Bermuda Yacht Charter

Boasting 75 miles of breathtaking coastline bathed in crystal clear waters, in an archipelago of 181 largely uninhabited islets, Bermuda is the perfect tranquil idyll to explore on a superyacht. This island nation feels suspended in time, free from the high-rise buildings, fast pace, and ultra-modern trappings of many other cruising destinations and yet with all the necessary ingredients and more to provide an unforgettable experience. Exquisite pink sand beaches, coral reefs teeming with a myriad of enchanting sea life and charming colonial style towns adorned with pastel-coloured houses, are all waiting to be discovered.

Bermuda is often mistaken for being part of the Caribbean, but in fact lies hundreds of miles northeast of the Bahamas, dotting the edge of the North Atlantic Ocean. However, the climate here is similar to that of the Caribbean with the coolest months averaging around the mid-twenties whilst the peak summer months experience temperatures of around 35 degrees Celsius. The island also benefits from the shelter of an offshore reef meaning that it is protected from the worst of any weather conditions and subsequently attracts incredible fauna and flora to its rich feeding ground.

Another advantageous string to Bermuda’s bow is its accessibility from the United States, with flights taking from as little as two hours, and direct flights from London in seven hours.

Lying at the centre of the island is the Bermudan capital of Hamilton - a picturesque harbour city with just over a thousand residents. Head to Front Street and you will find a plethora of high-end shops, local artisanal stores, charming restaurants and a thriving nightlife whilst just a few streets away you can immerse yourself in cultural wonders at the Historical Society Museum and Bermuda National Gallery. On the other side of Hamilton lies Smuggler’s Caverns, which is famed for its outstanding snorkelling opportunities and, according to the history books, once hid the treasures of rum smugglers and pirates.

For those seeking to further explore the history of Bermuda, a trip to the north end of the island should be high on your list. The UNESCO World Heritage site of St George’s was the first permanent British settlement on the island, dating back to 1612, where today fortifications overlook a maze of lanes and alleyways lined with quaint 18th century cottages.

A leisurely cruise to Southampton Parish will take you to one of Bermuda’s most well-known attractions - Horseshoe Bay, with its achingly romantic pink sand beach formed from the ground shells of microscopic organisms and the stunningly picturesque Gibb’s Hill lighthouse.

Bermuda is a natural paradise for pastimes on or beneath the waves with an abundance of snorkelling and diving wherever you choose to drop anchor. For active types seeking out sport on terra firma, the island is peppered with world class golf courses with views from the fairways to match.

If you’ve worked up an appetite after a day of discovery and activity, be sure to try the local sweet treat of Bermudan rum cake, washed down with sundowners before heading out for dinner to sample the local cuisine with its spectacular fusion flavours and abundance of fresh fish and seafood to choose from.

You can’t fail to fall in love with Bermuda’s charm, friendly locals and laid back lifestyle, and a superyacht charter here will be sure to create memories that last long after the sun has set on your vacation.
