Belize

Luxury superyacht charter in Belize

Off the ancient shores of Old Belize in the Caribbean Sea is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world.

When you imagine the clichéd, tropical island paradise, do you picture powder-fine sandy beaches and remote, palm-tree filled islands?

You'll find that off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea. Surrounded by crystal clear, turquoise blue waters and some of the most biologically diverse marine ecosystems in the world, the outlying islands and atolls of Belize feature breathtaking, truly isolated beaches, the Belize Great Barrier Reef—a UNESCO World Heritage site, and second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia—cayes of unparalleled beauty, and the Great Blue Hole, a giant sinkhole surrounded by coral and perfect for diving.

The best way to explore all that Belize has to offer? A luxury superyacht charter.

Day 1

Embark in Cucumber Beach Marina

Meet the yacht at anchor by Cucumber Beach Marina via tender. After a calm, one hour cruise to Middle Long Caye, where some of Belize's best snorkling can be found. Beneath those crystalline waves you'll find a kaleidoscope of colourful reefs and curious fish.

In case of a late arrival, it's possible to spend the night by Drowned Cayes before making a start to Middle Long Caye in the morning.

Day 2

Rendezvous Caye

Spend the day exploring the stunning reefs in Rendezvous Bay, Bluefield Range, and Alligator Caye. Keep an eye out for the shy, gentle manatees, who call these pristine waters home.

Day 3

The Great Blue Hole

Enjoy a three-hour cruise in the morning towards Lighthouse Reef, home of the famous Blue Hole, a giant marine sinkhole located in the middle of the reef, and one of the most famous dive sites in the world. It is part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, and was labelled a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

After a morning snorkelling and exploring her deep blue depths, regroup for lunch and dinner at anchor west of Long Caye, an enchanting private eco-island originally settled by a rocket scientist and oceanic explorer.

Day 4

Half Moon Caye

Take a trip via your tender to Half Moon Caye, a tiny island that's also considered natural monument and protected area of Belize. As the country's oldest wildlife protection area, it was established to protect colonies of red-footed boobies, a colourful seabird known for their crimson-red feet. It is also a breeding ground for several species of turtle, including the loggerhead, hawksbill, and green turtles. With aquamarine waters and breathtaking beaches, spend the day swimming and exploring, before heading back to your yacht for the night.

Day 5

Big Caye Bokel

Big Caye Bokel is an islet located in Turneffe Atoll, a collection of more than 150 islets and coral atolls that border mainland Belize. Well known for excellent diving nearby—with good, 100-foot visibility—and plenty of nearby wrecks, spend the day exploring this tiny, sandy island and her crytal clear waters by Elbow Reef, as the nearby Caye Bokel Marine Reserve, a small conservation zone established to protect the high biodiversity found within Turneffe Atoll.

Turneffe Atoll

It's also thought to be the inspiration behind Peter Pan and Neverland, as well as the location of the fabled Fountain of Youth. Here, you'll find savanna and littoral forests, mangroves, creeks, and lagoons. These ecosystems provide rich habitats for native species of fish, crocodiles, lobster, corals, sea turtles, manatees, dolphins, and hundreds of species of seabird.
