Belize yacht charter
Cruising the coast is the best way to take it all in. The Belize Barrier Reef – part of the Mesoamerican Reef and second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef – stretches 300km and is remarkably untouched. With over 400 cays and islets to explore, the cruising grounds are vast and uncrowded. With world-class diving, descend into the Great Blue Hole, drift over coral gardens at Turneffe Atoll, or snorkel Silk Caye National Park, home to manatees, whale sharks and hundreds of tropical fish species.
On shore, explore national parks teeming with wildlife (think howler monkeys and the elusive jaguar), or hike millennia-old Mayan temples. From its rainforest-covered mountains to its coral-studded waters, Belize is one of the Caribbean’s last true frontiers – made for adventurous charterers.

Why do I need a charter broker? Why can’t I book direct?
Planning the perfect charter requires specialist knowledge, trusted contacts on board and on the ground, as well as first-hand knowledge of yachts, crews and locations, as well as legal contracts and local regulations to build an experience that suits you perfectly. Another reason to choose a broker is that sometimes there can be unforeseen issues with yachts or destinations and having an experienced broker to protect your interests and build a plan B is hugely reassuring.
Creating the unforgettable is what we do at Burgess. It’s what our knowledge, experience and passion are all about. We take all the hassle out of the planning so you can just turn up and have the best holiday ever.
I have a few allergies, how can I let the yacht know about these and also about my preferences?
What is the best time of year to charter a yacht in Belize?
The best time to charter a yacht in Belize is during the dry season, from November to May, when conditions are ideal for cruising, snorkelling, and diving. These months offer warm temperatures, low humidity, and calm seas across the Belize Barrier Reef.
March to May is particularly popular, combining excellent visibility underwater with quieter anchorages before the summer rains begin. Yacht charters are possible year-round, but September and October are typically avoided due to the peak of the hurricane season.
Where do Belize yacht charters usually start?
Most Belize yacht charters start from Belize City, home to the country’s main international airport and key marinas. From here, yachts can easily access the offshore cayes and the Belize Barrier Reef.
Some charters may also begin from Placencia, particularly for itineraries focused on southern Belize, offering direct cruising to quieter reefs, islands, and marine reserves.
Do I need a visa to charter a yacht in Belize?
Many visitors do not need a visa to enter Belize for tourism, including travellers from the UK, EU, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, who are typically granted entry on arrival for stays of up to 30 days.
Passport validity and onward travel requirements apply, and visa regulations can vary by nationality, so it’s always advisable to check the latest entry requirements before travel. Your charter broker or local agent can also assist with formalities ahead of arrival.
