Why Choose Turks and Caicos for a Yacht Charter?

Turks and Caicos is made up of 40 low-lying islands and cays, only a handful of which are inhabited. With steady trade winds, clear water, and short distances between stops, it's ideal for both first-time charter guests and seasoned travelers looking for a laid-back escape.

It’s also a year-round destination, with the best charter conditions typically from November through May. Summer months offer warm waters and fewer crowds, while winter brings refreshing breezes and ideal sailing conditions.

Where to Charter: Top Cruising Areas in Turks and Caicos

Providenciales (Provo): Most charters begin in Providenciales, the gateway to the islands and home to the famous Grace Bay Beach. This is a great place to stock up, enjoy a waterfront lunch, and ease into island time. From here, you can head out to explore hidden beaches, snorkel sites, and calm anchorages in every direction. Provo is also where most luxury yachts are based, and it’s conveniently served by Providenciales International Airport (PLS).

Grace Bay and Leeward Channel: The calm, shallow waters around Grace Bay and the Leeward Channel are perfect for watersports, paddleboarding, and beach hopping. You can spend the day anchored off Half Moon Bay, a dreamy stretch of white sand between mangroves and ocean, or visit Little Water Cay, a protected iguana sanctuary just a short cruise away. Snorkeling here is excellent, with coral gardens and vibrant marine life just beneath the surface.

West Caicos and French Cay: Sail southwest to West Caicos, a completely uninhabited island with some of the best diving and snorkeling in the region. The island is ringed by coral reefs, underwater walls, and abundant sea life. Keep your eyes out for sea turtles, eagle rays, and dolphins.

A bit further offshore lies French Cay, a remote cay known for its pristine reefs and quiet anchorages. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful lunch on board or a sunset swim.

South Caicos and East Caicos: For more of an off-the-beaten-path experience, head southeast toward South Caicos, a charming fishing village surrounded by unspoiled nature. It’s a great place to experience the local culture and enjoy freshly caught seafood. Nearby East Caicos is uninhabited and incredibly wild, with long empty beaches, limestone cliffs, and inland caves waiting to be explored.pecially popular for travelers who value privacy, calm anchorages, and a more exclusive feel.
