Luxury Yacht Charter Aruba
Yacht Charter in Aruba
Aruba is a small island in the Southern Caribbean, lying just 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela. It makes up part of the ABC islands – Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao – and is one of the least explored islands of the Caribbean. However, Aruba, with its white sandy beaches, emerald blue waters and warm population, has all the necessary ingredients for a magical yacht charter. What’s more Aruba was officially named as the safest place to sail in a recent yacht crime survey, as well as having the bonus of failing outside the hurricane belt.

With an average rainfall of less than 20 inches a year, a location completely outside the hurricane belt and the cooling influence of the trade winds, Aruba is one of the most temperate islands in the Caribbean.
