When the Mediterranean shuts down for winter, the world's superyacht fleet migrates west. The Caribbean and Bahamas offer warm trade winds, protected anchorages, and a social scene that rivals the Riviera.
British Virgin Islands: The Classic
The BVIs are the world's most popular charter destination by volume. Short distances between islands, calm waters, and iconic stops like The Baths, Jost Van Dyke, and Anegada make it perfect for families and first-time charterers. A 7-day BVI itinerary typically covers 8–12 islands.
St. Barths & St. Martin: Luxury & Nightlife
St. Barths is the Monaco of the Caribbean. New Year's Eve in Gustavia harbour is one of yachting's great spectacles. Combined with a St. Martin stop, this route offers designer shopping, French cuisine, and beach clubs that attract the global elite.
The Bahamas: Exumas & Beyond
The Exumas chain stretches 120 miles south of Nassau, offering some of the clearest water on Earth. Highlights include the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, and private island anchorages. The northern Bahamas (Harbour Island, Eleuthera) add pink sand beaches and bonefishing.
Planning Your Caribbean Charter
The Caribbean season runs December through April, with peak demand around Christmas, New Year, and Easter. Early booking (6–12 months ahead) is essential for the best vessels. Browse superyachts available for Caribbean charter or speak to our team about winter itineraries.
