The price of a sailboat rental in the Caribbean will depend on a number of factors. Firstly, the price will differ depending on where exactly you’re looking to charter within the Caribbean region, as some islands are more expensive than others. Other factors that will affect the price are the size and type of sailboat, the amenities included on board, the time of year and the number of passengers. On average, the price of a sailboat is €4,000/week for 12 people on board.
For optimal sailing weather, you should embark on a sailing excursion in the Caribbean between December and April. During this time the weather will be dry and sunny, with clear skies. It’s the perfect destination to escape the cold winter, with average high temperatures of 28°C! The water will also be calm, which makes for smooth sailing. However, you should know that this is the high tourist season in this region, which means that the prices of sailboat rentals will be higher, and it will be more crowded. For slightly lower prices and fewer crowds, we recommend visiting in November or May. It will be a bit rainier, but drier than the islands’ wet season!
If you’re wondering whether you should rent a sailboat with or without a skipper, you must consider that sailboats are unstable vessels and they tend to sway on the water. Because of this, they can be difficult to navigate. Even if you have a sailing licence, we recommend having a skipper on board for maximum safety and easy sailing. Skippers are expert sailors who know everything about the nautical world, and they will handle all of the sailing logistics so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Skippers will help you see everything on your sailing itinerary in the Caribbean, and give you some recommendations about where to go and what to do. For the best holiday possible, sail in the safe hands of a skipper!
