12-Day Crewed Codecasa 62m Luxury Yacht Charter from Tortola Through the Northern, Eastern and Southern Caribbean for Up to 18 Guests
A remarkable twelve-day luxury yacht charter from Tortola Marina offers an opportunity to experience several contrasting regions of the Caribbean within one ambitious private voyage. Beginning in the British Virgin Islands, the itinerary combines protected island cruising, prestigious marina destinations, tropical anchorages and extended offshore passages across the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands and the southern Caribbean. This extensive route is ideally suited to experienced charter guests, adventurous families, private groups and corporate travellers looking for far more than a conventional island-hopping holiday.
Tortola provides a highly practical and welcoming point of departure, with modern marina infrastructure, secure berthing, efficient boarding arrangements and convenient international access. From the moment guests arrive, embarkation is professionally coordinated to create a comfortable transition into life onboard. Luggage assistance, cabin orientation, itinerary discussions and personalised service arrangements can all be handled before departure, allowing the charter to begin in an organised and relaxed manner.
This is a fully crewed experience supported by a professional team of seventeen. The crew manages navigation, hospitality, housekeeping, dining service, technical operations, tender transfers and daily guest arrangements. Charter details may be adapted around individual preferences, including dining styles, celebration requirements, onboard entertainment, shore excursions and preferred levels of privacy. Because this itinerary includes substantial distances and open-water navigation, the final route, sequence of ports and duration of individual passages remain subject to weather, sea conditions, port clearances and the captain's professional assessment.
About Our 12-Day Caribbean Charter Service
The programme combines relaxed coastal exploration with demanding blue-water passages. Guests can enjoy quiet mornings in sheltered bays, afternoons swimming or snorkelling, sophisticated evenings in established yachting centres and memorable nights travelling under open skies. Each destination introduces a different character, from the beaches and marine parks of the Virgin Islands to the shallow turquoise banks of the Bahamas and the mountainous coastlines of the eastern Caribbean.
Day 1 - Tortola to Norman Island: Your charter begins at Tortola Marina with a professional welcome and introduction to the yacht. After departure, the yacht follows a short coastal route toward Norman Island, allowing guests to settle into their suites and become familiar with the onboard spaces. Sheltered bays provide excellent conditions for swimming and snorkelling before the yacht anchors for a peaceful first evening. The crew uses this opening leg to finalise guest preferences and prepare for the longer passages ahead.
Day 2 - Norman Island to St John: The yacht crosses toward St John in the US Virgin Islands, following channels shaped by steady Caribbean trade winds. Depending on local conditions and clearance requirements, the yacht may approach Cruz Bay, Francis Bay or another suitable anchorage. Guests can spend time on the beach, explore walking trails, swim from the yacht or relax on deck. Evening dining may be served alfresco while the surrounding islands create a beautiful natural backdrop.
Day 3 - St John to Puerto Rico: Continuing west, the yacht approaches Puerto Rico's eastern cruising grounds near Fajardo, Vieques or another suitable coastal stop. The region is known for reefs, mangrove environments, calm beaches and a distinctive blend of island culture and modern marina services. Guests may enjoy a tender excursion, coastal sightseeing or time ashore before returning to the yacht for dinner and an overnight stay in a protected marina or anchorage.
Day 4 - Offshore Passage Toward the Bahamas: A longer navigation leg begins as the yacht leaves Puerto Rican waters and proceeds toward the Bahamas. This passage introduces the open-ocean dimension of the itinerary, with extended views, rolling Atlantic conditions and the possibility of observing dolphins or other marine life. The yacht's experienced bridge and deck teams manage routing, weather monitoring and guest comfort throughout the passage. Guests can use the day to enjoy the lounges, gym, entertainment facilities and outdoor relaxation areas.
Day 5 - The Bahamas and Exuma Cays: Arrival in the Bahamian cruising grounds reveals pale sandbanks, shallow lagoons and exceptionally clear water. Depending on routing and passage progress, the yacht may visit the Exuma Cays, Nassau region or another suitable island group. Swimming, snorkelling, tender exploration and quiet time on remote beaches can be incorporated into the day. The yacht's generous outdoor decks provide an excellent platform for appreciating the wide horizons and changing shades of blue.
Day 6 - Southbound Offshore Passage: The yacht begins an extended south-easterly passage back toward the northeastern Caribbean. This is an important navigation day involving continual weather assessment, passage management and careful route planning. Guests remain fully supported by the crew and can enjoy the yacht's interior and exterior amenities while travelling between island groups. Meals and onboard activities are arranged around sea conditions to ensure comfort during the longer transit.
Day 7 - St Martin and Anguilla: The route reaches the St Martin and Anguilla area, where short distances connect sophisticated marinas, quiet bays and celebrated beaches. Guests may experience the French and Dutch sides of St Martin, visit a waterfront restaurant, explore a beach club or cross by tender to a sheltered anchorage. Anguilla introduces a more tranquil atmosphere, with pale beaches and clear water providing an ideal setting for swimming and relaxation after the offshore passage.
Day 8 - Antigua: Sailing south, the yacht enters Antigua's internationally recognised cruising grounds. English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour are among the possible stops, offering historic surroundings, established marina services and a lively nautical atmosphere. Guests may tour Nelson's Dockyard, dine ashore, browse local shops or simply enjoy the yacht's facilities while overlooking one of the Caribbean's most distinguished natural harbours.
Day 9 - Guadeloupe and Dominica: This stage introduces increasingly dramatic volcanic scenery. Guadeloupe combines French Caribbean character with rainforest-covered interiors, coastal settlements and sheltered anchorages. Continuing toward Dominica, guests encounter an island celebrated for mountains, waterfalls, rivers and unspoilt natural landscapes. Subject to timing, the day may include a guided nature excursion, village visit, waterfall experience or quiet anchorage surrounded by dense tropical vegetation.
Day 10 - Martinique and St Lucia: The yacht proceeds through the Windward Islands toward Martinique and St Lucia. Martinique offers refined marina facilities, French-influenced cuisine and attractive coastal towns, while St Lucia is defined by its striking mountainous shoreline and the famous Pitons. Cruising between these islands creates a balance of cultural discovery, scenic navigation and comfortable onboard living. Guests may swim near a protected bay, explore ashore or enjoy sunset drinks from the upper decks.
Day 11 - St Vincent, the Grenadines and Grenada: The charter continues through one of the Caribbean's most admired island chains. Potential highlights include Bequia, the Tobago Cays, secluded Grenadine anchorages and the approaches to Grenada. Coral reefs, turtle-rich waters, small communities and compact island distances make this region particularly rewarding. The day may include snorkelling, tender excursions, beach visits and a final relaxed lunch before the yacht proceeds farther south.
Day 12 - Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago: The concluding stage is designed around longer open-water navigation toward Barbados and the southern Caribbean. Subject to the final operational plan, guests may experience the maritime character of Barbados before proceeding toward Trinidad and Tobago. Stronger ocean conditions and greater distances make this a genuine expedition-style conclusion. Arrival in the southern Caribbean completes an extraordinary journey through multiple island cultures, cruising environments and geographical regions.

Advanced stabilisation systems contribute to improved comfort both underway and at anchor. Two luxury tenders support guest transfers, coastal exploration and access to bays or beaches that cannot accommodate a yacht of this size. Combined with the attention of seventeen professional crew members, these amenities make the yacht particularly well suited to a complex itinerary requiring high operational standards and dependable service.
An Exceptional Way to Experience Multiple Caribbean Regions
This charter stands apart through its geographical scale, exceptional crew support and combination of sophisticated luxury with genuine passage-making.

For guests seeking an ambitious Caribbean voyage aboard a substantial Italian-built yacht, this twelve-day programme offers an exceptional platform for creating lasting memories.
