What to expect on a yacht vacation in the British Virgin Islands?

Yacht Vacations: Booking and Planning

Charter Options

Two charter options are available: bareboat and crewed.

Bareboat charters allow you to navigate to your chosen destinations and enjoy activities at your own pace. This option is ideal for experienced sailors who prefer to sail independently. Plus, it’s generally more cost-effective compared to crewed charters.

On the flip side, crewed yacht vacations are all about relaxation. The crew handles everything, so you can just enjoy the trip without any hassle. It’s perfect for those who want a carefree experience with professionals taking care of all the details.

Choosing the Right Yacht

To match your travel preferences, it’s important to understand the different yacht types available. Key factors include group size, itinerary preferences, and onboard amenities to finding the best fit for your needs.

Catamarans offer stability and space, monohulls provide a classic sailing experience, and motor yachts deliver speed and luxury. For unparalleled comfort, consider a mega yacht charter. With BVI Yacht Charters, you’ll find plenty of options.
