Luxury Yacht Charter in the Caribbean: Best Islands & Essential Tips

December 15, 2025

The Caribbean remains one of the most iconic regions for luxury yacht charters — a place where every island offers its own mood, from French chic to untouched lagoons. Chartering a yacht here means seamless island-hopping, warm seas, reliable weather, and the freedom to explore some of the world’s most beautiful waters entirely on your own terms.

At Supreme Yachts, we design bespoke Caribbean itineraries that combine comfort, adventure and curated experiences across the region’s top destinations.

Top Caribbean Islands for a Yacht Charter

St. Barts — the French Riviera of the Caribbean

Glamorous beach clubs, refined dining, and superyacht energy. Gustavia Harbour becomes the epicentre of luxury during the festive season. Nearby anchorages like Colombier Bay offer quiet contrast to the island's vibrant lifestyle.

British Virgin Islands — calm waters, short distances

Perfect for relaxed cruising and families. Explore Virgin Gorda, snorkel The Baths, drift to Jost Van Dyke for cocktails at sunset, and anchor overnight in quiet, sheltered bays.

The Bahamas — turquoise shallows and sandbanks

The Exumas deliver postcard-perfect lagoons, sandbars and marine life. Visit Staniel Cay, Compass Cay, and secluded beaches accessible only by yacht.

Antigua — beach variety and iconic sailing culture

With 365 beaches and historic harbours, Antigua blends nature with a lively Caribbean atmosphere.

Best Time to Travel

Peak season: December–April

Shoulder season: May–June (fewer crowds, excellent conditions)

Avoid: September–early October (storm risk)

3–4 Days: St. Barts Escape

Gustavia → Colombier → Anguilla
