Island Hopping, Trade Winds & The Heart of Charter Culture

Destinations

Welcome to the Caribbean

The Caribbean is the most popular charter destination in the world, with more charter yachts here than anywhere else. Reliable trade winds, easy line-of-sight navigation, warm, clear water, and hundreds of islands make it ideal. Whether you want lively beach bars, world-class snorkeling, quiet anchorages, or island culture, the Caribbean delivers. Peak season can be social and festive—there’s always a quieter cove if you want it.
