FAQs
Is the price per person or per boat?
Private charters are priced per boat, per night: published rates run from USD 500 for a four-guest sailboat to USD 2,800 for a twelve-guest catamaran, and some boats add a per-guest rate. Shared departures are priced per person. Your written quote confirms the total for your dates and group.
Can you go for just one night?
Yes. Quick Escape runs from one to three nights among the closest islands. Longer routes reach Cayos Holandeses and Coco Bandero, and Create Your Own Expedition has no maximum number of nights.
When is the best time to go?
There is no bad time. Mid-December to April is the dry, windy sailing season; May to mid-December is calmer and quieter, with flat turquoise water.
