Crewed yacht charters are becoming a preferred choice in the Virgin Islands. Unlike other travel modes, this adventure provides you with not just a yacht but an all-inclusive experience.
From the moment you step aboard, you can say goodbye to worries about logistics, docking, and provisioning. With professionals at the helm, every detail — whether it’s setting the anchor or serving a cocktail—is taken care of, allowing you to fully savor the journey.
Dining aboard a crewed yacht turns meals into an exquisite culinary experience. Onboard chefs create menus tailored to guests’ preferences, including fresh, locally sourced ingredients and island-inspired dishes. This is truly one of the highlights of a crewed yacht vacation!
Beyond sailing, guests can enjoy activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or snorkeling with turtles. For those seeking thrills, many yachts also offer wakeboards, kiteboards, and even scuba diving gear.
Divided into the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), these islands provide an unparalleled playground for sailors and travelers alike. Each destination is also filled with secluded bays, coral reefs, and vibrant marine life, waiting for you to explore.
