Explore Bermuda in Style with Private Boat Charters

There’s something magical about experiencing Bermuda from the deck of a private boat. With ocean breezes at your back and endless azure waters ahead, private charters offer an intimate, personalised way to explore the island’s stunning coastline, hidden coves, and vibrant marine life. Whether you're planning a romantic sunset sail, a snorkelling day trip with friends, or an all-out party on the water, chartering a boat means the experience is yours to shape. 

Just be sure to plan ahead. Booking in advance is always the best option to secure the time and boat you want.

Why Choose a Private Sailing Adventure in Bermuda? 

A private sailing adventure offers the freedom to explore Bermuda at your own pace, with no crowds, no rigid schedules, and all the island allure. With a local crew and a custom itinerary, you’ll discover hidden beaches, secret snorkel spots, and the kinds of personal touches that group tours just can’t match.

What to Expect for Your Day on the Water

Your day on the water in Bermuda is all about effortless adventure. Expect gorgeous turquoise waters, sun-drenched decks, and the warm welcome of a seasoned local crew. Sail past coral reefs, anchor in secluded coves, or toast the sunset with a rum swizzle in hand – every detail is tailored to your vibe. 

From snorkel gear to snacks and music, many charters include all the essentials for a fun-filled day in the sun. But you’ll want to bring your swimsuit, a cover-up, reef-safe sunscreen, and a camera to capture the highlights.
