Why we like her

MISCHIEVOUS takes 12 guests, and she has the deck space to carry them. There are sun loungers fore and aft, adjustable circular day beds on the flybridge, and a beach club built into the swim platform that stays shaded from the Caribbean sun.

SEAHOME II is where we look when eight berths are not enough. She sleeps 10 in two king and three queen cabins, and she is the only five-cabin yacht on this list with scuba onboard: a compressor and 10 sets of tanks, BCs and regulators.

Captain Eben Swart has chartered in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean for the last 10 years and once managed a sailing academy, and his guests write about how much he teaches them.

Tiff

Why we like her

ENCORE was built in 2026 at Sunreef's shipyard in Poland to a custom layout. The galley is open and sits at the heart of the yacht, the finishes are warm wood and natural stone, and the hydraulic swim platform becomes a terrace at sea level once the tender is launched. The flybridge has its own wet bar.

Captain Lené Conradie earned her Yachtmaster straight out of high school. First Mate Herman Bester has a degree in Sports Science and looks after guests on the water.

Why we like her

AEOLUS 77 won Best in Show, 60 feet and over, at the 2025 CYS Show, a year after finishing runner-up in the 61 feet and over class at the USVI VIPCA Show. She is a Lagoon SEVENTY 7 for eight guests, and the primary cabin stands out: a walk-in closet, its own lounge and a private sundeck.

She is also a dive boat. Captain Keith Allen is a scuba instructor who likes to teach guests at any level, and First Mate Christo Theron worked four years as a divemaster. Stewardess Chene Nel has placed in tablescape and cocktail competitions at the Antigua and USVI shows.

All-inclusive or plus expenses

Eight of these ten yachts are priced all-inclusive; CHILLAXIN and SOUTH are priced plus expenses. This is the difference, and what sits outside both.

All-inclusive

One weekly figure that covers the yacht, her crew, and the food, drinks and fuel for your week, with nothing to reconcile at the end. The figure rises with each guest you add. The eight catamarans on this list are priced this way.

Plus expenses

The weekly rate covers the yacht and her crew. Running costs such as food, drinks and fuel are paid from an Advance Provisioning Allowance, or APA, of 25 to 30 percent of the rate, which you fund before the charter. Whatever is not spent comes back to you at the end. CHILLAXIN and SOUTH are priced this way.

Outside both

Crew gratuity, customary at 10 to 20 percent of the charter fee and paid to the captain at the end of the trip. A yacht that relocates from the Virgin Islands may add a relocation fee: two on this list publish theirs, at $3,000. We send an itemized estimate before you sign, so you see the whole week first.

For the longer answers, see how all-inclusive pricing differs from APA and our guide to charter taxes and fees in the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

Premium holiday weeks may carry adjusted rates, and a yacht that relocates from the Virgin Islands may add a relocation fee.

Are these yachts based in St. Martin?

Most are not. SOUTH lists the Bahamas and St. Martin as her summer base and the Leeward Islands as her winter cruising area. CHILLAXIN's preferred pickup is Nassau, with the Leeward Islands among her cruising areas. The eight catamarans are Virgin Islands yachts that list the Leeward Islands, the chain that includes St. Martin and St. Barts, as a cruising area. Four of them publish their terms for the trip. SUN DAZE and Elysian each list a relocation fee of $3,000 and a minimum 72-hour turn on either side of the charter. MARIA THERESE lists pick-up and drop-off in the Leeward Islands with no delivery fees, depending on her bookings. AEOLUS 77 says she will relocate on request and to inquire for fees. For the others, ask us.

Which of these yachts are priced plus expenses?

Two: CHILLAXIN, a 90 foot Ocean Alexander, and SOUTH, a 180 foot Heesen. On those the weekly rate covers the yacht and her crew, and running costs such as food, drinks and fuel are paid from an APA of 25 to 30 percent of the rate, with the unused balance returned at the end. The eight catamarans are all-inclusive: one weekly figure covers the yacht, her crew, and the food, drinks and fuel for your week.

Is crew gratuity included in the rate?

No. Gratuity sits outside the rate on every yacht here, all-inclusive or not. It is customary at 10 to 20 percent of the charter fee and is paid to the captain at the end of the trip.

Which of these yachts is best for a large group?

MISCHIEVOUS takes 12 guests in five cabins and SOUTH takes 12 in six. SEAHOME II takes 10 guests in five cabins. The other seven yachts each take 8 guests in four cabins.

Which of these yachts have scuba diving on board?

SEAHOME II and AEOLUS 77 list scuba onboard, each with her own compressor and tanks, and SOUTH carries scuba gear with a Bauer compressor. SIETE MARES, SUN DAZE and Elysian list rendezvous diving. Ask us what diving is covered on the yacht you choose.

Can you charter a power catamaran in St. Martin and St. Barts?

Yes. Two of the ten are power catamarans: MARIA THERESE, a 68 foot Sunreef, and SIETE MARES, a 78 foot Lagoon whose rates are in euros. Each takes 8 guests in four cabins and is priced all-inclusive.
