THE SAILING CAPITAL OF THE CARIBBEAN
A different island
every day.
Short passages. Steady trade winds. Legendary anchorages. The BVI seems made for catamaran adventures.
Glide between Tortola, Norman Island, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, and Jost Van Dyke. Swim from the yacht, snorkel clear reefs, walk powder-soft beaches, and end the day beneath a Caribbean sunset—all with the space and comfort of a private catamaran.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU CAST OFF
BVI charter FAQ.
Do I need sailing experience?
Not for a skippered or fully crewed charter. Bareboat charter companies evaluate the skipper’s sailing background and may request a sailing résumé, certifications, or additional documentation.
Where can a BVI charter begin?
Many BVI charters begin on Tortola. Depending on availability and your travel plans, a USVI departure may also be considered. Immigration, customs, permits, and charter-area rules must be confirmed for your specific itinerary.
What is the best charter style for my group?
Bareboat is ideal for qualified sailors who want full control. Skippered charters give you local professional help while keeping the vacation private and flexible. Fully crewed charters add service and meal preparation for a more effortless experience.
How far in advance should we book?
For the strongest yacht selection—especially during popular winter and holiday periods—begin planning several months ahead. Last-minute options may exist, but choice can be limited.
Can you help with a flotilla or group trip?
Yes. Tell us the group size, preferred dates, cabin needs, and experience levels. We can explore multiple yachts or a coordinated sailing experience.
