Color and Contrast: the Complete Sailboat Vacation

Simply the perfect place to take a bareboat or skippered sailing holiday. Such a diverse collection of islands dotting the clear blue sea, each with its own unique appeal. Local cultures that fascinate and entertain, offering a welcome that keeps charterers returning to these waters year after year. With its 7,000 Islands and 28 Island nations, reliable trade winds and long sailing season, the Caribbean is a region that offers an endless amount of holiday enjoyment.

At Sail Connections, we work with all the best charter operators in the Caribbean, sorting through all the available boats and presenting all the best options to suit your vacation plans. Some of our operators offer extra services that are unique to their destinations. We personalize your proposal and give you the benefit of our knowledge and local contacts, to deliver a fabulous sailing holiday wherever there's a boat to charter in the Caribbean. 

Charter Sailing in the Caribbean

The Caribbean's numerous islands give you so many fabulous places to explore, so many diverse cultures to experience, that the permutations for planning a sailing charter are simply too numerous to list. The sailing distances between territories can be very short, and there are countless yacht charter bases scattered across the region. That opens the door to all manner of opportunities – from a seven-day sail around one distinct island nation to a multi-week one-way charter that takes in a wide variety of cultures and geographical features.

The Caribbean yacht charter season is busy from November through July. The peak season is mid-December to March, when winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers.

The hurricane season arrives late July and can last until early October, although storms here are rare and tend to deflect northwards towards the USA rather than hit the Caribbean. These months have their advantages in that they are the least costly for chartering, particularly in the British Virgin Islands. At that time of year it is in fact more likely to encounter light winds than it is storms.

As with many yacht charter locations, the shoulder season can be the best time to charter a yacht. In the Carribean that's from April to July. There are less shore-based visitors then, yet you can expect settled and sunny weather with warm, steady breezes prevailing.

We have access to over 30 charter bases in the region, from where you can take a sailboat vacation like no other. We select from the best boats available and guide you into the ideal sailing adventure that matches your interests and level of experience. The sailing options here are just about endless. Hopefully these pages will help you on your way to your much-anticipated Caribbean sailing holiday.

Regional Map of the Main Charter Sailing Areas

A One-way Cruise: Martinique to Grenada

There are quite simply countless itinerary options for sailing the caribbean. for many charterers a downwind cruise offers the crew conditions for maximum enjoyment. so here's a sample north to south course plan that gives you the prevailing breeze abaft. .

Waterfront at Fort de France, Martinique's largest town

Sailing from Martinique to Grenanda you can expect winds primarily from the northeast, especially around peak season either side of Christmas. Sailing this course involves short stretches of open water, with a stiff and steady breeze on your aft quarter. That makes for quick passages with most enjoyable sailing to a choice of Islands, whether it be for a lunch stop and a snorkel, or an overnight stay.

The eastern Caribbean islands that form a distinctive arc on the map are collectively the Lesser Antilles, a mixture of soverign states and territories governed by various powers. A trip along some of this chain exposes the voyager to a wide variety of cultures and customs in places that all sit in the idyllic picture-postcard surroundings of the movies and travel brochures. 

Starting in Martinique and sailing south, you are exploring the Windward Island group of the Antilles.

Wildlife viewing at its finest in the Tobago Cays

Like most of this group, Martinique was orginally colonised by France, and French flair is still in evidence there today. Martinique offers excellent on-shore facilities for the visitor, and is a popular base for boat charters. The island is mountainous, but with plenty of white sandy beaches to enjoy, especially in the south.

The next island is St Lucia. It's some 30 nautical miles to Rodney Bay on St Lucia's northwest, so to get there requires an early start. There are several top spots to visit down the island's sheltered western coast. Take time out to investigate Les Deux Pitons.

Another long but relaxing sail to St Vincent and the Grenadines, so-named because of their joint French and British colonial history. St Vincent has its Blue Lagoon that you'll probably overnight in, while the Grenadines island group, some of which confusingly belong to Grenada, provide numerous anchoring options.

Happy charterers enjoying their time ashore in the Grenadines

The Grenadines stretch all the way to Grenada, your final port of call, making this part of the voyage very convenient for a leisurely sail. Call in at one of the uninhabited Tobago cays for a real taste of desert island living, if only for a few hours.

Once offshore Carriacou you are in Grenadan territory. Grenada, like St Lucia & St Vincent and the Grenadines, is now an independent member of the British Commonwealth, but with historical French influence. This is the 'Island of Spice' where nutmeg and mace production are important to the economy. As is tourism, and there is plenty to entertain you before concluding your vacation and departing these fabulous sailing waters.

Once you have experienced all the pleasures of sailing the Caribbean, chances are you'll be back one day for more.

Home ~ Bareboat Charters

• Bareboat Charters

With no timetable, no crew, and an endless supply of beaches, coves and unique islands and coastlines to visit, a power or sailing bareboat charter represents the perfect private get away vacation. You be the captain or add a freelance Skipper with local cruising area knowledge and embark on an unforgettable adventure on the water.

What is a Bareboat Charter?

You’re the captain of this ship….

A bareboat charter is a yacht charter vacation without a hired crew or provisions included. You or someone in your party will need some sailing experience. Check to see if you’re qualified to charter a bareboat . Choose from many different yacht models from 32-54 feet, monohull or catamaran, all designed for easy handling and comfort on the water.

Go where you want, when you want…

A bareboat charter vacation typically lasts 7-10 days. You have complete control over your itinerary and are free to explore how you choose. Spend the day sailing the open sea or make short island hops and anchor for a lunchtime picnic and afternoon snorkel. Finally, settle in a different bay to spend the night and wake up to beautiful island beaches and coastlines.

Sailing for every skill level…

From easy line-of-sight navigation to open water thrills, choose your destination based on your skill level and comfort at the helm. Different destinations require different levels of sailing skills encompassing tides, winds, weather conditions and other navigational challenges you may encounter.

Add a Skipper for part of your trip or for the entire charter…

If you don’t feel comfortable sailing unfamiliar waters or have little to no sailing experience but still want to enjoy a yacht charter vacation, add a freelance Skipper to do the sailing for you. A friendly Skipper will come with professional sailing experience, extensive local knowledge, a focus on guest safety and a collaborative approach to planning daily itineraries. Keep in mind that a Skipper will need their own cabin and need to eat, and pre-planning with assigned Skippers is limited. For a more extensive planning experience that includes a Professional Captain and Gourmet Chef aboard a luxury yacht, check out our Crewed Charters page.

Provision your way…

You stock your charter boat with provisions of your choosing and you plan your meals ashore to enjoy local cuisine. Many destinations and charter companies offer advanced provisioning so your yacht is stocked and ready for you when you arrive or most bareboat bases are close to a grocery store where you can do your provisioning once you get there.

Break out the toys…

Keep everyone entertained by adding some water toys. Some bareboat companies offer add-ons such as standup paddleboards, kayaks and fishing gear in select destinations or you can rent water toys from a local supplier.

Choosing a Bareboat Company…

There are hundreds of bareboat charter companies with thousands of boats in destinations all around the world. Each Bareboat Company’s fleet, terms and conditions, requirements, inclusions and exclusions, and how they operate vary enormously from company to company and from destination to destination. Some companies have newer yachts from world class builders with the latest features such as color chart plotters, autopilots, generators, air-conditioning and water makers. And some companies have older boat models with limited features. There are many enticing bareboat charter sites on the web with lots of pretty pictures and last minute yacht charter deals that proclaim to have the best fleet or the most experience, but in reality, it is virtually impossible to judge a boat’s condition or a company’s performance from a website or a magazine ad. All companies have some boats in their fleets that are better than others but each company only promotes boats in their fleets.

As an independent agency that works with all the bareboat charter companies around the world, our top priority is to find the right boat for you from among the literally hundreds of fleets, regardless of which company represents them. We might regularly suggest and book some boats in these fleets, but there are often some boats in the same fleet we just wouldn’t recommend. Choosing the right boat and company that meets your requirements and budget can make all the difference for your yacht charter vacation. We book more bareboat charters than any other independent broker and know from our own experiences and feedback from our customers as well as our network of industry professionals which companies produce satisfied customers. Good service and expert advice doesn’t have to be expensive, we’re happy to work with any budget, and will advise you realistically on your options.

Booking a Bareboat Charter…

Tell us something good….

Provide us with the details of your trip :

Where do you want to Go? When do you want to go? Who is coming with you? (How Many) What type of boat would you prefer? How much do you want to spend?

The Choice Is Yours…

We’ll handpick the best available options based on the details you provided.

You can browse Bareboats on our site, select your Favorites and send them to us . We’ll respond with pros and cons along with our picks so you can compare .

Ultimately, you make your choice, pay the deposit, sign the Bareboat Company’s Terms and Conditions and we’ll confirm the charter.

It’s Not Over Until It’s Over…

Our Service doesn’t stop at confirmation.

We’ll stick with you throughout the process with reminders on the required paperwork, payments due, important details and answer any questions that come up.

After your charter, we’ll ask you how it went and hopefully we can do it all again for your next Bareboat Charter. The best part?… There is no additional charge for our services. You pay the same price as booking direct.

Location of the Caribbean

The phrase, Caribbean region, stands for the North and Central American groups of islands. In a broader sense, some Central and South American countries also belong here, such as Columbia or Venezuela. There are more than 700 islands in the region. We can divide the Caribbean Islands into three main parts. The Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and the Lesser Antilles.

Beaches in the Caribbean

There are several gorgeous beaches, gulfs, and lagoons here. The crystal clear seawater and warm sunlight create a picturesque view. The beauty of the landscape will surely make your travel memorable. The white sandy shores of the Caribbean Sea are among the most astonishing swimming sites in the world. Here are some:

Gulf of Maundays, Anguilla

One of the most popular holiday resorts, Cap Julica is in this gulf. The amazing five-star resort provides full comfort and luxury. Thus, no wonder celebrities also like staying here. The beach has a private bar and other services as well.

Valley Church, Antigua

A cozy beach that enchants visitors with different shades of blue water. The water is calm and crystal clear, white sand carpet covers its shore. You can discover hundreds of other beaches between Antigua and Barbuda. They will certainly outshine your expectations. The secret gems of this area are its hidden gulfs, which you too can explore if you rent a boat.

Pink Sands beach

Many visit Harbour Island to view this famous section of the seaside. The coral is a unique mixture of broken shells, miniature stones, and calcium carbonate. It colors the sand with pink fragments. It’s a wide and long beach surrounded by calm water. It can be an ideal and beautiful venue for wedding ceremonies, sports, or yoga.

Treasure Beach, Bahamas

It’s among the best beaches in the world. Treasure beach is a 3, 5- mile -long section of shore with every service available to make a vacation incomparable and even more excellent. You can enjoy pleasant cafés and restaurants or try watersports.

Main attractions in the Caribbean

The picturesque scenery welcomes visitors with several colorful and unique programs. Besides beautiful beaches, you can take pleasure in viewing the exotic flora of the jungle or the underwater wildlife. Sea turtles are amazing residents of the Caribbean Sea. They are one of the endangered species, thus, numerous rescue and breeding programs started in the past few years to protect the animals. Many visitors come to Puerto Rico to see the turtles, while they’re laying their eggs in the sand. They also come to see the exciting moment, when the little turtles leave their nests and go into the water. Besides water and seaside sights the Caribbean region also has a rich cultural heritage. There are more than 40 museums in Cuba, that display art, music, the revolution, chocolate, or cigars.

The Caribbean weather

The Caribbean region has the traits of all year hot and humid tropical climate. The weather is somewhat cool and dry from the middle of January to the middle of April. From the middle of June to the middle of November it’s usually hot, wet, and rainy. Subtropical monsoon climate dominates in the region. The average yearly temperature is 28 °C.

Bareboat yacht charter in the Caribbean

A roundtrip on the Caribbean Sea could be a very exciting and memorable program for the whole family. Rent a small boat, a luxury yacht, or a sailboat. It’s important that you find out about landing places. The Caribbean region involves numerous ports, small and large. However, they might be very different. The most popular and high-standard ports are in the larger cities. These are the ports of for example Nassau, Falmouth, Puerto Rico, Philipsburg, or Mexico. They are well-equipped and provide all the services necessary for boating. The majority of sea centers and smaller islands are in daily connection.

The most popular ports in the Bahamas

Great guana cay.

Great Guana Cay is located in the centre of the Exumas. It has two great anchorages: Black Point and Little Bay. Black Point is a true gem with a nice port and several moorings. People are very friendly and casual, and they find it important to help sailors in any way they can. Little Bay is a small bay at the southern end of Black Point. The sea bottom is sandy, making it ideal for securing our boat safely. The depth of water is app. 3-4 metres. There is a beautiful beach here, but there are no establishments, ports or shops. Information about Exumas sailing or boat rental in Exumas

Spanish Wells

Spanish Wells is located on St. Georges Cay, west of the northern corner of Eleuthera. Its port is constituted by a long channel bordered by two small islands. It is protected well and is only open for the winds coming from the eastern direction. There is a great port and a hurricane hole in the west where boats are tied to mangrove trees. There are six anchoring buoys on the eastern side. We can find Spanish Wells Yacht Haven & Marina here which is a full-service yacht marina with 40 berths; besides the basic services, they also have a bicycle rental.

The downtown is within walking distance. We can anchor at Royal Island Harbour in the west, which provides ideal anchorages for vessels with a larger draft. The only disadvantage is that they have no amenities or services. Information about Eleuthera sailing , or boat rental in EleutheraMore about Bahamas sailing tours, or Bahamas yacht rental

They provide access to fuel and electricity in both areas. We need to pass through a narrow route for entry.

Road Harbour

Road Town is the capital of Tortola and the sailing centre of the British Virgin Islands. We can enter the port through the Sir Francis Drake Channel . Road Harbour has several yacht marinas providing full service and accommodation. We can find Road Reef Marina, Fort Burt and Wickham’s Cay I and II here; Road Reef Marina and Fort Burt are on the western side, while Wickham’s Cay is on the north.

• Bareboat Charters in the Caribbean

For qualified sailors, Bareboat Charters in the Caribbean offer the ultimate freedom. Indeed you go where you want, do what you want, explore, join in the festivities ashore or slip away from everything on a remote beach.

Significantly, with no timetable, no crew, and an endless supply of beaches, coves, and unique islands to visit, sailboat or motorboat, bareboat charters represent the ultimate get-away vacation.  Wake up each morning in a different harbor, and explore new islands. Find that perfect coral reef to snorkel or dive on, or lounge away the afternoon on a secluded beach.

On Bareboat charters in the Caribbean, you might want to dine on the delectable tropical cuisine ashore. Or prepare your own special dinner in the galley and enjoy a romantic dinner aboard. Then simply fall asleep to the sounds of the sea in a quiet, peaceful cove. Awaken the next morning, and do it all over again.

If Bareboat charters in the Caribbean is your idea of a dream vacation then what are you waiting for? Let us make all the preparations for you. We will help you choose the boat and a destination like the British Virgin Islands or Bahamas . To create your d ream vacation getaway.

Are you worried you’re not qualified to bareboat charter?

While in terms of qualification, there is no particular licensing or certification required to bareboat charter in some areas of the Caribbean. What charter companies specifically look for is skippering experience on a boat similar in size and type to the one you wish to charter. “Bareboat certification” or “liveaboard cruising” courses are valuable. But without skippering experience, yacht charter companies will not consider you to be “qualified” for bareboat charters in the Caribbean.

During your check-out process, the company can determine that you should take a skipper at your expense for a period of time until you are comfortable operating the boat. You could also choose to have a skipper on board taking care of the boat’s operation during your vacation.

What type of boats for Bareboat Charters in the Caribbean?

You may choose a motorboat, sailing catamarans, or monohull sailboats. Above all, the choice depends on your sailing experience and preference.  The Grenadines  are a wonderful destination choice due to the many lovely harbors, small Grenadines islands, and cays to explore. Or, maybe you prefer the laid-back atmosphere of The Abacos in the Bahamas with its many secluded white-sand beaches.

Putin on the Ritz…?

June 17, 2012 at 5:18 pm

Reply ↓

I realize that Moscow is on the Volga River, which connects to the Caspian Sea, but I’m wondering how foreign vessels can reach it? Or do foreign travel companies just buy a yacht that’s already "in the system"?

June 17, 2012 at 5:19 pm

From the Caspian Sea, Gary, yachts come up the Volga then on to the Oka River and enter a tributary call the Moskva ("Moscow" in Russian) River. Alternate route is Volga to man-made Moscow Canal (which connects Volga to Moskva River). The big superyachts can’t get into the city limits because the river is only 3 inches deep. Just outside of the city, however, the water is 6 meters deep, perfect for large yachts. Yacht passengers easily travel into the city by limousine. (I imagine thoughts of hovercrafts, etc are a consideration for someday…) James Bond, anyone?

The first pavilion of Crocus Expo IEC hosted an extraordinary exposition of the 5th International exhibition of yachts and boats Moscow Boat Show. The show had been incredibly famous for five years already not only thanks to the specialists of the market segment as well as professional sportsmen but also thanks to those who consider sailing sport to be their hobby and well cherished dream.

Moscow Boat Show 2012

The organizer of the project was the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre. The show was supported by Aston Martin Moscow, Burevestnik Group logistics department and the Yachting specialized magazine.

Moscow Boat Show provided the perfect platform from which to preview new products, evaluate market trends, and establish long-lasting and commercially profitable partnerships. Despite the dynamic changes taking place in Russia and the rapid growth of the yachting sector, the show continued to complement and reflect the industry’s demand and is a promotional opportunity not to be missed!

Domfinland OY unveiled a luxury project from Finnish real estate: a seaside premium class hotel in Hanko named consonant with the location Merihanko.

The trade fair was traditionally opened by a Gala Opening Ceremony. Arcady Zlotnikov, First Deputy Director Crocus Expo IEC, was the first to take the floor at the official opening ceremony. He greeted warmly exhibitors, guests and visitors of Moscow Boat Show. Nikolay Krjuchek, Deputy Chief of the State Inspection on Small size Vessels (GIMS) of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of Russia, Georguiy Shaiduko, Acting President of the Russian Yachting Federation (VFPS), Olympic champion in Atlanta and Ekaterina Grishechkina, Director of exhibition Moscow Boat Show also spoke at the ceremony.

A number of business meetings and negotiations were held within the frames of the project: the exhibition was visited by a large delegation of Greek businessmen for the purpose of establishment of mutually beneficial cooperation with the Russian colleagues.

More than 400 yachts on display at the Show

Russian Yachting Federation (VFPS) celebrated its 100 anniversary within the frames of Moscow Boat Show and arranged an exposition of future sailing sport museum (rare awards, gifts, articles from private collections, pictures and etc.) which had been collected since 1912.

Due to carefully chosen running dates the show was visited by more than 26 000 people. The majority of the visitors were of targeted audience – vessel owners and specialists of the branch.

The work at the next edition of the show is under way! The show will be held in March 2013. The overall exhibit space will comprise 40 000 sq m. The exhibition will impress with exclusive exhibits and the latest technological achievements.

Moscow Boat Show was not only an entertaining but at the same time a business promotional event. Participation in the trade fair was a unique opportunity to present a company and products to a distinctly selected targeted audience of industry specialists. They were well prepared to discuss business in the Russian market and even to close a deal on-site.

The show helped representatives of yachting business to get acquainted with their Russian colleagues and gradually improved national yachting market to a new level. It is obvious that for 5 years of its running the project has turned to a status event of the international exhibitions calendar.
