Private Yacht Charters in Bermuda, Atlantic Ocean
Bermuda Yacht Charters: The Atlantic Ocean's Most Distinctive Island
Bermuda is not the Caribbean. That distinction matters to anyone who wants to understand what makes this island genuinely singular. A British Overseas Territory sitting 650 miles east of North Carolina in the North Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda is closer to New York and Boston than it is to any Caribbean island. The island rises from the ocean floor as the summit of an ancient volcanic seamount, its reef system one of the northernmost coral formations in the world and one of the most dramatically beautiful. Hamilton, the capital, sits on Hamilton Harbour, a sheltered deepwater port ringed by the pastel-painted buildings and British colonial architecture that define the island's character. The Great Sound, the large sheltered body of water west of Hamilton, is where Bermuda yacht charters find their most natural home. Protected on all sides by the island's reef and land mass, the Great Sound offers calm, clear, turquoise water in a setting that has no equivalent anywhere else in the Atlantic.
The water around Bermuda is extraordinary. The island is surrounded by the largest coral reef system in the North Atlantic, and the clarity of the water over the reef and throughout the Great Sound regularly reaches 100 feet on a calm day. The reef system has protected the island from the open Atlantic for centuries, creating a network of sheltered anchorages, hidden coves, and small uninhabited islands that reward exploration by private yacht. The South Shore, exposed to the Atlantic, produces Bermuda's famous pink sand beaches: Horseshoe Bay, Warwick Long Bay, and Elbow Beach, where the pink color comes from crushed pink coral and red foraminifera mixed into the white sand. Arriving at Horseshoe Bay by yacht, anchoring just offshore, and taking the tender to the beach before the day visitors arrive from the road is the finest way to experience what is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
The marine environment of Bermuda rewards snorkeling and swimming with encounters that are genuinely memorable. Church Bay on the South Shore is Bermuda's premier snorkel reef, a shallow system of coral formations in clear turquoise water where parrotfish, angelfish, sergeant majors, and sea turtles move through the coral in a setting that feels entirely undisturbed. Tobacco Bay near St. George's, at the island's eastern tip, is another outstanding snorkel location, with natural rock formations creating pools and channels filled with tropical fish. The reef systems around Bermuda protect a marine environment of exceptional health and diversity, and the water temperature, warming from 65 degrees in winter to 85 degrees at the height of summer, supports species assemblages found nowhere else at this latitude. Day Yacht Charters operates from Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in Hamilton, the premier charter base for the Great Sound.

With Day Yacht Charters Bermuda, you will have an experienced professional crew, thoughtfully prepared provisions, and a day on the water built around your group's preferences. Whether you are heading to Church Bay for a morning snorkel on the reef, cruising the Great Sound toward the Royal Naval Dockyard, or celebrating a milestone with fish chowder and rum swizzle at anchor in the most beautiful Atlantic harbour in the world, every moment of your Bermuda charter is designed to feel genuinely exceptional. Contact us today and let us help you build the perfect itinerary for your group.
Bermuda is a sophisticated travel destination with excellent hotels, world-class restaurants, the Bermuda Railway Trail for cycling, Crystal Caves for underground exploration, and the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse for panoramic views across the island and the Atlantic. All of that is available from shore. What a private yacht charter delivers is the Bermuda that most visitors never access: the Great Sound in the early morning before the ferry traffic builds, the South Shore pink sand beaches approached by tender before the road parking fills, the Royal Naval Dockyard arrived at by water with the full context of its Atlantic naval history around you, and the protected blue-green water of Hamilton Harbour at sunset seen from the deck of a professional charter yacht rather than from a waterfront restaurant table.
The Great Sound is calm, protected, and beautiful in a way that only becomes apparent once you are on it. The clarity of the water, the scale of the surrounding reef system, and the proximity of the Dockyard, the South Shore beaches, and the Church Bay reef to Royal Bermuda Yacht Club make Bermuda one of the most rewarding charter destinations in the Atlantic: a half-day departure from Hamilton Harbour can reach the Great Sound's western anchorages, pass the Dockyard, drop anchor off Horseshoe Bay for a swim, and return with a full morning's worth of genuinely exceptional experiences behind it.
For groups celebrating milestones or corporate events, Hamilton Harbour and the Great Sound provide a backdrop that no land-based venue can replicate. Fish chowder served aboard with black rum and sherry peppers in the traditional Bermudian style, rum swizzle poured cold as the Dockyard passes to starboard, the pink limestone architecture of Hamilton visible across the harbour water, and a crew dedicated to making every detail of your day feel effortless: this is the standard of a Day Yacht Charters Bermuda experience. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to start planning.
The protected waters of the Great Sound and the range of Bermuda charter destinations suit a broad selection of vessel types. Our Bermuda fleet is selected for the conditions and the itineraries that define a great day on this island's extraordinary water.
Motor yachts are among the most popular choices for Bermuda charters. Their speed allows a full-day itinerary to cover substantial ground: Church Bay reef snorkel in the morning, Horseshoe Bay beach stop at midday, Royal Naval Dockyard in the early afternoon, and a sunset return across the Great Sound to Hamilton Harbour. The covered salon on larger motor yachts provides comfortable shade and shelter during the passage, and the range of deck space allows groups to spread out comfortably for meals, swimming, and viewing the scenery.
Catamarans are a natural fit for Bermuda's shallow-water anchorages and beach approaches. The shallow draft allows them to anchor close to the South Shore beaches and to approach the Church Bay reef site from the best position. The wide deck platform provides exceptional space for groups, and the twin-hull stability makes catamarans a welcoming choice for guests who are new to yacht chartering. Sailing catamarans also take advantage of the reliable Atlantic winds that fill across the Great Sound and provide an exhilarating sail on any day when conditions allow.
Superyachts and larger crewed motor yachts are available for groups requiring multiple staterooms, full entertainment systems, and the kind of comprehensive service that comes with a complete crew complement. These vessels are ideal for corporate events, multi-generational family charters, milestone celebrations, and clients who want the most comprehensive luxury charter experience available in Bermuda. Call us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to discuss which vessel type best suits your group and your dates.
Please note that the yachts shown on our website may not always reflect the most current availability, as we do not have a dedicated web designer to update the listings. Some yachts may be unavailable for reasons such as being sold by the owner, undergoing maintenance, relocated, or already booked by another client. To see a complete and up-to-date list of yachts available for rent in Bermuda, we recommend contacting us directly. We can provide detailed information, including photos, pricing for day trips, and confirm the availability of any specific yacht.
Experience the Luxury of Bermuda Yacht Charters - Private Charters Available
A private VIP charter in Bermuda takes the already exceptional experience of cruising the Great Sound and elevates every element of it. From the moment your group boards at Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, the service is entirely focused on you. A private chef comes aboard with a menu crafted around your group's preferences and the finest Bermudian ingredients and traditions: fish chowder made with fresh local catch, finished with black rum and sherry peppers in the Bermudian style that has been perfected over centuries; Bermuda lobster when in season, prepared simply to honor the quality of the ingredient; a spread of fresh seafood, island fruit, and artisanal cheeses; and rum swizzle, Bermuda's most famous cocktail, poured cold as the marina slips away and the Great Sound opens ahead of you. The bar is fully stocked and the crew attends to every detail of service throughout the day. When you anchor off Horseshoe Bay for a swim in the turquoise Atlantic water, the chef prepares lunch in the galley below. When the sun drops toward the western horizon and Hamilton Harbour turns pink and gold in the late light, there is a rum swizzle in your hand and the only decision you need to make is how much longer you want to stay before the run back to the Yacht Club. VIP Bermuda charters can also include professional photography and videography capturing the Church Bay reef snorkel and the Great Sound scenery, custom floral arrangements, personalized birthday and anniversary presentations, themed event styling, and drone footage over the island and the pink sand beaches. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to build your perfect VIP charter day in Bermuda.
Bermuda offers some of the most accessible and visually spectacular snorkeling in the North Atlantic, made possible by the northernmost coral reef system in the world. The island's reef system, extending for miles in every direction, creates a protected marine environment of extraordinary clarity and biological richness that feels genuinely out of place at this latitude. Church Bay on the South Shore is the centerpiece of any snorkel-focused Bermuda charter. The bay's reef system begins in eight feet of clear turquoise water and extends to a gradual slope at about 25 feet, with visibility that reaches 40 to 100 feet depending on conditions. The coral formations include brain coral structures that have been growing for decades, sea fans swaying in the gentle Atlantic swell, and soft coral colonies in pink and lavender that give the reef a quality more associated with tropical Pacific waters than the North Atlantic. Parrotfish, angelfish, sergeant majors, yellowtail snapper, and the spotted trunkfish are regular residents, and sea turtles visit the bay with enough consistency that any charter with a Church Bay snorkel stop has a reasonable expectation of a turtle encounter. The water temperature at Church Bay ranges from 65 degrees Fahrenheit in winter to 85 degrees at the height of summer, making it comfortable for snorkeling across a longer season than any comparable reef in the Atlantic.
Tobacco Bay near St. George's, at the island's eastern tip, offers a completely different snorkeling environment that complements Church Bay beautifully. The bay is sheltered by natural rock formations that create pools and channels of exceptionally clear green water, with fish life concentrated in the channels between the rock columns. The setting at Tobacco Bay is dramatic and photogenic in a way that no other Bermuda snorkel site matches: the pale limestone formations rising from the water against the turquoise Atlantic background produce images that look more like a natural history film location than a real swimming spot. The fish at Tobacco Bay include species that are rarely seen at Church Bay, giving a two-site snorkel itinerary covering both locations a genuine diversity that rewards any guest with an interest in marine life. Arriving at Tobacco Bay by private charter, anchoring in the bay and snorkeling the formations before the ferry passengers and day visitors arrive, delivers the site at its most pristine and its most impressive.
The best snorkeling in Bermuda begins early. A morning departure from Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, arriving at Church Bay as the tide is still and the sun is low, means your group enters the water when visibility is at its daily peak and the reef fish are most active in the brightening light. The Church Bay reef, starting at the sand edge where sea grass gives way to the first coral formations and extending along the gradual slope, is the ideal starting point for guests of any snorkeling experience level. The shallow sections in eight feet of water are accessible to children and first-time snorkelers, while the outer slope provides more complex coral architecture and deeper water for experienced swimmers who want to push further into the reef. A private charter means anchoring directly over the best section of the reef without competing for mooring space or waiting for organized tour boats to position.
After Church Bay, a run east along the South Shore brings the charter past Horseshoe Bay for a beach stop before continuing to St. George's Harbour and Tobacco Bay for the second snorkel site of the day. The passage along the South Shore itself is one of the great short voyages in the Atlantic: the pink limestone cliffs, the turquoise water against the pink sand, the distant profile of the island's interior hills, and the complete absence of the overdevelopment that defines most coastal destinations in the western Atlantic combine to create a visual experience that guests consistently describe as the most beautiful coastal landscape they have seen anywhere in their travels. Snorkeling Tobacco Bay after Church Bay rounds out the full portrait of Bermuda's underwater world, covering both the reef system and the volcanic rock formations in two complementary environments within a single day's charter.
The offshore reef systems beyond Church Bay and Tobacco Bay provide additional snorkeling terrain for any charter guest who wants to explore beyond the established day-trip sites. The outer reef sections accessible by private charter, away from the organized tour routes, give snorkelers the experience of genuinely undisturbed reef in water clarity that approaches the theoretical maximum for Atlantic conditions. Bermuda's unique geography, a single island rising from deep water with its reef system acting as the only structure for miles in any direction, concentrates marine life on the reef in a way that deepwater ocean islands always do: every fish, turtle, and ray within range of the reef uses it, and the biomass on the outer sections of Church Bay and the offshore formations is substantially greater than anything accessible by shore-based snorkeling. A Day Yacht Charters Bermuda crew will know the current conditions and the best sites for the day, maximizing the quality of every snorkel stop on your itinerary.
The snorkeling around Bermuda benefits from the same conditions that make the Great Sound and Hamilton Harbour such compelling charter destinations. The island's reef system protects the nearshore waters from Atlantic swell, maintaining the visibility and calm that make snorkeling productive and enjoyable across a longer season and in a wider range of conditions than an exposed oceanic reef would allow. Year-round, the Church Bay reef and Tobacco Bay deliver clear, accessible, species-rich snorkeling in water that warms from late spring through early fall and remains swimmable throughout the winter for guests equipped with appropriate exposure protection. Snorkeling in Bermuda on a private charter is not a weather gamble: with the reef inside the island's protective barrier and a professional crew who knows the conditions, every snorkel stop on a Bermuda charter delivers exactly what it promises.
Bermuda occupies a unique position in the Atlantic world that no other island destination can claim. Located 650 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and approximately 1,000 miles from the nearest Caribbean island, Bermuda is genuinely a destination unto itself: neither Caribbean nor North American but a British Overseas Territory with its own distinct culture, climate, and character shaped by four centuries of Atlantic maritime history. The island is a British colony established in 1609 when the ship Sea Venture, carrying colonists to the Virginia settlement, was wrecked on Bermuda's reefs in the Atlantic. The survivors spent ten months on the island before building two smaller ships and continuing to Virginia, but what they found in Bermuda was extraordinary enough that the island was formally colonized the following year. That history, 400 years of continuous British presence on an island in the middle of the North Atlantic, has produced the architectural character, the cultural traditions, and the institutional life that make Bermuda unlike any destination in the Western Hemisphere.
Hamilton, the capital, is a city on a human scale that manages to feel both cosmopolitan and completely itself. Front Street along Hamilton Harbour is lined with the pastel-colored buildings that photographers have made iconic, their colors, pink, yellow, pale blue, and white, reflecting in the harbour water in a way that is more Venice than anything the Caribbean has ever produced. The Bermuda Parliament, one of the oldest in the Commonwealth, meets in the Sessions House on Reid Street, its distinctive pink limestone construction and neo-Italian tower overlooking the city's central hill. The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute on the waterfront brings the island's most extraordinary natural asset, its reef system and the ocean floor surrounding it, into a museum experience that rewards any charter guest with an afternoon to spend ashore. Walking Hamilton from the waterfront to the Botanical Gardens and back covers the island's capital in a way that leaves guests consistently surprised by how much character a city of 1,800 people can contain.
The Royal Naval Dockyard at the island's western tip is the most historically significant site in Bermuda and one of the most significant British naval installations ever built in the Americas. Construction began in 1809 and continued for decades, with the massive stone fortifications, the Commissioner's House, the Clocktower, and the covered dry docks built by a combination of Royal Navy labor, convict transportation from Britain, and enslaved people imported from the Caribbean colonies. The Dockyard was the operational base for the Royal Navy's North American and West Indies Station throughout the 19th century, providing repair, resupply, and strategic support for British naval operations across the entire Atlantic seaboard. The National Museum of Bermuda, housed in the Keep at the Dockyard's core, tells this history with maritime artifacts, ship models, and exhibits covering everything from the Sea Venture wreck to the island's role in both World Wars. Arriving at the Dockyard by charter yacht, tying up alongside the massive limestone walls, and walking into the museum complex through the original entrance gives the site a weight and presence that the tour bus approach cannot replicate.
The culinary culture of Bermuda is built on the island's relationship with the Atlantic and its centuries of British and African-influenced heritage. Fish chowder is the defining dish: a rich, deep soup made with local fish, tomatoes, and a complexity of flavors accumulated over long cooking, finished at the table with a splash of Gosling's Black Seal Rum and a dash of sherry peppers in the traditional Bermudian style. The combination of the rum and the pepper sauce transforms the chowder in a way that tastes impossible to replicate without those specific ingredients, and it is the first thing a Day Yacht Charters Bermuda crew prepares when the food service begins. Gosling's Black Seal Rum poured over ice with Barritt's Ginger Beer is Bermuda's official cocktail pairing, so specific and so beloved that both brands trademark their association with the combination. Rum swizzle, made with Gosling's Gold, orange juice, pineapple juice, falernum, bitters, and grenadine shaken over ice, is the island's other signature drink and the one that most visitors encounter first at a Bermuda charter experience. The Bermudian afternoon, a cold swizzle in hand, the Great Sound spread out ahead, the pink limestone hills of the northern shore visible across the water, the chef finishing the fish chowder below deck: this is what a Day Yacht Charters Bermuda experience delivers.
A typical full-day charter from Royal Bermuda Yacht Club follows a pattern that has refined itself over many successful Bermuda charter days. An early morning departure as the harbour is still quiet, a westward run across the Great Sound as the crew sets out breakfast and the Atlantic light builds over the eastern horizon, arrival at the Royal Naval Dockyard marina for a morning visit to the historic site and the National Museum. After the Dockyard, the passage south along the island's western shore brings the charter past Little Sound and out to the South Shore, where the Church Bay reef provides the midday snorkel stop in the clearest water of the day. After Church Bay, the run east along the South Shore passes Horseshoe Bay and Warwick Long Bay for a beach stop in water and sand of a quality that stops guests from returning to the boat on schedule. The afternoon moves at the group's pace: a long swim at Horseshoe Bay, a passage east toward St. George's for those who want to see the UNESCO town by water, or a leisurely return across the Great Sound to Hamilton with fish chowder served at anchor and rum swizzle poured as the light softens over the harbour. A sunset return to Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, arriving at the marina as the Front Street buildings glow in the evening light, concludes the day exactly as a Bermuda charter should end.
The Newport Bermuda Race, held every two years in June, brings the island's connection to Atlantic sailing into dramatic focus. One of the oldest and most prestigious offshore sailing races in the world, the Newport Bermuda Race has been contested since 1906 and covers 1,070 miles of open Atlantic from Newport, Rhode Island, to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club finish line in Hamilton Harbour. The fleet of 150 to 200 blue-water racing yachts arriving in Hamilton over the race finish weekend fills the harbour with sailing energy unlike anything seen there in the intervening two years. Arranging a Bermuda charter during the Newport race arrival week delivers not only the extraordinary water experience of the Great Sound but the once-every-two-years spectacle of watching blue-water ocean racers cross the finish line in Hamilton Harbour after 1,070 miles of Atlantic sailing. It is the kind of event that defines what it means to be a maritime destination, and Bermuda does it without self-consciousness, as a thing it simply is.
Day Yacht Charters maintains a carefully selected Bermuda fleet covering every group size and charter style. We do not overbook vessels or rush turnaround times between charters. Every boat goes out clean, properly provisioned, and crewed by people who genuinely care about the quality of your day on the water. Call +1 (305) 515-4735 or contact us online to check current availability and reserve the right vessel for your group and your dates. The Great Sound is waiting.
Bermuda is wonderful for yacht charters year-round, with each season offering its own distinct appeal. May through October is the warmest period, with water temperatures perfect for swimming and exploring the island's beaches and reefs. The summer months deliver the most sunshine and the calmest harbour conditions. April and November offer excellent sailing with mild temperatures and fewer visitors. Even the winter months from December through March are mild compared to the mainland, with pleasant sailing days that appeal to guests who prefer a quieter Bermuda experience.
Yes. Bermuda's famous pink sand beaches on the South Shore, including Horseshoe Bay, Warwick Long Bay, and Elbow Beach, are accessible by yacht anchor and tender. Arriving by private boat, you can anchor just offshore from Horseshoe Bay and take the tender directly to the sand without dealing with crowds or parking. The pink color of the sand comes from crushed coral and shell fragments and is striking in person. A Day Yacht Charters Bermuda itinerary can include a beach stop at your preferred South Shore location.
A typical Bermuda charter begins at Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in Hamilton, cruising west through the Great Sound toward the Royal Naval Dockyard on the island's western tip. Most itineraries include a stop at the Dockyard marina, a passage along the South Shore to anchor near Horseshoe Bay for a swim, and a snorkel stop at Church Bay reef. After a catered lunch aboard, the afternoon typically includes a leisurely cruise back through the Great Sound or a run east to St. George's UNESCO town. Sunset returns to Hamilton with the light reflecting off the water are consistently described by guests as the highlight.
We recommend booking four to six weeks ahead for most dates and two to three months ahead for the peak summer window from June through August and for holiday periods. Bermuda is a small island with limited marina capacity, and quality charter vessels are in high demand during the warm months. Call us at +1 (305) 515-4735 and we will check current availability and match you with the right vessel for your group size and preferred dates.
Yes. All Day Yacht Charters Bermuda charters include food and beverages prepared and served aboard by the crew.

Bermuda: A Premier Atlantic Destination for Yacht Charters
Bermuda draws visitors from across North America, Europe, and the wider Atlantic world who come for a combination of qualities that no other Atlantic island can match: the famous pink sand beaches of the South Shore, the extraordinary clarity of the Great Sound water, the British colonial heritage of Hamilton and the Royal Naval Dockyard, the UNESCO-recognized historic town of St. George's, and the pastel-painted architecture that makes Bermuda instantly recognizable in any photograph. Day Yacht Charters has built our Bermuda operation around matching guests to the right vessels and designing itineraries that capture the best the island offers from the water, whether that means a reef snorkel at Church Bay in the morning, a beach stop at Horseshoe Bay at midday, or a sunset cruise back across the Great Sound with rum swizzle in hand as Hamilton Harbour turns gold in the evening light.

Private Chef Excellence
Bermuda's culinary traditions are built on the island's relationship with the Atlantic and its centuries of British-Caribbean heritage. Fish chowder made with local catch and finished with black rum and sherry peppers in the Bermudian style is the dish that defines the island's cuisine, a preparation that has no direct parallel anywhere else in the Atlantic. Bermuda lobster in season, freshly caught wahoo and rockfish, and the island's distinctive black rum poured over ice with Barritt's Ginger Beer in Bermuda's most iconic combination: these are the flavors that a private chef brings aboard a Bermuda charter. Every menu is customized around your group's preferences and dietary requirements. Call us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to arrange a chef for your charter day.
Photo and Video Services
Bermuda gives a professional photographer an extraordinary working environment. The pink sand beaches framed by pink limestone cliffs and turquoise Atlantic water, the pastel architecture of Hamilton seen from the harbour, the coral formations at Church Bay filmed through crystal-clear water, and the lifestyle photography opportunities aboard a luxury yacht with the Great Sound as backdrop: these are the images that define the island for the guests who experience it properly. Drone footage over Horseshoe Bay, underwater photography during the reef snorkel, and cinematic full-day highlight reels are all available. Contact us when booking to arrange photography and videography services.
Decorations and Add-Ons
Celebrate your milestone with the Great Sound and the pink limestone skyline of Hamilton as your backdrop. Custom floral arrangements, personalized banners, champagne on arrival at the Yacht Club dock, birthday cake presentation at anchor in the Great Sound, anniversary packages, bachelorette party styling, and themed table settings are all available for any Bermuda charter. Every decoration is installed and ready before your group boards, so you arrive to a boat that already looks exactly like the celebration you planned. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to discuss your event details and we will take care of every arrangement.
Horseshoe Bay and the South Shore Pink Sand Beaches
Bermuda's South Shore pink sand beaches are among the most celebrated in the world, and arriving at Horseshoe Bay by private yacht is the finest way to experience them. Anchor just offshore, take the tender to the sand, and walk the pink crescent before the road access crowds arrive. Warwick Long Bay and Elbow Beach offer the same distinctive pink sand in a quieter setting further along the South Shore. Combined with the Church Bay reef snorkel and the Great Sound cruise, the South Shore beach stop makes a Bermuda charter the complete Atlantic island experience. Contact us to plan your South Shore charter itinerary.

Planning Your Bermuda Yacht Charter
Bermuda is one of the most accessible Atlantic destinations for North American travelers. L.F. Wade International Airport (IATA: BDA) receives direct flights from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami, Toronto, and London, with service from American Airlines, Delta, United, JetBlue, Air Canada, and British Airways. The airport is located on the eastern end of the island, and the drive to Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in Hamilton takes approximately 30 minutes. Taxi and minibus transfer services are readily available from the airport, and the Hamilton waterfront is easily navigated on arrival. Bermuda uses the Bermuda dollar, which is pegged at par with the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted everywhere on the island.
Charter durations in Bermuda typically run from a half-day of four hours up to a full day of eight hours. Even a four-hour charter out of Royal Bermuda Yacht Club gives you time to cruise across the Great Sound to the Royal Naval Dockyard, anchor for a swim in the protected harbour, and return with a full and genuinely memorable morning behind you. A full day opens up the complete Bermuda itinerary: Great Sound and Dockyard in the morning, Church Bay reef snorkel at midday, Horseshoe Bay beach stop in the early afternoon, and a sunset cruise back to Hamilton Harbour as the island lights up in the evening. Overnight and extended charters can be arranged for groups who want to explore the full circumference of the island or visit St. George's UNESCO town by water.
Payment options include credit card, PayPal, Zelle, and bank wire. A deposit secures your vessel and date, with the balance due on charter day. Crew gratuity, typically 15 to 20 percent of the charter fee, is customarily paid in cash on charter day and is separate from the charter price.
