A Caribbean mega yacht charter combines the privacy of your own floating resort with the freedom to explore the most exclusive islands in the region. Mega yachts and superyachts, generally yachts over about 100 ft and up to 446 ft in our fleet, offer multiple decks, a large professional crew, gourmet cuisine and an extensive collection of tenders and water toys.
What to expect aboard a Caribbean mega yacht
- Five-star service: a captain, chef, stewards and deckhands dedicated to your group, often with a crew-to-guest ratio close to one to one.
- Space and amenities: large master suites, sun decks, Jacuzzis, gyms, cinema rooms and beach clubs on many yachts.
- Toys: fast tenders, jet skis, seabobs, e-foils, paddleboards and dive equipment.
- Privacy: anchor away from the crowds and plan each day around your group.
Popular mega yacht cruising areas
St. Barts, St. Martin and Anguilla form the classic superyacht circuit, with Antigua and the Leeward Islands close by. The British Virgin Islands and the Grenadines offer quieter anchorages and some of the clearest water in the Caribbean.
