Caribbean Yacht Charters: the best luxury superyachts for last minute bookings

By Katie Scott   26 November 2020

Now re-open to leisure travel following multiple restrictions related to COVID-19, the 2020 Caribbean winter season is set to be one of the busiest in its history. 

With palm-fringed, white sandy beaches and turquoise waters welcoming every visiting yacht charter, we look at some of the best deals on the market.

With high season fast approaching for Caribbean yacht charters, the end of December through to early January is the best time to make the most of the unforgettable sights and sounds of the Caribbean. 

Lifting the COVID-19 travel limitations in stages throughout the year, the Bahamas re-opened early on in June and has since welcomed yacht charters back to the US Virgin Islands, with the British Virgin Islands due to re-open on 1 December. 

Whether you are looking to visit the world-famous swimming pigs in the Exumas or put your diving license to use with abundant blue holes, drop-offs, coral reefs and wreck dives there's a multitude of reasons why the Caribbean is the place to go for some socially distanced winter sun.

Coronavirus in the Caribbean

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has seen a transformation in yacht charter vacations with the aspect of social distancing playing a vital role.

Social distancing yacht charters have adapted seamlessly to the new 'normal' way of life, with each superyacht being its own self-contained and self-controlled environment. 

In addition to the measures of hygiene and safety integrated into the daily running of yacht charters, facilities such as the COVID testing clinic at Yacht Club Isle de Sol, in St Maarten, work to give all charter guests and crew extra assistance in the constant battle to control the coronavirus.

If you're concerned about the effects of coronavirus on your yacht charter vacation take a look at how yacht charter brokers are representing charters during the COVID-19 pandemic
