It’s time to think about the Caribbean islands

Thinking of a winter vacation? Thinking of one maybe without snow and warm blue water? Think Caribbean islands!

Many types of yachts are available with full crews depending on what type of yachting you would like. Large motor yachts tend to stay in the Leeward islands when not on charter. The larger sailing yachts for charter may base in Antigua or St Maarten, while the majority of smaller yachts, both motor and sailing, tend to base in The Virgin Islands.

The Virgin islands is also home to the large fleet of fully crewed catamarans available for charter.

The holiday season of Christmas and New Years will have premium rates and competition for the most popular yachts with some owners also requiring bookings of 10 days or more. The School and Easter Holidays also book up early. So, think of when you’d like to go, and where and let International Yacht Charter Group get to work and plan a vacation of a lifetime for you.

So what is chartering a yacht like? Chartering a yacht involves a lot of enjoyable browsing of different yachts and is a pleasure to do. Here are some questions you should think about when selecting a yacht. Do you want to be on a motorized yacht or a yacht with sails? Is this yacht going to be used for a corporate event or for a family vacation? Where do you want to go and when? How many people will be in your party and what mix of adults and children will you have? What do you want to do on the yacht? Scuba dive? Fish? Water ski?

All these questions and factors can lead you to picking out just the right yacht and just the right budget. Crewed yachts, one of the most popular kinds of yachts, come with a crew with the yacht. The size of the crew will depend on the size of the yacht, so the crew size could be anywhere from two people to 30 people.

And, of course, charter rates vary by season and the size, type, location of the yacht. Prices for chartering a crewed yacht vary between $5,000 to more than $500,000 a week.
