Catamaran Tranquility - BVI Yacht Charter Cost

Understanding the BVI yacht charter cost is essential for worry-free sailing, whether you dream of cruising on luxury yachts or crewed vessels in the Caribbean. Knowing what’s included in the charter price is crucial to bringing your dream of exploring these jewel-like islands to life.

Understanding the BVI Yacht Charter Cost

When chartering a yacht in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), explore various pricing options to match your desired level of luxury. Take time to select the perfect boat within your budget.

Two main pricing models exist: ‘plus expenses’ and ‘all-inclusive’

Inclusive Charters: A Hassle-Free Sailing Vacation

The all-inclusive charter fee covers yacht rental, crew, food, drinks, fuel, and water toys. However, additional costs may apply for requested beverages, dockage fees, and onshore dining.

Explore our all-inclusive catamaran charters in the BVI for an expertly crafted adventure.

Plus Expenses Charters: A Customized Sailing Experience

This option is available for certain motor yachts, monohulls, and catamarans in the Caribbean. Plus expenses charters include yacht rental and crew services.

The total cost is the base charter fee plus these additional expenses:

  • Fuel
  • Dockage
  • Custom fees, if sailing between BVI/USVI
  • Additional water toys and equipment
  • 15-20% crew gratuity
  • Provisioning

What is APA?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is an upfront payment made before your charter vacation begins. It’s typically included in luxury yacht charters to cover various expenses and facilitate onboard transactions. APA usually ranges from 20% to 40% of the charter cost. For instance, if you charter a yacht at $20,000 per week, the APA might be around $8,000 depending on the yacht type.

Overall, when calculating the total cost to charter a yacht, consider cruising taxes, fees, and location-specific charges, including VAT.

Factors Influencing BVI Yacht Charter Cost:

Type of yacht

Your choice of yacht significantly impacts your overall expenses. The CKIM Group has a range of catamarans, motor yachts, and sailboats to fit different budgets and needs.

  • Power catamarans are perfect for a luxurious experience on the water, getting you to your destinations faster and using less fuel than motor yachts.
  • Sailing catamarans offer plenty of living space and onboard amenities. They use sails to travel, providing a more authentic and less costly sailing experience.
  • Motor yachts are gaining popularity for BVI sailing vacations, but their larger size often leads to higher fuel and charter costs.
  • Monohull sailboats offer traditional sailing experiences, and the total cost can vary depending on the amenities onboard.

Charter duration

Charter rates in the British Virgin Islands usually last for a week, but we can arrange longer stays as you wish.
