All-Inclusive

Often includes: Yacht and crew, meals, standard ship’s bar, yacht fuel, water toys, and routine onboard expenses.

Best for: Guests who want a more predictable total charter budget.
Plus Expenses / APA
Common with: Motor yachts and some larger or premium yachts.
Base rate usually covers: Yacht and crew.
APA may fund: Fuel, food, beverages, dockage, permits, local fees, and other charter expenses.

BVISAIL confirms the current rate, inclusions, exclusions, APA percentage where applicable, taxes, and gratuity guidance for every yacht we recommend.
Find the Right Yacht for Your Group
Start with who is traveling, how many private cabins you need, and how you want to cruise. These four paths combine guest count, yacht style, and traveler fit before we compare current options.
2–6 Guests
Compare right-sized yachts for couples, three couples, or smaller families. For six guests, start with three suitable guest cabins and confirm where the crew sleeps. 8 Guests
Compare four suitable guest cabins for families or four couples. Check bed sizes, ensuite layouts, storage, and crew accommodation before choosing a yacht. 10 Guests
Look for five suitable guest cabins with crew accommodation confirmed separately. Compare privacy, cabin sizes, shared space, and current 10-guest yacht options. Families & Multigenerational Groups
Prioritize cabin access, bed types, stairs, mobility, water toys, shared space, crew style, and a comfortable pace for mixed ages. Three Couples
Focus on equal guest cabins, privacy, ensuite layouts, and crew allocation. Multigenerational Groups

Choose Your Yacht Style
Compare yacht types, rates, and experiences to find the right fit for your charter. Rates vary by yacht, season, guest count, and inclusions. Many crewed catamarans are all-inclusive, while motor yachts and some premium yachts operate on a plus-expenses basis with APA. We confirm the complete cost before you book.
Motor Yacht Charters
Best for: Luxury-focused groups prioritizing service, speed, and premium onboard space.
Typical guest fit: Couples, families, and groups of 6–12+ depending on yacht size and layout.
Consider: Many motor yachts use plus-expenses pricing with APA, so total charter cost is higher than the base rate.
Indicative weekly charter rate: $35,000 – $150,000+
Spacious rooms, private bathrooms, and gourmet dining. BVI Motor Yacht Prime Time offers a unique luxury experience.
- Spacious salons and decks
- Dedicated chef and professional crew
- Smooth cruising and strong performance
- Ideal for luxury-focused groups
Monohull Sailboats
Best for: Guests who value a traditional sailing experience and a more intimate yacht feel.
Typical guest fit: Couples and smaller groups, often 4–8 guests depending on the yacht.
Consider: Monohulls usually offer less interior volume than comparable catamarans and may heel under sail.
Indicative weekly charter rate: $25,000 – $75,000+
Authentic sailing with seasonal options relocating from the Mediterranean and New England.
- Authentic sailing experience
- Great for couples or smaller groups
- Hands-on sailing feel with professional guidance
Crewed Sailing Catamarans
Best for: Families, couples, and first-time charter guests wanting space, stability, and strong overall value.
Typical guest fit: Commonly 6–10 guests, with larger catamarans accommodating up to 12.
Consider: Cabin size and guest-versus-crew allocation vary widely, so layout matters as much as yacht length.
Indicative weekly charter rate: $20,000 – $45,000+ (larger luxury catamarans can be $45,000 – $100,000+)
Wide, stable decks, spacious cabins, and calm waters make them ideal for families and groups.
- Excellent stability and space
- Ideal for 6–10 guests
- Easy access to beaches and shallow anchorages
- Outstanding value for fully crewed luxury
Power Catamarans
Best for: Groups wanting catamaran space with faster island-to-island travel and no sailing schedule.
Typical guest fit: Often 6–10 guests, depending on the yacht and guest-cabin configuration.
Consider: Fuel use is higher than on sailing catamarans, and some power cats operate on a plus-expenses basis.
Indicative weekly charter rate: $30,000 – $70,000+
Fuel-efficient with shallow drafts, power cats combine speed and space for modern comfort.
- Faster travel between islands
- Spacious, modern layouts
- Fuel-efficient compared to motor yachts
- Great for mixed groups with varied interests

FAQ About BVI Sailing and Caribbean Yacht Charters
How much does a crewed BVI yacht charter cost?
Crewed BVI yacht charters typically start around $20,000 per week and can exceed $150,000, depending on yacht type, size, season, guest count, and pricing model. See our BVI crewed catamaran cost guide for current planning ranges and examples.
What is usually included in a BVI crewed yacht charter?
Many crewed sailing catamarans include the yacht and crew, meals, a standard ship’s bar, yacht fuel, and water toys. Gratuity, premium alcohol, transfers, shore activities, and yacht-specific exclusions may be extra. Review our all-inclusive BVI yacht charter guide for details.
How many guests can a BVI yacht charter accommodate?
Many BVI catamarans are suited to 6–10 guests, while larger yachts may accommodate up to 12 or more. The right choice depends on guest cabins, crew allocation, privacy needs, and your group mix, not just the advertised maximum capacity.
How far in advance should I book a BVI yacht charter?
For the strongest selection, especially for Christmas, New Year, spring break, and other peak dates, planning 9–12 months ahead is helpful. Shorter lead times can still work, but current yacht and crew availability becomes more limited.
What is APA on a yacht charter?
APA stands for Advance Provisioning Allowance. It is commonly used on motor yachts and some premium yachts to fund expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, dockage, permits, and local fees. BVISAIL confirms the APA percentage and expected total budget before you book.
How does BVISAIL match the right yacht and crew to my group?
We compare your dates, guest count, cabin needs, budget, preferred yacht type, and trip priorities against current yachts and crews. We also review cabin allocation, crew style, pricing model, inclusions, and availability before recommending options.
What Happens Next?
Share your dates, guest count, contact details, and any trip preferences. A BVISAIL charter specialist will review your request, compare current yachts and crews, and send suitable options based on your group, cabin needs, and budget.
