We look at our fleet and combine glowing reviews from past charter clients, standout features, award-winning crew, and that overall wow factor to round up some of the best yachts for charter in the Caribbean this winter season.
LOON
The 221’ (68m) LOON is one of the most popular charter yachts in the Caribbean, and with its Instagram-famous reputation, it is easy to see why. The ICON-built yacht sleeps 12 guests across 7 cabins and is equipped to ensure you have the most memorable charter. A yacht perfect for water enthusiasts. Aside from the main deck swimming pool, LOON's toy box is overflowing, with Seabobs, surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, and more towable inflatables onboard than you will have time for! Plenty of certified crew are onboard to guide you, including dive masters, pro surfers, and kite surfing instructors.
But the agenda doesn't always have to be active; LOON is ideal for relaxation with a range of lounging areas throughout the exterior and interior. There is also a spa and wellness area to rejuvenate, complete with a sauna and massage room. Helmed by a knowledgeable and experienced captain, a LOON itinerary in the BVI or Bahamas will unveil all the best-kept secret anchorages.
NEXT CHAPTER
If you are looking for a charter yacht ideal for mixed groups, the 181’ (55m) NEXT CHAPTER can accommodate up to 13 guests across a versatile configuration of queens, twins, and a Pullman.
The stylish Italian interior design hosts unique cabins with panoramic views. The master suite has an observation lounge, while the VIP cabin also boasts exceptional views. Meanwhile, activity-wise, there is always plenty to choose from. For those interested in fishing, NEXT CHAPTER has tournament-worthy fishing and spearfishing gear onboard. On request, an experienced fishing program can be organized with the expert crew. Fitness regimes can be challenging to maintain on vacation, but the air-conditioned sundeck gym offers a great solution.
A Jacuzzi can also be found on the sundeck to soothe tired muscles. The large beach club provides a vast array of toys such as Seabobs, stand-up paddleboards, Fliteboards, and jet skis for those wanting to splash around in the crystal-clear waters.
A range of Caribbean island itineraries are available with NEXT CHAPTER; why not cruise from Martinique to the USVIs?
MOSKITO
The 180’ (55m) MOSKITO has an abundance of space, both inside and out. On the main deck, an impressive 82-square-meter master suite is ideal for a romantic getaway. The 5 other cabins also make it suitable for larger groups and families, accommodating 12 guests. For on-the-water fun, MOSKITO has jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, towables, and wakeboards. The lounging areas on the deck offer a chance to soak up Caribbean rays and present multiple alfresco dining options.
The extensive beach club leads into a lower deck spa and wellness area, where treatments can be enjoyed throughout a charter. Thanks to the Fast Displacement Hull Form and zero speed stabilizers at anchor, this Heesen yacht provides a fuel-efficient and extremely comfortable base to explore the Windward Islands.
TURQUOISE
A hull color akin to the name, the 182’ (55m) TURQUOISE can accommodate 12 guests across 6 spacious and well-appointed cabins. The interior refit updates last year showcase the modern elegance and sumptuous interiors. Outside, the lofty sundeck is home to a Jacuzzi, bar, barbecue, and sun loungers, making for ideal relaxation and entertaining areas on any Caribbean yacht charter.
Meanwhile, the Peloton caters to any fitness fanatics who want to enjoy a waterside workout.

This award-winning yacht is an excellent choice for any Caribbean itinerary, from Cuba down to Trinidad & Tobago.
LADY BETH
Spanning 180’ (55m), LADY BETH has plenty of space for any yacht charter group. One unique feature of this Newcastle Marine yacht is the two master staterooms, one on the main deck and another on the upper deck, with panoramic ocean views. The views continue in the sky lounge with its high vaulted ceilings, complete with a large-screen TV for movie nights and a games table. A group of up to 12 will be comfortable within LADY BETH's 6 cabins, comprising 4 doubles and 2 triples.
There is no shortage of toys onboard, from Seabobs, wave runners and Lift e-foils to name a few. There is also an opportunity for guided and instructor-led fun with certified crew members taking guests scuba diving, kitesurfing, and surfing. Back onboard, you can sink into the infinity edge Jacuzzi, use the gym equipment, or simply relax in the sun loungers with a cocktail in hand. A yacht charter in the Leeward Islands is perfect onboard LADY BETH.
PISCES
PISCES was our fleet's most booked charter yacht last summer, and for good reason. The 151’ (46m) Delta Marine-built yacht accommodates 12 guests in 5 cabins. Her contemporary interiors are light and airy, with plenty of communal space ideal for families and groups.
The 9 exceptional crew members and an award-winning chef ensure guests have an unforgettable superyacht charter. A huge toy box full of waterskis, wakeboards, towables, foils, Seabobs, and an inflatable swim platform with child-friendly protection means there is fun for everyone.
The golf tee and eco-friendly golf balls enable golf lovers to never miss a round, even at sea, while the treadmill and gym equipment give accessible opportunities for workouts. There are plenty of TV screens and high-speed internet for streaming and connectivity. For partying vibes, there is also an onboard SONOS system. The sundeck and swim-up bar at the Jacuzzi are perfectly positioned to enjoy the sunset. While any Caribbean itinerary is available with PISCES, a particular favorite is Granada.
BIG EASY
The 146' (45m) Hakvoort BIG EASY is excellent for any Caribbean yacht charter. The classic design with luxurious and immaculate interior finishes boasts flexible accommodation for 12 guests, including one convertible cabin and a master suite with a private lounge. One particular highlight is the large sundeck, with enough space for a Peloton, elliptical trainer, and other gym equipment alongside a Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads.
Entertainment-wise, both the saloon and sky lounge have advanced systems.

The 40" Intrepid tender is on hand to whisk guests to shore or for excursions visiting nearby bays and islets. Whether you choose to cruise the Windward Islands or the Leeward Islands on BIG EASY, it will not disappoint.
ALTA
Built with charter and world cruising in mind, the 144' (43.89m) ALTA offers more than the average charter yacht of her size. She is currently completing an extensive refit, led by award-winning superyacht designer Patrick Knowles, to ensure that she provides guests with a truly exceptional experience.
ALTA is capable of carrying up to nine crew members to ensure guests receive the most out of their luxury charter vacation, making full use of all the amenities and leisure facilities on board this vessel. To explore the idyllic Caribbean bays of Antigua, you can take the kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and wave runners out for a spin.
KOJU
The 120’ (37m) Benetti KOJU was inspired and revamped to align with the iconic Motopanfilo yachts of the 60s and 70s. In the modern and nautical twist interiors, 5 staterooms accommodate up to 10 guests. The floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living areas with light, and the connection between the interior and exterior gives an open-plan feel. The 'cocoon style' observation deck is a standout feature, providing an intimate space perfect for relaxation, looking onto the Caribbean vistas.
Down on the aft, the Hamptons-style beach club is ideal for sun worshippers but also has a retractable canopy for shade. To cool off, the foredeck hosts a pool, and KOJU has plenty of water toys, including towable tubes, Lift foils, Flyboards, jet skis, and an inflatable island. Sundowners can enjoy the various alfresco dining and lounging options while anchored off one of the yacht's regularly visited picturesque anchorages of Martinique.
XOXO
Chartering the 118’ (36m) XOXO means you will benefit from a completely fresh yacht after the recent extensive refit. The yacht's sleek and neutral interior accommodates 8-10 guests across 5 staterooms, including a convertible queen for versatility. If entertaining is the core purpose of the charter, XOXO is ideal. There are 3 bars and 3 dining areas onboard, with flexible options between formal and casual.
As well as friends and family, guests can also bring their furry friends aboard the pet-friendly yacht. Various watersport opportunities include a two-person jet ski, wakeboards, towables, and snorkeling equipment. The crew can arrange comfortable beach setups for beach days like those in the USVIs. Meanwhile, the 32" Nauticstar tender can ferry guests between the yacht and ashore.
