The chain of islands that stretches from the Southern tip of North America to the northern coast of South America is an idyllic paradise that requires little introduction. The crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean meander through 700 tropical islands, reefs, and cays, and blanket a kaleidoscope of colours for divers to explore.
These 700 islands are organised into 30 territories, governed by 13 sovereign nation-states, creating a rich tapestry of culture and a wide range of on-land activities. As the Mediterranean season comes to a close during this time of year, the great migration to warmer shores begins.
The winter calendar is also studded with fantastic superyacht events. Two yacht shows are held in December, one in Antigua and the other at Port Louis Marina in Grenada. In February, the regional regattas kick off. The RORC Caribbean 600, an offshore sailing race starting and finishing in Antigua, marks the beginning of the circuit in February, closely followed by the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta and Les Voiles de St. Barth.

Here are four yachts still available for charter this season:
NITA K II | Amels | 52m | 628 GT
Amels launched NITA K II in 2004 and she remains in impeccable condition, thanks to two refits and a devoted owner who understands the needs of superyacht charter clients. With five well-appointed staterooms, NITA K II can accommodate up to 12 guests.
NITA K II features a full-beam master suite on the main deck, complete with an office and lounge, along with two VIPs and two queens, each with a Pullman berth. Her list of amenities is extensive, and her garage is stocked with a small armada of water toys. With an outstanding and attentive captain and a crew of 13, guests will experience six-star service.
Charter rates for NITA K II start from $250,000 per week.
EMERALD | Feadship | 50m | 467 GT
EMERALD is a classic yacht brimming with modern amenities, following an extensive refit completed earlier this year. Balk Shipyard stripped her back, extended her, and refurbished her with a strong family-focused design, which has made her a favourite on the charter market.
With six modern en suite staterooms, EMERALD offers accommodation for up to 12 guests. Her sundeck is a highlight, complete with a Jacuzzi, wet bar, and extensive sunbathing areas. She has a large collection of water toys, offering something for every generation.
Charter rates for EMERALD start from $210,000 per week.
TE MANU | Codecasa | 49m | 612 GT
TE MANU is an excellent example of a pre-millennial Italian superyacht—a timeless classic that has been beautifully maintained. Accommodating 12 guests, TE MANU offers six staterooms, including a master’s suite, three doubles, and two twins. Accessibility is made easy with an elevator that services all decks.
Onboard TE MANU, conviviality takes precedence. Her social spaces are generous, her activities and amenities are plentiful, and her crew is extensive. TE MANU remains one of the most sought-after yachts available for charter.
Charter rates for TE MANU start from $196,000 per week.
GREYB | Sunreef | 24m | 137 GT
Sunreef Yachts is a true disruptor and a key player in the rise of multihulls. The popularity of catamarans has grown incredibly, and GREY B, launched just last year, is a prime example why.
GREYB is a 24m sailing yacht with the volume of a much larger motor yacht. With an impressive 11.5m beam and an open-plan layout, she has the look and feel of a penthouse apartment. Accommodating up to eight guests, who’ll be looked after by four crew, she offers an exceptional experience.
Charter rates for GREYB start from $80,000 per week.
