Yacht Charter in St Barths | Luxury Yacht Rentals

When you're done living the life in the capital of Gustavia, done shopping for designer clothes and jewelry, there's only one thing left for you to do in St. Barths, and that's to go on a yacht charter hopping from one beach to another or heading to the nearby Leeward Islands that dot this region of the Caribbean. To charter a yacht in St. Barths is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. You get to immerse yourself in the beauty of the beautiful waters and enjoy a luxurious way to marvel at all the natural beauty that surrounds.

Gustavia's yacht-filled harbor shows you that the island is a sailing favorite for yachting enthusiasts. Here, you can find all kinds of boats, from monohulls to sailing catamarans, to superyachts that provide you with everything you need for an indulgent holiday. A 100-foot motor yacht can cost an average of $9,000 for a full day's charter, while a 47-foot sailing catamaran can cost about $1,500 from 9 am to 5 pm. A superyacht, with a length of 268-feet, can cost around $890,000 for a full week's charter.

St. Barths offers beautiful weather almost all year-round, except for hurricane season that begins in July and ends in early November. Therefore, the months of December to March is the ideal yachting season in St. Barths, when the skies are blue and the sun is shining all day, offering the most beautiful weather to sail around the waters and laying around the gorgeous white-sand beaches.

There are 22 beaches in St. Barths, with 15 of them accessible for swimming. All beaches are open to the public, which means you've got 22 reasons to hop on a yacht charter for a day exploring these wonders. However, because you only have about 7 to 8 hours of daytime, a full day yacht charter can only get you to a few locations on the island. One of these is the Colombier beach, which is only accessible by boat or a 30-minute hike. Because of its inaccessibility, it is often peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect spot for some private sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, and a picnic on the beach. After lunch, head over to the beach of Saline, or to Shell Beach, or to Anse du Gouverneur. A day of swimming, cruising, and snorkeling is best finished with a sunset cruise as you make your way back to Gustavia Harbor.

There are plenty of 5-star resorts on the island, but to truly experience a Caribbean yacht charter, an overnight adventure spent at one of its bays is a definite must. You can start your overnight yacht charter with a visit to the famous St. Barths beaches, then followed by a cruise to the small, protected, private island 45 minutes away, which is Fourche. You can anchor on the bay for the night, then come morning, head to Scrub Island in Anguilla, which is a deserted white-sand island. Snorkel, swim, and cruise around the islands, before making your bay to St. Barths.

A yacht has everything you need to have a luxury vacation. It has beautiful cabins, a wide deck where you can dine and lounge around as you cruise through the calm and beautiful waters of St. Barths, and of course, the VIP treatment from the staff and crew. This means that a week-long yacht charter is truly a luxurious experience you shouldn't miss. When you're in St. Barths, you have the beaches and the nearby islands as your getaway, providing you with one unique setting to another, each and every day. Here is a sample itinerary of a one-week liveaboard on board a luxury yacht charter:

Day 1: Gustavia Harbor

Cruise the harbor and drop anchor at the shipwreck of the motor yacht "Nonstop," which sank in a storm and is now home to soft corals and fishes. Cruise along the coast and enjoy drinks on the deck, before making your way to several beaches around the island. Head to Colombier, where you will safely moor the yacht for the night.

Day 2: Colombier

Enjoy the Colombier beach for a quiet day of relaxing, swimming, and snorkeling. Then head your way to the Ile de la Fourche, where you will anchor for the night.

Day 3: Ile de la Fourche

The cactus-covered hills of this secluded island are a unique ambiance from the chic boutiques and lavish lifestyle in Gustavia. Climb one of the island's five peaks, where you are rewarded with panoramic views of the Leeward Islands. If you're lucky and happen to be there during Spring, you can also spot humpback whales on the water. Have lunch on the boat, then get back to the beach, where you can snorkel or even spot sea turtles.

Day 4: Prickly Pear Cays and Seal Island Reefs

These spots are ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving, and if you don't fancy getting underwater, you can explore the beaches or simply lounge on the deck for drinks and snacks.

Day 5: Anguilla

Visit the island of Anguilla with its charming villages and serene harbor. Drop anchor at Road Town, where you can see master craftsmen making boats the traditional way. You can also visit Flat Cap Point, where you can snorkel under the cliffs of this marine sanctuary.

Day 6: Tintamarre

This island is just off St. Maarten's tip, and it's a secluded, uninhabited island. This means you can have the beach all to yourself, where you can snorkel to your heart's content and spend a lazy afternoon reading a book on a hammock.

Day 7: Back to St. Barths

We recommend spending a few hours on Tintamarre and visiting Marigot Bay, which is reminiscent of old south of France town, with its cafes and bistros. Buy some freshly baked bread and pastries, wine, cheese, or French perfume. Hop back on board and sail away back to St. Barths.

Being home to world-class resorts, high-end shopping, and some of the Caribbean's best restaurants, it's no wonder a wedding yacht charter on the island will make your wedding dreams come true. Imagine a wedding weekend with your closest and friends and family, living the life, and experiencing a ceremony and party right on the deck, with the beautiful blue horizon and crystal clear waters as your perfect backdrop. Once your wedding is done and everyone has gotten off the yacht, head to a private, secluded beach or another island, to enjoy the beginning of the rest of your life together.

St. Barths is the most elite and most expensive yacht charter destination in the Caribbean. It is home to superyachts, luxury yachts, and yacht holiday options that give you the ultimate taste of what it's like to live the high life. From the minute you step into the marina, you are greeted with 5-star services, and once you step on the yacht, you will understand why they call it "luxury yacht charters." From service to details to the food, drinks, and amenities, you are treated like royalty on a luxury yacht charter in St. Barths.

There are very few places in the world that perfectly merge tropical atmosphere with high-end living. St. Barths perfectly epitomizes that, and to experience it all, a yacht charter is definitely the best way to go.
