Boat and yacht charter in Netherlands Antilles
The catalogue retains the historical Netherlands Antilles name for Dutch Caribbean departures. These islands do not form one compact cruising area: a boat based in Sint Maarten requires a different plan from one in Curaçao.

Charter bases and sailing areas
Choose the actual island and marina listed for the boat. A departure from Simpson Bay in Sint Maarten is not a Curaçao departure; flights and island stops must follow the real base.
Different Caribbean Island Moods
In the Dutch Caribbean islands, shore experiences vary: Sint Maarten offers life in Philipsburg, Curaçao features colorful Willemstad architecture. These places are not alternatives for a short passage. Choose island exploration based on the real catalog yacht base, not the historic group name.
Confirm the operator’s cruising limits, skipper or crew arrangements and any border formalities. Journeys to other islands need their own passage, weather and permission checks.
Before you charter
What is bareboat charter?
You charter the boat and provide your own suitably qualified skipper and crew. Qualification requirements vary by boat, operator and sailing area. We help check your documents and the charter terms for your chosen boat.
What will your charter cost?
The search price is the boat's charter price. The boat page lists known mandatory charges, optional extras and a separate security deposit. Review the complete offer for your dates; any costs still awaiting confirmation must be checked before booking.
