Discover an ambitious Caribbean cruising experience aboard a magnificent 62-metre Oceanco yacht, beginning from the established charter hub of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Designed for up to 10 guests and supported by a professional crew of 15, this fully crewed 12-day voyage brings together refined onboard living, personalised hospitality, offshore passage-making and an extraordinary collection of island destinations. From the sheltered bays of the Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands and the southern Caribbean, the itinerary is created for guests who want to experience substantially more than a conventional single-region charter.
Tortola provides an excellent starting point for this extensive private yacht charter. Modern marina infrastructure, secure berthing, accessible transport connections and experienced marine services help make embarkation efficient and comfortable. Once welcomed aboard, guests can settle into their suites, meet the crew and become familiar with the yacht's impressive entertainment, wellness and outdoor living areas before the route unfolds across some of the Caribbean's most recognisable cruising grounds.
Exploring the Northern Caribbean and Island Chains
This 12-day itinerary combines relaxed coastal cruising with longer offshore passages, creating a varied experience for guests who appreciate both destination discovery and time at sea. The route incorporates sheltered anchorages, celebrated marinas, secluded beaches, cultural towns, volcanic islands and blue-water crossings. The professional crew coordinates navigation, guest services, onboard dining, housekeeping and destination arrangements, allowing everyone to enjoy the journey without managing the operational details.
As this is a broad multi-region itinerary, the precise route will be reviewed according to weather, sea conditions, customs and immigration procedures, harbour access, local regulations and the captain's professional assessment. Stops may be adjusted to protect guest comfort and maintain a safe, enjoyable charter while preserving the overall character of the voyage.
Day 1 - Tortola to Norman Island
Your charter begins in Tortola with a relaxed welcome, yacht orientation and introduction to the crew. After departure, enjoy a short coastal cruise toward Norman Island through the protected waters of the British Virgin Islands. The gentle first leg provides time to settle into life onboard, swim in clear bays and snorkel near sheltered coves. Guests may spend the afternoon relaxing beside the heated pool, unwinding on the sunpads or enjoying refreshments at anchor before a private dinner beneath the Caribbean sky.
Day 2 - Norman Island to St John
Continue toward St John in the United States Virgin Islands, crossing scenic channels shaped by steady trade winds. Depending on local conditions, the yacht may anchor near Cruz Bay, Francis Bay or another protected location selected by the captain. Spend time swimming, exploring powder-soft beaches or walking through tropical surroundings ashore. Returning onboard, enjoy sunset drinks, personalised dining and a peaceful evening framed by the island's green hills and calm coastal waters.
Day 3 - St John to Puerto Rico
The route continues west toward Puerto Rico, with possible arrival near Vieques, Culebra or Fajardo. These eastern cruising areas are known for coral reefs, mangrove-lined coastlines and quieter beaches away from the busiest urban centres. Guests can enjoy a mixture of water activities and shore exploration before returning to the yacht for an elegant evening. A protected anchorage or marina berth provides a comfortable base while the crew prepares for the longer passage ahead.
Day 4 - Offshore Passage Toward the Bahamas
Today introduces a substantial blue-water passage from Puerto Rico toward the Bahamas. The journey gives guests an authentic sense of ocean cruising while the yacht's experienced bridge and technical teams manage navigation, watchkeeping and weather routing. Spend the day enjoying panoramic sea views from the observation lounge, exercising in the onboard gym or relaxing in the Jacuzzi. Dolphin encounters and dramatic sunsets may enhance the passage as the yacht continues toward the southern Bahamian approaches.
Day 5 - The Bahamas and Exuma Cays
Arrive among the luminous waters of the Bahamas, with routing shaped around the Exuma Cays, Nassau region or another suitable cruising area. Shallow lagoons, pale sandbars and exceptionally transparent water create an ideal environment for swimming, snorkelling and tender exploration. Guests can move between remote cays, relax on uncrowded beaches or enjoy lunch served on deck. The contrast between deep-blue channels and bright turquoise shallows makes this one of the itinerary's most visually memorable stages.
Day 6 - Southbound Passage Toward Puerto Rico
Depart the Bahamas and begin the southbound transition toward Puerto Rico and the northeastern Caribbean. This extended sailing leg is carefully planned around favourable weather and sea conditions. While the crew manages navigation and passage logistics, guests can enjoy the yacht's spacious social areas, private suites and wellness facilities. Fine dining, uninterrupted ocean views and attentive service transform a long-distance transfer into a comfortable and rewarding part of the overall charter experience.
Day 7 - St Martin and Anguilla
Reach the northern Leeward Islands and enjoy a contrasting combination of St Martin or Sint Maarten and nearby Anguilla. St Martin offers French and Dutch influences, lively waterfront areas, premium dining and well-equipped marinas, while Anguilla is celebrated for quieter beaches and clear, shallow bays. Guests may divide the day between coastal exploration, swimming, beach visits and relaxed dining ashore before returning to the yacht for a tranquil night at anchor.
Day 8 - Antigua
Continue south to Antigua, one of the Caribbean's most prestigious sailing centres. English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour combine historic maritime character with contemporary yachting facilities. A visit to Nelson's Dockyard, nearby viewpoints or the island's celebrated beaches can be incorporated according to guest interests. The stop also provides an opportunity for provisioning and destination services before the yacht proceeds through the increasingly dramatic landscapes of the eastern Caribbean.
Day 9 - Guadeloupe and Dominica
Sail through the French Caribbean toward Guadeloupe and the lush coastline of Dominica. Guadeloupe offers attractive villages, French-influenced cuisine and volcanic scenery, while Dominica is recognised for rainforest-covered mountains, rivers, waterfalls and a quieter natural atmosphere. Guests may enjoy a guided shore excursion, scenic tender cruise or relaxed afternoon in a secluded anchorage. This stage introduces some of the most verdant and visually powerful destinations included in the itinerary.
Day 10 - Martinique and St Lucia
The voyage continues through the Windward Islands toward Martinique and St Lucia. Martinique combines sophisticated marina services, French Caribbean culture and attractive coastal towns, while St Lucia presents a more dramatic profile dominated by its famous Pitons. Cruise along volcanic coastlines, swim beneath steep green hills or explore local communities ashore. The yacht's flexible operation allows the day to balance active discovery with unhurried relaxation in a protected bay.
Day 11 - St Vincent, Bequia, Tobago Cays and Grenada
Move south through St Vincent and the Grenadines, one of the Caribbean's finest island-hopping regions. Possible highlights include Bequia, the protected waters of Tobago Cays and secluded anchorages surrounded by reefs and turquoise lagoons. Guests may snorkel among marine life, swim from the yacht's platform or explore by tender. The route then progresses toward Grenada, where spice-scented hills, colourful waterfronts and a distinctive southern Caribbean atmosphere offer another rewarding change of character.
Day 12 - Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago
The final stage extends toward Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, subject to the captain's routing and available passage time. This concluding leg delivers further offshore cruising and a sense of achievement after travelling through several Caribbean regions. Barbados introduces Atlantic-facing scenery and lively island culture, while Trinidad and Tobago brings mangrove coastlines, sheltered bays and strong maritime traditions. Disembarkation arrangements are coordinated in advance according to the final agreed destination and operational plan.
Aboard the 62-Metre Oceanco Yacht
The yacht provides an exceptional platform for a voyage of this scale. Built by the internationally respected Oceanco shipyard, the 62-metre vessel combines commanding exterior lines with sophisticated interiors, generous deck areas and a layout designed for elegant private cruising. Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests in five beautifully appointed cabins, including an impressive full-deck owner's suite that delivers increased privacy, generous proportions and a refined retreat from the yacht's shared social areas.
Expansive glazing draws natural light into the interior and opens panoramic views across the surrounding seascape. Comfortable lounges, elegant dining areas and thoughtfully arranged relaxation zones allow guests to move easily between formal occasions and informal family time. The yacht's Steinway grand piano adds a distinctive focal point to the onboard atmosphere, whether used for private performances, evening entertainment or simply appreciated as part of the sophisticated interior design.
Outdoor spaces are equally impressive. Guests can enjoy a heated pool, broad sunpads, a deck Jacuzzi, open-air dining and multiple areas for socialising or relaxing in privacy. A panoramic observation lounge offers a privileged setting for watching island approaches and offshore sunsets, while the swimming platform provides convenient access to the sea, tenders and water-based activities. A well-equipped gym supports guests who wish to maintain their fitness routine throughout the charter.
Starlink connectivity and Wi-Fi help guests remain connected when required, while advanced stabilisation systems enhance comfort both underway and at anchor. The professional crew of 15 manages navigation, engineering, housekeeping, guest service, cuisine and concierge arrangements with discretion. Their high crew-to-guest ratio enables attentive service without compromising privacy, creating an environment where preferences can be remembered and daily experiences adapted around the people onboard.
A Remarkable Caribbean Voyage for Ten Guests
This itinerary stands apart through its geographic reach, the quality of its yacht and the depth of service provided throughout the journey. Rather than remaining within a single island group, guests can experience the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Leeward destinations, Windward landscapes and southern Caribbean cultures during one carefully coordinated private voyage. The result is suited to families, groups of friends and corporate guests seeking an exclusive and genuinely varied cruising experience.
Availability for an Oceanco yacht of this calibre is naturally limited, particularly during the Caribbean's most desirable charter periods. Reserving early allows sufficient time to refine the route, coordinate embarkation and disembarkation arrangements, review guest preferences and prepare personalised dining, activities and shore experiences. Secure your preferred dates and begin planning a Caribbean journey defined by exceptional space, professional hospitality and memorable destinations.
