Sailing Around Windward and Leeward Islands of the Caribbean

The  Caribbean covers a huge region of widely spread islands 2,000 miles (3,218 km) long.

The larger ones have become sovereign countries with broad range of amenities for sailors, while the smaller ones still preserve its untouched rural charm and tranquility.

From the western tip of Cuba to the Leewards in the east, then south to the top of South America and along Venezuela’s north coast – this chain of islands has created a hook-like shape around the Caribbean Sea. Location like this is always an enticing bait for sailing - perfect climate and  array of diverse cultures, customs, cuisines and experiences, water sports and an unlimited number of other attractions.

Planning sailing vacations in Caribbean, you may wish to consider these groupings of the islands as points of your itinerary, as they contain many popular cruising areas and harbor stops. There is no doubt that in the scope of Caribbean bareboat or skippered yacht charters  both groups have their charms and countless reasons to explore, which definitely makes it a great sailing destination.

Caribbean yacht rentals

12 Knots offers eleven yacht charter bases in the Caribbean region, each with unique individual character, providing sailing experience for everyone, from a novice to an experienced sailor. This region comprises more than 700 hundred islands and islets, so you can choose Caribbean sailing vacations with shot and easy hops or more challenging passages.

Taking Caribbean sailing vacations, you will find warm and steady trade winds in picturesque surroundings; discover plenty of great bars and authentic cuisine!

It’s up to you, choosing between the Leeward Caribbean islands with short and easy hops with line-of-sight sailing and the Windward with more challenging open water passages. Wherever you go, you will return home relaxed, refreshed and ready to start planning your next Caribbean sailing adventure.

The Windward islands

Windward Islands located at the southern end of the Caribbean island chain and stretch for over 300 miles to the south-eastern end of the Caribbean Sea. The Windward Islands are simply called so due to their position as they are exposed to the northeast trade winds. For experienced sailors, it can be right choice to sail among the four main islands: Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenada. They lay far apart each other allowing open ocean sailing and while steady easterly trade winds, make passages north or south easy. With constant 12 to 25 knots wind, Caribbean sailing is among best in the world. Night anchorages in peaceful and protected areas give sailors freedom to explore and soak up British and French island culture. The islands of St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenada  were British colonies until they gained independence during the 1970s. Martinique is still an overseas department of France.

The climate of the Windward Islands is definitely a marine one.

When tropical heat reaches its peak, steady trade winds and daily sea breezes come to rescue.

Typically, dry and wet seasons go hand in hand here. Although the priority of more rainfalls is given to the eastern side of the islands mainly due to the prevailing north-east trade winds there.

The islands east of Puerto Rico were called “Windward Islands” by the Spanish, while the islands south of Puerto Rico were named as “Leewards “. And Dominica positions itself right on the border line between the Windward and the Leeward Islands.

Long time ago some of the islands used to be French colonies, subsequently gained its name as The French Antilles.

The population of the Windward Islands is mostly of African origin, with some exceptions of Chinese and Caucasians. The present day Windward Islands will welcome tourists with upscale resorts, stunning beaches and pleasant sunny weather.

After cruising through the Windward Islands, you may wish to set sails to the Leeward Islands.

The Leeward islands

The Leeward islands are located on the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea and form the northeastern boundary between Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean, extending from Puerto Rico to the Windward Islands, forming part of the Lesser Antilles chain.

Although 700 miles long stretch of these magnificent isles mostly constitute the whole body of the Leewards, it provides the abundance of enjoyment: quaint fishing spots, ancient ruins and delicious authentic cuisine.

Blessed with balmy temperatures all around the year, The Leeward Islands are called leeward because they're away from the wind or downwind (in the "lee"). Leeward group of Caribbean islands includes: the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Saint Martin, Saint-Barthelemy, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Barbuda, Antiqua, Redonda, Montserrat and Guadeloupe.

One of two "sister islands", St Kitts and Nevis, provides a brilliant Caribbean experience, from their picture-perfect beaches and volcanic mountains to friendly locals and layers of history to explore. For the water sport lovers, there are numerous aquatic activities that include fishing, diving, windsurfing and surfing.

St.Kitts and Nevis

Switch from sailing to inland for a change and St.Kitts and Nevis will deliver the most exceptional hiking in the Caribbean. The dormant volcano of Mount Liamuiga is considered to be the toughest to climb. And with the experienced guide you may even try to descend in its crater!

The unspoiled landscape of dry littoral forest and rainforest will present memorable show of fauna and flora. Many plants are of culinary and medical use, and some even used in black magic, as informative guides would point out its botanical value.

The wild life-lovers will not be disappointed with variety of different types of exotic animals.

Actually, the Great Salt Pond has become famous for its largest habitat of green velvet monkeys.

St. Kitts and Nevis will keep you captivated with majestic view of huge conical shells, remains of old sugar mills, along with some other plantation ruins, built in the 18 th century.

Back to water activities, and tourists will be pleased with what these two island can offer: deep-water fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and more.

Then in order to satisfy your growing appetite visit two popular restaurants: Carambola and the Shipwreck Bar and Grill to enjoy its delicious local meals.

A yacht charter in the Caribbean Leeward Islands offers sailors an unrivalled remarkable experience. Enjoy tropical landscapes, pristine palm-lined beaches and azure waters — all the joys of marine life.

Sailing over the Leeward Islands may have all the pleasures to offer: the Tropical rainforests, glittering coral reefs, and luxury sand beaches. That’s probably why most of the known tourist resorts on these islands play a critical role in their economy, as do banking and fishing. Many of them also rely on their status as a tax haven to promote offshore financial services as a source of government revenue. But there is much more to discover in the Leeward Islands. These Caribbean islands provide great variety of yachts for charter and pleasant sailing vacations. Most of the Leeward Islands are located close to each other with moderate winds from 10 to 15 knots and rather low wavers. BVI is the most popular area for Caribbean charters either bareboat or luxury crewed vacations. This is the right place for the novice sailor’s easy passages in line-of-sight sailing.

The climate of the Caribbean Leeward Islands can be described as tropical, but much drier than in Windward Islands. Though the climate does vary from island to island and can even be different in different parts of the same island. Rainfall increases with elevation and in more southerly latitudes. In some cases trade winds look like refreshing tonic to the tropical heat. There is minor seasonal variation, although the second half of the year, the wet season, is slightly warmer and rainier. The best time for sailing in the Caribbean may be the first half of the year. At this time the temperatures usually range between 81°F (27°C) and 95°F(35°C). Annual rainfall averages about 40 to 50 inches (1016 to 1270 mm). Keep in mind, that nearly every island had been severely damaged by hurricane activity in its recent history.

English is the most widespread language all around the islands, plus many of the people speak French and Dutch on the St Martin Island. Both English-based and French-based Creole are also spoken. The prevailing currency is The East Caribbean dollar. But St Martin is odd man out again, circulating the Netherlands Antilles guilder in the Dutch area and the Euro in the French region. Nevertheless, the US dollar is widely accepted throughout the islands.

If you eager to take part in sporting activities, then you may be pleased to know that cricket is widely played and followed in the former British territories. Besides, as in the rest of the Caribbean, music is also always a big part of local life. Enjoy the magical sounds of calypso, soca, steelpan, reggae, salsa and jazz — all of the mentioned has their adherents.

During your Caribbean yacht charter, you may wish to participate in some major holiday celebrations, including the St Kitts Christmas, New Year carnaval, the annual music festival, as well as Anguilla’s Emancipation Day and Culturama festival on August 1st.

The culture of the Leeward Islands is varied by different influences, including French, Dutch and West Indian. Due to that sailing around the Leeward Islands provides a wonderful choice of cuisine and some great restaurants to satisfy your affection for the finest dishes. By the way, the island of Anguilla offers true gastronomic feasts. When sailing in the Caribbean Leeward Islands, be sure to try freshly caught lobsters with a glass of wine.

Top charter company. Very friendly and customer oriented

Olivier was great! From being flexible on arrival time to making sure we got back on time, everything went flawlessly. He taught us how to work the sails and how to drive the boat. We took him up on the offer to provide beverages, and that was a great addition. I speak a little French and Olivier speaks a little English, so communication wasn't an issue. What a great way to spend the day in Gaudeloupe, thanks Olivier!

The community's advice on the destination

Charter a sailboat in the caribbean with or without a skipper with samboat.

The Caribbean is a region in the Americas. It has more than fifty islands that belong to different countries such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Grenada, etc. The Caribbean is a highly visited place for its beauty and great climate. The best time to visit the Caribbean is from December to May, during these months the intensity of the heat decreases and the sun's rays are not as strong. However, it is the high season, so the prices increase. We advise you to plan well your visit to anticipate your expenses.

Many travellers who have visited the Caribbean say that there is no better way to discover its wonders than onboard a boat. Charter a sailboat to explore the islands of the region or rent a catamaran in the Caribbean to relax in the Sea. Whichever option you choose, you will enjoy an unforgettable experience.

Caribbean Yacht Booking Guide:

Caribbean Yacht Charters: At a Glance

Are the bahamas and the caribbean the same thing, popular destinations for yacht rentals in the caribbean, popular sub-regions in the caribbean, highlights of a caribbean yacht charter, who goes on a caribbean yacht charter, history and culture, types of yacht charters in the caribbean, how much does it cost to charter a yacht in the caribbean, when is the best time for caribbean yacht charters, where should i begin my caribbean yacht charter, popular marinas and moorings in the caribbean, how to book your yacht charter in the caribbean.

The Caribbean Sea comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays, and is divided into three island arcs: that of the Greater Antilles in the north, the Lesser Antilles in the south, and the Leeward Antilles to the east.

• Ideal winter destination Boasting all-year-round pleasant weather, its powdery sand beaches and alluringly clear waters make it an especially popular choice for winter yacht charters.
• Easy-to-reach The Caribbean is well-connected to the US, with a high number of international airports flying directly into the region.
• Secluded anchorages With more than 7,000 islands and only a small percentage being inhabited, the world is your oyster when it comes to finding serenely beautiful anchorages.
• Snorkeling and diving paradise The Caribbean is home to some of the world's most impressive snorkeling and diving sites, meaning plenty of exciting underwater adventures where your eyes will be wide with wonder.
• Excellent superyacht marinas The Caribbean has numerous well-provisioned superyacht marinas to take your pick from, many of which have fantastic dining and shopping opportunities.

While the Bahamas is technically part of the Caribbean region, it is an island nation in its own right, forming part of the Lucayan Archipelago in the Atlantic. That said, the Caribbean is a vast area occupied by thousands of islands, coral reefs and islets, of which the Bahamas forms a part, along with strong political and cultural ties that have created a natural bond with its Caribbean neighbour. 

Practically speaking, however, if you are interested in cruising  the Bahamas  in conjunction with your Caribbean yacht charter, it is highly unlikely you'll be able to manage the distance during a typical 7-day charter, especially for itineraries that incorporate East Caribbean destinations such as Antigua and Saint Martin. You will need to decide which destination you prefer to spend your time in, or extend your charter vacation to incorporate both. 

To find out more about chartering in the region, check out our in-depth Bahamas destination guide for more information.

The most popular destinations for renting a yacht in the Caribbean are those located in the Lesser Antilles region, primarily the island groups of the Leeward Islands.  and the  Windward Islands .

For Leeward Island yacht rentals , Antigua, the Virgin Islands, St Martin, St Barts and St Kitts and Nevis garner the most attention, thanks to not only their splendid tropical landscapes but also their extremely well-provisioned superyacht marinas, fine dining options, impossibly hip bars and medley of designer boutiques bound to keep guests entertained from dawn till dusk.

Scattered like pearls along the aquamarine seas, you'll find sun-drenched Martinique, gorgeous Grenada and the ultra-secluded St Vincent and the Grenadines  are the top picks for slow-paced  Windward Island yacht charters .

Across all Caribbean destinations, keen divers and snorkelers will be in for a subaquatic treat, and you'll find a wide range of designer boutiques and ultra-high-end resorts peppered across the isles wherever you go.

The Caribbean is a mesmerizing melting pot of cultures and influences, rooted in its rich heritage and undeniably shaped by its history of colonization and waves of immigration. Each island group is highly diverse in terms of its language, music, customs, architecture and cuisine, but it's mainly English, Dutch, French or Spanish colonial influences that are keenly felt. While the mix of languages spoken will differ between island groups, English is widely spoken.

Caribbean cuisine sees influences from Africa, Europe, Latin America and Spain, Meat, seafood, coconut, potatoes, beans and tomatoes tend to feature heavily in local dishes.

Locals are friendly and regularly celebrate their culture, with music, food and wildly colorful festivals held throughout the year.

A luxury yacht rental vacation in the Caribbean is, without doubt, the most sublime way to experience this region, giving you exclusive access to heavenly anchorages that are otherwise impossible to reach or are far from the typical tourist trail.

Guests have boundless fleet options when it comes to a crewed Caribbean charter. If you don't know whether to go for a motor yacht, sailing yacht or catamaran to cruise Caribbean waters, we've laid out the main points worth considering.

Motor Yacht Charters in the Caribbean

A  luxury motor yacht charter  in the Caribbean is a seven-star way of uncovering the epic beauty of the Caribbean in total privacy. 

For regions with minimal water depth the ideal choice is a motor yacht with low draft, perfect for accessing shallow lagoons and secluded bays.

For those who have their heart set on a superyacht without a shallow draft, dropping anchor further out into deeper waters and then getting a tender ride ashore, so you can get up close and personal to exquisite island reefs and blue lagoons, is the preferred option.

Sailing Yacht Charters in the Caribbean

Chartering a sailing yacht in the Caribbean is ideal for guests looking for a slower pace to fully lap up the Caribbean rays with more outdoor deck space, and add a little old-school charm to their cruising adventure.

Even better, the majority of sailing charter yachts come equipped with a retractable keel, meaning reaching turquoise shallows is a breeze. But, if you are keen to charter a larger sailing yacht, keep in mind that some may still find their draft too deep for some areas, even with the keel up. 

Catamaran Charters in the Caribbean

Luxury catamaran charters are a firm guest favourite for those embarking on Caribbean vacation, especially in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Thanks to their shallow draft, catamarans give you the ability to get close to cays and islets guests can savor the thrilling feeling of being able to jump off-board at almost any point. 

The charter cost of a motor yacht, sailing yacht or luxury catamaran rental in the Caribbean will vary according to the vessel's size, age, type, number of crew, as well as the location and duration of the vacation as well as the season it takes place. 

With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in the Caribbean below;

• For motor yacht rentals in the Caribbean, prices can range from $39,167 to $1.4m per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing yacht rentals in the Caribbean, prices can go from $29,855 to $276,495 weekly, plus expenses

The best time for luxury yacht charters in the Caribbean is between November and March, when guests can expect clement weather and vividly blue cloudless skies.

Another aspect to keep in mind is that this is also the time when you will have the largest selection of yachts to choose from, as most charter yachts descend on the Caribbean around November after the Mediterranean season has ended and any yacht maintenance has been carried out, before returning back to the Mediterranean in March/April.

The most popular starting point for a Caribbean yacht rental is usually in either Saint Martin/Sint Maarten or  Antigua,  both of which have international airports.

It is certainly possible to begin your charter in other Caribbean destinations, providing this has been agreed with the Owner and charter broker .

Where to End a Caribbean Yacht Charter

For most private Caribbean yacht charters, there isn't one definitive place where to disembark given the vastness of the region. However, what is likely is that you will finish your yacht rental vacation in the same location that you started. For example, the majority of  British Virgin Island yacht charters will begin and end in St Thomas, while for Antigua yacht charters , it'll be the iconic English Harbour.

sample itineraries

The Caribbean offers some of the most spellbinding berthing spots in the world. These tropical, barefoot hotspots are of the finest calibre, surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery, and often feature award-winning restaurants, hip boutiques, beach bars and more.

But which marinas are the best? Below are some charter favorites:

• Falmouth Harbour, Antigua: impressive marina facilities and scenery, catering to yachts up to 100m.
• Marina Fort Louis, Saint Martin: offers 150 berths for yachts up to 79m.
• Crown Bay in St Thomas (USVI): full-serviced marina with 99 slips, including 16 berths for superyachts up to 60m
• Port Louis Marina, Grenada: idyllically located, with 227 moorings for yachts up to 91m.
• Port de Gustavia, Saint Barts: widely regarded as one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world, accommodating up to 152 yachts up to 152m.
• Puerto Del Rey, Puerto Rico : conveniently located as a jumping off point for yacht charters incorporating the Virgin Islands and Lesser Antilles, this marina has plentiful wet slips, including capacity for yachts up to 200ft (60m) LOA.

We strongly advise booking through a qualified  yacht charter broker at least three months in advance for all Caribbean yacht charters. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.

This also ensures your yacht broker has enough time to craft a carefully curated itinerary and secure an overnight berth in the most popular Caribbean marinas.

Caribbean Yacht Charter Q&A

The best time to visit the Caribbean is generally December to April, when it's a little cooler and less humid. But the best month to visit can differ depending on the island, budget and interests you have. For example, some yacht charter guests may decide to visit May to June and late November, when weather is still fantastic but there are fewer crowds.

We advise booking your Caribbean yacht rental at least three months in advance to ensure you get the yacht you desire. The longer you leave it, the fewer choices you will have to rent in the Caribbean.

For your Caribbean superyacht charter, you will need to provide a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee as a deposit. This is payable once the contract has been signed.

When booking a Caribbean yacht rental, do keep in mind the costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). The APA is usually paid in advance of the charter and is commonly set at 30% of the charter fee. This allowance covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food and drinks, as well as any special requests. 

Please consult your yacht charter broker for any other costs you may need to factor in for your yacht charter in the Caribbean.

Taxes and Interest, Languages - Yacht Charters and Yacht Rentals in the Caribbean

The best bet for island hopping in the Caribbean is going among the territories of the American, British and Spanish Virgin Islands, which are sometimes just a few miles away from each other, and even sometimes visible from another. The close to each other “Windward Islands” at the very eastern part of the Caribbean, which are mostly governed by the supranational federation of states called the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, all of which use the same currency), are also known worldwide for their magnificent sailing possibilities. 

Fat fish and fast boats create happiness under, in, and on the water

In these waters, time is spent most felicitously when fishing, diving, swimming or surfing. The water in the Caribbean simultaneously provides nourishment, interest, sports and activities, and a comfortable cooling element when the heat gets to be too much. There are, for example, promising coastal areas and coral reefs off of the island Tobago, whose waters are so filled with life due to the warm Gulfstream and cool Atlantic current create the perfect conditions for the large fish varieties tarpon, bonefish, barracuda, marlin, mackerel, tuna, and swordfish. Los Roques, a 40-island and 200-sandbank Venezuelan archipelago north of Caracas, is home not only those fish varieties, but also duck fish, trumpet fish, crayfish, and sea urchins. However, the entire Caribbean Sea’s wealth of big fish such as sharks, marlin, sailfish, swordfish and tuna makes it a unique place for “Big Game Fishing”. An especially popular method of fishing is “chunking” or “chumming”, in which live bait, such as mackerel, is used to attract larger fish species. Guided deep-sea fishing charters with motorboats are offered from almost any island, but the Bahamas (Find a sailing route suggestion for Bahams here), Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic are particularly known for this activity. Divers have an equally large underwater playground with the Caribbean under their fins. In the Lesser Antilles and the so-called “special community” of the Netherlands, the waters around the 290 square kilometer island Bonaire, off the coast of Venezuela, have been known as a diving Mecca par excellence since the 1970s. The local Bonaire Marine Park has been a nature reserve since 1997, and its clear waters and healthy reefs attract 50,000 divers per year to the dive sites Angel City, 1000 Steps, and the Wreck of the Hilma Hooker. Also recommended for underwater excursions are the islands Grenada - Sailing route suggestion for Grenada , Sint Maarten, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Aruba, Curaçao, the Cuban Isla de la Juventud and Cayo Largo, and the Samaná Peninsula on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic.

Sailboat Rental in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is an idyllic island destination with a vibrant and authentic culture. With a warm tropical climate through winter, steady sailing winds and a range of some 7,000+ outstanding islands to hop between, you can choose everything from uninhabited and remote outcrops to bustling port towns with a swinging nightlife for your sailboat rental in the Caribbean. Although there's plenty of smooth and easy sailing to be had in the Caribbean, more adventurous opportunities await in areas like St. Martin, with open-water stretches and remote anchorages. You can choose from a wide variety of Caribbean sailboat rentals at good prices for your next sailing adventure.

A sailing paradise, paired with rich cultures, cuisines and traditions, the Caribbean is full of adventures and beautiful stretches of coastline where you can sail with your friends and family. No matter where you go, we can guarantee you a holiday full of adventure, when you go sailing in the Caribbean. Sail the British Virgin Islands and anchor in idyllic bays where you can stop for lunch or a cocktail on the beach. Snorkel with the tropical fish and turtles in the Bahamas and even encounter a swimming pig, or two! (Yes! We’re not joking!) Let yourself go as you sail with the wind in your hair and admire a constant panoramic view of breathtaking nature at its best. Rent a sailboat in the Caribbean!

How to Rent a Sailboat in the Caribbean

Sailboat rental in the Caribbean is easy and will only take a few minutes. Many visitors will choose to charter a sailboat for a week or more, either with a skipper or without, to fully explore the best of the Caribbean. As a region of colonial heritage, each island offers a unique blend of cultures. Whether that's Anglophone areas like the British Virgin Islands or Francophone Guadeloupe, it's best to choose one of the island areas to explore. You can choose to circumnavigate larger islands like Puerto Rico or stick to archipelagos and island-hopping.

There are many different factors that can affect the cost of sailing the Caribbean seas, including the size, capacity, and type of boat, the season when you want to sail, the duration of your trip, and the number of people on board.  The price of Caribbean sailboat rentals will also be affected by whether or not you want to set sail with a skipper, as well as which extra services you want to add to your charter.  For example, you can usually choose to add a crew and watersports equipment to your charter for an additional charge.  

In general, though, sailing in the Caribbean will cost you at least $363 per day or $2542 per week in high season, and a minimum of $186 per day or $1304 per week in low season.

Can you go sailing in the Caribbean with or without a skipper?

Yes, it is possible to find a sailboat rental in the Caribbean either with or without a skipper.  However, you must keep in mind that if you want to charter without, you must be in possession of the appropriate licence. Sailing the Caribbean seas with a skipper and maybe even a crew is perfect for those who want a holiday where they only need to sit back and relax, watching as the spectacular shorelines of the Caribbean go past.  However, if you are someone who likes a little more adventure, bareboat Caribbean sailboat rentals where you can be the captain of your own boat will be a dream come true.

Sailing areas in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is a sailors playground, with an unlimited number of routes and potential itineraries. The British Virgin Islands may offer the best flexibility, with many islands within close distance from each other, offering plenty of opportunities to sail between 25 islands and take day excursions between glorious beaches and coves to a wealth of well-maintained ports such as Nanny Cay, Inner Harbour and Joma Marina. Alternatively, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines remains another favourite destination for experienced sailors, with gentle crystalline waters, alluring cays and paradisical islands. You should also consider Antigua and Barbuda, an area famed for its open sea races with plenty of small islands to visit.

Sailing boat rentals in the Caribbean are a popular choice of boat and can be found in the following areas of the Caribbean:

• British Virgin Islands
• Saint Martin
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• Antigua and Barbuda
• Saint Lucia

We calculate nautical miles in our routes and give restaurant recommendations in addition to other random facts and cool things you can do in the area.

Climate and Sailing Conditions in the Caribbean

Our favourite time of year is spring and early summer, from March to June, when the islands are in bloom and are a pleasure to sail. The trade winds are perfect at this time of year, though Christmas and Thanksgiving are also popular times of year for sailboat rentals. We do not advise sailing in August and September as this is known as hurricane season and various areas are not safe during this time of year. 

When is the best time to rent a sailboat in the Caribbean?

As long as you avoid sailing in the Caribbean between August and September, you are bound to have a fantastic time.  Although many people look for a sailboat rental in the Caribbean over the winter months, we actually advise going in Spring and early summer.  From March until early June, the weather will be perfect for sailing and there also shouldn’t be too many tourists.  The reduced number of people means that you should be able to find better deals on boats.

How to get to your sailboat rental in the Caribbean?

The best way to reach the islands is usually by plane, or alternatively you can rent a sailboat in Miami or in the near Florida and sail to Caribbean areas such as The Bahamas.  Many islands have international airports and you can fly directly or find connection flights.

Sailing on a sailboat in the Caribbean

Charter a sailboat in the Caribbean for the most exciting adventure. Admire secluded islands full of white sandy beaches, palm trees and surrounded by clear turquoise waters. A sailboat gives you the freedom to explore the islands you want to see at your own pace.

The pros of renting a sailboat in the Caribbean

Renting a sailboat in the Caribbean provides you with the freedom to explore the stunning Caribbean islands at your own pace. You decide where you go, sail along secluded islands and beaches, as well as discover hidden gems that are often inaccessible by other means of transportation. After all, there are no airplanes heading to the most secluded beaches.

A sailing yacht charter in the Caribbean allows you to explore this beautiful place on earth more sustainably. Sailboats solely run on wind, making them one of the most sustainable options when it comes to boat holidays in the Caribbean . They don’t produce additional CO2-emissions and don’t disturb the environment with noise pollution.

Sailing in the Caribbean comes with even more advantages than you might think. You can sail quite autonomously, because you don’t need to return to the marinas frequently in order to refuel your tank. In fact, you can go a whole week or more without going back to a marina - if you stocked up on enough food that is.

The cons of renting a sailboat in the Caribbean

While there are very many advantages to sailing in the Caribbean , there are also some things to keep in mind when doing so. Sailboats solely run on wind, which certainly makes them more sustainable, but also highly dependent on mother nature. You might get stuck in the middle of the sea or you might not even be able to leave the port when the winds are too strong and the ocean too dangerous.

Another thing to keep in mind when chartering a sailboat in the Caribbean is the fact that the cabins probably won’t be the most comfortable and biggest you have ever slept in. They certainly can’t keep up with the level of comfort you get when sleeping on board a catamaran, but comfort probably isn’t the main reason you would book a sailboat in the Caribbean, is it?

How many people can go on a sailboat in the Caribbean?

Most sailboats in the Caribbean offer enough space for 7 to 13 people to sleep on board the boat, but the majority of sailboats you can charter here offer space for eight people. This allows for an intimate sailing experience with your closest friends or family. The bedrooms might be small, but you probably won’t spend much time under deck anyway.

When is the best time to sail on a sailboat in the Caribbean?

The best time to sail in the Caribbean on a sailboat is between December and May. It’s dry, you get plenty of sunshine and the winds are reliable, but not too strong. During these months the winds are strongest in December and January, due to the Easterly Trade Winds, making for ideal sailing conditions. In general you can expect wind strengths of around 10-25 knots. You should definitely avoid sailing in late summer during hurricane season, as this could potentially catapult you into a life threatening situation.

Sailboat rental prices in Caribbean

A boat holiday in the Caribbean is certainly not something you would do when traveling on a budget, but a sailboat charter in the Caribbean is definitely one of the more affordable options when it comes to vacationing here. You can expect to pay between 3.500 $ and 30.000 $ per week. It’s all up to your budget. If you don’t want to sail the sailboat yourself, you can always hire a skipper in addition to your sailboat charter in the Caribbean . This will cost you extra, but you can lean back and simply enjoy your sailing vacation in the Caribbean .

What kind of boat license do I need when renting a sailboat in the Caribbean?

Good news: Anyone who wants to sail in the Caribbean can do so without a boat license. The charter will certainly give you instructions upon arrival on how to operate the sailboat and other useful information, but then it’s up to you. However, as sailboats are much harder to operate than motorboats, you will need some prior sailing experience in order to safely maneuver them across the water.

The best routes for sailboats in the Caribbean

The Caribbean offers numerous breathtaking routes for sailboats, each with its own highlights and attractions. Here are some of the best routes to consider when sailing on a sailboat in the Caribbean :

The Virgin Islands Route: This route explores the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands . It is renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. You can visit popular destinations such as Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and St. Thomas, while also discovering hidden coves and secluded anchorages. There are also quite a few beaches that you can only reach by boat. White Bay on Jost van Dyke will be a dream come true and you can safely anchor with plenty of other boats around. Loblolly Bay on Anegada is a white sandy beach surrounded by the clearest turquoise waters you can imagine. You will truly feel like you have arrived in paradise!

The Grenadines Route: This route takes you through the picturesque Grenadine Islands , including St. Vincent, Bequia, Mustique, Tobago Cays, and Grenada . The Grenadines offer stunning coral reefs, white sandy beaches, and a laid-back island atmosphere. It's a paradise for snorkeling, diving, and exploring charming fishing villages. The main island, St Vincent, offers plenty of amazing opportunities to go diving. Wallilabou Bay is one of the most popular spots here.

The Bahamas Route: While technically not part of the Caribbean Se a, the Bahamas are still considered a popular sailing destination in the Caribbean . This route takes you through the stunning Exumas, Abacos, and to its beautiful capital Nassau. The Bahamas offer pristine turquoise waters, countless secluded cays, and some of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the world. If you don’t just want to spend your days sunbathing and admiring the nature of the Bahamas, you should definitely explore Nassau’s vibrant nightlife.
