Two of my wife’s friends are turning 40 this year and want to do a group trip with their friend group and husbands/boyfriends. They’re wanting to do an all inclusive in the Caribbean but not Mexico. They don’t really have a preference on island but want there to be some nightlife and stuff to do at the resort. Obviously would like a nice beach too with the picturesque water. The group will be 10-12 adults all aged from mid 30s to early 40s.

None of them have been to the Caribbean, but I’ve been to Punta Cana at Excellence El Carmen and Sandals in St Lucia.

I know many of y’all on here have much more experience so trying to get some suggestions. They’re getting kind of overwhelmed when they look at what’s out there online.

Thanks in advance.

Charter a catamaran in the BVIs from MarineMax or The Moorings. You won’t regret it.

I agree with your suggestion, but this may hold them back:

Although they could map out an itinerary where they overnight on islands with somewhat of a nightlife scene?

Do this and create your own nightlife. I can guarantee that one late night on the Willy T will be enough nightlife for the whole week.

Oh lord, completely forgot about W.T. Good lord

They could also hit the Leeward Islands and do a night on St Barths. One night there can wreck the womenfolk.

Willy T one night
Foxy’s one night
Soggy Dollar one day
Cane Garden Bay one night
Saba Rock one night

Plenty of night life.

How much does something like this run? And how many people can you generally fit on board?

I think the best all inclusives in the Caribbean other than Mexico are in Jamaica. If you want a land based trip I would start here

For a power cat, I think they have up to 6 bedrooms. If you need a captain, then you need to give him one of the cabins. the prices really vary but I think for a large group it would be like $5k to $7k per couple.

I'm aware but none of them match the WIlly T for pure raunchiness.

Then it's low season. Better rates but possible hurricane weather.

book in a place that isnt affected by hurricanes like curacao. its not really an all inclusive island but dont let that push you away. book on the dutch side of the island jan thiel. rent a car and yall can explore the island and chill at the many different beach areas. alot of great restaurants and bars also. It has a great food scene. Much better than what you would get at 98% of the shithole all inclusive resorts.

Not far from jan thiel is mambo beach which is really nice.

downtown area by the queen emma bridge is walkable and picturesque and has alot of restaurants and bars.

tons of great snorkeling all around the island and nice beaches that arent busy. westpunt you can snorkel with sea turtles which is cool.

Ive been twice and really enjoyed the island. I would love to retire to somewhere like curacao.

Ouch. Not a good time to go to bvis. For September, you need to go south. Grenadines or Barbados.
