Where can I charter a yacht in the Caribbean?
Published 09 novembre 2020
Exotic cuisine, cool reggae beats and the feel of soft sand between your toes makes a private yacht charter in the Caribbean an experience to remember. The winter season begins in December with high season kicking off around Christmas and running through to March, but any time aboard a yacht in Caribbean waters is the ultimate holiday experience.
Antigua
Set sail from Jolly Harbour Marina, a vibrant yachting hub on Antigua's sheltered west coast. Explore thriving coral reefs and dramatic underwater landscapes while diving in Cades Reef or the Pillars of Hercules, while for those who love being out on the open ocean, deep-sea fishing offers the chance to reel in trophy catches like marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi.
