Superyachts are fairly small in size however they still stand out with their sleek lines and beautiful looks. Luxurious yet affordable, the superyachts at the CYS BVI Charter Yacht Show will certainly be visited by thousands of people. The event also includes daytime viewings, informative seminars, competitions for the attending fleet along with many social events.

The CYS, Charter Yacht Society, promotes the British Virgin Island’s charter industry. Here there are amazing sailing grounds, topographic diversity, islands made of limestone and volcanic rock as well as fabulous diving sites and gentle trade winds. Nanny Cay Resort and Marina is also well known at the BVI’s leading resort marina and boatyard.

2024 Fall Charter Yacht Show

November 12th - 15th 2024, the sky is the limit, family, friends or firms.

Crewed Yacht Charters are made for paradise and you.....

Sail Friendly Seas

Make lasting memories.

Your crew can take you to a quiet anchorage with a virgin beach to explore.

2021 Spring Charter Show

We couldn’t be prouder to announce the BVI currently has ZERO Covid cases. And almost all of our charter crews have had at least one of their two vaccinations. Yet, we recognize this is not the story for much of the world and certainly not where most of our brokers reside. For that reason our 2021 Spring Show – May 12th – 13th - will be a hybrid show this year. It will be a combination of real time and virtual at our host venue Nanny Cay Resort and Marina.

BOATS AND CREWS IN THE BVI: Nanny Cay is offering FREE dockage (utilities excepted) effective between 10th May - 14th May. See details below in General Information for Yachts on Docks

WHO CAN SIGN UP: The show is open to all term charter crewed yachts. You do not need to be CYS member to attend, although members do enjoy year round benefits as well as a discounted show. Be sure to check out the benefits.

VENDORS: We will be hosting a scaled down version of our traditional Vendor’s Night on Tuesday May 11th. Booth space will be available for businesses wanting to engage one on one with locally based crews. Those attending virtually will also be able to “visit” the booths, see the display and meet the staff. Stay tuned for more information.

As the Sailing Capital of the World our waters remain azure blue and an average temperature of 80 degrees fahrenheit. The trade winds blow predictably and steadily year round. So much has changed this year but our destination has not.

EVERYONE: Things are looking up. Charter guests are loving the BVI while the marine traffic is quiet and anchorages secluded. Want to secure your spot now before the rush? We are offering a 20% discount on the show fee if paid in full by April 1st. Registration is open!

How it will work…

Crews and their boats.

  • Whether you are in the BVI or not, onboard your boat or not, you can be a part of the show.
  • Once you are registered each crew will be given a time window in which their live stream or pre-recorded video will be aired. They will then be able to entertain live broker questions in a host led meeting. We will give you recommendations & helpful hints to create the optimum show reel, whether live or pre recorded, nearer the time.
  • You will be given a link to access the “meeting room” where brokers will be congregating after your featured presentation. Brokers will engage with you and be given the opportunity to set up a one-on-one meeting at a later time.
  • There will be side “events” which local & distant crews and brokers will be encouraged to attend and will create a boatshow feel despite the distance.

NOTE: Due to the nature of a virtual show registration for boats will have to close on 5th May.

  • Registered brokers will be given a personal password to enter the inner sanctum of the dedicated event website
  • Each boat will have a portal and a featured time slot for the release of their pre-recorded promo reel or their live stream.
  • Live Q&A will be time restricted but lead by a Host to make the most of this arena.
  • A contact form will be included at each portal enabling brokers to set up a subsequent one-on-one meeting with crews.

2023 BVI & USVI Fall Charter Yacht Shows: Winner Highlights

by Federico Lopez on Dec 26, 2023

2023 BVI & USVI Fall Charter Yacht Shows: Winner Highlights

Ritzy Charters Brokers recently attended the industry trade shows held in the BVI and USVI . As every year, spending time among the best in this industry has been an amazing, heartwarming experience - and that’s both for the boutique-style Charter Yachts and their crews!

Attending yacht shows is crucial for us to gain in-depth knowledge about the yachts we offer to our clients. It is equally important for reconnecting with industry contacts like yacht managers and building new relationships that enable us to provide an exceptional customer service experience.

The BVI show was held November 7-10 at Nanny Cay Resort & Marina, Tortola, and the USVI Show followed November 11-14 at IGY Marina’s Yacht Haven Grande, St. Thomas. The shows were the largest the industry has seen in recent years, with a record yacht and brokers attendance: 50 crewed yachts and more than 120 charter brokers attended the BVI Fall Show; while 70 yachts, and 140 charter brokers from the Caribbean, U.S., and Europe were present at the USVI Show.

xandros.jpg

Our brokers had the opportunity to witness the yachts available for charter in the area, interact with the crews, and taste the chef's delicacies in the galley through a special invite for lunch or dinner during the show.

Apart from the prestigious culinary competition, the crews also participated in contests for Best Cocktail, Best Crew, and the top prize, Best in Show, which takes into account the overall presentation, special details of the yacht, and the attitude and energy of the crew. Keep reading to find out who won this year's awards.

37th BVI Charter Show 

A bit of rain could not keep members of the British Virgin Islands’ boating community away from one of their industry’s biggest events. CYS Executive Director Janet Oliver said the annual show was a success, drawing new charter yacht additions and a growing interest in the participation of brokers from the Mediterranean.  

The schedule included the usual contests, a draw from an assortment of BVI charities, a puppy adoption program through PAW BVI, and the enchanting “Sundowners at Six” - a night showcase of the yachts’ night lights and table settings.

USVI Charter Yacht Show

Over the last seven years, the charter yacht industry in the U.S. Virgin Islands has shown great resilience in the face of various challenges, including hurricanes and a global pandemic. As a result, it has grown into a formidable economic force, generating $88 million annually. This has helped to put the U.S. territory on the global map as the premier maritime destination in the Caribbean, particularly for boutique-style, exquisitely customized crewed yacht charter vacations.

The USVI Charter Yacht Show showcased a fleet of yachts ranging from 42 to over 105 feet in size. The yachts comprised both power and sail, multihulls and monohulls, and were accompanied by bespoke crews. These crews provided customized vacation experiences for guests, rather than a cookie-cutter approach.

BVI Charter Yacht Show, Tortola

British Virgin Islands Yacht Show,Tortola

Held in Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, the Fall BVI Charter Yacht Show showcases not only the best of the crewed catamarans for charter in the British Virgin Islands for the coming season, but sailing and motor yachts as well. The team visits all of the yachts in the show, which compete to be awarded the top prizes for their categories, whether due to their size or the menus that the crew serve on board.

The Boatbookings team attends the BVI Charter Yacht Show to see all the charter yachts on display. This way we get to know the yachts, meet their crews and understand the experience that guests will receive on board. The yacht charter sector is continually evolving and it is great to see how the yachts and their crews continually step up to the challenge to exceed the expectations of their service.

We pride ourselves on knowing the best catamarans to charter in the BVI , as they are always the most popular exploring the islands due to their short drafts, but it is the crew on board that make the charter what it is, so by getting to know them we will be able to pair you with the best catamaran there is for you.

The BVI Beacon

"The light that comes from wisdom never goes out"

Fall show draws 27 yachts

The land met the sea on Tuesday evening when vendors mingled with yacht brokers and crew during one of the first events of the Charter Yacht Society’s annual BVI Fall …

Continue reading “Fall show draws 27 yachts”

bvi charter yacht show

The land met the sea on Tuesday evening when vendors mingled with yacht brokers and crew during one of the first events of the Charter Yacht Society’s annual BVI Fall Charter Yacht Show.

“My family has been provisioning for yachts since the seventies, so we’ve been doing this for a long, long time,” said Aragorn Dick-Read, owner of Good Moon Farm. “My father would bring in all kinds of exotic and foreign stuff from all over the world to supply boats, and now I’m supplying everthing that’s local.”

Mr. Dick-Read’s farm was one of nearly three dozen businesses represented at Vendors’ Night.

The turnout pleased CYS Executive Director Janet Oliver. “It’s probably the biggest that we’ve ever had,” Ms. Oliver said. “We have about 35 businesses represented tonight.”

However, the number of boats registered for the show — 27 — was lower than hoped, Ms. Oliver explained. In 2019, just before the pandemic, 50 boats participated in the fall event. Nevertheless, this year’s turnout was not exactly bad news, she said.

“We would’ve expected more, but actually the VI is in high demand since Covid-19, so the vast majority of our members are on charter,” she said. “We have 27 boats, which is more than last year, but it’s not really our standard.”

Ms. Oliver added that the season has started earlier than usual and that she expects a strong tourist season.

“Charters began as early as October,” she said.

“We have some members who have closed out their calendars for the year.”

On Tuesday, vendors were busy setting up stalls near Peg Leg’s during the day.

Mr. Dick-Read and others remained focused on what the brokers and their clients were looking for in land-based services.

“People come expecting to find local food,” he said. “When they come to the supermarkets and see all exported food, they get very disappointed.”

Ms. Oliver said the Vendors’ Night is geared toward connecting vendors like Mr. Dick-Read to the yacht industry.

“These are the businesses that look to the industry to be their clientele, and the reverse: These businesses help make the guests’ vacation of a lifetime a good experience,” she said.

Last year, the event was held in a nearby location on Nanny Cay due to Covid-19.

“We had everyone bring their own tents,” Ms. Oliver said. “Last year we had to have a certain amount of distance, and it created much more of a marketplace where people were able to customise their own booths better.”

However, this year’s venue worked out well too, she added.

Other events

The yacht show started on Sunday with an orientation where new crewmembers met at Peg Leg’s, according to organisers.

The next day, yacht crew were welcomed as they registered during the late afternoon hours. In the evening, they were invited to socialise at Omar’s in Nanny Cay.

Tuesday was the first day that brokers were invited to view the boats. Registration began early in the morning, and then brokers were invited to take a trip to Anegada aboard a Virgin Charter Yachts vessel.

There, brokers got a chance to visit the conch shell mound, tour the sister island, and eat lunch before returning to Tortola.

Those who opted out of the tour had the opportunity to view yachts and talk to crewmembers.

The show continues today with yacht viewings and the annual cocktail contest sponsored by Mount Gay Rum. During the evening, a crew and broker dinner and an awards ceremony will be held.

The final day of the show is tomorrow when all events will wrap up by noon.

Yacht Charters

  • British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter Show

Peter Island has amazing beaches

British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter show is an annual Yacht Charter Broker event. We have the opportunity to inspect many of the crewed catamarans, sailboats that our clients charter.   The vacations in Nature’s Little Secret, the British Virgin Islands , are very popular because of these charters.

Yacht chartering in the British Virgin Islands is a combination of beautiful beaches, moderate sailing, lots of marinas, great snorkeling. In addition there is decent cuisine on shore with excellent cuisine on the crewed yachts.

Yesterday traveling from Virgin Gorda to Tortola was amazing. I took the ferry from Virgin Gorda to Road Town, Tortola. It is fast and comfortable thirty minute ride on a power catamaran. The blue water, wonderful wind, the boats out sailing and the BVI Islanders on the ferry heading to work and school. I kept shaking my head and smiling. It was so beautiful. Crowning it all were the crewed yachts I visited at the British Virgin Islands Yacht-Charter Show, mono-hulls, and lots of catamarans at the show:

  • Secret Oasis

Lots of tasty snacks, great crews, some who were new, and well-maintained yachts .

It is good to be here.

About Us: Your Charter Yacht Brokers: Capt. Randy & Shelly Tucker!

bvi charter yacht show

If you want to experience a luxury yacht charter vacation first hand and up close, there is no better way than on your own privately crewed yacht with a full-time professional Captain and Chef/First Mate. We've been sailing and chartering for well over twenty-five years.

The U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands were our "backyard" which we came to love and cherish. So much so, that we sold everything in 1997 and moved to Charlotte Amalie, USVI as owners & operators aboard the 72' sailing yacht Three Moons. We do know the ins and outs of this special place & the people who live there. That's what makes us an official "Yacht Charters Guru”! Never been on a chartered yacht vacation? We will help you personally design your charter yacht vacation. Imagine being able to sail into small bays with beautiful white sands & fantastic snorkeling. A yacht vacation is a great way to spend time with your friends or family.

Why use a CYBA Certified Yacht Charter Broker?

Key Takeaways:

As a member of CYBA, the Charter Yacht Broker’s Association, we adhere to strict yacht charter booking protocols. We have access to the CYBA industry escrow account to protect your money.

Charter yacht crews, yacht owners and travel agents do not have access to this account.

If it is a busy yacht with lots of charters, the crew are taking care of guests onboard and they honestly do not have time to answer a lot of travel questions.

This is what differentiates professionally licensed yacht brokers from anyone else trying to book charters.

Very Important! It is not safe to send your hard-earned money directly to a business or yacht that is not accredited by a professional charter industry association to handle yacht charter client funds. Always ask!

We have access to the The CYBA E-Contract Charter Agreement. It is made available by CYBA for electronic use only by established, industry recognized and reputable Yacht Brokers.

Choose from an extensive list of yachts, including our spacious and stable catamaran charters , power catamarans , traditional monohull sailboat vacations , or high-end luxury motor yacht charters in the U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Belize, Croatia. Greece, and the Mediterranean.

We do not sell yachts like many other agencies so there is no conflict or distraction in our focus for your yacht charter. Our service is free to you. We travel extensively to boat shows and yacht charter shows year-round to personally view and inspect as many of the yachts as possible.

6 Reasons Why We are Qualified:

1. As Members of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association, The Virgin Islands Professional Charter Yacht League, and the BVI Charter Yacht Society, we maintain contact with the yachts to keep abreast of the very latest information on crew/yacht conditions and new yachts entering the arena.

2. We stay on top of local and Federal Governments to keep informed about changes in our industry, as well as involve ourselves with the changes in the environment in which we offer charters.

3. We engage in open dialogue with local publications to help keep the government and the public aware of this important industry in our islands.

4. We attend multiple charter yacht industry shows in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, go aboard each of the yachts, meet the crews, attend association meetings and seminars. We'll happily share our notes about changes to the boats and crews and confirm any newly added features and upgrades as well as re-fits to the boat’s decor like new carpets, interior and exterior soft goods & fun new water toys.

5. As a seasoned charter yacht Owner & Crew, we have access to the "inner circle" and know all the insider facts. 6. We've developed a longtime friendship with vendors of services such as local taxi drivers, ferry companies, good places to stay on land, great restaurants, and much more.

Catamaran on a BVI yacht charter anchored in a bay

Welcome to CharterGuru, a brokerage for 500+ charter yachts in the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The list of charter yachts available is continuously updated. We are brokers who have either lived or crewed in the BVI. Crewed yachts- sailboats, motoryachts, catamarans, all filtrable and a click away. We specialize in BVI catamaran charters, where we know majority of the boats and crews in person, having crewed on yachts like Twin or King’s Ransom. Also, check out our TrustPilot score, we’re doing our best to work hard for the client.

Most BVI charters start in Tortola. Nevertheless, it’s possible to start a crewed charter in Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Island. Not all yachts are able to start the charter in the USVI. You’ll either want a yacht that is based in the USVI or we can arrange a St. Thomas pickup (with many yachts).

Bvi yacht charter without a broker at your own risk.

Types of charter

There are two primary ways to break down the BVI yacht charters: crew and power.

  • By the primary type of power used to move the boat around: Sailboat Motor yacht
  • The secondary sorting is by crew that is available on the chartered yacht. Crewed Yacht Captain Only

Crewed charter

The crewed charter usually includes at least a captain and a chef. The boat is provisioned according to guest wishes and preferences. Since all the work is handled by the crew (captain handles the boat and the chef handles the food, and often more (diving, watersports)), the guests can really have a relaxed, laid back time.

Captain only charter

Captain only charters are a good middle ground between the crewed charters and the bareboat charters. It’s very much like car rental. You do the paperwork and rent the boat. Local experience of the crew should not be underestimated. A captain will know secret spots and is able to quickly analyze your preferences and types of vacation you wish (or need).

Common Issues On a BVI Yacht Charters

  • I got a boat from USVI – will I find out, after I sign the contract, that we’ll not go to the BVI at all?
  • All Inclusive – what does it include?
  • Air Conditioning – does it run during the night?
  • APA- Advance Provisioning Allowance – are you going to have a daily overview?
  • Crew – what is the real crew feedback? How did they do on their last charters?
  • Crew Change – is your crew a part of the contract?

Not So Obvious Issues

  • are your cruising taxes included?
  • how long is your immigration procedure going to take? Minutes or hours?
  • will I loose a day in order to catch a Ferry to get a STT morning flight?

Bareboat charter

Bareboat charter is the budget friendly option for qualified sailors. Originally intended for people who know the area, the price convenience caused that today, many of the bareboat captains would be better off with a captain only charter. If you haven’t been to the BVI before or you haven’t that much experience sailing the boat you wish to charter (rent), consider a captain only charter, you will thank us later:) At the moment, we don’t include bareboats in our search, please inquire directly and we can find a matching bareboat for you.

List of BVI charter companies

Most people would start with 50 islands and cays, right? Let’s start with the relaxed and chilled atmosphere where liming was invented (drinking/eating and chilling for hours without a defined schedule). It’s the freedom that you can have when sail to bars like Willy T, the optimism and positive energy that you recuperate over the course of your vacation, that’s what makes the BVI special.

You can immediately tell the people who arrived yesterday. Full of stress, solving small things… a bundle of nerves that we turn into after prolonged experience with the “real world.” After a few painkillers (the BVI signature drink) or Frozen Margaritas (Willy T is the place), every pain diminishes and the problems fade away. These same people leave after a week smiling, optimistic and full of energy.

Snorkeling at the Indians, diving the Wreck of Rhone, surfing at Bomba Shack (Capoons Bay) or  a visit to The Baths (Virgin Gorda) are the part of charter that provide those memorable moments people have been coming back for.

North Sound

If the BVI is the mecca of yachting, the North Sound should be it’s capital. Pristine bays, sandy beaches where you are often alone.

North Sound is located on the north of Virgin Gorda, the primary methods of transport there is by boat. It’s a rather secluded location, no doubt by design.

This Billionaire Playground has been started in the 50’s and 60’s by the Washburn family, picking up momentum throughout the 70’s and 80’s. Notably, Sir Richard Branson purchased his second island, Moskito Island, in a prominent location in the North Sound.

The activities – let’s start with sailing – North Sound being the ultimate sailing destination and hosting the annual Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta and Randevouz.

Apart from the main factor, you can see people windsurfing and kiting. Some of the most beautiful BVI diving locations are located here, namely the beautiful Mountain Point, Cow’s Mouth and Paul’s Grotto near Mountain Bay.

One of the main islands is very well known for yacht anchorages. On Jost Van Dyke will find amazing bars, restaurants with the pure Caribbean vibe. Once you come on your yacht charter to White Bay you will not want to leave ever. In the White Bay, the time stopped and you will have so much fun on your charter. Cold famous painkillers with delicious local food, you have to try this little nature secret in this paradise.

Norman Island is known as Treasure Island and was the inspiration for the pirate novel of Robert Louis Stevenson. This island is the perfect place where to sail on your yacht charter if you are looking for adventure which may end with found treasure. After snorkelling and exploring many caves which Norman Island offers, you can sail to Bight for outstanding food in Pirates Bight Restaurant and The Club Restaurant.

Place where you must charter is The Baths. This spectacular place will enchant you and you will fall in love with the Baths. What is so special about this place so you have to charter there? Answers are simply, there are few places on earth that are quite so stunningly beautiful and this part of Virgin Gorda is among them. Big rocks settled in the silky soft sand are breathtaking and once you climb thru them you will finish in Devils Bay.
