This is a rough itinerary and you may contact us a Regency Yacht Vacations and we will work with the yacht and you to come up with a charter itinerary.

Christmas in the Caribbean

It is never to early to start planning your Christmas Holiday. The festive season is one of the busiest times of the year and many people are discovering Christmas in the Caribbean. Flights tend to be sold out early on so start looking now.

Another good reason to book early is to ensure getting the yacht you want. Many are booked up to 6 months in advance. This season to help stimulate interest, some yachts are offering specials if you book early enough.

For example motor yacht Analisa is offfering no premium for anyone booking Christmas week. S/V Crystal Clear is offering 10% off if you book before December 15th.

Caribbean hurricane season

Summer in the Caribbean equals lower rates. This time is also known as hurricane season with the peak being August – October. While many Caribbean charter yachts head to the boat yard for some maintenance and R&R, many are still hard at work chartering.

Popular beaches and anchorages may be less crowded, likewise you will also find that many restarants and small resorts are also closed for a month or two. So beware, those favorite watering holes that you visited in the winter months may not be open for business.

The southern caribbean such as Aruba and Bonaire are known to be in a hurricane free zone. The popular Eastern Caribbean and US East Coast are most at risk mid-August to mid-September.

While there are many deals to be found we, at Regency Yacht Vacations, recommend that you purchase trip insurance to protect yourself incase bad weather heads your way.
