Jamaica at 50,000 euros per week offers three yachts in the 20 to 28 metre range, suited to couples or small groups of up to six guests and crewed by a professional team of two or three. What these vessels sacrifice in scale they make up in agility: smaller draught allows access to shallow bays that larger vessels cannot reach, and the intimacy of a small yacht gives a Jamaica charter a distinct quality.
The island’s geography rewards this size. Negril’s Seven Mile Beach sits in a wide, shallow bay ideal for a vessel that can anchor close to shore. The Blue Lagoon near Port Antonio is navigable by tender from a yacht anchored at the mouth. The north coast reef system is best appreciated by snorkelling from a smaller vessel rather than from a tender garage.
At 50,000 euros the weekly base rate covers vessel and crew. An advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent adds approximately 15,000 euros for fuel, food, marina fees, and Jamaican port dues. Total spend for a seven-night charter typically sits between 63,000 and 68,000 euros, making this the most accessible entry to crewed yacht charter in Jamaica.
The three yachts in this bracket operate November through April, when settled trade winds and water temperature around 26 degrees Celsius make the north coast comfortable. Itineraries cover Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Port Antonio in a logical east-running arc, with the option of anchoring off Negril on the final night before departure.
