Tropical Paradise Found!

Tortola, BVI   2020

 Chartering a BVI yacht gives you the freedom to forget the stresses of modern life.         Board your charter yacht at Nanny Cay Marina just a mini sail to a choice of several overnight anchorages. Lunch, sail, snorkel, happy hour, dinner – you will effortlessly glide into the quality of a tailormade liveaboard vacation . Circumnavigate Tortola with a crew to familiarize you with the secret hideaways and popular hotspots around the BVI. Anegada, North Sound – the millionaire’s playground – and the Baths for the scenic beauty. Jost Van Dyke is a must with White Bay being home to aqua waters and the Soggy Dollar Bar (because you must swim ashore) or the famous Foxy’s in Great Harbour.

Leave your watch and phone in your cabin for your swim ashore only to realize three days later you never even thought to pull them out again! 

Bagheera is a big spacious beauty of a cat.  4 queen cabins make this a perfect fit for either a group of 8 adults or a family. The crew of 3 believe in having fun and in the motto “he who has the most toys” wins. It is a registered fishing vessel but also has a whole host of other equipment for a fun-filled charter. 

Explore the Stunning Virgin Islands

Travelers diverge as they make their choices – there is no set itinerary. Depending on where you start and whether the tradewinds are slightly north of east or slightly south, you could start with the southern route heading to the outer islands of Norman, Peter, Cooper, or Salt. If you sail up the north shore you may choose Cane Garden Bay, Sandy Spit, or Camenoe. Still to explore are Trellis Bay, Virgin Gorda, and onto Anegada. With more than 60 small islands and bays, you may return again and again to visit old favorites and explore new hideaways.

Elysium , a majestic Privilege 615 cat, has three cabins, each with an ensuite to define comfort afloat. Attention to detail and elegant woodwork are the hallmark of this yacht. Elysium caters for the fun-loving and adventurous, with vibrant crew, Matt and Tara, who have more than ten years’ experience at the helm. With a collective wealth of knowledge of watersports, food, and exploring, they look forward to welcoming you on board!

A Distinctive Destination  – Yacht Charter BVI

Islands strung like a necklace curve over 35 miles from St. Thomas, USVI  in the west  into the British Virgin Islands ending at Anegada. The eastern tip of the British Virgin Islands join the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. Nature’s bounty has gifted the Virgin Islands with islands to shelter the sailor from large ocean swells and provide numerous options for calm harbors, white sand beaches and reefs that can be easily spotted in the bright tropical sun.

            Start at Trellis Bay, Beef Island Airport in the heart of the island chain and head north to Anegada, after a stop at North Sound, to find deserted swathes of empty beaches. Leave your signature footprints in the sand. Dine and dance barefoot under the stars, it is all part of your unique experience of the outer islands.

       Paddle boarding, snorkeling, or scuba diving are all optional activities from your floating vacation in the Virgins. Perfect for sailing, never out of sight of land with your next stop just a short distance away, the Virgins define easy living.

This Lagoon 62 has 4 queen cabins, lounging areas and a fly bridge with a wine fridge. 3 crew enjoy regular rave reviews for both delectable cuisine and lots of energetic watersports activity. Silver service, sailing and the sea will help you de-stress, relax and recharge. 

• The Virgin Islands has the largest number of yachts to choose from and because competition is keen the rates are the best value. Plus this is the only location with inclusive rates — yacht, crew, food, beverages (house brands) and water sports equipment are all included.
• The  BVI is a short flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico as well as offering easy private jet options.

Dive RMS RHONE

The RMS Rhone is considered one of the best wreck dives in the Caribbean, located just off Salt Island, Black Point Rock. The 94-meter (310ft) Royal Mail twin-masted sail steamer sank in 1865 and offers a fascinating dive experience. The wreck is also home to a host of marine life.

Hike Mount Sage

Sage Mountain is the highest point in the BVIs, rewarding visitors with spectacular panoramic views of all the islands. There are multiple trails through the park, taking hikers through old-growth forests and Caribbean moist forests. Northrop & Johnson can arrange private guides for those wishing to reconnect with nature and hike Mount Sage.

Visit Anegada

Anegada is the only coral island in the BVIs and is the archipelago’s most unique island. The island is surrounded by striking coral reefs, underwater cave systems, and tunnel formations. It’s also a great spot for kitesurfing and soaking up the sun on its stunning beaches. The island’s largely isolated ecosystem makes it a great destination to view local wildlife, including rock iguanas and wild orchids. The Settlement is the island’s main township, home to local restaurants and boutiques.

Cooper Island Beach Club

Tender up to Cooper Island Beach Club, famed for its on-site microbrewery and rum bar with over 280 rums. This family-owned eco-resort is the ideal spot to spend a sun-drenched day. There’s a beautiful white sand beach, a superb beachfront restaurant, plenty of handcrafted cocktails and micro-brewed beers to enjoy, and a boutique great for shopping for local keepsakes. Just off the beach, there are also some superb coral reefs within easy swimming distance.

Relaxation and Wellness

These islands are known for their stunning beaches, vibrant cultures, and rich histories.

Which is better, the British or the US Virgin Islands?

Whether the British Virgin Islands or the US Virgin Islands is best will depend on your personal preferences. Both offer spectacular scenery and cruising grounds, both for motor yachts and sailing yachts, wonderful anchorages, crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, lush interiors, and multiple islands, islets, and cays to explore.

Best Times to Sail in the British Virgin Islands

You’re probably wondering when’s the best time to set sail in the British Virgin Islands, and it’s crucial to know that the ideal sailing conditions often occur between December and April. During these months, you’ll experience steady trade winds, calm seas, and warm temperatures ranging from 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, don’t dismiss the rest of the year. May to November can also offer good sailing, with slightly higher temperatures and a bit more rain. It’s less crowded, so you’ll enjoy more privacy and potentially better deals on yacht charters.

But be wary of the Atlantic hurricane season , running from June to November. Although hurricanes aren’t a daily occurrence, they can disrupt plans. So, if you’re risk-averse, stick to the December-April window.

Remember, it’s not just about the weather. Consider what you want from your trip. If you’re seeking vibrant nightlife and events, time your visit with the annual BVI Spring Regatta in March or the Full Moon parties at Bomba’s Shack.

Essential Travel Tips for the British Virgin Islands

Armed with knowledge about the best times to visit, let’s now delve into some crucial travel tips for the British Virgin Islands, ensuring you’re well prepared for your yacht charter adventure.

• Consider your budget. The British Virgin Islands aren’t exactly cheap. Plan accordingly to ensure you can enjoy all the offerings without straining your wallet.
• Pack smart! Lightweight clothing is a must due to the tropical climate. Don’t forget your swimwear, sunblock, and a hat. Importantly, pack a waterproof camera to capture the sublime underwater life.
• Keep in mind that the official currency is the U.S. dollar. Most places accept credit cards, but it’s wise to have some cash on hand.

Respect local customs and traditions. Islanders appreciate it when visitors take the time to understand their way of life.

Finally, remember that you’re in the tropics, so stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and protect yourself from the sun.

Now, you’re a step closer to a smooth sailing experience in the British Virgin Islands. Take these tips to heart, and you’ll be on your way to an unforgettable yachting adventure.

Your adventure doesn’t stop there. Sail over to Anegada, the only coral island in the island group. It’s a paradise for snorkelers and divers with its vibrant coral reefs. Also, don’t miss the famous Flamingo Pond.

A Guide to Local Customs and Etiquette

Before you immerse yourself in the rich Caribbean culture of the British Virgin Islands, it’s crucial that you become familiar with some of the local customs and etiquette to ensure you’re respectful of the islanders’ traditions and way of life.

Firstly, greetings are important here. It’s customary to say ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’, or ‘good night’ before starting a conversation. Don’t forget to maintain a friendly demeanor and eye contact. Island time is a real thing in the BVI – locals tend to operate at a relaxed pace, so patience is key.

Dressing appropriately is another aspect to be mindful of. While beachwear is acceptable on the sand, it’s seen as disrespectful to wear skimpy outfits in public places or religious sites.

Food and drink are at the heart of BVI culture. If invited to a local’s home, it’s polite to bring a gift. When dining out, tipping is customary, usually around 15% of the bill.

Lastly, the BVI is environmentally conscious, so ensure you respect their commitment to preserve their beautiful islands. Follow these customs and you’ll not only have an enjoyable visit but also earn the respect of the friendly islanders.

Must-Try Local Cuisine in the British Virgin Islands

You can’t visit the British Virgin Islands without indulging in the local cuisine, and there’s a wealth of dishes you’ll want to try. Known for its rich, hearty flavors, BVI cuisine reflects its culturally diverse history with a unique blend of African, European, and Indian influences.

Begin your gastronomic journey with a hearty bowl of fish and fungi, a local staple. The ‘fungi’ is a cornmeal dish somewhat like American grits, served with a delectable fish stew. For something lighter, try the conch fritters. These delicious deep-fried snacks are made from conch, a type of shellfish renowned for its tender texture and sweet taste.

Of course, you can’t leave without tasting the national dish, Anegada lobster. Freshly caught and grilled to perfection, its succulent meat is a must-try for seafood lovers. Finally, wash it all down with a glass of the famous Painkiller cocktail. This tropical mix of rum, coconut cream, orange and pineapple juice, topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg, is the perfect way to end a meal.

So, there you have it – a comprehensive guide to your dream yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands. From selecting your perfect yacht to savoring local cuisine and respecting island customs, you’re now prepared for an unforgettable voyage. Remember, safety first and fully embrace the local culture. Your adventure is waiting. Now, it’s time to turn this dream into reality. Happy sailing!

Thank you for a truly amazing trip! It was so fun seeing Townes and Harris experience the BVI for the first time. Everything was outstanding - the food, the service and especially how amazing you both were with the little ones. It was truly the trip of a lifetime - we will be back!

FEBRUARY 2024 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

I truly don't know where to begin to show our appreciation for this week. Absolutely everything exceeded any expectations we had going into this 40th b-day trip. It was fun, relaxing, and so incredibly memorable. We enjoyed your company and learning about the both of you. I have tried things food wise I would have never imagined I would have liked. You have a beautiful gift and I really hope we can stay in touch. You two make an incredible team and we will never forget this trip. Thank you for pouring your love, energy and effort into making this the BEST trip ever. Much love to you both.

JANUARY 2024 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

Where do I start?   First of all, I wanted to say this to you all in person but my emotions were getting the best of me and I wanted to ensure that I could properly thank you for such an amazing trip.  You know it is a good one when you are getting teary just leaving.  The two of you made our week better than we could have imagined.  We all had high expectations for the trip since it was one of the first times that we all traveled together and was a trip we had been planning for a while.  You blew our expectations out of the water and it was beyond wonderful.  I know that you both took a lot of time preparing for us and I can't say thank you enough.  

Umbi, the itinerary you planned for us was perfect.  Every place we went was wonderful and perfect for our group.  We loved the islands, restaurants, and dinners you planned for us.  You were always on top of every detail to make it a memorable trip always ensuring we were enjoying ourselves.  I know you said you are still figuring out your next steps and what you want to do eventually, but I think you are in the right place.  You make everyone feel so comfortable, are a great leader, and have such a calm presence that makes everyone enjoy their time with you.

Kiki, you blew us away!  Although we loved the restaurants, we all agreed that not much can compare to your cooking and baking.  The hours that you and Umbi spent preparing multiple meals each day was not overlooked and we appreciate you accommodating everyone. We without a doubt were so lucky you could join us this week and I am not sure there is a better chef in the BVIs.  There is no doubt in my mind that you will achieve your dreams of having your own restaurant.

Both of you made this experience so much fun!  We are so glad you joined us for dinners, partying, and relaxing.  Getting to know you this trip was a blast and we hope it is not the last.  I am sure all of your guests offer for you to come visit, but I truly hope if you ever have the opportunity to come to Annapolis that you will visit us.  Our door is always open to you both!  I also hope that we can charter with you both again, whether it be in the BVIs or Greece.  We hope you will keep in touch.  We obviously love you both since we were trying to get you both to come live with us in our community!🙂

I am going to send pictures through Whatsapp since there are so many fun ones and it is easier from my phone, but we cherish the memories we made with you and it brings me pure joy going back through all the fun we had with you both. 

Thank you again for everything and I look forward to our paths crossing again!

DECEMBER 2023 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

Kylie - the presentation and unbelievable variety of tastes is like something I have never had.

MAY 2023 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

The Sedona 6 of us cannot say enough good things about this boat with Umbi and Judith! To say this trip exceeded our expectations is an understatement. We all cook but Judith blew us away with her creativity, choices and presentation of every meal. There was no such thing as a "simple or light" meal. For Umbi, the sailing was so effortless we knew we were in good hands. The planning and choices of stops and side trips fit our group perfectly. Best thing, we never had a lack for anything - food or drink! Lots of love to your both for making our week magical!

FEBRUARY 2023 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

Thank you both for this wonderful experience. It is memorable for the things I learned about sailing. for the beautiful places we visited, but mostly for the warmth and welcoming felt from you both.

My only regret is the 5-6 pounds I likely gained in not being able to turn down an morsel of the incredible cuisine offered.

Thank you and smooth sailing through life.

JANUARY 2023 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

A week on board Ocean was a trip we will never forget. Everything was perfect, from start to finish.

DECEMBER 2022 -  BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

We had a wonderful week. We've been looking forward to this trip to 10 years to celebrate my 50th in the BVIs. On my 40th birthday,  my wife asked, "What are you going to do for your 50th?" I said, "I want to celebrate in the BVIs." Y'all made my trip a dream trip and it was the best birthday ever!

It creates coves and hidden beaches for swimming and snorkeling. Adventurous visitors can hike and stumble over the rocks, leading them through narrow spaces and tidal pools. Visiting at sunrise or sunset is recommended to avoid crowds, as it is a popular activity for visitors on land, cruise ships, and yachts.

Anchor in Cane Garden Bay

Cane Garden Bay is one of the more preferred anchorages of the BVIs, and why? Action, action, and more action. This picture-perfect post-card bay welcomes visitors daily and has so much to offer. Choose from various water sports, such as kayaking and paddle boarding, or for the less adventurous, exotic cocktails from one of the many beach bars that litter the beachfront. Whether staying on a luxury yacht anchored in the tranquil bay or chauffeured by taxi from the cruise ship harbor in Road Town, Cane Garden Bay guarantees entertainment for all. And the action does not stop just because the sun goes down. Au contraire, the bars come alive with parties and live bands performing straight through to the early morn.

This is a sample itinerary that might be altered by the captain depending on weather factors or guests’ requests.

Arrival Day

When you arrive at Nanny Cay Marina, check-in will be your first step. Upon boarding your yacht, your crew will greet you and offer a refreshing welcome cocktail. You will then be shown to your cabin and assisted in getting comfortable. Once all guests have arrived, we will set sail across the Francis Drake Chanel, with the beautiful sun setting over the Virgin Island. A professional and delectable three course dinner will be served on-board, after which we will retire for the night.

After indulging in a delightful breakfast, you can experience an unforgettable snorkelling or scuba diving adventure. Our journey then proceeds towards Cooper Island later in the morning. You are welcome to participate in sailing the yacht and assisting with the sails. However, if that does not suit your preference, you can relax and enjoy the sail. After a satisfying lunch, we explore Manchioneel Bay, where you can choose to snorkel, kayak, or spend some time on the shore at the distinguished Cooper Island Beach Club. This beach is one of the most beautiful in BVIs and features one of the Caribbean's most upmarket rum bars, boasting an inventory of over 100 different rums. Later in the day, we set sail once more and head towards the serene island of Virgin Gorda via the Sir Francis Drake Channel. We drop anchor in Trunk Bay and relish Captain's Cocktails while the sun sets over the islands, followed by dinner under the stars.

Following breakfast, we will embark on a brief dinghy ride to The Baths, which is a well-known natural attraction in the BVI. It features a group of immense boulders that create stunning pools and grottos. These large rocks form a labyrinth that ultimately leads to Devil's Bay Beach, where you can savor an ice-cold drink of your choosing. This is genuinely one of the world's most breathtaking natural wonders, and your crew will transport your drinks to the shore in a flowing cooler. Afterward, we will sail to North Sound, which is a favored playground for the super-rich in the BVIs. It is also home to Richard Branson's private islands, such as Necker and Moskito Islands (named after the local tribe, not the insect), as well as Larry Page's Eustatia Island. The calm waters in this region make it ideal for a variety of water sports, including tubing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Perhaps some of the sailors among us might want to play volleyball on the beach? After all of this activity, your captain will prepare well-deserved sundowners, followed by another delectable dinner.

Once we finish our morning meal, we embark on a relaxed sailing journey towards Marina Cay, which is considered one of the most stunning cays in the area. If the weather permits, we can take a dip and snorkel on Diamond Reef, which is known for its abundant schools of small fish and the vivid hues of the soft coral surrounding it. We will then continue our voyage, setting sail towards the picturesque White Bay located on privately-owned Guana Island. Guests will have ample time to explore the pristine white beaches or indulge in some snorkeling at Monkey Point before being treated to a delectable tropical spread for lunch. After lunch, we will make our way towards Cane Garden Bay, where we can enjoy some refreshing cocktails. For dinner, guests have the option of dining onboard or heading to one of the various beachfront restaurants.

To start the day, we depart for Jost Van Dyke before breakfast and drop anchor at one of the most stunning bays in the Caribbean. Our objective is to secure the best anchorage spot in front of the renowned Soggy Dollar Bar, which serves the famous cocktail, Painkiller. After a delectable breakfast on the boat, you can swim to shore and use your wet money, or "soggy dollars," to order a Painkiller from the bar. As the day progresses, the bay becomes more crowded with charter boats, prompting us to move on to Little Jost Van Dyke and the charming Diamond Cay. Here, you can visit the boutique at "Foxy's Taboo" before experiencing the natural wonder called the "Bubbly Pool," which resembles a natural jacuzzi and can be quite refreshing during high tide. Enjoy a delicious dinner on board while taking in the minimal light pollution from the surrounding islands at this anchorage.

Before you wake up in your cabin, the Captain will set sail towards Sandy Spit or Sandy Cay so that you can take your first steps on the sand. After breakfast, you can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or kayaking to explore more. We will then sail through Thatch Island Cut to reach the original Dutch settlement of Soper's Hole, where you can visit some of the best shops and boutiques on the island and buy the famous Pusser's Rum. After lunch on-board, we will head towards Privateer Bay on Norman Island, where you can snorkel in three water-level caves at the base of the cliffs. These caves are dark, which makes the experience like a night snorkel, and it is said that pirates may have hidden their treasure in these caves. Privateer Bay is a safe anchorage that provides a perfect spot for an overnight stay.

Moving to the west side of Norman Island, near Pelican Island, lies a beautiful location called "The Indians" - named after the four tall rock formations that resemble an Indian headdress. This spot is a popular snorkeling and scuba diving location in the BVIs. Sailing up the Sir Francis Drake Channel, we arrive at Little Harbour on Peter Island, also known as "unemployment bay" due to the privately owned yacht-crews that anchor here. Here, we can enjoy peaceful snorkeling with turtles while anchored "stern to" the rock formations and land. After lunch, we head back to our base in Tortola, where we can enjoy a powerful sundowner. Guests can then choose to dine onboard or at a nearby restaurant for our last dinner on the trip.

Departure Day

Once you have enjoyed your final delicious breakfast on the yacht, it will be time to pack up your belongings and reflect on the amazing memories you have made during your week in this breathtaking location. Before bidding farewell to the crew, they will assist you in arranging transportation to the airport.

Terms and conditions, charter experts, llc terms & conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“ Terms ”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS A SECTION GOVERNING THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A LEGALLY BINDING RELEASE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By creating a username, a login, clicking submit, using the services of Charter Experts, LLC d/b/a Virgin Island Sailing® (“ Broker ) or by accessing Broker’s website, you agree that you have read, and acknowledge your acceptance of these Terms. The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

• Your Responsibility . By booking a Charter with Broker, you agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your breach of these Terms or the documents referenced herein; (ii) your violation of any law or rights of a third party; or (iii) your use of the Broker website.

You will review your Charter Agreement and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt. You understand that it is your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in the Charter Reservation provided to you, and that you may contact Broker if you have any questions.

You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

You understand that Broker recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency.

• No Warranties . All Charters, products, services, advice and information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied to the fullest extent permitted under the law, including but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Without limiting the above, no warranty or guarantee is made (i) regarding the acceptance of any reservation request or Charter Reservation; (ii) regarding the availability of Charters, or any other product and/or services through Broker; (iii) that the use of Broker’s website will be error-free; or (iv) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability or quality of any information, content, data, service, advice or merchandise provided by Broker or through Broker’s website.

Broker has no special knowledge regarding the Charter Provider’s or Charter Supplier’s financial condition, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel during or otherwise in connection with your Charter.

• Limitation on Liability . In no event shall Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and/or their respective affiliates, or any employees, agents, officers, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing (“Broker and Charter Releasees”), be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, your access to, display of or use the Broker’s website, the Charter or services provided to you in connection with the Charter (including, but not limited to, your reliance upon opinions of the Broker), whether based on a theory of negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if Broker and/or any other of the Broker and Charter Releasees have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the limitation above, Broker or the Broker and Charter Releasees are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Supplier and the Broker and Charter Releasees will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the Broker Fee, and (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US $100.00).

The foregoing limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of Broker and/or its providers.

The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

• Limitation on Time to File Claims . ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO BROKER’S SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
• Waiver . No waiver by Broker of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Broker to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
• Severability . If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
• Governing Law and Mandatory Venue . The laws of the State of Florida govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof. You agree that any action or proceeding initiated by Charterer against Broker shall be brought solely in the federal and state courts of Hillsborough County, Florida, and you submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over you by those courts. In the event any action or proceeding is initiated by Charterer in a court outside of Hillsborough County, Florida, Charterer agrees to pay Broker’s costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with defending such action or proceeding and waives any and all defenses to the transfer of said action or proceeding, whether jurisdictional or otherwise, to a federal or state court in Hillsborough County, Florida.

Yacht charter options range from mono-hull sailboats, sailing catamarans, power catamarans, and motor yachts. These crewed yachts have at least a captain and chef. Catering to your meals and drinks to your tastes. Moreover, every beach is no more than two hours sailing from another in the BVI.

Motor Yachts

Modern motor yachts are spacious and have large staterooms with private en-suite facilities. Depending on the size of the yacht, many can accommodate six or more people. Motor yachts can move quickly from one location to the next, thus maximizing your time. Motor yacht QTR is a 116-foot Lazaara that charters in the Virgin Islands.

Catamarans are great for first-time sailors and families since they offer a smooth and stable voyage. They are spacious, and the separate hulls provide privacy. The new catamaran Cocktails & Dreams is a good choice.

Power Catamarans

Power catamarans have generous space with many amenities and water toys. In addition, the ability to get into shallow anchorages is excellent due to the shallow drafts.

The Latest Yacht Toys

The yachts offer a variety of water toys. Choose from snorkeling, tubing, paddle boarding, kayaking, water skiing, and sea scooters. A few yachts also offer e-foils and kiteboarding. You can do as much or as little on your British Virgin Islands yacht charter as possible.

Professional Crew

Luxury Yacht Charters matches you with the perfect yacht and crew. The captain will create your trip based on your desired activities, menus, and places you want to visit. For example, you may want a very active getaway with diving, snorkeling, and nightlife. Or you may prefer a quiet vacation with private beaches, calm coves, and beautiful sunsets.

Insights | BVI Yacht Charter

What to pack

For your BVI yacht charter, lightweight, bright casual clothing is best since it is warm and sunny all year. You may wish to bring a light sweater or wrap in case of cooler nights and air-conditioned restaurants.

Swimwear is perfect for the beach, but it is standard to cover up when walking around public areas. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and sightseeing. However, leave your high heels at home since the roads may be uneven.

Bring an umbrella for the rare shower if you travel during the rainy season, July through December.
