THE BEST LUXURY WINTER ESCAPES: Yacht Charter in the Bahamas and the Caribbean

February 26, 2018

Written by Eva Belanyiova

Whether you are based in Europe or live in America when it comes to escaping the winter chills: The Caribbean and the Bahamas are one of the best options to soak up sunshine and splash around in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. The lull between the festive season and the summer holidays is the perfect time to have the uninhabited islands all to yourselves – and the locations are a breeze to get to from both America and Europe. For the ultimate luxury winter escape, yacht charters offer the deluxe treatments of a 5-star hotel combined with a flexibility of moving from one island to the other without having to pack and unpack each time.

Following a relatively short flight from Europe or from America, each island is connected by local flights and once you reach your superyacht, travel, food and accommodation are all sorted in one package – and what more!? A personalised package with your own crew aboard that is at your disposal 24 hours a day for the entire duration of the vacation.

Look below to see a sample of some of the impressive luxury yachts cruising through the topaz waters of the Bahamas and the Caribbean and remember: Your own incredible adventure is less than a day away…
