The Caribbean with Maréa
One sea. Two very different ways to sail it.
The Caribbean rewards travellers who do not want every day decided in advance. In the British Virgin Islands, the islands sit close enough for easy, scenic passages between beaches, bays and small harbours. In Martinique, French-Caribbean culture meets dramatic coastline, protected anchorages and a natural gateway to longer West Indies cruising.
Maréa keeps the experience deliberately personal. We match the yacht to your group, help shape the pace of the itinerary and keep the practical details out of the way, so your time is spent on deck rather than organising logistics.
Choose a spacious catamaran for relaxed family cruising, a sailing yacht for a more traditional experience, or speak with our team about the right vessel for a celebration, honeymoon or private escape.
Choose your Caribbean
Two cruising grounds, each with its own rhythm
Start with the kind of days you want, then let the route follow.
Martinique
French-Caribbean character from the water
Begin around Le Marin and discover quiet anchorages, turquoise water and a coastline that makes it easy to mix sailing days with food, culture and unhurried time ashore.

Why charter here
Caribbean days are made for the water
Short passages, more time enjoying
Especially in the BVI, island-to-island sailing can be compact and scenic, leaving more of the day for swimming, lunch ashore and time at anchor.
Warm-water cruising
The Caribbean is built around life outdoors: open decks, clear water, snorkelling stops and evenings where dinner can begin straight from the swim platform.
A crew who keeps it effortless
With a professional crew looking after the yacht and the day-to-day details, you can keep the itinerary flexible without turning the holiday into a planning exercise.
When to go
Choose the season that suits your kind of charter
Conditions vary across the region. Martinique's tourism authority highlights December to May as its dry season, while the BVI is known for warm, consistent trade winds and year-round sailing. Our team can advise around your dates and route.
December to May
Classic Caribbean season
A particularly attractive window for Martinique, with the dry season bringing the conditions many charter guests look for.
June to November
Quieter, more changeable
Warmer and wetter conditions are possible, with tropical systems a consideration. Route and weather planning matter more.
BVI
Trade-wind sailing
The islands' maritime reputation is closely tied to warm, consistent winds and compact cruising between islands.

A week in the BVI
What seven unhurried days could feel like
An illustrative rhythm rather than a fixed itinerary. Your actual route is shaped around weather, preferences and the yacht.
Days 1-2
Arrive & settle in
Meet your crew, unpack once and ease into the first anchorage without trying to cover too much water.
Days 3-4
Island-hop
Short passages, swim stops and lunch ashore. Let the best part of the day decide when you move on.
Days 5-6
Go slower
Keep a favourite bay for longer, snorkel from the yacht or spend an afternoon doing almost nothing.
Day 7
One last horizon
A final morning on the water before returning refreshed rather than feeling as though you raced through a checklist.
Caribbean charter FAQs
Before you step aboard
Where does Maréa charter in the Caribbean?
The current Maréa destination collection focuses on the British Virgin Islands and Martinique, giving guests a choice between compact BVI island-hopping and French-Caribbean cruising from Martinique.
What is the best time for a Caribbean yacht charter?
For Martinique, December to May is the dry season and a popular sailing window. Conditions vary through the Caribbean, so the best timing depends on your dates, route and preferred style of charter.
Is a catamaran a good choice for families?
Yes. Catamarans are popular for family and group charters because they offer generous living space and stability. The right choice still depends on group size, budget and the type of experience you want.
Do I need sailing experience?
Not for a fully crewed Maréa charter. The professional crew handles the yacht, allowing you to enjoy the trip without needing to skipper the vessel yourself.
Can the itinerary be personalised?
Yes. The page is designed around a flexible, tailored charter model rather than a rigid package. Final routing will always need to take local conditions and operational requirements into account.
