Caribbean charters, island by island.
A week aboard. Short passages, long lunches, a different bay every evening.
Intro · Caribbean
The Caribbean is made for traveling slowly. A week aboard gives you time to move between islands without rushing — short passages in the morning, long lunches at anchor, afternoons in the water, and a different bay waiting each evening.
Global Yachts Network plans Caribbean yacht charters around one island group at a time — term charters of a week or more, with the British Virgin Islands as a natural starting point. A typical itinerary can begin in Tortola before continuing to Norman Island and The Indians, White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, Cane Garden Bay, Virgin Gorda and The Baths, then north to the open horizon and quieter pace of Anegada.
The Caribbean season is at its best from December through April, when many vessels are positioned in the region. Provisioning and itinerary planning are arranged before arrival, so once you step aboard, the only real decision is where you want to wake up next.
The itinerary
A week in the BVI
BVI island loop, Anegada north.
Day 1
Tortola — Road Town
Step aboard, provisioned and ready. Short shakedown sail to the first bay.
Day 2
Norman Island & The Indians
The BVI's best-known snorkel, then a protected overnight at The Bight.
Day 3
Jost Van Dyke — White Bay
Bare feet, beach bars, and an afternoon that refuses to be scheduled.
Day 4
Cane Garden Bay
An easy hop along Tortola's north shore; music ashore if you want it.
Day 5
Virgin Gorda — The Baths
Granite boulders, hidden pools, and the slow route through the sound.
Day 6–7
Anegada
North to the flat horizon. Lobster on the beach, and the quietest night of the week.
The fleet · Caribbean
Vessels we recommend.
When to go
December through April is high season — steady trades, dry days, and the full fleet positioned in the region. Shoulder months (May, November) trade a little predictability for quieter anchorages. Vessels reposition seasonally, so the earlier a week is reserved, the wider the choice of yachts.

Questions we get
Caribbean · FAQ
When is Caribbean charter season?
December through April is high season — steady trade winds, dry days, and the widest choice of vessels. May and November are quieter shoulder months.
Where do charters begin?
Typically Road Town, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Other island groups — the Leewards, the Grenadines — by arrangement.
How long should a Caribbean charter be?
A week per island group. Less means rushing the passages; more means adding a second group properly.
Do we need sailing experience?
No. Every charter is fully crewed, and provisioning is arranged from your preference sheet before you arrive.
How far ahead should we book?
For high-season weeks, several months — vessels are positioned in the region seasonally and the best weeks go first.
