What makes a power yacht charter in the BVI so special?
These motorized vessels are the epitome of comfort and efficiency. Unlike sailboats, they rely on powerful engines, allowing you to cover more ground (or rather, water!) in less time. As a result, you can hop from one breathtaking island to another quickly. Inside, you’ll find plush interiors, spacious decks, and all the modern amenities needed for a first-class experience.
Moreover, with its 60-plus islands and cays, the BVI is a yachting playground that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, you can expect…

Most yachts offer paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear. Scuba diving and fishing trips can also be arranged.
When is the best time to charter a yacht in the BVI?
Late spring and early autumn offer calm seas and sunny skies, making them ideal for cruising. The high season, from December to April, features excellent weather but higher prices. In contrast, the low season, from May to November, is quieter and more affordable.
What should I not bring?
Avoid hard-sided luggage and overpacking, as storage space is limited.
What should I pack?
Bring lightweight clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, non-slip shoes, and motion sickness remedies if needed.
Do I need a passport or visa?
Visitors must have passports valid for at least six months upon departure. U.S. citizens need a passport to enter the BVI but generally do not require a visa for short stays. Visa requirements for non-U.S. citizens vary based on their country of origin.
Do I need a cruising permit?
Yes, you need permits to cruise and anchor in the BVI. Fortunately, most charter companies can assist with the process.
What factors affect the cost of a power yacht charter?
Charter prices vary depending on yacht size, season, and amenities. Additionally, costs for fuel, provisioning, and crew gratuities (10-20% of the charter fee) can affect the total price.
Are there all-inclusive options available?
Most power catamarans in the BVI offer all-inclusive packages covering meals, crew services, and water toys such as kayaks and snorkeling gear. Larger yachts, however, may require provisioning, typically 20-30% of the charter fee. This is paid in advance and covers expenses like food and fuel, with any unused amount refunded or settled at the end of the trip.
