Few experiences in life compare to the freedom and exhilaration of sailing through the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. If you’re in the market for a Caribbean sailing charter, Horizon Yacht Charters offers an exceptional range of yachting options in two of the most breathtaking sailing destinations: the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and St. Vincent & the Grenadines (SVG). Whether you’re looking to embark on a luxurious crewed yacht, enjoying the freedom of a bareboat charter, learning to sail or exploring yacht ownership opportunities, Horizon has something tailored for every sailing enthusiast.
Who is Horizon Yacht Charters?
Horizon was established in Nanny Cay, Tortola, BVI, in 1998. It remains under the steer of co-founder, Andrew Thompson, whose early career in the financial markets and mega yacht industry helped lay the cornerstones of the business. Built on the principles of excellence, value for money and a commitment to providing high-quality yachts and top-tier customer service, Horizon is a preferred choice among sailors worldwide. With bases in both the BVI and St Vincent & the Grenadines, it is the largest independent yacht sales and charter company in the Caribbean.
The Ultimate Caribbean Sailing Experience
The BVI is renowned for its sheltered waters, consistent trade winds, and an abundance of idyllic anchorages. It is the perfect destination for both novice and experienced sailors seeking an accessible and enjoyable cruising ground. Meanwhile, St. Vincent & the Grenadines offer a more adventurous sailing experience, with secluded bays, pristine beaches, and a rich cultural heritage.
A Fleet Designed for Every Need
The rigorous maintenance schedule guaranteed to its yacht owners means the Horizon Yacht Charters fleet is undeniably in prime shape, so that whatever type of yacht is sought — from a 34-foot monohull to a 67-foot catamaran — is on offer for charter. Their yachts come fully equipped with modern amenities and a range of extras to elevate the guest experience. Options range from bareboat charters for experienced sailors to fully crewed charters offering the luxury of a professional captain and chef.
One unique offering by Horizon is their “asymmetric” sailing charters in the BVI, allowing experienced sailors to take advantage of downwind sails for a more dynamic and exciting voyage. This is the only charter company in the Caribbean to offer this experience.
Flexible and Personalized Services
Horizon Yacht Charters takes pride in its boutique approach, ensuring personalized service and flexibility for guests. Unlike larger, corporate-owned charter companies, Horizon is independently managed, allowing for tailored experiences and greater attention to detail. Guests can enjoy flexible start dates, custom itineraries, and seamless support from dedicated teams at each location.
Reaching the BVI and St. Vincent & the Grenadines is easy, with multiple flight options and daily connections available for guests flying in from the US, Canada and Europe. Horizon also offers an easy booking process, allowing guests to secure their yacht with a $500 deposit while finalizing their plans.
Yacht Ownership in the Caribbean
For those interested in extending their time in the Caribbean beyond seasonal charters, Horizon offers bespoke yacht ownership programs. Owning a yacht in the Caribbean not only provides an exclusive cruising experience but also offers financial benefits (and tax advantages for some clients) through Horizon’s charter management programs.
As an authorized dealer for Nautitech Catamarans and Bavaria Yachts, as well as selling Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Excess catamarans and Jeanneau, Beneteau, and Dufour yachts, Horizon provides a variety of options for prospective yacht owners. Their competitive factory-direct, tax-free pricing, combined with potential “active management” tax advantages for US owners, makes yacht ownership a financially viable option.
Hassle-Free Yacht Management
Horizon offers a comprehensive preventive yacht maintenance system. The experienced team handles all aspects of the maintenance. This means owners can enjoy their yachts without the stress of upkeep while also benefiting from charter revenue.
Horizon offers flexible charter management programs, including guaranteed income and active management/maximum income/unlimited sailing options. These programs allow yacht owners to generate income from their vessels while also enjoying the flexibility to use them whenever desired. Additionally, Horizon’s Worldwide Sailing Plan enables yacht owners to sail in other exotic destinations through partnerships with other charter companies.
Try Before You Buy
For those considering yacht ownership, Horizon offers a unique opportunity to “try before you buy.” Prospective buyers can charter a yacht similar to the one they are interested in purchasing. If they decide to proceed with the purchase within three months, Horizon will deduct up to a week’s charter fee from the purchase price.
Seamless Yacht Purchase and Delivery
Horizon’s yacht sales team assists buyers throughout the entire purchasing process, from selection and customization to delivery and insurance for a seamless handover, allowing owners to enjoy a turn-key Caribbean sailing experience.
Whether you’re planning the vacation of a lifetime in the BVI or St. Vincent & the Grenadines, or considering yacht ownership, Horizon Yacht Charters offers an unparalleled experience. With a top-quality fleet, personalized service, and expert management, Horizon continues to set the standard for boutique yachting in the Caribbean year-round.
