Perini Navi occupies a unique position in the superyacht market as a builder of both sailing and motor vessels at the larger end of the size spectrum, with an emphasis on structural integrity and passage-making capability that makes the yard’s output well suited to Caribbean sailing. In the Cayman Islands, where reliable trade winds arrive from November through April, a Perini Navi sailing yacht fulfils its purpose beautifully.
Seven Perini Navi yachts are available for charter in Cayman Islands waters through The Yacht Collection, spanning the yard’s sailing and motoryacht ranges. The sailing vessels in particular offer an experience that is hard to replicate on a motor yacht: the sense of movement under sail, the quietness at anchor after a passage, and the intimacy that comes from a crew focused on seamanship as well as service.
Charter rates for Perini Navi yachts in the Cayman Islands range from approximately 60,000 to 250,000 euros per week depending on size and specification. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent on top. December through April represents peak season for the Caribbean, with the most settled winds and least rainfall. Enquiries should be made several months in advance for the best vessels.
From Grand Cayman the natural circuit takes in Stingray City, then moves east to the quiet anchorages off Little Cayman and the well-preserved reefs of Cayman Brac. The inter-island passages are short enough to be comfortable even for guests new to sailing, while offering genuine open-water sailing on larger Perini Navi vessels.
