Yachts For Charter
Jamaica Yacht Charter
What could Y.CO charters show you about Jamaica that you don’t already know? Plenty. One of the largest islands in the Caribbean, there’s a vast and varied coastline to explore. Beyond obvious yacht-spots like Montego Bay and Negril, we’ll whisk you to offshore cays and remote and ravishing beaches. What else? The best diving spots and historic towns that don’t make it onto standard tourist itineraries.
Your Guide to Jamaica
Jamaica, birthplace of ska, reggae, and dancehall, pulses with rhythm. In Kingston, towering sound systems vie for dancers' approval. Moor your Y.CO charter at Kingston Marina for insider tips. Discover why a Jamaica yacht charter is a must this winter.
Your Guide to Jamaica
Admit it: there’s definite appeal to a historic town once synonymous with piracy and debauchery. Sitting on a peninsula at the mouth of Kingston Harbour, where the marina will take care of your Y.CO yacht, it’s packed with piratical and colonial heritage, despite the ravages of earthquakes and fire. Associated with brigands such as Blackbeard and Henry Morgan, it retains its 17th-century jail and fort and a proud local community.
Your Guide to Jamaica
OK, so it’s hardly a secret, but Negril’s beaches, sunset views and unhurried vibe make it a must-visit. Anchor your Y.CO yacht offshore and take a tender to spend a few nights in one of its super-chilled resorts. Or seek out Lucea or Little Bay, largely bypassed by the development that has colonised the western coast. More centrally, walk Seven Mile Beach’s perfect sands or get stuck into Negril’s nightlife.
Your Guide to Jamaica
River rafting in Jamaica? You bet. Carving a deep gorge from its source in the Blue Mountains, the Rio Grande offers wonderful hiking and rafting, the latter on bamboo craft that are sturdier than they may seem. Not up for some of the more demanding, muddy trails through the valley? Hikes to White Valley – aflutter with giant swallowtail butterflies – or to Scatter Falls and Fox Caves aren’t too taxing.

December to April. May to November is hurricane season and it’s worth remembering that visitors tail off towards the end of April, bringing crowds and prices down with them.
Useful Info to Visit
You’ll need more than swimwear if you want to squeeze the best out of Jamaica: pack hiking clothes and something fancier to make a splash on the dancefloor.
Useful Info to Visit
Jamaican food is justifiably famous. You may think you know jerk chicken, but until you’ve had it here, smoked over juniper in a mountainside hamlet, you really don’t.
