When is the Best Time for a Caribbean Yacht Charter?

Author: Rumble Romagnoli

Caribbean yacht charter is one of the options available for travel plans who value the ultimate experience more than the financial commitment for such travel plans. A bit expensive but great experience will be guaranteed if one prefers to take up Caribbean yacht charter as his next travel destination. A yacht charter can be hired on a chartered basis by the private parties going on a travel to the exotic islands of the Caribbean, as well as the British Virgin Islands.

The Caribbean offer various types of yacht charters such as bareboat charter, corporate yacht charter, luxury yacht charter and crewed yacht charter. Among the bareboat charter and the crewed yacht charters, there are three sub categories such as monohull charter, catamaran charter and motor yacht charter. Depending upon the size of the travel party or the members of the team, the type of charter vehicle that might be needed can be decided. The yacht charter comes with a dedicated crew service to help in guiding the tourists to the various exotic locations in addition to cooking and serving the members of the travel team.

After having decided to have yacht charter as the next mode of travel for Caribbean islands, and also finalizing the type of yacht charter, then comes the decision as to the timing of the travel to the islands.

What is the ideal time to visit the Caribbean islands for a yacht charter? Typically the season between September to November in the calendar year is the time to avoid visiting this exotic location as the seas will be very dangerous and the possibility of hurricanes and floods is more in this part of the world during that period.

The ideal time to visit the Caribbean islands and plan a yacht charter is between December and April. Even among these 5 months, the months of February and March are the best and the demand for all types of yacht charters will be very high during this period. It is for this reason that travel plans should be finalized about 3 to 6 months in advance and bookings for the charter are made well in advance.

The period between May to August and part of November is also ideal for booking a yacht charter, but the traffic will be relatively less and the demand for yachts will be just above normal.

Another salient feature of the Caribbean islands that makes it just the ideal destination for yacht charter is the tropical climate across most parts of the region. The temperature across the region does not show major variations in the temperature level, with maximum temperature of 280 Celsius in the months of July and August and a temperature of 240 Celsius in the months of January and February. However, there might be minor variation in the local temperature taking into consideration the elevation of the land above the sea level, trade winds in the region and the water currents in the sea.

The primary language across the Caribbean islands is English and as such should not be a major problem for the visitors to this exotic travel destination.
