This holiday season, we’re taking on the 12 days of Christmas, but with a Chillaxin’ Charters twist! Check out our top 12 activities we recommend for private charter vacations.

There are so many activities, excursions and destinations to explore no matter where you go on your private charter. Whatever your interests are, we have something for you!

Day 1: Scuba Diving

The experience of Scuba Diving from your charter yacht will be a game-changer. The Caribbean is one of the best places to scuba with its warm, clear water. There are limitless dive sites across the hundreds of Caribbean islands to explore old shipwrecks, new wrecks, vibrant coral reefs, underwater sculpture parks, caves, plane wrecks, up- close shark diving or awe-inspiring whale sharks — each site a new adventure.

Day 2: Island Hike

Immerse yourself within the colorful flair and soulful trails of the island destination and check out the wildlife and habitat unique to the land. Hikes are a great way to balance out the water and land. Your crew will guide you to the die hard trails that can take you to the top of the mountainous island hillside, inland for the hidden waterfalls, or simply put a drink in your hand to discover the road less traveled in flip flops between beach bars. 

Day 3: Deep Sea Fishing

Dreaming of reeling the big catch in? If you are a true sport fisherman or the simple leisurely catch and release type, we will guide you to the best charter yacht, crew and destination! There are a few true fishing vessels available for term charters and more commonly, many of the yachts will have a designated tender outfitted for fishing. From the BVI to the Bahamas, ask us for the insider scoop on the top fishing destinations and charter options.

Day 4: Beach Day

A beach day is one of our favorite ways to Chillax’ on our charters. You can bring the whole family to relax, play beach games, wander the coastline and eat amazing food made by your chef, right on shore! We love Guana Island in the British Virgin Islands as a beach day spot.

Day 5: Snorkeling

One of the reasons we love crewed chartered yachts is you can trust your experienced crew to know the best snorkel spots of your island destination. From the logistics of getting you through reef inlets and protected marine park locations to anchor, they will help ensure you and your guests are safe and supervised during your time in the water. Snorkeling can be enjoyed by guests of ALL ages and swimming skills, making it one of the most popular water activities on charter.

Day 6: Beach Bar

Whether you are a couples party group or on a family charter, beach bar hopping your way through the islands will make your charter experience unforgettable! We have so many recommendations for the best local spots that we can share based on your destination, interests and who you have with you in your group.

Day 7: Seabob

The only thing better than a Seabob is having 2 Seabobs on board so you don’t have to wait so long for your turn! A hit with all ages, the Seabob is an advanced way to motor around and scoot down through the water with snorkel and mask secured. Float through the water as you keep pace with a sting ray or bob along with the dolphins, if you get lucky!

Day 8: National Parks

Did you know that you can visit and explore national parks on your private charter? There are many parks that can be found on islands and can be traveled to by boat. Experience even more natural beauty on your vacation and spend time at an amazing national park.

Day 9: SUP or Kayak

Wake up and take your morning workout to the water with a full body workout on the stand-up paddleboard. As you tone your vacation muscles you can also check out the activity of the fish or maybe a passing sting ray or sea turtle in the crystal clear water! Kayaking is also a fun way to get the day started or take a late afternoon cocktail and paddle amongst your anchored out friendly neighbors.

Day 10: Massage

And… breathe. Indulge yourself with some self-care while on your private charter with an onboard massage. Truly the only thing better than a massage is a massage in the fresh air with the sound of the oceans surrounding you. Experience tranquility during your charter and return home even more refreshed.

Day 11: Jet Ski

Zoom, zoom! Engage in action and adventure at its finest when you saddle up, skip waves and check off your need for speed with jet skis! They make for a super fun afternoon of exploring the clear shades of turquoise shoreline up close and personal.

Day 12: Theme Night

Planning a birthday bash, an anniversary celebration, or just looking for a reason to don your finest attire during your private charter? Consider asking your crew about doing a theme night! From disco to luau, all white to pirate, we have so many fun ideas to create amazing memories.

There are endless activities available for you on your private charter adventure. Whatever your vibe is, we have something for you to enjoy! Planning a trip customized to your interests is what we LOVE to do.
