Why charter here

The Caribbean, by yacht

The Caribbean is where most of our clients charter first, and many never stop. Short passages mean more time at anchor and less time under way. The Bahamas give you shallow, gin-clear water and uninhabited cays; the Virgin Islands are the classic island-hop, with a new bay every afternoon; further south, the Leeward and Windward Islands mix French, British and Creole culture with rainforest, waterfalls and some of the best restaurants in the region.

Where to cruise

Cruising areas

  1. 01

    Bahamas & Exumas

    Sandbars, swimming pigs, Thunderball Grotto and hundreds of empty cays — ideal for shallow-draft yachts and water toys.

    British & US Virgin Islands

    Short hops between protected anchorages: The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke beach bars and Norman Island snorkelling.

  3. 03

    St Barths & St Martin

    The Caribbean at its most glamorous — Gustavia’s harbour, Shell Beach and French dining, with Anguilla’s beaches next door.

    Antigua’s English Harbour, the Pitons of St Lucia and the Grenadines’ Tobago Cays, best explored over two weeks.

    Wall diving, kiteboarding and some of the clearest water in the world, a short flight from Miami.
