Time To Get Festive: Seven Charter Yachts Offering Christmas Availability in 2026

For Christmas 2026, seven luxury yacht charters are offering availability across the Caribbean and the Bahamas, with options ranging from a yacht paired with a dedicated sportfishing vessel to a recently refitted superyacht with extensive spa and leisure facilities.

Let's take a closer look at who you could be spending Christmas with this year.

Available in the Caribbean, 46m charter yacht AVALON combines classic styling with outdoor spaces designed for entertaining, including a sundeck Jacuzzi, wet bar and grill, and a panoramic skylounge.

Guests can also make use of her extensive watersports collection, which includes WaveRunners, SEABOBs, kayaks and scuba diving equipment.

For those who want to make fishing a central part of their festive itinerary, this streamlined Delta Marine yacht charter offers an optional Big Game Package that pairs her with the 18.3m sportfisher RAMBLE ON, providing a dedicated platform for offshore angling before returning to AVALON to relax and dine onboard.

For a Christmas spent exploring the Bahamas, yacht rental SEA N SEA offers a comfortable base for days moving between islands and anchorages.

Her outdoor areas include a sun deck, foredeck seating, sunpads, and an exterior bar, while a swim platform gives guests easy access to the water.

Inside, the full-beam master suite features a dressing room and his-and-hers bathroom, and the yacht's four-cabin layout accommodates up to eight guests. A barbecue and stabilizers at anchor add practical touches to the Ocean Alexander charter for relaxed days onboard. 

Following a 2026 refit, 78.5m superyacht charter AMARYLLIS will be available for Christmas charters in St. Maarten.

As you'd expect from an Abeking & Rasmussen yacht charter, her facilities extend well beyond outdoor lounging, with a beach club incorporating a gym, a sundeck swimming pool, and a dedicated spa area with a plunge pool, sauna and steam room.

Guests can also spend time in the cinema room or piano lounge, while a substantial collection of watersports equipment, including WaveRunners, SEABOBs, electric hydrofoils and a waterslide, offers plenty to do on the water. Her interiors were originally designed by Reymond Langton Design, with Studio Vafiadis involved in the 2026 refit.

Amels charter yacht SHEERGOLD brings a different kind of festive escape to the Caribbean this year, combining classic yacht styling with a range of spaces for outdoor living.

Her 2025 refit refreshed the yacht ahead of the current charter season, while onboard features include an outdoor cinema for evenings spent watching films under the sky.

Guests looking to get out on the water can choose from WaveRunners, SEABOBs, electric hydrofoils, waterskis, and towable toys, with snorkeling and fishing equipment also available. A long-range cruising capability gives charter yacht SHEERGOLD flexibility for itineraries that take in several Caribbean destinations. 

Sunseeker yacht rental ABOUT TIME is available in the Caribbean for guests planning a Christmas charter focused on time outdoors and shared activities.

Her deck Jacuzzi, sun deck and exterior bar provide places to relax between island visits, while the onboard toy collection includes Jet Skis, wakeboards, waterskis, paddleboards and a four-person towable tube.

Inside, the full-beam master suite has a dressing room, study and his-and-hers bathroom, and the six-cabin arrangement offers accommodation for up to 12 guests. A 2025 refit adds to the appeal of charter yacht ABOUT TIME as she heads into the 2026 festive season.

Luxury yacht charter SKY will be in the Caribbean for Christmas, offering an option for guests who want to combine time at anchor with active days on the water.

Her onboard setup includes a sun deck and space to relax between excursions to Caribbean hotspots, while her watersports offering gives guests on board the Broward yacht rental the opportunity to make the most of the surrounding cruising grounds.

Completing a 2025 refit, SKY and her charter configuration accommodate up to eight guests in four cabins. 

Delivered by Sunseeker in 2025, charter yacht NIGORA offers a more contemporary setting for a Caribbean Christmas charter.

Her interior and exterior design are by the in-house team at the British yard, with accommodation for up to 10 guests in five cabins.

On the water, two F9S SEABOBs provide a way to explore around the yacht, while a paddleboard and snorkeling equipment offer a slower-paced alternative. With a cruising speed of 24 knots, motor yacht charter NIGORA is also suited to guests who want to cover ground between destinations during their festive break.
