Why chartering a yacht is the best way to explore the British Virgin Islands?
Unparalleled Sailing Conditions: Enjoy ideal conditions in the British Virgin Islands, with consistent winds and calm seas perfect for first-time yachters. Whether on a monohull or catamaran, you’ll sail safely between islands.
Year-Round Appeal: The BVI is a year-round paradise, with warm, sunny weather. Keep in mind that hurricane season runs from June to November.
Rich Culture and History: Immerse yourself in the BVI’s heritage by chartering a yacht for a week. Explore historic sites like forts, museums, national parks, rum distillery, and sugar plantation.
Gourmet Dining and Local Cuisine: Savor the BVI’s culinary delights. While onboard dining is convenient, yacht-accessible restaurants offer local favorites like grilled spiny lobster.
When to charter yachts in the British Virgin Islands?
No matter when you visit—whether during the bustling high season or the quieter low season—the BVI offers breathtaking beauty. High seasons like Christmas, New Year’s, and Thanksgiving come with larger crowds and premium rates. For a lesser crowd at standard rates, consider visiting during the rest of the year.
Crewed vs. Bareboat Charters: Understanding the differences and what suits your needs
Anyone can charter a yacht in the British Virgin Islands, but your budget and sailing experience will influence your choice. You can choose between a bareboat or crewed yacht vacation.
For experienced skippers, a bareboat charter offers the freedom to explore the islands on your terms. If you’re less experienced, simply hire a skipper to lead the way.
New to sailing? Opt for a crewed yacht. With a professional captain and chef on board, you’ll enjoy stunning views, gourmet meals, and expert guidance to the best routes and destinations.
Types of Yachts Available for Charter
Monohull Yachts: Experience traditional sailing with the thrill of water splashes and a gentle breeze. These single-hull yachts offer a little tilting as you glide between islands, with speed and direction guided by the wind.
Sailing Catamarans: Charter a sailing catamaran for elegant cruising, featuring two hulls and one or more sails.
Power Catamarans: Choose a power catamaran to travel quickly between islands, as it relies on engines rather than wind for propulsion.
Motor Yachts: Indulge in luxury and speed with motor yachts, offering top-tier comfort and additional water toys like jet skis, a tender, and a swim platform.
The cost of chartering a yacht depends on several factors: the type of boat, number of guests, chosen destinations, season, and level of luxury. For a tailored quote that fits your preferences, contact us today.
