The best 5-cabin catamaran charters for 10 guests are about more than size. Beyond the cabins, they include a crew that understands the group and a layout that balances privacy with shared spaces. Meanwhile, a chef’s meals make staying on board the highlight.
Of course, planning for 10 guests can be tricky. You need enough cabins and lounging areas, yet without the right layout, problems can arise. That’s why CKIM Group’s charter brokers make it easy by guiding you through destinations, yacht options, costs, and a smooth booking process.
We’ll send a tailored catamaran shortlist within 24 hours — no fee, no obligation.

The world’s benchmark · 60+ anchorages
The BVI is the top choice for 10‑guest charters. In fact, you can expect quality 5‑cabin catamarans and more iconic anchorages within easy day sails. Moreover, The Baths, White Bay, and Norman Island reefs define Caribbean sailing — and they’re all here.
No passport · St John park · easy flights
The USVI is the top choice for U.S. groups: direct flights to St. Thomas, no passport, and U.S. customs throughout. In addition, St. John’s National Park protects two‑thirds of the island and offers top snorkeling and hiking. Many yachts also carry BVI permits for a one‑day border crossing.
700 islands · Exumas · turquoise flats
The Exumas and Abacos are ideal for groups seeking remote adventure. With 700 mostly uninhabited islands, 10 guests can anchor at private beaches with no other boats around. At the same time, longer passages suit groups comfortable with true sailing itineraries.
Tobago Cays · Bequia · volcanic drama
The Grenadines are the next step for returning charter groups. Tobago Cays offers the best snorkeling in the Eastern Caribbean, while Bequia brings authentic port charm. Longer passages add volcanic drama and reward those who enjoy the sailing as much as the anchorage.
A crewed catamaran in the BVI is more than numbers on a spec sheet. To begin with, it’s waking up to turquoise water outside your cabin. Then, it’s a chef serving fresh‑caught fish at sunset. After that, it’s the ease of drifting overnight to a new island.
The Sir Francis Drake Channel shapes every trip. From there, you can sail north to Virgin Gorda’s Baths or head south to Norman Island’s reefs and caves. Meanwhile, countless anchorages along the way invite paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling.
Finally, evenings bring protected bays, starlit skies, and personalized dining planned weeks in advance. Iconic stops like the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke complete the BVI charter experience.
A professional skipper brings BVI cruising permits. At the same time, he offers multi‑season local knowledge of anchorages and reef conditions.
Your onboard chef prepares all meals from preference forms. In addition, the crew accommodates dietary requirements — allergens, vegan, halal — as standard.
Five private double or queen cabins each feature their own bathroom. As a result, guests never share facilities, and all enjoy air conditioning.
Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a dinghy are included. Moreover, larger catamarans often add inflatable slides or wake boards.
All meals, beverages, and consumables sourced and managed by the chef through the APA. No trips to the supermarket.
The captain designs daily routes around group preferences and weather. Meanwhile, the captain builds flexibility into every route and adjusts en route as needed — it’s never optional.
Generator or solar power provides A/C in all cabins and charging throughout. However, older yachts don’t always guarantee this, so your broker confirms availability.
Starlink or satellite wifi available on most modern 5-cabin catamarans — speeds vary but sufficient for messaging and email.
The 5‑cabin catamaran charters for 10 guests run from about $36,000 to $100,000 per week. On one hand, some yachts highlight luxury finishes and attentive crew service. Others focus on water sports, entertaining spaces, or family‑friendly layouts.
Here are standout options often chosen for Caribbean crewed yacht charters:

$36K – $60K / wk
Best For: Multi‑family charters, groups of friends, and guests who want lively socializing with space to relax together.
$50K – $100K+ / wk

Our brokers have sailed on most of these yachts personally. We’ll match you to the right one in a 20‑minute call.
Speak with a Charter ExpertMost BVI catamarans are all‑inclusive, while some use a plus‑expenses rate with APA required. Here’s how it works for a 7‑night charter with 10 guests.
$58,000
Example: Premium tier 65 ft catamaran, 7 nights BVI high season. Includes yacht, captain, chef, food, drinks, and water toys.
$17,400
Required under the plus‑expenses model. Covers provisioning, fuel, alcohol, and dockage, and may or may not include taxes. Refund any unused balance, and settle any overrun at disembarkation.
$8,700
Customary crew gratuity is divided among the captain, chef, and additional crew. Paid at disembarkation.
• Early booking discounts on select catamarans
• Seasonal promotions during off‑peak months

Coordinating a crewed charter vacation for 10 people across five cabins is not a simple booking. Here is exactly how CKIM Group manages it — from first contact to embarkation morning.
Share your dates, destination, group details, special occasions, budget, and yacht or sailing preferences. The more specific, the faster we find the right match.
A CKIM charter specialist calls to discuss your brief. We review destinations, confirm the right yacht tier, and advise on insurance and BVI entry.
We send 3–5 five‑cabin catamarans with crew bios, menus, layouts, and rates. Not every yacht in the database, but only the ones we’d recommend to our own families.
Review options, ask questions, and choose your yacht. Then, we place a hold on the dates with the operator and walk you through the charter agreement. Deposit is typically 50% of the base charter fee, paid securely through our standard process.
Each guest completes a form with dietary needs, food and drink preferences, cabin assignments, and activity interests. These go directly to the captain and chef. A pre-departure call with the captain happens 7–10 days before embarkation.
Arrive at the marina, meet your crew, complete the safety briefing, and hand over the logistics. The captain takes it from here. Your only job for the next seven days is to decide what you want to do next.
5‑cabin catamarans are scarce in the Caribbean. They book faster than 4‑cabin yachts, so groups of 10 face more competition than groups of 6.

Share your dates and group size. We’ll confirm which 5‑cabin catamarans are available and send your personalized proposal within 24 hours.
Check Availability for My DatesFor 10 guests to be truly comfortable, you’ll need a catamaran of at least 60 feet. These yachts provide five ensuite cabins, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, and proper crew quarters.
High season (Dec–Apr) needs booking 10–12 months ahead, while Christmas and New Year fill 14–18 months out. Meanwhile, five‑cabin yachts are fewer than four‑cabin ones, so the best go first.
No. Instead, your licensed captain handles all navigation, anchoring, and seamanship. Meanwhile, the crew takes care of meals, service, and water toys. Each morning, your captain suggests anchorages, leaving you free to choose the day’s adventure.
