Yacht Charter Anguilla

Anguilla is a British overseas territory located in the Caribbean. It is situated in the northern part of the Leeward Islands, which are part of the Lesser Antilles. Anguilla lies east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and north of Saint Martin. It consists of the main island of Anguilla and several smaller islands and cays. Its stunning natural beauty, picture perfect beaches, crystal clear waters, and fabulous marine life make it a popular Caribbean yacht charter destination.

As a lesser-known yacht charter destination, Anguilla offers a low-key and less crowded experience than more popular Caribbean ports of call, yet it still offers plenty of refined experiences and world-class service providers, including lavish resorts and spas. As a smaller Caribbean nation, it’s possible to include Anguilla in a wider Caribbean yacht charter itinerary, for example, with St. Martin, St. Barths, the US or British Virgin Islands, or St. Kitts and Nevis. Anguilla offers everything you would expect from a Caribbean vacation, including incredible beaches, stunning underwater marine life, crystal-clear waters, and lush tropical interiors.

Anguilla may be one of the smaller island nations – it measures just 16 miles from one end to the other – in the Caribbean, but this British Overseas Territory still offers plenty of things to see and do. Here’s just a small selection of some of the best things to do when you visit Anguilla on a luxury yacht rental:

• Enjoy fine dining at one of Anguilla’s many restaurants. Anguilla is known for its superb selection of refined restaurants. Some of the best include Da’ Vidas on Crocus Bay, Blanchards, and Jacala Beach Restaurant on Mead’sBay.
• Soak up the sun on one of Anguilla’s many white sandy beaches. Shoal Bay East, Meads Bay, and Rendezvous Bay are considered among the island’s most picturesque. Have your private yacht charter crew prepare an incredible beach set-up for you with a delicious picnic or BBQ right on the beach.
• Cruise to one of Anguilla’s many off-shore cays, including Scrub Island, Prickly Pear, and Sandy Island. Enjoy lunch and a handcrafted cocktail at one of the island’s picturesque beach bars, or sink under the waves and explore the many coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life.
• Explore the island of Anguilla by renting a Moke. These fun cars are a great way to get around the island and are an iconic mode of transportation.
• Climb Crocus Hill, the highest point in Anguilla at 240 ft, and be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the island and the Caribbean Sea.
• Play a round of golf at the world-class Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club. This Greg Norman-designed 18-hole championship golf course boasts spectacular sea views.
• Dive the wreck of the Spanish galleon, El Buen Consejo, an 18th-century wreck. The site has been designated an underwater archaeological preserve and is filled with marine life and fascinating relics, including canon balls and religious medallions.
• Explore Anguilla’s vibrant capital, The Valley. Browse the local boutiques and enjoy local Caribbean cuisine at one of the many eateries. A must-try are conch fritters or the fresh catch of the day.
• Sink beneath the waves and explore the stunning marine life, including leatherback, green and hawksbill turtles.

December to April is considered the best time to visit Anguilla, when the weather is typically dry with warm temperatures and low humidity. The sea is also calm during these months, making it the ideal time to use all your private yacht charter’s water toys and tenders. Anguilla’s hurricane season runs from June to November. While it is still possible to charter a luxury yacht during these months, it’s important to keep an eye on the weather. During the hurricane season, there is also a higher chance of rain, and the weather is often more humid.

There are currently no dedicated superyacht marinas in Anguilla, which means luxury private yachts must anchor off-shore and use their tenders to embark guests. Sandy Ground is the principal anchorage in Anguilla and is a popular embarkation destination for luxury yacht charters. Some Anguilla yacht charters will start in nearby Caribbean islands that offer anchorages and quick international transfers to the US, such as the island of St. Martin, which is just a short cruise away.

The cost of an Anguilla yacht rental typically starts at around US$50,000 per week for a 30-meter plus crewed yacht and goes up to more than $1 million for the world’s finest superyachts.
