Where to go for a 5-day yacht charter

Charter grounds whose season suits these dates. Ordered by how well the window fits, not by how many yachts we hold there.

Why these charter grounds suit the dates

Bahamas

Winter is prime time – the Exumas' sandbars and swimming pigs in settled trade-wind weather. Hurricane season (June–November) sits outside the charter calendar.

British Virgin Islands

Steady 15–20 knot trade winds and line-of-sight island hops make the BVI the world's most forgiving blue-water playground.

St Barths

The Caribbean's most glamorous harbour – New Year's Eve in Gustavia is the yachting world's winter rendezvous, booked many months ahead.

Barbados

The easternmost of the Windwards greets the Atlantic head-on – surf-washed east coasts, calm platinum west-coast anchorages and rum heritage ashore.

Antigua and Barbuda

A bay for every day of the year and the Caribbean's premier regatta calendar – Antigua Sailing Week closes the season each spring.

Anguilla

Powder-white sands and glassy leeward anchorages – Anguilla pairs Caribbean trade-wind sailing with some of the region's finest beach dining.
