Bermuda’s strategic location makes it an ideal home port or seasonal layover destination for superyachts navigating between the U.S. and the Caribbean. It’s also a prime stopover for transatlantic trips from the Caribbean to Europe. The archipelago is located about 650 miles (1,046 km) east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 950 miles (1,529 kilometers) north of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Beyond its natural beauty and multi-dimensional culture, the island offers a safe and secure environment with world-class port facilities, making it an attractive option for superyacht owners and captains. Additionally, the availability of high-quality services, entertainment options, and favorable weather conditions during off-peak seasons makes Bermuda highly desirable for extended stays.
While foreign-flagged yachts weren’t permitted to charter in Bermuda in the past, permanent legislation in 2019 opened the door to this untapped and unparalleled destination. Owners and brokers who have since experienced Bermuda agree that its offering is different from other islands. With new superyacht facilities and elevated experiences like luxury catamaran tours and oceanfront fine dining, Bermuda is an emerging destination with diamond-like allure.
