Why are Turks and Caicos yacht charters so enchanting and exciting?
Turks and Caicos are an archipelago of islands and cays clustered in two groups, the Turks Islands and the Caicos Islands.
Turks and Caicos comprise of seven main islands and more than 40 uninhabited islets and cays, encircled by a coral reef, protecting them from the Atlantic swell and providing calm anchorages.

Turks and Caicos
Yacht Charter Itinerary
Day 1
Providenciales
Known as the gateway to the Caicos Islands there is no surprise that Providenciales (or Provo), is the starting point for yacht rentals in Turks and Caicos. Provo is full of luxurious amenities including a golf course, casino, shopping centers, and excellent restaurants. This island has some of the very best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean so for those who like to explore the world beneath the water, it is a must-see.
Day 2
South Caicos
Head to South Caicos, cruising around the north of the islands where the water is deeper. This is the longest passage on your yacht charter itinerary, taking you past many islands and cays with beautiful beaches. Spend the night on the southern end of the island, between South Caicos and Long Cay.
South Caicos offers great snorkeling and if you rent a private yacht during whale migration (January to April), this is a great spot to watch these magnificent creatures. In the evening, enjoy a beach BBQ.
Day 3
Grand Turk
Grand Turk is the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands and home to the only lighthouse in the country. One of Grand Turk’s main attractions is diving. There is an outstanding protected coral reef, which drops to 8,000 feet and is close enough to shore for beach dives.
Spend some leisurely time strolling the streets, visiting the National Museum, and enjoying the colonial spirit of this outpost where time seems to have almost stood still. During whale migrating season (January through April), you can watch the humpback whales. Take a short tender ride (1 mile or so) to Gibbs Cay where you can swim with the friendly stingrays right from the beach.
Day 4
Salt Island
Salt Cay is the smallest and least populated island in the Turks and Caicos Islands. There are no paved roads and very few cars. You will see donkeys roaming freely all over the island – they were once used for pulling carts.
Visit the ruins at Taylor’s Hill and discover one of the most breathtaking views on the island. This is an ideal spot for whale watching during January and April when migrating humpback whales populate the azure waters of Salt Cay.
Divers can dive 17th-century British warship.
Day 5
Big Sand Cay

Day 7
West Caicos

Day 8
Providenciales
It’s the last day of your private boat charter and a short morning cruise will put you back to the south shore of Provo to get in those last few hours of playing with all the toys. If you have time before your flight back home, stroll the streets of Providenciales and do souvenir shopping of local arts and crafts.
