Luxury at sea, without borders. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection extends its signature calm and precision far beyond the Caribbean, sailing some of the world’s most compelling waters—from the sun-washed Mediterranean and storied Baltic to the wild, cinematic landscapes of Alaska. Yet it’s in the Caribbean where the yachting ethos feels most instinctive: warm trade winds, intimate island ports, and days that unfold with effortless rhythm. Here, the Ritz-Carlton approach to cruising is intimate yachts, deeply personal service. An unhurried pace that finds its most natural expression, transforming island-hopping into something quietly extraordinary.
For Those Who Seek…
• A refined alternative to traditional cruising, with space, privacy, and pace
• Effortless luxury that feels residential rather than resort-like
• Curated Caribbean routes with access to smaller, character-rich ports
• A yacht atmosphere where service is intuitive, never intrusive
• Days shaped by the sea, not a schedule
Legacy
The Yacht Collection extends The Ritz-Carlton ethos beyond land, translating its legendary hospitality into a yachting experience built around intimacy and ease. With a near one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, the focus is on anticipatory service and a feeling of being quietly looked after—from the first welcome onboard to the final sunset sail-out.
Yachts & Suites
The Caribbean season is sailed aboard a small fleet of purpose-built yachts, including Evrima and Ilma, each designed with flowing lines, expansive decks, and a relaxed elegance that never feels showy. Every accommodation is an ocean-view suite with a private terrace—an essential detail that turns mornings into rituals and evenings into private shows.
Interiors lean residential and serene: generous bathrooms, refined materials, and layouts that encourage indoor-outdoor living. It’s the kind of suite where you unpack fully on day one and never feel the urge to leave.
Dining & Culinary Moments
Dining onboard mirrors the Ritz-Carlton philosophy—polished, varied, and unforced. Menus are globally inspired with a Caribbean sensibility, balancing freshness and finesse. From elegant dining rooms to more relaxed, open-air venues, meals feel social without being performative.
Evenings stretch organically: a lingering dinner, a quiet cocktail on deck, and the sea humming softly in the background. There’s no rush—only rhythm.
Wellness & Experiences
Wellness at sea is woven into the day rather than scheduled around it. The spa offers restorative treatments inspired by global traditions, while fitness spaces are light-filled and thoughtfully equipped. For many guests, wellness is found elsewhere: swimming directly off the yacht via the marina platform, sunrise stretches on deck, or simply reading as the islands drift by.
Water sports are available when the yacht is at anchor, turning calm bays into private playgrounds—kayaks, paddleboards, and open-water swims in impossibly blue coves.
Itineraries & Ports
Caribbean itineraries typically span four to seven nights, sailing through the Eastern and Southern Caribbean. Routes favor places with character—British Virgin Islands, St. Barts, St. Lucia, Grenada, and smaller harbors that larger ships can’t reach.
Departures commonly begin in San Juan or Fort Lauderdale, allowing guests to slip quickly into island mode. Shore experiences are curated but never compulsory; staying onboard to enjoy an empty yacht is not only acceptable—it’s often one of the highlights.
Voyages
A curated selection of Caribbean sailings that reflect the Yacht Collection’s philosophy—measured distances, meaningful ports, and time that feels generously unstructured.
• San Juan → St. Barts → St. Kitts
A refined Eastern Caribbean journey pairing vibrant island life with elegant marinas and calm, anchorage-led days.
• Fort Lauderdale → Turks & Caicos → Dominican Republic
Sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear waters balanced by relaxed sea days—an easy, graceful introduction to yacht cruising.
• San Juan → British Virgin Islands
A sheltered island-hopping route through turquoise coves and quiet bays, ideal for swimming directly from the yacht’s marina platform.
• Barbados → St. Lucia → Grenada
A more atmospheric Southern Caribbean sailing, defined by dramatic coastlines, lush interiors, and a slower, deeply immersive pace.
• St. Maarten → Anguilla → St. Barts
A chic, style-forward itinerary centered on refined beach culture, boutique harbors, and effortlessly elegant island living.
Each voyage is intentionally fluid, leaving space for spontaneity—whether that means lingering ashore, embracing a long lunch onboard, or staying put while the yacht rests quietly at anchor.
Keepsakes
What lingers isn’t just the color of the water or the elegance of the yacht—it’s the feeling of space. Space to breathe, to slow down, to let the Caribbean reveal itself without spectacle. A Ritz-Carlton yacht voyage doesn’t announce luxury; it carries it softly, long after you’ve returned to shore.
