Jamaica Yacht Charter

Home to a diverse mixture of high-end luxury and individual rustic charm, Jamaica has long been luring superyacht guests to its flawless beaches, imposing mountains and unique rocky coasts. There are many sides to this charismatic island, from an oasis of relaxation to a wonderland of tropical forests.

Jamaica is the Caribbean’s third largest island and it is endowed with a deep sense of culture, charging it with an energetic spirit that makes it one of the most exciting and lively destinations in the region. Combining excellent adventure sports with indulgent spas and world-class golfing facilities, Jamaica draws superyacht travellers to its shores time and time again.

Jamaica’s marinas and yachting facilities have been benefited from the significant improvements of late, making Jamaica now an even more attractive port of call.  While there are several marinas you may consider, the three recommended ones are the Port Antonio, Montego Bay Yacht Club and Royal Jamaica Yacht Club, that being said, anchoring anywhere in Jamaica should be easy thanks to the seabed which is usually turtlegrass and sand.

An activity-lover’s paradise, Jamaica’s brilliant beachfront offers an enviable choice of watersports, from kayaking and kitesurfing to deep-sea fishing and diving. Thanks to its 350 miles of coastline, it is an increasingly popular Caribbean yachting destination.

The different parts of Jamaica are all beautiful in their own right, with Montego Ba, nicknamed the ‘Hip Strip’, probably the most well-known thanks to its abundance of luxury resorts. The other areas should not be neglected however, for instance, Kingston is the home of grand architecture and Jamaica’s government and Ocho Rios is absolutely stunning thanks to its natural waterfalls, rivers and beaches.

For those not content to relax on deck or on the glorious beaches, an abundance of tropical fish, bright coral and warm, clear waters make scuba diving in Jamaica particularly exceptional. The reefs in Negril Marine Park, the Throne Room and Shark Reef all come highly recommended, as do the man-made sunken shipreef in Ocho Rios and the famous Widowmaker’s Cave. The Montego Bay Marine Park was created in 1990 to help protect treasures such as these.

The result of its so many colonists and immigrants is an incredibly rich culture and vibrant people, with the language and cuisine showcasing a spicy mix of many different ethnicities.
