What do you recommend about boat chartering in the Caribbean?
Chartering a boat in the Caribbean - including The Bahamas - is one of the most rewarding sailing experiences you can have. We recommend it for its warm climate, steady trade winds, short sailing distances, and abundance of beautiful anchorages. It’s ideal for both first-time charterers and seasoned sailors.
We suggest starting with well-established areas like the British Virgin Islands or the Grenadines—great infrastructure, easy navigation, and plenty of options for provisioning and exploring ashore. For more off-the-beaten-path adventure, consider places like Antigua, Guadeloupe, or Grenada.
Whether you choose a bareboat or a fully crewed yacht, we’ll help you plan an itinerary that balances great sailing with time to relax, snorkel, explore local culture, and enjoy the region’s fantastic cuisine. We work with the best Caribbean operators, so you’ll be in trusted hands.
Let us know your sailing experience, group size, and holiday style, and we’ll recommend the best route and boat for you.
