Bermuda Yacht Charter

Pink Sand, Pastel Towns, and 300 Shipwrecks Beneath the Waves

Bermuda is a tranquil island chain in the Atlantic, with a coastline of pink-sand beaches, picturesque coves, and rocky headlands, all lapped by crystal clear turquoise water. It is a short trip from the US East Coast, yet it feels like a world of its own, where history and nature sit side by side.

Most charters begin in the north, near the island’s only airport and the colonial town of St. George’s, a UNESCO listed harbor of candy-colored buildings and centuries-old forts. Sailing anti-clockwise leads to Hamilton, a lively capital with quaint streets, museums, and waterfront dining, before crossing the Great Sound to the historic Royal Naval Dockyard at the West End. Along the way, the pink sands of Horseshoe Bay and the twin coves of Chaplin Bay and Stonehole Bay set the scene, while Tobacco Bay is a favorite for snorkeling. Divers will find more than 300 shipwrecks resting in Bermuda’s waters, and the Crystal and Fantasy Caves add a subterranean wonder to explore ashore.

Compact, scenic, and rich in character, Bermuda packs beaches, history, and diving into a cruising ground small enough to enjoy at a leisurely pace.

Spend the afternoon browsing independent boutiques, discovering local art, or enjoying a leisurely lunch overlooking the water. Once aboard, settle into the yacht and enjoy your first evening with cocktails on deck as the harbor lights begin to shimmer.

DAY 2

Granaway Deep & Paradise Lakes

Leave the bustle of the capital behind and cruise toward Granaway Deep, a sheltered anchorage surrounded by wooded hills and scattered islands. Explore the network of calm waterways affectionately known as Paradise Lakes, where the coastline reveals quiet inlets and inviting spots for tender rides. Spend the afternoon swimming, enjoying the yacht's water toys, or relaxing in the sunshine with uninterrupted views of Bermuda's natural beauty. It's an easygoing introduction to the island's quieter side, with Hamilton still close enough for a spontaneous evening ashore.

DAY 3

Great Sound & Scaur Hill

Cruise into the Great Sound, a sweeping natural harbor framed by green hills and a scattering of small islands. Drop anchor near the wooded shoreline around Fort Scaur and spend the day making the most of the water, from paddleboarding and swimming to exploring the bays by tender. History lovers can venture ashore to discover Fort Scaur and its commanding views across the surrounding waterways. With generous open water and sheltered corners to explore, this is an ideal day to enjoy the yacht itself as much as the destination.

DAY 4

Royal Naval Dockyard

Step ashore at the Royal Naval Dockyard, a historic waterfront complex that once played an important role in Britain's naval presence in the Atlantic. Today, its restored stone buildings house museums, galleries, shops, and places to enjoy a relaxed meal beside the water. Visit the National Museum of Bermuda to explore the island's seafaring history, or browse local crafts before returning to the yacht. The Dockyard offers a fascinating contrast to Bermuda's secluded beaches, revealing the rich maritime heritage behind the island's enduring connection to the sea.

DAY 5

North Rock & The Cresent

Venture toward Bermuda's remarkable northern reef system, where shallow turquoise water stretches across a vast expanse of coral and limestone. In suitable weather and with the captain's guidance, explore designated reef areas by tender or join a snorkeling or diving excursion to discover colorful marine life and the island's fascinating underwater landscapes. Bermuda's surrounding reefs have long shaped its maritime story, with shipwrecks scattered throughout its waters. This is a day for curious explorers, offering an unforgettable look at the natural world that lies just beyond the island's shores.

Castle Harbor

Castle Harbour is a beautiful setting for a day devoted to relaxation and outdoor adventure. Its sheltered waters, rocky coves, and nearby beaches create an inviting backdrop for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring by tender. Spend the morning enjoying the water before heading ashore for a leisurely beach afternoon or a round of golf nearby. For a change of pace, indulge in a spa experience or enjoy a long lunch overlooking the coastline. As the light softens across the harbor, return to the yacht for a peaceful evening in one of Bermuda's most picturesque settings.

St. George's & Cooper's Island

Spend your final full day discovering Bermuda's eastern end, where centuries of history meet quiet natural beauty. In St. George's, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Bermuda's former capital, wander narrow lanes lined with historic buildings, browse local shops, and uncover stories of the island's early settlement. Later, explore Cooper's Island Nature Reserve, where walking trails pass coastal vegetation, salt marshes, and peaceful beaches. Keep an eye out for seabirds and other wildlife before returning to the yacht for a celebratory final dinner.
