About Southern Belle

Southern Belle is a 87ft (26m) motor yacht built in 2006 by Johnson Yachts, offering 4 cabins with 2 King, 1 Double and 1 Twin for up to 8 guests. With a crew of 3 onboard, she blends comfortable living spaces with a well-equipped deck for days spent between the water and the table.

 

On Board

Designed for groups who want a relaxed yet well-organised charter, Southern Belle features flybridge with helm and bar, alfresco dining area, aft deck dining settee, hydraulic swim platform, sun awning/bimini, deck shower, salon with comfortable seating, panoramic windows, satellite TV, stereo/music system, iPod/mp3 hookups, DVDs/movie system, BBQ on deck, classic interior finishes, outdoor lounges, shaded relaxation zones among her highlights. The layout encourages easy living – outdoor dining on the aft deck, lounging forward, and comfortable cabins below that guests genuinely look forward to returning to. At 12 knots, she moves efficiently between anchorages so the focus stays on enjoying each destination. The crew anticipates needs without being intrusive, adjusting everything from meal timing to daily plans around the group’s mood.

 

Water Sports & Recreation

6 water toys including a sea scooter, two SUP boards, and towable inflatables are available. The Tender 250 hp doubles as a shuttle to shore and a platform for exploring nearby coves, reefs, and beaches inaccessible to the main yacht. The crew sets everything up each morning based on the day’s plan – whether that’s a high-energy watersports session or a quiet snorkeling stop.

 

Charter Season in Caribbean

Southern Belle charters across Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada, British Virgin Islands, USVI, St Lucia, Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, repositioning seasonally to offer the best conditions year-round. The ideal months for chartering are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec. Your captain builds a daily route around weather, group energy, and the best the area has to offer – every itinerary flexible, tailored, and different from the last.
