What plug type do Caribbean charter yachts use?
Caribbean charter yachts run US-standard Type A and Type B outlets at 110V, 60Hz — the same plug a guest’s US devices use, no adapter needed. Yachts flagged in the US, BVI, USVI, the Bahamas, St. Martin, and most other Caribbean nations standardize on the US electrical system because the operational and crew-training pipeline runs through US ports. Mediterranean yachts that winter in the Caribbean sometimes carry Type C/F outlets as well, but the US Type A/B is universal in the islands. The yacht’s inverter handles the load while at anchor; the generator runs to recharge batteries and run heavy draw items like AC and the watermaker. Cabin outlets, salon outlets, and the helm station all accept US plugs. Caribbean charter electrics follow US norms.
