Princess Yacht Club at Port de Plaisance. This fantastic yacht club is one of the premier locations in the Caribbean that combines all the amenities associated with a yacht club with the luxury lifestyle of a holiday resort. It includes several fine restaurants, and a beautiful pool built into a waterfall. There is also a casino, tennis courts and full spa. Monthly rental fees for the yacht club run from $500-$1000, depending upon the size of the yacht. For more information, send visit www.princessyachtclub.com.

Bitter End. Whereas the Princess yacht club is larger and more corporate, the family-owned Bitter End yacht club has a much more personal feel. It has received countless service awards over the past 43 years, and remains one of the premier locations in the British Virgin Islands ( located on Virgin Gorda’s north sound). Included in your stay are accommodation for two, meals, use of the fleet, use of the pool, a vita course, cocktail party at a class for introductory sailing (though you may not want to take this after the cocktail party!).

The cheapest option is the North Sound Suites, which cost between $630-$860, depending on the season. The beachfront vacation villas are usually $125-$175 more per night, and the premium villas are about $175-$200 more per night (the best value package in my opinion).

They also offer several unique Caribbean vacation yacht packages, including its famous Pro Am Regatta week, where sailing newbies can race alongside with some of the finest yachtsman in the world. During this week long experience, guests have a chance to attend interactive seminars to help sharpen their sailing skills, and rub elbows with Olympic gold medalists America’s Cup winners.

If you’re looking for a Caribbean yacht club, you won’t go wrong with these two.
