"Exceptional Experience with 1st Class Crew!"

Highly recommend this organization… they were even able to accommodate a last minute itinerary change due to tropical storm “Beryl”!

Virgin motor yachts lined us up with a great Captain and assisted with all the details in preparation. I am already planning to come back in November.

If I were to write everything good about our experience with VCY…I would need another week on their CAT on the BVI!

"Better Than We Could Have Ever Imagined"

From the planning stage to last day of our trip, we could not have asked for any better experience. Alexia and crew were wonderful to deal with.

328  Crewed Luxury Yachts for Charter in the Virgin Islands

Virgin Islands Yacht Charters

The British Virgin Islands (BVIs) and the U.S. Virgin Islands yacht charters are widely considered to be two of the world's finest cruising destinations. Having long attracted discerning travellers, the waters which surround the picturesque island chains boast outstanding views and enjoy a year-round warmth. Virgin Island yacht charters are particularly popular during the winter charter season, a stunning selection of mega yachts can regularly be seen cruising around this world-famous Caribbean island paradise.

British Virgin Islands luxury yacht charters

Commonly referred to as ‘the BVIs’,  British Virgin Island yacht rental vacations are popular for  sailing yacht  charters. Indeed, with steady trade winds, calm waters, and bright blue skies, there a few places better to unfurl a sail and enjoy the experience of being carried along by nature. As well as being a paradise for the intrepid sailor, the BVIs are also a perfect destination to explore from the comfort of a motor yacht . The vast array of untouched bays and dive sites, for example, are all easily accessible to motor yachts no matter how large they may be. Typically, those visiting the area on board a yacht will also make time to enjoy the mainland attractions found on Tortola. The largest of the British Virgin Islands, this destination boasts a remarkable selection of restaurants, bars, and boutique stores. Equally popular amongst the SuperyachtSet, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke are home to well-equipped harbours and suitably positioned anchorages.

US Virgin Islands luxury yacht charters

Lined with white sand beaches which look out across cobalt blue waters, renting a yacht in the US Virgin Islands  is simply bliss. Just as revered as their British neighbours, the major islands here include St Croix, St Thomas , and St John. Usually, superyacht charters in the U.S. Virgin Islands will begin and end at St Thomas as the main port is located here. The capital of the islands, Charlotte Amalie, is also located on St Thomas and is home to a range of outstanding bars and restaurants. With numerous historic towns, national parks, and romantic retreats found around the surrounding islands, there’s plenty to see and do in this part of the world. Ideal for families as well as groups of friends, a charter vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands can be styled to meet the needs of any party configuration.

Yacht charter itineraries in the Virgin Islands

A yacht charter itinerary in the Virgin Islands can combine both the US and British Virgin Island. The pristine beauty of St. John is a popular starting point for charters here, and will include stunning hotspots like Norman Island, Tortola, Peter's Island, Virgin Gorda and North Sound.

Planning your luxury yacht charter in the Virgin Islands

When planning a private yacht charter vacation in either the BVIs or the U.S Virgin Islands, consider what kind of activities you’ll be keen to try out. If you’re interested in snorkelling, for example, you might want to think about heading out to the British Virgin Islands. On the other hand, if you’re more inclined towards hiking trails and untouched beaches, the U.S Virgin Islands might be a more appropriate choice. To find out more about the incredible possibilities on offer, be sure to take a look at our example itineraries here .

Chartering a private yacht in the Virgin Islands

For more information about renting a luxury charter yacht in the Virgin Islands, you'll need to get in touch with your preferred Yacht Charter Broker . They will be able to help plan your dream itinerary, combining your desires with recommendations about the best time to visit this idyllic destination.

Rent a Boat in the BVI with Sailo!

Looking for a BVI boat rental? Welcome to the British Virgin Islands yacht charters inventory on Sailo! The British Virgin Islands (widely known as BVI for short) is a piece of heaven on earth. Though they are a British territory, they still boast the same tropical atmosphere and island lifestyle as other well-known Caribbean sailing destinations . They’re stunningly beautiful, with gorgeous beaches, delicious local food, and enough fun in the sun for all ages.

Choose a Sailo Boat Charter in the British Virgin Islands

So why add the BVI to your travel bucket list? Well this place really does have the best of both worlds. There is enough to see and do so you could never get bored, but the environment is relaxing enough that you can still have a leisurely vacation. That’s why we recommend the BVI yacht charter as the best way to explore this slice of paradise.

Finding your perfect BVI boat rental

Because the British Virgin Islands are a tropical destination, there’s no reason not to explore this place by boat. And Sailo’s easy-to-use platform makes finding your perfect BVI yacht charter an absolute breeze. Sailo features a variety of search features to help you select the boat rental in the BVI for your dream sailing vacation, all with just a few clicks.

Sailo allows you to filter by boat type ( sailboat charters in the BVI , BVI motor boat charters , and BVI catamaran rentals ), price, travel dates, party size, whether you need to rent a boat with a captain or you need a bareboat BVI yacht rental, and plenty of other filters that allow you to narrow or broaden your search depending on your preferences. In addition to planning for the type of charter you’d like for your trip, you should also keep in mind that Sailo offers weekly boat rentals in the British Virgin Islands.

Weekly BVI bareboat yacht charters and captained rentals

Many travelers visiting the Caribbean love a BVI boat rental for a week or longer because it allows for more time and availability to see and do everything they hope for while on their trip. The British Virgin Islands boat rentals are absolutely beautiful, and they offer just as much fun as they do relaxation. That’s why Sailo recommends visiting for at least one week so you can make sure you get to check off everything on your BVI bucket list.

Another benefit of renting a weekly yacht charter in the BVI is that for a lot of the Sailo boats you have the option to reserve for free. Within the first 24 hours, you can put a hold on the boat of your choice, modify the reservation, and cancel if it isn’t the right private boat charter in BVI for you, all without a credit card requirement. Sailo also allows you to hire a skipper or rent a bareboat BVI yacht charter depending on your previous boating experience and your travel needs.

Additionally, you can add extras like transportation to and from the marina and add watersport equipment if your BVI yacht charter offers that option.

To find out which are the BVI boat charters that you can reserve for free for 24 hours, apply filter “Instant book” on the top of the listings page.

Visiting the British Virgin Islands by a boat charter

So what will you do once you get to the islands? Our list of recommendations is full of things to do that could easily fill up a week-long vacation, so for now we’ll share our top tips for seeing the British Virgin Islands by a boat charter in one week.

Start off your trip on a beautiful Tortola catamaran rental . After spending a day or two exploring the major landmarks, it’s time to set sail on one of our great BVI boat charters. Sail south to Peter Island, the largest island in the BVI with some of the most gorgeous scenery you’ll see on your trip. We recommend anchoring and hiking to the top of the island — the views are spectacular.

On the next day, cruise past the turquoise cays and picturesque grottos on Virgin Gorda and make your way to Leverick Bay. Go snorkeling near the reefs or try your hand at more advanced watersports here, too.

Over the next few days, head to the island of Anegada, known for its coral reefs and amazing marine life that feels otherworldly, and explore the local flair of Beef Island before heading to Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island in the south. Finally, head back to beautiful Tortola where your trip on one of Sailo’s BVI yacht charters began.

Other nearby Caribbean locations to explore

If you want to extend your trip and explore some more, we recommend checking out the things to do in the U.S. Virgin Islands or nearby. All of the Caribbean offers its own unique atmosphere and culture, so try renting a sailboat in another destination to see how the islands differ.

Testimonials

We just returned from our bare boat charter with Conch Charters. We spent 3 weeks sailing around the USVI & the BVI. It was an amazing trip !! This was our 3rd time chartering with Conch. The first 2 times we chartered a monohull. This time we chartered a catamaran. The people who work at Conch are one of the main reasons that we continue to charter with Conch. Every single person that we have come in contact with is not superbly qualified but also super nice and very easy to work with. The boats are always well maintained and in great condition. From the bed linens to the generator, everything is always perfect. We are already planning our bare boat charter for next year - of course with Conch Charters !!!!

Katy T, Feb 2024

As we embark on our second charter with Conch (to whom we have referred everyone that wanted to go to the BVI that we know) we just wanted to thank all of you (and especially Hazelle) for all of your kindness, help, patience and information. Without doubt, your customer service ethic is the best we have seen anywhere. We have all worked for The Walt Disney Company in our lives so we know good customer service.... Thank you again. We are so excited to be seeing Conch Charters and the BVI again.

We had the BEST vacation on "Sol Liv". Captain James and Chef Robyn were easy and fun to be around, and provided wonderful - and seemingly effortless- hospitality. The boat was beautiful, spotless, and spacious and somehow never seemed crowded--plenty of room to spread out and catch a nap when sailing. In addition to sailing the boat, Captain James was a master-bartender; he created a different "captain's cocktail" (aka "sundowners") each day, even providing the kids with beautiful nonalcoholic versions. And Robyn--she is truly a master chef. The creations that she made were not just visually stunning, but delicious as well. The four kids on the boat had a blast; in addition to swimming and snorkeling, they had jousting competitions on the paddleboards, and even tried to catch one of the tarpons that orbited the boat at night (no luck). I am so grateful to have been on this trip.

We just finished our 8 day bareboat charter on Voyages 590e "Miles Away" and had an amazing time. Everything from the boat itself, to the Voyage staff and the experience of being in the BVI was simply incredible. Highly recommend Voyage as they are a boutique family owned charter company that focuses on customer satisfaction first! Check them out !!

This was our second charter with Voyage and just like the first it was a phenomenal experience! They tailored the itinerary and menus to what our group requested. The boat was clean and in pristine condition. The layout was so well thought out. We had 12 people in our party and never felt crowded on Sol Liv. Tony and Claudia took great care of us and made sure we all had fun. We have experienced other charter companies before and it is not the same as Voyage. We will definitely travel with Voyage again in the future!

My family and I just got back from a sailing trip in the BVIs with Voyage Charters and, although I had never been sailing and had no idea what to expect going in, it exceeded all expectations I could have ever had. Our boat was named Sol Liv and it was BEAUTIFUL and so fancy! There were 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, not including crew quarters. Even though we had a family of 11 onboard, we never felt crowded and like we were constantly on top of each other. We also had our own Chef (Danielle, Denzie as Ryan calls her) and Captain (Ryan) who were both incredible. They knew the islands very well and always had a super fun day planned for us. My mom went into the trip with a few places she wanted to see/visit, which were accommodated, but some of the stops were places Ryan and Danielle recommended which we really appreciated since they are locals to the area! Danielle, was outstanding and made the most delicious meals with recipes I had never had before. Every meal we had was delicious and I am still in awe that she was able to cook that efficiently for 11 people. She would even go into town to acquire local foods so that everything was nice and fresh. I hope she makes a cookbook because I need those recipes! The Captain, Ryan, was also wonderful and went above and beyond to take us to the best spots in the BVIs. He was always ready with the dinghy to take us to shore whenever we wanted. He also went out of his way to take us on 2 separate hikes to places he thought we would like and had pretty views (first along the ridge on Norman Island, then at Cane Garden Bay). My brother and mom also lost their sunglasses in the water and Ryan went down and retrieved them for them. Danielle and Ryan were such a hospitable crew and felt like part of the family the whole trip (they even joined us for family game night 😊 ). I highly recommend Voyage Charters, especially if you have Ryan and Danielle onboard. We will definitely be back and will request this dynamic duo!!

My family and I recently returned from 8 days aboard "Electrified" with Captain Tony and his wonderful wife and Chef, Claudia, and had the most amazingly wonderful time! There was plenty for all of us to do - my kids are 14, 12 and 8, and it was the perfect mix of a relaxing and active vacation. Captain Tony knew of our interests from the Preference Packet ahead of time and set a course of travel through the BVIs based on our interests. Once he got to know us even better during the trip, at various times he asked us our preference of activities and was flexible to amend the schedule to accommodate our interests. His sailing expertise made us ALL feel very comfortable and relaxed! (We had never lived on a boat before!) Chef Claudia made delicious meals for us every day! She too had carefully read our Preference Sheets and knew what types of food my family likes best. The variety and depth of the food was amazing, and the timing of when we eat was always perfect! Together, they created a vacation that included lots of snorkeling, swimming, sunning, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and hiking (when we stopped on land). They know the BVIs so well so therefore knew all the best places - both known and less known!, and shared those with us. Not only was it a vacation we will never forget, but I am confident we will be lifelong friends with Tony and Claudia! Thank you Voyage Charters for the trip of a lifetime!

Truly you can never have a bad experience sailing with Voyage! We have sailed with Voyage Yacht Charters for almost 20 years and each trip has been exceptional. From the planning to preparing to answering questions, Shawn makes everything easy before you arrive at Soper's Hole. Then once you get to the marina, the entire Voyage team ensures that your experience is first rate from the moment you step on their dock until the final wave goodbye. Whether it is your first time sailing (like our entire crew) or your 20th year, Voyage makes you feel like family and does everything possible to ensure you have a great trip.

Just spent a week on power cat “Out of Office” with Captain Blade and Chef Jena. I can hardly put into words how AMAZING this trip was. The boat, the service, the food, the snorkeling, the restaurants & bars - everything exceeded our expectations. Blade & Jena were both exceptional, and absolutely made our trip. Jena’s food was five star - every single meal!! We all can’t stop talking about it. Can’t wait to repeat this vacation…hopefully sooner rather than later. If you’re on the fence, book the trip! You won’t regret it. Thanks Voyage, Blade and Jena for the memories that will last a lifetime.

BVI 7-Day Sail. Voyage is a wonderfully managed family business. The 590's layout is superb, and after shopping around other charter companies it's evident that Voyage's building their own boats based on charter business feedback is what sets this boat apart. Jena is a great chef and Stephan is an accommodating and fun captain.

We just returned from One of the best trips we have ever taken. We spent a week sailing the BVI and could not say enough about this trip the boat was gorgeous, the staff was friendly accommodating and it was first class service all around. We had used another charter company in the past and were apprehensive about even going on another sale trip but after getting off of the boat last week let's just say… We already have reserved the same boat the same week next year! Thank you voyage for the amazing experience.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip with Voyage Charters. Each person in our group, consisting of the grandparents, a grand daughter, and a friend, had an amazing individual experience thanks to Captain Ryan and Chef Danielle’s kindness, hospitality, and dedication to what they do. We enjoyed every meal, which were all uniquely creative and a true display of Danielle’s God-given talent. She did an excellent job of catering to each person’s needs and dietary restrictions. Captain Ryan worked very hard to ensure that we experienced as much as we could in our 7-day trip, methodically planning our island hopping and our activities both on and off the boat. We embarked on our voyage during the week of Christmas, and were very impressed with the extra mile they took to make our holiday feel like one at home. As we head off the boat this morning, we’re already missing the fun times with Ryan and Danielle. We will cherish the scenery, hospitality, memories, meals, and new friendships forevermore.

British Virgin Island Yacht Charters

Find the virgin islands vacation perfect for you.

Visiting the British Virgin Islands means direct flights into St. Thomas from a number of major US airport hubs and easy private jetport options and then a short ferry or water taxi ride into the BVIs.

The Virgin Islands has the largest number of charter yachts to choose from in both size and style. Inclusive pricing and the best values compared to any other location make the VIs the most popular charter destination .

The  35 mile island chain of British Virgin Islands has options — from busy harbors to quiet out of the way spots but always with clear blue Caribbean sea. Plus lots of calm tranquil anchorages!

Gypsy Princess

Enjoy the BVI aboard Gypsy Princess , a 45 ft Lagoon. This popular charter yacht has 3 queen cabins with ensuites, both forward and aft cockpits, a fly bridge and a social salon. Recycling is a breeze for this certified green team, a clean team and dream team, with innovative fun ideas and locally sourced food sublimely served. Biff and Amy between them are instructors in the skills of: sailing, powerboating, waterskiing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and paddle boarding.

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.

What yacht charter are you looking for?

Bvi yacht charter, charter a luxury yacht in the british virgin islands.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are known worldwide as a sailing mecca, and there are many reasons for that. The BVI’s landscape is just picture-perfect, with many secluded anchorages, and authentic natural wonders. The BVI’s proximity to the US makes it easy to get to with direct flights from several major US cities, unwinding from the busy city life has never been easier. Select from our diverse range of yachts and explore an amazing itinerary, tailored specifically to your preferences by our expert team. A huge advantage of the BVI is that there is no VAT on yacht charters, making it significantly more affordable than other prime destinations. Spend less on tax and more on luxury.

WHY CHARTER IN THE BVI?

TRUE SAILING MECCA

The BVI has everything a good charter needs: Perfect clear water, amazing dive sites, good hiking, great weather conditions for sailing, tons of stunning anchorages, and natural wonders like the baths and the Indians, a top snorkeling site. A yacht charter is the best way to explore the BVI, granting ultimate freedom and beachfront accommodation in all the top destinations.

In the BVI there is no Value Added Tax (VAT) on yacht charters. This makes yacht charters significantly more affordable compared to charter destinations where VAT is applicable. It is important to note that VAT is the norm in countries where chartering is popular, with some destinations such as Greece seeing VAT of a whole 25%. Our charter brokers offer you a hassle-free process.

HUGE YACHT SELECTION

Explore our extensive yacht selection, featuring vessels for every preference and occasion. From luxurious motor yachts to sleek catamarans, our fleet offers diverse options for your charter needs. Additionally, we provide yachts available for charter from the US Virgin Islands (USVI). Get in contact with one of our charter brokers so they can help you match you with your dream charter yacht.

TYPES OF YACHT CHARTERS IN THE BVI

When it comes to yacht types in the BVI, we usually recommend catamarans and motor yachts . This is primarily due to the region’s shallow waters, greatly limiting accessibility for deep-drafted yachts.

The British Virgin Islands are considered one of the best-crewed catamaran destinations in the world. Our Catamarans operating in the area have evolved significantly and are now bigger and more luxurious than ever , making them a popular option even in high-end charters. With their larger size, superior stability, and luxurious amenities, guests can enjoy more space and comfort while on their BVI yacht charters. A fully crewed catamaran is a comfortable alternative to motor yachts, especially above the 60ft+ range.

“We have seen a growing demand for luxury motor yachts among high-end charter guests”

But while the British Virgin Islands have traditionally been known as sailing destinations, we have seen a growing demand for luxury motor yachts among high-end charter guests. As the marinas compete to accommodate more and larger vessels, their numbers increase. There are now over 200 large (100+ feet meters) motor yachts operating in the BVI in the high season. The motor yachts offer more privacy and prestige, more water toys, and comfort as they can accommodate a larger number of guests and crew. (Note that jet skis are not allowed in the BVI).

Talk to one of our expert charter brokers to understand more about the different yacht types and their distinct advantages.

Our Recommendations

Our senior charter brokers Daniel Asmus and Yanna Pristas have selected these Top 10 Catamarans and Top 10 Motor Yachts as a proposition of the first choice when choosing a crewed catamaran the BVI. Note that many of these are booked way ahead, inquiring early is essential. Non-resident catamarans might be available on your dates.

Keep in mind

Essential Info for Chartering in the BVI

Chartering a yacht from the USVI to the BVI.

We have a lot of our clients asking us: “What happens if I find a charter yacht in the USVI, but I want to do a charter in the BVI?” That is completely possible, as long as the yacht you are choosing has the correct paperwork to go to the BVI.

“Be sure to pick a broker who knows what paperwork is needed to go to the BVI, and can check that the paperwork is actually done. This is the biggest issue we are seeing.”

Mo Pristas, Charter Guru with DMA Yachting.

Charter Season and Early Booking

The main charter season in the BVI spans from December to March , with a peak around Christmas/New Year. Notice the interesting months of April and November, which offer discounted deals in the British Virgin Islands.

Make sure to book your BVI yacht charter well in advance. Ideally, you would inquire about your coming charter 12 months in advance .  WHY? The best charter yachts are often fully booked  long in advance and it’s not unusual to see popular dates booked  2 summers ahead  for a BVI yacht charter. Inquiring less than 6 months ahead often means that your first choice is unavailable for charter.

Selecting A Private Yacht Charter Broker

When it’s time to charter a yacht for your trip to the British Virgin Islands, it’s important to choose a broker with a local presence on the ground , and one that has the most experience in the market.

At DMA Yachting we have a permanent presence in the British Virgin Islands, which gives us first-hand and up-to-date knowledge and experience of boats, the local fleet, crews, and the little local secrets that give that final touch for achieving the perfect luxury yacht charter vacation.

At DMA we care about real experience and that is why our team of charter brokers consists of experienced sailors and ex-charter crew . Not only do they know the yachts and destinations, but also the ins and outs of day-to-day life onboard.

Our favorite spots

WHERE TO GO IN THE BVI

Our itineraries in the BVI include a variety of iconic destinations, including The Baths on Virgin Gorda , known for its stunning granite boulders and serene pools. Our clients also like to visit The Indians near Norman Island , offering vibrant coral reefs for amazing snorkeling adventures. Additionally, we explore other iconic islands such as Jost Van Dyke , home to the famous beach bars of White Bay , and Anegada , renowned for its pristine beaches and lobster-filled waters. With our customizable itinerary , you can tailor your journey to include any destination you desire, ensuring a truly personalized experience in the BVI.

Jost Van Dyke

A beautiful island in the British Virgin Islands, Jost Van Dyke is a must-see for yacht charters looking to experience some of the best scuba diving in the world . The waters around the Jost Van Dyke land are flourishing with marine life- creating an incredible opportunity for snorkeling and other water sports.

Even though it is one of the smallest leeward islands in the  BVI , the yacht charters will be treated to  spectacular scenery  and authentic experiences in Jost Van Dyke. Don’t miss a visit to the Great Harbour Bars of Foxy’s and Ivan’s for a drink, the peaceful energy of Diamond Cay , and the crashing waves of Bubbly Pool .

Connect yourself with the local culture at White Bay – a magical place of positive energy in BVI yacht charters. Swim from your boat to the famous Soggy Dollar bar for a painkiller. Hang out in the hammock in Hendo’s Hideout, get a roti or seafood, and relax on the beach. Weekends are more party-like, with day trips from USVI filling the beach bars.

White Bay is a magical place of positive energy for the Virgin Islands yacht charter. Swim from your boat to the famous Soggy Dollar bar to taste the legendary local cocktail, the Painkiller . Hang out in the hammock in Hendo’s Hideout , get a roti or seafood, and relax on the beach at happy hour.

Virgin Gorda

Virgin Gorda is the third largest island in the British Virgin Islands, with just over 4,000 people. It’s known for its beautiful white sands, the rock pools known as The Baths , and world-class luxury resorts and clubs for BVI yacht charters. There are also some great hiking trails on Virgin Gorda with sweeping views of the island’s coastline-making it an ideal destination for visitors with  bareboat catamarans .

After soaking up the sunshine and saltwater activities in Virgin Gorda, consider visiting the Copper Mine National Park . These 19th-century abandoned ruins are found between Copper Mine Bay and Crooks Bay on the island’s southeastern point. The structures were built by Cornish miners and housed around 130 families before the mine was closed in 1862.

This tiny island is arguably one of the most pristine places in the world, and it makes sense why it has become synonymous with white sand beaches. Loblolly Beach , Bay Beach , and Cow Wreck Beach are not to be missed in BVI yacht charters.

Anegada Sea is also home to the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean . You’ll find turtles, nurse sharks, stingrays, and even manta rays!

The island has a modest road network, little traffic, and is best discovered on a boat. However, those who choose to explore on land will find easy hiking trails that offer a unique view of the topography.

Necker Island

If you’re looking for a getaway as close to paradise as possible, look no further than Necker Island for your British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter.

Necker Island is one of the world’s most exclusive and expensive destinations . Owned by Sir Richard Branson since 1978, it has been used as a private island for selective guests and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and David Bowie . And if you’re wondering whether you can enjoy some of this luxury, the answer is yes.

Guests can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving in the clear waters surrounding the island or relax on one of the private beaches during their BVI Yacht Charter.

Guests can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving in the clear waters surrounding the island or relax on one of the turquoise-colored beaches.

Norman Island

Norman Island is another privately owned island, this 600-acre paradise on earth provides sandy coves and an extensive network of caves waiting to be explored. This island is a premium snorkeling destination for all water enthusiasts and BVI yacht charters.

The history of Norman Island is tied to pirates and legends tell that Norman Island was a place where they hid their treasures. Some say that Treasure Island , the famed novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, is based on the history of Norman Island.

The island has several bays and dive sites worth getting acquainted with, including Benures Bay and The Bight . You can also partake in an evening of drinking at the legendary floating bar of Willy T .

Tortola is the largest island in the British Virgin Islands. It’s home to some of the best diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean- especially in Cane Garden Bay . Tortola Island also has many historical sites and points of interest. Don’t miss a visit to Smuggler’s Cove , a perfect shallow reef ideal for scuba beginners and untouched by civilization.

To get a taste of authentic Caribbean living from your BVI charter vacation, venture into Torrola’s Road Town . The freedom of your own private yacht lets you explore the colorful streets and enjoy laid-back evenings tasting rum-infused cocktails from the beach bars. A visit to the Callwood Rum Distillery is a must, as is a stroll around the Craft’s Alive Village for souvenir shopping.

Something special

The hottest months in the BVI are July and August, with average temperatures of 28°C - but October often feels hotter, as the winds are less and humidity higher after the hurricane season. Peak season temperatures average 25.5°C

Trade winds bless the BVI almost year-round. From November to January, the wind is a steady NE 15-20 knots, strengthening around Christmas to 25 knots. By mid/late February, the winds veer to SE and soften to 10-15 knots.

The British Virgin Islands use the US Dollar as their official currency, and have done so since 1959. Most credit/debit cards are accepted, except for Amex, and you should always cary some cash for moorings or bars

The BVI is blessed with a subtropical climate. Outside hurricane season (August to October), the weather is warm and rainfall is low. Peak season is December to March - we suggest going in April or May, for fewer crowds and excellent conditions

Best Towns to Charter in the BVI

These are Borrow a Boat's pick of the top charter towns across the British Virgin Islands, from Road Town to Nanny Cay. Select from sailing yachts, catamarans or motor yachts and enjoy sensational sailing conditions, wonderful weather and buzzing beach bars.

The best town to chart a yacht in the British Virgin Islands is Road Town. Tortola has lovely destinations on the island, but no town has a better selection of rental boats and shops to get your food, liquor, and other supplies before you leave.

While all the inhabited islands have some food shopping, Road Town has the best variety and prices for provisioning.

Wickham's Cay (1 & 2) are marinas in the middle of Road Town, and easily accessible from the airport.

Nanny Cay Resort and Marina is more than just a marina, with a 40-room hotel overlooking tropical gardens, two restaurants, a spa, salon, and condominiums and townhouses for sale and rent.

You can either use the resort hotel to extend your stay in BVI or book a charter yacht with Borrow a Boat for a day or two's sailing vacation as part of a traditional British Virgin Island vacation while staying at Nanny Cay Hotel.

The inner marina and outer marina have top quality services available, ranging from reliable electricity to free wifi and luxury shower facilities.

Scrub Island

Scrub Island Resort and Marina sits in the middle of a luxury resort, and offers an outdoor pool, a private beach area, free Wi-Fi and ocean views.

The shallows around the island make for a great snorkel or dive. A great place to start and end a BVI yacht charter.

You can reach Scrub Island with a free shuttle transfer from Trellis Bay Ferry Dock. The dock is a short walk from the airport terminal, but we recommend reservation a taxi for the two-minute journey (about USD 9 per person).

Best BVI Sailing Areas

Tortola is the main chartering center in the BVIs. Chartering in the British Virgin Island group isn't about lengthy sailing trips, you're already in the destination. The sailing is fantastic, with reliable breezes and clean water, but the distances are not long.

In a week you can visit most of the top spots and pick a route that suits your preferences. Besides the main population centers on Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke, there are dozens of smaller islands and cays to visit on your BVI yacht charter.

Tortola is the largest population center in the islands, and where most BVI yacht charters start. In Road Town you'll find Wickham's Cay 1 and Wickham's Cay 2 , popular marinas to start a yacht charter.

A couple of kilometers outside town you'll find the Nanny Cay and Sea Cow Bay charter yacht bases and marinas. If you're leaving from any of these places, provisioning is best in Road Town if you haven't contracted with the charter operator to have the boat stocked.

East End Bay is another popular yacht charter base, with Hodge's Creek Marina for taking on fuel and water, and shopping and provisions nearby.

At the other end of the island, you'll find Soper's Hole in West End, a popular site for visiting yachts with waterfront shops, bars, and moorings. On the north side of the island, you can visit Cane Garden Bay with beachfront bars and restaurants right off the white sand.

Browse yacht in Tortola

Jost Van Dyke

Three miles from Tortola, Jost Van Dyke is another favorite destination. On the south side of the island, you can drop an anchor for the day in White Bay and head into the sparkling white sandy beach with beach bars like the Soggy Dollar and Ivan's Stress-Free Bar. Just to the east it White Bay, Great Harbour is home a variety of beach bars and eating places, including the world famous Foxy's - the place to be on New Year's Eve.

To the east, you can spend a night end in Garner Bay and head ashore for dinner. Or keep going to Diamond Cay on the east end of the island. It's a quieter place to moor, snorkel, and swim, with a restaurant on shore near the beach. A short walk takes you to the Bubbly Pool, a small bit of natural beauty and a fun spot to spend the high tide.

Virgin Gorda

The third largest of the British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda has some of the best-known sights in the islands and lots of space to moor and anchor in North Sound. Around the sound are several resorts and restaurants to visit, though as of this writing not all of them have re-opened since the recent hurricane damage to the area. There are plenty of spots to snorkel and swim in North Sound, and more white sandy beaches.

At the south end of the island, The Baths are maybe the best-known sight in the BVIs. Temporary day moorings for charter yachts and dinghies are available, but you cannot spend the night.

Sail around from North Sound or take a taxi through Spanish Town to see the rock formations and snorkel in the rock formations.

In Spanish Town you'll find restaurants and shops along the waterfront. You can stay on moorings off town or in the marina, the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour.

This is the most off the beaten path spot in the British Virgin Islands and considered one of the most beautiful spots in the Caribbean Sea.

Almost fifteen miles past Virgin Gorda, Anegada is in the far corner of the islands and the only coral island in the British Virgin Islands. It's a flat, low-lying island surrounded by stunning coral and white sand beaches.

On shore, besides world-class beaches, you'll find walking trails with rare birds and iguanas and natural springs, and excellent restaurants and bars. Anegada is famous for its lobster and conch fisheries and the dining is outstanding.

Norman Island

South of Tortola lie the "little sisters" - a string of islands along the southern edge of the BVIs. The most south and west is Norman Island, famed as an inspiration for "Treasure Island". It's rumored that several pirates buried treasure of a time on the island, which is riddled with caves and hiding places.

The Bight in Norman Island is the most popular harbor, with moorings, space to anchor, a beach bar and restaurant, and the (in)famous Willy T - a floating bar.

Around the west end of the island are caves popular for snorkeling and diving and easy to reach by dinghy. Norman Island is close to The Indians , one of the top snorkeling spots in the Caribbean.

Most of the Little Sisters have moorings to pick up or spots to anchor. Some have resorts or restaurants on shore to visit, or beaches.

Peter Island, Salt Island, Cooper Island

Just east of Norman Island, Peter Island has six anchorages around its coast. Three have moorings and are suitable for overnight moorings - Little Harbour, Great Harbour, and Sprat Bay. Sprat Bay has limited moorings, but has a dock with water, fuel, ice and trash disposal. There are plenty of great spots to swim and snorkel.

Salt Island is an uninhabited island between Peter Island and Cooper Island doesn't have overnight moorings, but has day moorings where you can park.

It's near the national park with the wreck of the RMS Rhone and is a popular staging spot for diving and snorkeling near the wreck.

Cooper island has an excellent mooring field on the west side of the island and easy access ashore. Crystal clear water and sea grass beds attract rays and turtles to this popular snorkeling spot.

Looking for something more luxurious?

Luxury yacht charters are available on either a sailing yacht (sailboat), catamaran, motorboat or gulet and will have a crew and host/hostess on hand to cater for whatever your needs are. Your captain will have detailed knowledge of the cruising area.

On a luxury yacht charter or a crewed yacht charter, your professional crew will create a personalised itinerary for your own Greece highlight tour, and you'll have far greater range than on other boats, which allows you to travel further and do and see more. Plus you'll have a top-class chef on hand to create incredible meals.

Why Charter in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands offer a wide variety of destinations and experiences to meet almost everyone's dream sailing vacation. From quiet anchorages with few lights and traffic, to lively beach bars with great food and live music, you'll find something to suit your mood.

There's a reason the BVIs are such a popular and magnificent charter destination. There's everything from secluded out-of-the-way anchorages to hopping party spots.

If your vacation is about an easy vacation sailing somewhere warm and beautiful without the hassles of long passages, the BVIs fit the bill.

The one word to describe chartering a yacht in the British Virgin Islands is easy. Since chartering and tourism are big industries in the islands, you'll find everything you need for a successful Caribbean vacation.

Most charters originate in Tortola, a convenient place to start your trip. The best shopping and provisioning are right in town and close to the boat.

Plenty of boats of all varieties are available for your Caribbean yacht charter, from sailing monohulls and catamarans to power cats, cabin cruisers, and luxury yachts.

If you're not experienced, or you want to sit back and relax instead of navigating and cooking, skilled captains and crews are available.

The British Virgin Islands are not large, but has over fifty islands and cays, sixteen of which are inhabited. The islands spread over 150 square kilometers of water, so most islands are a short sail in between. You can set sail after a leisurely breakfast and sail to a new island with time for an afternoon at the beach.

Through the islands, twenty-one national parks on land and underwater protect waters and wildlife for snorkeling, diving, and hiking. The National Parks Trust of the Virgin Islands maintains the parks and day buoys for large boats and dinghies.

Most charter rentals have a park pass included with the boat, make sure it's since you don't want to miss places like the RMS Rhone Marine Park, The Baths, or The Indians.

The beauty of sailing the BVIs is that a change of scenery is just a short sail away. The sailing is beautiful and fun, navigation is easy and line of sight, and the winds are reliable.

If you're ready for beach bars and night life after a couple of days of beaches, hiking and snorkeling you can decide where to go next during breakfast and settle in your new spot by early afternoon.

Bareboat, captained yacht or crewed charter?

You don't need to know how to sail to rent a boat in Greece as you can go for a captained boat rental where the captain can get you wherever you want to go.

If you're more confident and have the relevant licences, you can go for a bareboat rental. Captained charters are available on nearly all boats as an optional extra.

When using Borrow A Boat you can filter all boat searches to be with or without captain depending on what you are looking for, and below we cover some of the main points to consider for your boat rent

Bareboat Yacht Charter

Bareboat charters offer qualified and experienced sailors the ultimate freedom to explore where they want, when they want.

You are the captain, you plan the route, and you are ultimately responsible for the safety of the boat and all of your crew.

For skilled sailors, a bareboat charter is lower cost and gives more privacy for you and your charter guests.

Many sailors prefer to helm the boat and choose their own course, and provided you have the knowledge and relevant qualifications you can captain (typically up to 54 feet/16.5 meters in length) yourself.

Browse Bareboat Yachts

Captained Yacht Charter

Getting a captained charter in the BVIs is easy and takes a lot of stress from your vacation. If you're a beginning sailor, or not a sailor at all, you can take a dream yacht charter vacation.

There is a per diem charge for a captain and any additional crew, and you will need to provide food and a berth on the boat. You can hire captains to teach sailing and build your skills while you enjoy the cruise.

A captained yacht charter or crewed motor yacht will cost you a little more but you get the peace of mind of having someone aboard who knows the waters and can get you safely to all the destinations you want.

Where it comes to a captained boat rental for your sailing vacation, the captain will also know some of the best places to go to meet your needs.

Browse Captained Yachts

Do you need a licence to charter in the BVI?

While you do not technically require a sailing licence to bareboat charter a yacht in the BVIs, we do recommend obtaining one before you book your charter.

If you do not hold a yachting licence, charter companies will require a sailing resume as proof of competence and may require you to undertake a quick competence check before you are allowed to leave the base.

You will need to prove that you are comfortable and safe manoeuvring the yacht.

If you have any doubts at all about your experience and ability to handle a charter yacht, talk to your broker.

It may be a good idea to hire a captain for your trip, or to enroll onto a course before your charter.

Best Times to Rent a Yacht in the BVIs

The busiest weeks in the BVIs are around Christmas to the New Year. The weather is nicest in the winter, and many people take their sailing vacations with family and friends during the peak season.

Peak season is December through March, though fine sailing happens on both ends of the season in November and May and June.

Hurricane season runs from mid-August through mid-October, and the weather is warmer, more humid and less predictable.

You can charter off-peak; you will usually have pleasant conditions and rates are lower. But there is a slight risk you may have to cancel your vacation if a storm threatens. Many rentals will refund charters if they recall you for seasonal storms, but make sure of the policy before reservation.

The Climate

The primary BVI sailing condition is "delightful." The peak season has the most wind, with steady 15-20 knots making for fast, fun sailing.

While you may get a brief tropical shower, most days are sunny and warm with a good breeze. At the edges of the high season, the winds soften as the temperature rises.

A light jacket or wind breaker is the heaviest sailing gear for sailing in breeze on warm, sunny days.

If you are looking for the cheapest rates and the smallest crowds, off-peak season runs from April through October, though there is that small risk of a hurricane cancelation in August, September and October.

The peak seasons are "peak" for a reason though. Prices are higher and availability lower, but the weather is more comfortable, with the best breezes for sailing. But there will be more people, and most moorings will fill up fast.

How Much Does it Cost to Rent Yachts in the BVIs?

Yacht rent prices in the British Virgin Islands vary with the size and type of the yacht and the time of year of your charter.

During the peak seasons, entry level forty-foot monohulls start at $300 per day and increase with the size of the boat. The most expensive yachts may run up to $4,000 per day for a deluxe bareboat catamaran, but a more typical cost for a fifty-two foot catamaran (sleeps twelve) is closer to $1,500 per day.

Off peak, you may save as much as 30% off the high-season rates.

A skilled captain may cost you from $200 to $250 per day.

You will be required to put a deposit on your yacht charter when you sign the rental agreement, with the balance due a month or before the charter. The deposit may run from 20% to 50% of the total charter fee, including crew and add-ons.

Some charters have an optional cancelation insurance you may purchase when reservation to protect your deposit if you have a chance of cancelation.

Check the cancelation policy, many charters canceled far in advance (over 120 days) will only incur a cancelation fee instead of losing the whole deposit.

Rentals also require a security deposit against damage. This is sometimes offered as a combination of non-refundable liability insurance and a small refundable deposit.

The other option is a much larger security deposit, which they refund when you return the boat without damage.

US Virgin Islands

It is legal to rent a yacht in the British Virgin Islands. The industry is regulated, and charter vessels pay different taxes and fees. When arranging a yacht rent make sure the boat you are renting is a legitimate commercial rental with the proper permits. A rental agency will only deal with legal rentals.

Sailing catamarans and monohulls, power cats, motor boats, smaller powerboats, and day sailors are all available for rent. It’s wise to reserve in advance, especially in the peak seasons.

Think about what sort of vacation you want, and what your skill levels are for making sure you have an enjoyable time. Where do you want to go, what do you want to do and who will be with you? Priorities are different for a group of four couples versus two families with kids.

The shoulders of the high season – November and March – can be a suitable compromise if you are looking to avoid peak season pricing and crowds but still avoid hurricane risks and the summer heat.

Most yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands will require a deposit to hold your boat for you and will require a form of security deposit, Liability & Damage insurance, or a combination of both.

Most charter companies have a service guarantee and will send a technician to fix your yacht within a few hours of calling. The BVIs are small enough that a boat can be dispatched anywhere to support you if there is a problem. In the worst-case scenario, the company will find a replacement boat or refund your charter, though this is unlikely.

Residents of the UK, Europe, the United States and Canada do not need a visa for a vacation visit to the BVIs, only a valid passport.

If you are from another country, check this list to see the visa requirements for your home country.

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.

Exploring the Top Destinations in the British Virgin Islands

With your bags packed and tips in hand, it’s time for you to set sail and explore the top destinations in the British Virgin Islands, where pristine beaches and vibrant marine life await. Your first stop should be Tortola, the largest island. Here, you’ll find Road Town, a harbor city brimming with Caribbean culture. Don’t forget to visit the Callwood Rum Distillery to get a taste of local flavors.

Next, head over to Virgin Gorda, renowned for The Baths, a geological wonder consisting of massive granite boulders. Here, you can swim in the unique tidal pools or explore the hidden caves. The island is also home to Gorda Peak National Park, a tropical forest with panoramic views.

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.
