Netherlands, St Martin offers a delightful blend of European charm and Caribbean flair.

Luxury yacht charter guests can enjoy the best of both worlds, experiencing different cultures, cuisines, and architectural styles combined with sophisticated dining, high-end shopping, casinos, and legendary beaches.

Marina Fort Louis offers great charter yacht amenities as well as easy access to the vibrant town of Marigot, known for its charming streets lined with boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, offering a taste of French and Caribbean fusion cuisine.

Known for its chic atmosphere and effortless glamor, St Martin is also famous for its unspoiled coral reefs and easy access to the nearby islands of Anguilla and St Barts.

A small country nestled between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize is a hidden gem in the Caribbean, boasting some of the best diving and snorkeling on the planet thanks to its 300-kilometer barrier reef.

Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye are famous for spectacular sandy beaches, incredible marine life, and the 124-meter deep Blue Hole, while the three main atolls – Glover’s Reef, Lighthouse, and Turneffe – offer a chance to channel your inner Robinson Crusoe on tiny paradise islands.

Inland, Belize is known for its Indiana Jones-style jungle hikes and hidden Mayan ruins, waterfalls, and wildlife.

Mayan, Garifuna, and Spanish cultures in Belize provide an intriguing cultural melting pot, and the local cuisine, along with drumming parties on the beach, offer a glimpse into a laidback Caribbean lifestyle under swaying palm trees.

The Best Time for Caribbean Yacht Charters

The Caribbean enjoys a long sailing season from November to July, with the high season starting in December and ending in March.

The Caribbean shoulder season from April to July sees mild temperatures and warm breezes, May is typically rainy, while the hurricane season (July-October) can be capricious, especially in Cuba.

The Cost of a Yacht Charter in the Caribbean

The cost of Caribbean yacht charters varies depending on the boat size and type. Motor yachts cost $25,000 - $50,000 per week, while sailing yachts cost $15,000 - $40,000 per week.

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

On average, however, expect to spend $20,000 - $50,000 per week on most charter yachts.

In addition to the initial charter fee, a boat rental in the Caribbean will also require to cover expenses (fuel, food, and the like) in the form of an advanced provisioning allowance (APA).

It’s best to speak to your charter broker about your options, all-inclusive packages, and the choices of charter boats available.

Yachts for Charter: Motor Yacht vs Sailing Yacht

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

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

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

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

Charter Yacht Features

Caribbean FAQs

What is the best way to get to the caribbean.

The best way to get to the Caribbean is by utilizing direct flights from Europe and the UK to Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, and St Lucia.

Some Caribbean islands may require connecting flights because of their smaller airports. Additionally, a number of Caribbean islands have private jet facilities.

Are the Bahamas and the Caribbean the same thing?

The Bahamas and the Caribbean are not the same thing: while located in the Caribbean region, the Bahamas is an independent island country in the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast.

The Caribbean, on the other hand – also known as Caribbean Islands or the West Indies – is a vast region consisting of various different countries and island groups including the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles.

In other words, although the Bahamas is a part of the broader Caribbean region, it is a specific country within the Caribbean as opposed to other Caribbean islands and nations.

How much does it cost to hire a yacht in the Caribbean?

On average, the cost of a yacht charter in the Caribbean can range from $20,000 - $50,000 per week and upward, with some of the luxury superyachts commanding a price of $1,000,000 per week or more.

What people are saying

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

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

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

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

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

Whether you’re after some downtime, adventure, or cultural vibes, these different places offer something for everyone to enjoy. 

While the Caribbean enjoys pleasant weather year-round, certain times of the year are more conducive to yacht charters than others. From December to April, the winter months are considered the peak season, with balmy temperatures and numerous events and festivals.

• Communicate Your Preferences: Be clear about your expectations and preferences with your charter broker, crew, and fellow guests to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. 
• Pack Wisely: Pack light, focusing on essentials such as sunscreen, swimwear, and casual attire. Don’t forget any necessary medications or personal items.

They allow you to explore some of the world’s most beautiful destinations in style and comfort. You’ll embark on a truly unforgettable journey by choosing the right vessel, planning, and following expert tips.

How Far in Advance Should I Book my Yacht Charter Vacation

Depending on the time of the year you wish to vacation it is important to book at least six to nine months in advance.

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 if I have dietary restrictions or preferences?

Most yacht charters can accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences with advance notice, so communicate your needs to the crew using The Preference Form before your trip begins.

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.

Do I need Travel Protection?

We recommend that you protect your vacation investment against various possible losses over which you have no control by purchasing travel protection. We will provide travel protection quotes based on the households on the charter and each person’s date of birth. It is necessary to send us this information.

Please Note: To be eligible for the waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusion, the protection plan must be purchased within 15 days (Travel Basic) or 21 days (Travel Select) from when you make your initial trip deposit. However, the plan can be purchased anytime before departure.

Caribbean Yacht Charter: the Full Price List

The Caribbean is one of the most popular destinations for yacht charters, and it’s easy to see why.

A yacht rental in the Caribbean  because of its lovely temperature and gorgeous beaches, is a true sailing playground that includes legendary superyacht locations like Antigua , St. Barts, or the Virgin Islands .

But renting a yacht in the Caribbean doesn’t come free. Here are the main factors that influence the price of a yacht charter in the Caribbean, along with the most common price ranges you can expect.

Summary of Yacht charter price ranges in the Caribbean (USD per week incl. food and beverage)

What factors influence the price of a yacht charter in the Caribbean?

An individuals owner determines the price he wants to offer for his yacht while following the market. The pricing is based on metrics like the local demand, boat length,  category, crew number and the boat age. Along with this, there are several additional factors that might considerably affect pricing. These are as follows:

1.The yacht you want to charter: the main factor determining the cost of your Caribbean charter

The yacht is a significant component in defining the charter cost, although size is not the only determinant. A freshly introduced charter boat from a renowned builder with an experienced and well-liked charter crew will attract the highest pricing for its size class. Additionally, yachts with a renowned name or a legacy of famous ownership can charge a premium for their “fame.” And yachts with distinctive amenities like movies or unique water toys are also more expensive.

Furthermore, if a yacht has a space in its charter schedule, such as after an unexpected cancellation, certain brokers will sometimes provide a limited-time charter fee reduction.

Don’t make pricing the only factor when choosing a private yacht. It is essential to comprehend why prices are high or low for a particular yacht and accordingly make a decision.

2. The Caribbean destination itself: one of the factor influencing the price of a Caribbean yacht rental

In the Caribbean , there are over a thousand islands to select from, making it arguably the most excellent location for tropical yacht charters globally. You can charter in the Caribbean in three major regions: The Bahamas , the Greater Antilles, the Windward and the Leeward islands .

Depending on the charter type, the costs, amenities, and crew vary. As per your budget, comfort, and expectation, you may choose one that fulfills your idea of an ideal charter yacht. Here are some examples:

$2’000 USD is the minimum weekly price for a bareboat yacht rental

Bareboat charters are the most affordable alternative. You are responsible for fuel, food, and other expenditures, hiring the crew (or captaining the boat, if you’re licensed to do so), and paying the crew. Additionally, you may consider adding a skipper, hostess, or a mix of the two for bareboat charters. If you’re chartering a bareboat since you are licensed, you will be responsible for all aspects of navigating, sailing, mooring, and security.

Further, it is up to you to pick whether to cook or dine at local eateries along the road. Bareboat charters provide exceptional flexibility to explore whenever and wherever (weather permitting, of course), providing a unique vacation experience for the entire family.

At least one person in the group should be a seasoned sailor, or you may pre-arrange to have a captain on board if you’re visiting a new place for the first time and want to take it easy as a local guide down the coast.

$3’700 USD is the minimum weekly price for a skippered yacht charter

Skippered Yacht Charter is often a Bareboat Charter with the inclusion of a skilled, local Skipper who assumes full accountability for the safety of the boat, navigation, sailing, and anchoring. When floating, the skippers will gladly function as your guide and tour your various secluded harbors and anchorages that are often unfamiliar to most visitors. Subject to weather circumstances, he will pay heed to your desires of where you wish to travel and try his best to accommodate them.

Even if you are a novice, you will love learning to navigate the boat on your own with the assistance of a professional. It is a frequent assumption that a skippered yacht charter would cost significantly more than a bareboat hire. However, this is only sometimes the case.

$16’000 USD is the minimum weekly price for a crewed yacht charter

Crewed charter refers to a luxury charter rented with an entire crew. Generally, the crew onboard differs from charter to charter. Depending on their size, yachts may only have a captain and hostess/cook on board, or they may have a full complement of crew members, including a captain, engineer, deck assistant, experienced chef, and others.

Moreover, the bigger and more luxurious the yacht charter is, the better amenities you will experience. Fully crewed yacht rentals are ideal for individuals looking for an extraordinary and exclusive holiday of a lifetime. Onboard the fully crewed yacht rentals, and you will have a relaxing experience. You may make yourself as comfortable as you like. The personnel will give professional, five-star services while respecting your privacy and fulfilling your expectations.

Our tips to decrease the cost of a yacht charter in the Caribbean

A private yacht charter is a great experience, yet it can cost a fortune for some. What if we share a few tips to lower the costs of your yacht charter trip? Here are some:

Charter a yacht during the Caribbean shoulder season

Scheduling a yacht charter during the shoulder or off-season could save you up to half the price, even though sailing in the high season will guarantee the best weather. Yet, if you are a budget traveler or wish to experience charter at the best rates, consider booking at the shoulder reason.

Summer is the peak period in the Mediterranean, with the coldest months being January and February. If you want to save money, you should travel in the spring or fall, when the weather is milder and the water is warmer for swimming.

Excellent sailing conditions exist throughout the year in the Caribbean. However, hurricane season extends from June to November, with the peak of storm activity being between the middle of August and the middle of September.

Before making a reservation, evaluate your off-season location’s monthly mean temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and wind patterns. Stormy weather with high rainfall will not make a trip enjoyable. Hence, plan accordingly.

Pick a cheaper Caribbean destinations

The location, timing, and yacht charter firm you choose all have a significant impact on the cost. You can try and pick an island within the whole Caribbean easy for you to reach depending on where your departure country is. In fact it is easier to arrive in Saint Thomas than to Martinique from the USA, whereas from Europe it will be easy to reach Guadeloupe from France, or Saint Vincent or the United Kingdom with regular commercial flights. Be aware, that taxi planes exist, and can help in commuting between the islands. Popular Leeward islands like the Virgin Islands, Saint Barth or Antigua can be expensive to pick for. Yacht charter during the holidays season, and during popular events such as the Heineken Regatta. So you may want to choose to sail towards the grenadines in May for example, which is a wonderful cruise to do.

Small yachts may be inexpensive, straightforward, and seaworthy. Additionally, their small size makes them cost-effective sailboats. Pocket cruisers are frequently available at a low cost. Further, they don’t require a big crew to maintain and operate. Hence, a small sailboat makes globe travel much cheaper!

6 Tips For Choosing The Best Yacht Charter Experience

C hartering a yacht is the ultimate in custom vacationing, a travel trend that gained traction during COVID and shows no signs of stopping. It offers travelers an opportunity to reach their dream destinations in comfort, style, and exclusivity. The best part: Very often, this bespoke experience can be cheaper than a cruise on a higher-end line you’d have to share with a lot of strangers!

Here are six tips for choosing the best yacht charter experience to suit your style, tastes, and holiday goals!

1. Work Within Your Budget

For most travelers, money is indeed an object, or at least a big consideration. A great charter company has a fleet of vessels at its fingertips, from smaller options such as a catamaran or sailing yacht all the way up to a super yacht with ultra amenities. Their team will work with you to assess your travel budget and offer appropriate options. Keep in mind: There’s all sorts of costs — such as fuel, docking fees, and other extras — that factor into a vacation like this. Some companies roll most of those items into a blanket price, others will calculate them separately or in an overage fee called an “advance provisioning allowance.”

Quick Example: Last year, I sailed on the super yacht Ohana in Croatia. It was part of the Goolets charter group based in Slovenia, which charges a flat weekly accommodation cost; an advance provisioning fee is assessed for food, beverages, and any other extras. The lovely ship slept up to 30 guests quite comfortably and all-in at high season (with APF included) was about $143,000 a week. Steep? Sure, at first glance. But broken down per person, the cost comes out to about $4,300 for each friend or family member. That’s food, drinks, excursions, everything. So, it turns out this kind of travel can indeed be budget-friendly and a good charter will work with you to maximize your money.

2. Location, Location, Location

When considering a private yacht vacation, location is everything. The good news is that charter companies operate all over the world, from the aforementioned Croatia to Australia, the Caribbean, Indonesia, and everywhere there’s sea in between.

If you’ve got a dream destination on your bucket list, a private yacht vacation will help get you there. Choose a charter company that has deep bench strength in the region you want to visit. They’ll have a wide range of yachts and corresponding itineraries for you to consider, ensuring the perfect experience for you and your party. Whether you crave the party scene of Greece, Italy, or the Riviera, or prefer something more far-flung and secluded such as the Seychelles or Maldives, a yacht charter experience will have you covered.

3. Consider Your Entire Party’s Needs

Another big perk of a great charter company: They will handle all the onboard logistics during your cruise, considering your entire party’s interests, must-dos, mobility levels, and even special occasions in an easy, effortless manner. They will interview you ahead of time to assess your interests, then craft an itinerary that suits everyone from start to finish. Keep in mind, they know the local area, plus have access to the best guides and onshore experiences. They will pull out all the stops to make sure everyone in your group has a terrific time.

Culture vultures to party animals will have the perfect vacation planned for them by the yacht charter. From city walking tours led by historians to exclusive access to the best clubs and other hotspots, the charter company and your yacht’s onboard staff are there to make sure it’s all picture-perfect. And if you feel like scrapping your schedule for the day and choosing to stay on the water? That’s just fine, too. The crew will roll with your wishes and honor them.

4. Food And Beverages = Big Deals On Board

No question about it, fabulous food and hand-crafted beverages are central to a terrific private yacht experience. Again, this is where that thorough pre-interview really comes into play. A charter company will consider not just preferences, but any allergies, dietary considerations, or religious restrictions to make sure the chef is prepped accordingly. Expect special snacks and other surprise touches to shine through as well; during my charter, a special birthday cake was procured and presented to a young guest after dinner on his big day.

While the yacht’s team will make sure your food tastes just as spectacular as it looks, they’ll also likely lean into the regional culinary scene with locally sourced fruits, vegetables, meats, and of course, seafood! Keep in mind your yacht’s stewards are responsible for keeping bar service running smoothly; by the second day, they knew which mid-afternoon cocktail I fancied (Croatian sparkling wine) and which wines I preferred at dinner. My glass was never empty, until I signaled I was done for the evening.

Bottom Line: Your culinary service should be seamless and impeccable during your time on board.

5. Don’t Forget The Water Toys

Water toys are a big part of a private yacht experience — you’re on the water after all and want to make sure you can get out there and enjoy it. Look for a vessel that has a robust fleet of options that align with your party’s fitness level and recreation (or adrenaline!) goals. Kayaks, rafts, and jet skis are all fairly standard; some yachts also include seabobs, massive water slides, and even inflatable water playgrounds to ensure multi-gen fun on the water. 

Pro Tip: Depending on the destination, divers will also want to inquire about scuba or snorkel equipment.

6. Find A “Your Wish Is Their Command” Crew

One of the best parts of a private yacht vacation is the bespoke service you’ll experience every step of the way; the goal is to make sure you want for nothing during your time on board. Craving a cucumber water while you’re lounging on deck? They’ll have it. Want to make sure there are snacks waiting for you after you return from kayaking? Of course! And want to take your dinner to another level? Crews take great pride in creating over-the-top table masterpieces and theme nights that will dazzle everyone in your party.

Of course, crews can and do accommodate more outrageous requests, but don’t be that Below Deck nightmare and ask them for something that’s illegal. It puts them in a terrible position where they could be held liable, and it’s just not cool.

Keep In Mind: A crew that provides excellent service deserves excellent recognition. Be kind and make sure you factor an appropriate tip into your budget. It’s very often not included in the price of the charter or advance provisioning fee.
