BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Experience the British Virgin Islands by private yacht, where sun-drenched anchorages, turquoise waters, and world-class sailing conditions redefine Caribbean luxury.
Private yacht charters in the Caribbean reveal more than paradise beaches. From volcanic islands to colonial harbours, each voyage invites you to explore a diverse region through a lens of privacy, freedom, and comfort. The Caribbean is best experienced at sea, where curated itineraries unfold from one remarkable island to the next.
A charter across the Caribbean brings together sophistication and spontaneity. Every island introduces something distinct, whether French elegance in St. Barts or wild beauty in St. Lucia. With a crewed yacht, the experience feels seamless: hidden coves become your private sanctuary, beach bars turn into impromptu evenings, and mornings begin wherever the horizon leads. You’re not just visiting the Caribbean, you’re inhabiting its rhythm.
The Bahamas is a tapestry of turquoise waters and more than 700 islands, making it one of the world’s most versatile yachting destinations. Nassau and Paradise Island combine luxury marinas with lively nightlife, while the Exumas offer secluded anchorages such as Big Major Cay, where the famous swimming pigs. Eleuthera’s pink sand beaches and Harbour Island’s colonial charm provide a contrasting elegance, all within close cruising distance.

With its cosmopolitan energy and French-Caribbean identity, Saint Barthélemy, also known as St. Barts, is a destination for refined travellers. Gustavia’s harbour hosts some of the world’s most notable yachts, while Colombier Beach offers a quiet anchorage reached only by boat or foot. The island comes alive in winter, particularly around New Year’s, when its exclusivity draws a global yachting crowd.
The BVI archipelago offers relaxed cruising with consistent winds and short island hops. Sail to Virgin Gorda’s Baths, where granite boulders frame turquoise pools, or anchor off Norman Island’s underwater caves. White Bay on Jost Van Dyke is known for its powdery beach and iconic beach bars.
Defined by the towering Pitons and rainforest-covered slopes, St. Lucia blends tropical drama with anchored calm. Marigot Bay offers safe harbour and understated elegance, while inland excursions to sulfur springs or botanical gardens provide a change of pace.
This collection of islands remains blissfully undeveloped. Mustique is a private haven with a discreet social scene, while Tobago Cays is ideal for snorkelling in vibrant reefs protected by horseshoe-shaped atolls. Bequia and Canouan provide local charm and excellent sailing conditions.
Antigua’s rich maritime history is best showcased at Nelson’s Dockyard, which remains in operation to this day. With a beach for every day of the year, the island rarely feels crowded. Barbuda offers untouched coastlines and a notable frigatebird sanctuary.
A cultural anchor within the region, the Dominican Republic offers a different dimension. Samana Bay becomes a marine theatre during humpback whale season, while towns like Altos de Chavón deliver old-world architecture and artisan shops.
The Caribbean remains one of the world’s premier winter yacht-charter destinations. Its warm tropical climate and steady trade winds create predictable sailing conditions from late autumn through spring.
The Caribbean’s dry season from December through April offers the calmest seas, clearest skies, and busiest social calendars. Hurricane season (roughly June–November) brings higher humidity, more rain, and fewer yachts, but also quieter anchorages and lush scenery for those willing to chance the weather.
Each island group has its own rhythm, from St. Barts’ social season to the Grenadines’ quieter anchorages, making it easy to combine islands for the perfect itinerary. Here is a glance at some of the famous Caribbean yacht charter destinations and their seasonality and insights:
