Although the temperatures are warm year-round there is a wet season from May-October, so the best time to book a yacht charter is generally December – April.

Saint Barths is the place for be for superyachts on New Years Eve, where upscale yacht owners and their guests gather to party on the 31st of December in the island’s capital, Gustavia.  You will have to share the bay with other yachts, but where better to sip Champagne?

Named by Forbes as one of the world’s Top 10 shopping destinations, St Barths has every luxury brand for designer shopping if you go ashore including Louis Vuitton, Chopard, Cartier and Dior.  You can also find lovely beachwear, footwear or culinary products such as spices.

Other popular Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year charter destinations are Saint Maarten with its blend of French and Dutch culture, and St Lucia with turquoise waters, great diving and stunning scenery.  The Bahamas offer over 700 islands and cays where relaxation is imminent and it’s located just 50 miles south of Florida.

Charter guests can discover the beauty of the Abaco and Exuma Islands, the lovely anchorages of the US Virgin Islands, lush green mountains of the Leeward Islands, the spice markets of Grenada, or stroll along the pink-sand beaches of Barbados.
