Planning your The Americas & Caribbean voyage

DECEMBER – APRIL

Peak Season

The Caribbean is at its best during the winter months. Warm, settled conditions, steady trade winds, and clear waters create ideal cruising. From the Bahamas to the Leeward and Windward Islands, this is the prime season for island-hopping and relaxed, sun-filled itineraries. 24–30°C

MAY – JUNE, NOVEMBER

Shoulder Season

A quieter, more flexible time to cruise. Conditions remain warm, with fewer crowds and greater availability across the region. Ideal for those seeking a more private experience while still enjoying favourable weather. 25–31°C

JULY – OCTOBER

Low Season

The Caribbean enters its off-season, with higher humidity and increased chance of tropical systems. Some yachts reposition during this period, though select areas such as the southern Caribbean remain viable for cruising. Best suited to flexible itineraries and experienced planning. 27–32°C
