Caribbean Islands - discover the best by yacht.

From the Windwards to the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean has no shortage of islands perfect for hopping during a superyacht charter, but which ones to choose? From the volcanic Windward Islands of St Lucia and Grenada to the barefoot chic St Barth and Antigua in the Leeward archipelago and the timeless paradise of the British Virgin Islands, the Caribbean offers an infinite variety of beautiful cruising options.

Awakening the senses with its warmth, colour and easy charm, St Lucia is the ideal place to begin or end a charter through the Windward Islands. One of the Caribbean’s most naturally beautiful islands, it is also home to idyllic resorts.

Thanks to its volcanic topography, St Lucia has great appeal for divers, hikers and nature lovers. From the rugged mountain terrain of the south to the flatter north, the island has something for everyone to enjoy while on a yacht charter. Head to the bustling island’s capital of Castries for duty free shopping, berth in the sheltered hurricane hole at Marigot Bay and head ashore to the popular watering hole, Hurricane Hole at the Marigot Bay Resort and Marina. Discover the island’s coastline as you cruise along the southwest and jump in and snorkel, head out for some deep-sea fishing, or try your hand at kayaking and windsurfing.

The southern most of the Windward Islands, Grenada has always been one of the more sophisticated Caribbean islands thanks to its abundant production of spices at a time when they were valuable. The island’s interior remains unchanged – a landscape of mountains and forest, with a spice factory, rum distillery and nutmeg and chocolate factories worth visiting.

One of the better known of the Caribbean islands, Antigua is a wonderful place for fun, socialising and complete relaxation. Located at the southern part of the Leeward chain, the island is the ideal place to embark or disembark on a superyacht charter around the enticing islands of the archipelago.

When it comes to cruising in the Leeward Islands, St Barth is one of the best-known and loved islands. Located right at the centre of the archipelago, the island has a distinctly French flavour – the Caribbean’s take on the Côte d’Azur.

Reclining to the east of the British Virgin Island archipelago, Virgin Gorda is among the larger islands of the chain. With beautiful beaches, shallow reefs and world-famous resorts, there is plenty to do while cruising the island during a superyacht charter.

Lying at the centre of the British Virgin Islands most popular cruising area around the Sir Francis Drake Passage, Peter Island is pure barefoot luxury. With a 1,800-acre resort, this is the place to head for relaxation, with five beaches to choose from and proximity to some fabulous dive sites.

Sprinkled between the islands of St Lucia and Grenada are a trail of sandbars, coral reefs and islets known as the Grenadines. Offering an abundance of natural beauty, dive sites and some of the best fishing grounds in the world, they are the perfect Caribbean idyll for a superyacht charter.

The Grenadines consists of 32 islands and cays strung out over 60 miles of stunning Caribbean sea. Each is just a short hop from the next and they are perfect for first time charterers or families with young children.
