It the thought of winter is already sending chills down your spine then it’s time to plan your escape to warmer climes and get some inspiration for a Caribbean & Bahamas luxury yacht charter.
Titania – Pool deck lifestyle
The ultimate holiday and the best way to spend time with family and friends, there is a range of vessels to suit everyone’s interests and preferences, from broad-beamed and stable catamarans to massive amenities packed motor yachts and speedy open yachts.
The early birds
There are superyachts that can’t wait to start the winter season in the Caribbean & Bahamas and have made it to these exotic islands while other luxury yachts are still trying to catch the last of the summer sun in the Mediterranean. As such, this is the perfect time to get ahead of the crowds and have a late summer holiday or prepare for Thanksgiving in islands bursting with flavourful delights and visual wonders: Grenada is known as the island of spice and along with its fresh fruits and vegetables your group could have a holiday feast unlike any other.
Cruise through the US Virgin Islands for the stark contrasts between bustling towns filled with luxury shops and casinos, and the silent shores of the Buck Island National Wildlife Refuge or Flanagan Island. Cross over to the British Virgin Islands and join the party in the sandy coves of Jost Van Dyke, and take time to appreciate the wondrous – and popular – HMS RHONE wreck dive site.

This popular 73m/239.6ft motor yacht features an on board Jacuzzi, a sauna in the beach club that can be converted into a night club, a massage room and beauty salon and a lift (elevator) so that all guests can access every deck with ease.
