To charter a yacht in North America is to cruise a continent. Chilli meets chowder. Caribbean sand meets Alaskan snow. Imagine experiences like a glider ride over the Mojave Desert. These adventures aren’t bucket-list. They are once-in-a-lifetime.

Your Guide to North America
Supersized
North America is twice the size of Europe. Yet it’s overwhelmingly pristine. Take Alaska’s Lake Clark National Park. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist will arrange a RIB expedition to spot brown bears. You'll be the only charter party in town. Or Canada’s Hudson Bay. Where beluga whales dot the ocean like ice cubes. You’ll be the only yacht for hundreds of miles around.

Coasts That Keep Giving
In short, each coast packs unforgettable adventures. Learn to surf in Oaxaca, Mexico. Race a speedboat through New York. Hang glide over Hawaiian Islands. Ride a 1800cc Harley-Davidson through California. Party on a Caribbean or Pacific beach. To use the American acronym: YOLO.
Your Guide to North America
Colourful New England
The most colourful charter destination in North America is New England. Rhode Island, the smallest US state, is a pastel patchwork of age-old houses overlooking a sea of sails. It nudges up against Massachusetts’ Cape Cod - 100km of rococo mansions, sand dunes and limitless things to do. Cycle through history. Fish for your dinner. Spot humpbacks from deck. Further out, the Atlantic islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket welcome sailors with shark conservation and lobster rolls. The best anchorage spot? It’s already booked.
REASONS TO VISIT
WHY WE LOVE NORTH AMERICA
Attitude
It’s what makes North America great. Across this continent the median age is 35. (In Europe it’s 44.) The outlook is optimistic, upbeat, you-only-live-once. Which translates to incomparable adventures at every turn. Call Y.CO and charter a piece of the American dream.
Experiential Yachting
Your Y.CO Charter Specialist can even arrange passage to the continent’s beating heart. Follow the Hudson River from New York. Turn left at Toronto. Ride through the Niagara Falls en route to the Great Lakes, where leaves turn ochre and amber each autumn. It’s yachting at its most experiential.
What destinations are popular for a North America yacht charter?
The Florida Keys provides the perfect mix of natural beauty and vibrant nightlife. Head to the quaint coastal towns of New England, with its historical sites and wonderful Atlantic sailing. Admire the glamourous beaches and rugged cliffs of California's Pacific coast or enjoy freshwater sailing at the Great Lakes.
What activities are available during a yacht charter in America?
Go snorkelling and diving to explore underwater ecosystems, coral reefs and Day-Glo marine life. Try your hand at deep-sea fishing on Hemingwayesque ocean adventures. Paddle through calm waters and drop anchor in coastal inlets, or simply relax onboard your private yacht.
What should I pack for a North America yacht charter?
Packing for your yacht charter requires careful consideration. Bring along breathable, lightweight clothing suitable for warm weather. Swimwear is essential, too, especially for all-day water activities. Suncream, hats and sunglasses will keep you protected from the sun's rays. And don't forget travel documents and any medication.
When is the best time to book a yacht charter in North America?
The best time to book your charter varies by region. The Florida Keys is mostly visited in winter and spring, while New England and the Pacific Northwest are best in the summer months. Popular destinations and peak seasons can be secured quickly, so we always advise booking several months in advance.
