Considering a private yacht charter Caribbean? CKIM Group and BVISail.com are here to help guide you in the right direction. We’ll cover some need-to-know items to get you started, and supply recommended private yacht charters in the Caribbean.
A private yacht charter can make all the difference when on vacation. A private yacht offers many of the same luxuries found at exclusive resorts but with enhanced mobility and unprecedented relaxation.
This means you don’t have to limit yourself to just one destination or deal with hordes of tourists. Whether lounging on your private deck or dining on a private chef-prepared meal, you’ll never feel more relaxed when cruising in style.
These private charters are customized with items you select, and yes, your dedicated personal chef prepares the meals. It will only be you and your party aboard. They afford no crowds and ultimate privacy.
Experiencing a private yacht charter in the Caribbean is impressive for many reasons. The least not being that you will indeed have your crew. Many charters will have at least two crew members: the Captain and your chef, who often act as the first mate. Larger vessels will often have 3, 4, 5, or more crew members to provide an even higher level of service.
There are several destinations for you to consider when chartering in the Caribbean. We have you covered for all of them. Of course, you have the very popular Virgin Islands, which includes the British Virgin Islands “BVI, or the U.S. Virgin Islands “USVI.”
In addition, there are charters from St Martin/St Maarten, “The Leewards,” or St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada, in the “Windwards.” In addition, there is also Belize and The Bahamas. Let’s dive into this a bit more.
The BVI and USVI are definitely among the most popular private yacht charter destinations. The BVI has many appealing reasons why it’s such a hot destination for yacht charters.
The sailing area is quite convenient as the islands form what some refer to as a “necklace of islands,” which the Sir Francis Drake channel runs through. This affords comfortable sailing conditions with many top-rated, easily accessible locations. Such as the Baths on Virgin Gorda, the world-renowned beach bars on Jost Van Dyke, countless snorkeling reefs, and more.
But we certainly won’t forget about the U.S. Virgin Islands. The USVI has several private yacht charters that embark from her ports on St Thomas. Another factor that makes the USVI very desirable is that it’s technically a U.S. territory, making travel much more straightforward for American citizens.
In addition, you will not want to miss St. John with its stunning sugar sand beaches. Moreover, much of the island is a national park with outstanding hiking opportunities.
Other than the before mentioned Virgin Islands, the Leewards has a lot to offer. Antigua is ideal for guests who wish to enjoy its 365 beaches and anchorages. The marinas around English Harbor serve as yachts’ home base. Meanwhile, St. Maarten and Saint Martin prove popular departure points for Anguilla and Saint Barthélemy.
The Windward Islands are located on the Eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea and form the southeastern boundary between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The group includes individual islands such as Barbados, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada with Carriacou, and Petit Martinique. In addition to the country of Trinidad & Tobago.
The name windward comes from these isles’ geographical location compared to its counterpart – Leeward Isles.
In most all cases of private yacht charters in the Caribbean, the itinerary is ultimately up to you. However, don’t fret, as the Captain will help with your charter broker at CKIM Group Inc.
Regarding your Captain’s assistance, he will know your charter area very well. He will know the limitations and give good suggestions depending on what type of experience you seek. Maybe you want to do a good deal of water sports, or you prefer lounging and enjoying your favorite cocktail. Whatever the case, you will ultimately decide the overall itinerary.
