YOUR TIME IS VALUABLE, DON'T WASTE A MINUTE OF IT!

BEAUTIFUL NEW BOATS, IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE, AND FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF

Virgin Islands Yacht Charters directly manages the charter fleet.  We are not a broker.  We do work with many reputable and trustworthy charter brokers who regularly book our boats and are familiar with our procedures and knowledgeable of the local cruising grounds.  At the same time, there are many brokers out there who know absolutely nothing about our fleet OR even the Virgin Islands themselves.  Please be aware. 

Catamarans are wonderfully spacious and provide ample area for moving around.  Whether it is in the cockpit or salon which spans over both hulls allowing for a larger area inside, the foredeck with the trampoline  for sun-tanning, or the great lounging area on the top deck you will enjoy the variety of ways to spend your day on the water.  Cats are much more stable than their counterparts which can be much better for new or inexperienced sailors who haven't quite found their sea legs yet or those who are prone to seasickness.   Two engines allow for greater maneuverability when in a marina or picking up mooring balls and thus, have gained popularity in recent years.  And, you will love the panoramic views!

What People Are Saying . . .

The Osborn Family

VIYC was one of the best charter companies we've used. They keep their word and honor their promises. They promptly fix stuff and immediately talk us through solvable problems. They know the boat, the waters, and sailing area, the culture.

Scuby's operations briefing was one of the best I've attended in my years of chartering.

I had the pleasure of chartering a yacht from Virgin Islands Yacht Charters out of Compass Point, St Thomas.  I have chartered numerous yachts over the years; as well as operated by own charter sailing yacht for five years.  Kristi and Jim, the owners, do an outstanding job of assuring the yacht is ready to go and in top shipshape.  Any follow up or support if needed is prompt and efficient.  I highly recommend Virgin Islands Yacht Charters.

Fun at The Baths

Jim & Kristi,

Thanks so much for completing our experience. Our past charter experiences in the BVI were a mixed bag of paradise, apathetic service, and mechanically challenged yachts. God made the islands beautiful, you two made sailing them a pleasure by providing friendly service and an excellent line of yachts. This experience felt less like a charter and more like borrowing a great boat from old friends. 

We’ll be back…                                                                                          ~Rev. Seth Sundstrom

The BVIs is a beautiful British overseas territory located in the Caribbean and is considered by most to be a prime yachting location on account of its reef-lined beaches. This island consists of around 60 islands in total - four main ones and many different smaller ones. In the British Virgin Islands, catamaran charters give you the freedom to visit as many islands, beaches, and cays as you wish.

The capital of the British Virgin Islands is Road Town, located on the largest island Tortola. The capital along with Sage National Park and the Baths on Virgin Gorda are also worth visiting. With so many places to choose from, we believe that you can’t possibly be disappointed with a British Virgin Islands catamaran charter with Océans Évasion in this prime boating location. You are bound to find what you’re looking for!

Where to sail in the British Virgin Islands?

From island hopping to the beautiful white sand beaches to deep diving to check out the marine life and corals, you have plenty of options with your catamaran charter in the BVI. Each island is unique and has its very own places to visit and see! If you’re not sure what island to pick, here is a list of each island and some places to visit within it!

The largest island of the BVI, Tortola, is composed of a beautiful long chain of steep hills uninterrupted by a valley. The lush green mountains, sheltered harbors, and powdery white sand beaches make Tortola a favorite for many.

Here is a list of things to do in Tortola:

• Smuggler’s Cove Beach
• Cane Garden Bay
• Soper’s Hole
• Sage Mountain National Park

Next up, Virgin Gorda, located 80 miles east of Puerto Rico, is the gem of the BVIs. In the rocky labyrinth of enormous boulders, crystal clear pools, and seawater-flooded grottoes, there is plenty to do at sea and on land.

Here are some places you won’t want to miss:

• Gorda Peak National Park
• North Sound
• Jost Van Dyke is home to White Bay Beach, one of the most beautiful white-sand beaches you can visit in the BVIs.

If you love snorkeling, then Anegada Island is the place for you! Visit:

• Horseshoe Reef
• Loblolly Bay
• Cow Wreck Bay Beach

With so many islands to choose from, here is a list of other islands and places for you to visit during your BVI charter vacation.

On Salt Island:

• Rhone National Maritime Park
• RMS Rhone Shipwrecks

On Norman Island:

• Treasure Caves
• Santa Monica Rock

On Peter Island:

• Deadman’s Bay

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands?

There are many factors to consider when chartering a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands. The most important factor is the size of the vessel. A bigger catamaran will cost more to rent, but it will also be able to accommodate more people. Another factor to consider is the time of year. The high season for chartering a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands is during the summer months, so expect to pay more if you're chartering during this time. Finally, the length of your rental can also affect the price. If you're looking to save money, consider renting for a shorter period of time.

With Océans Evasion, catamaran prices can range between $400 and $5,300.

The harbors in the British Virgin Islands

There are many different harbors and marinas in the British Virgin Islands where you can dock your catamaran rental. Each one has its own unique atmosphere and there is sure to be one that is perfect for you.

• Road Town, Tortola is the capital of the BVI and is a bustling hub of activity. There are many shops and restaurants to explore, as well as a lively nightlife. The marina here is well-protected and is a great place to start or end your charter.
• Jost Van Dyke is a small island with a big personality. This is a popular spot for nightlife, with many bars and clubs to enjoy. The Great Harbour Marina is the perfect place to moor your catamaran rental and explore all that Jost Van Dyke has to offer.
• Virgin Gorda is known for its stunning beaches, including the world-famous Baths. The marina here is large and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Moor your catamaran rental here and enjoy all that Virgin Gorda has to offer.
• Anegada is the only coral island in the BVI and is a popular spot for snorkeling and diving. The Anegada Reef Club Marina is the perfect place to moor your catamaran rental and enjoy all that Anegada has to offer.

Whether you are looking for a bustling hub of activity or a quiet island retreat, there is sure to be a harbor or marina in the British Virgin Islands that is perfect for you.

Renting a catamaran with or without a skipper

When thinking about your catamaran charter, you may be wondering whether to book with a captain and crew or a bareboat charter. Chartering with a captain and crew is a great idea if you would like to get the full luxurious experience of a catamaran rental in the BVIs. Food and drinks will be prepared by the crew while the captain sails to your next stop!

If you want to practice your navigation skills and have a valid boating license, then a bareboat charter is a great idea. Check with the boat owner to make sure your boating license is valid for the boat.

When is the best time to go?

Generally, the weather in the BVI is hot and windy with frequent partial cloud cover. The air temperature ranges throughout the year from around 73°F from January until March, to about 88°F in August. The water temperature reaches its peak in September, when it is about 84°F, but drops down to about 78°F in February.

The BVI’s rainiest month is September, which usually sees around 3 inches of precipitation, and the driest month is March when there is typically around 0.3 inches of rain. The windiest time of year in the BVIs falls in July when the average wind speeds are around 16 mph, but this drops down to around 12 mph by around October.

In general, it is a good idea to go to the BVI from September until November, just before the hordes of tourists rush to the Caribbean to escape the cold temperatures of winter in other places. The lower number of tourists leads to lower boat prices and also less crowded beaches, which is ideal for boating holidays. However, if you do plan on sailing during this period, you should keep a close eye on the weather forecast, as it coincides with the end of hurricane season which runs from June until November.

If you plan on diving during your sailing vacation in the BVI, you should aim to go during the winter or spring as summer diving expeditions are often ruined by poor visibility. Another good time for sailors to visit these idyllic islands is in March when it is possible to enjoy the BVI Spring Regatta.

Sailing the Virgin Islands: Airbnb & VRBO Catamaran Charters

The idea of sailing in the Virgin Islands might conjure up images of celebrities and private yachts.  But it’s one of the Caribbean’s best secrets that you can sail the Virgin Islands on a catamaran or sailboat from Airbnb and VRBO.  Plus, sailing is the best way to explore the white sand beaches, gorgeous scenery, and snorkeling that make the Virgin Islands famous.  Get advice for choosing a sailing charter, plus hacks for day trippers and solo travelers!

After I did a liveaboard snorkeling trip while traveling solo in Thailand, my family decided they wanted in on the adventure.  But as we considered closer options in the Caribbean, we realized that most were large boats with mixed snorkeling and scuba diving groups.  Soon, though, I hit upon a solution: for about the same per-person cost, we could charter a private catamaran to sail the Virgin Islands.

Experienced sailors can hire a “bare boat” charter, where your group skippers, navigates, and cooks for themselves.  But luckily for those of us that don’t know our leeward from our aft, it’s also possible to charter a boat with a captain and crew.  In this guide I’ll share the easiest way to charter a boat and what to expect, the best sights of the US and British Virgin Islands, and all the tips you need to plan an amazing vacation.

Virgin Islands Sailing Overview & Planning

What to expect sailing in the virgin islands.

How does a totally effortless vacation sound, with your only decisions being when to eat, snorkel, lounge, and drink tropical cocktails?  What about falling asleep to the gentle motions of the boat and sound of waves, then waking up with views of blue sky and turquoise waters from the portals?  

If you choose a Virgin Islands charter with a captain and crew, you can completely relax! It’s common for couples to crew boats together and take care of everything.  If you choose a boat with just a captain, you’ll likely pick up some sailing skills helping out.  And members of your group can pitch in to take turns preparing meals and cleaning up.

For those who haven’t spent much time on a boat, the living space might be smaller than you expect. But you’ll have the ocean and beaches for your playground every day, and can arrange the itinerary to go ashore for dinners at low-key beach restaurants.  In short, pack bathing suits, sunscreen, cover-ups, and casual dresses, and leave the heels at home!  (More packing tips later!)

Advice on the best Airbnb St. Thomas stays for a tropical escape, from budget condos to mid range resorts & luxury villas for a group. Includes bonus tips on the best beaches, sights, and tours for planning your getaway.

About the Virgin Islands

Did you know there are actually three different groups of Virgin Islands?  Well, I didn’t, until I took this trip!  The British Virgin Islands are the most popular and well-known.  Made up of over 50 islands, the BVI are some of the least-developed spots in the Caribbean, but their largest islands are renowned as luxury destinations.  The beautiful beaches and party bars of Jost Van Dyke are here, as are the picturesque grottoes of the Virgin Gorda Baths.

Just 20 miles away lie the US Virgin Islands, known as “America’s paradise.”  Its three islands – St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix – each has a different attraction for travelers.  St. Thomas is famed as a luxury getaway, while the island of St. John is ⅔ undeveloped. Still, there are tons of things to do in St. John , including a national park perfect for snorkeling and hiking.  Further south, St. Croix offers colonial history and tours of the Cruzan Rum distillery in addition to spectacular snorkeling.

The Spanish Virgin Islands are actually part of Puerto Rico, so the name is a holdover from when the island belonged to Spain.  In the SVI, you’ll find the unspoiled beaches of Culebra and a bioluminescent bay in Vieques.  Many travelers here say that these islands remind them of the quieter BVI of years past.  

US residents can travel in the USVI and SVI without a passport, but will need one to enter the BVI.

Booking a Virgin Islands Sailing Charter 

In both the BVI and USVI, there are companies that exclusively provide sailing charter rentals.  If you want a bare boat charter, one of these companies is likely the best option, as they can advise on all the options and considerations for your trip.

However, for a crewed boat, I found that the easiest way to arrange a Virgin Islands charter was to use a site like VRBO or Airbnb.   Both offer online reviews, and their bookings follow the same policies as regular vacation rentals on those sites.  You can also message with the host before you book to ask any questions.

I’ll share more recommended options later in this guide. I always recommend always booking through a reputable company, so that you have assistance should you need it.

How Long Should You Stay in the Virgin Islands?

Depending on the length of your trip and options from your captain, you might be able to see all of the Virgin Islands.  On our one-week Virgin Islands itinerary, we didn’t have time for the Spanish Islands, but easily saw all of the best sights of the BVI and USVI.

Because you spend most of your time on the boat, in the water, or on a beach, you’ll get a lot of sun on this trip!  One week was enough for me, with my fair skin and tendency to turn into a lobster.  If you plan to stretch your trip to 10 or 14 days, just keep this in mind when you plan your itinerary and pack.  You’ll have more time to spend ashore at stops than we did, which will help.

Be sure to read my snorkeling packing list for tips on reef-safe sunscreen, dry bags, UPF clothing and more gear for your trip.

The Best Time to Visit the U.S. and British Virgin Islands

High season in the Virgin Islands is December through April, when most of us are looking for an escape from cold winter weather!  Hurricane season begins in June and lasts until November.  Luckily, sunshine is plentiful year round, with daytime temperatures in the high 80’s and nighttime temps in the 70’s. 

If you can travel in May – June or November – early December, the shoulder seasons, you’re likely to find more availability and cheaper rates.

We traveled at the end of April and the weather was nearly perfect, except for a storm that caused my mom’s flight to be re-routed through Puerto Rico.  Luckily she made it onto a small puddle jumper (complete with bawking chicken sounds coming from the hold!) and met up with us just a few hours late.  The weather for the rest of the trip was picture-perfect.

Check weather averages for your dates from Holiday-Weather.com .

Choosing a Boat: Monohull (Sailboat or Sailing Yacht) or Catamaran

When choosing a boat, you’ll have considerations such as the number of people in your group, the layout of the boat, and your own personal preferences.  Some might want the adventure and experience of a “real” sailboat, while others would prefer a steadier trip with more space and luxuries aboard a double-hulled catamaran.   

While I love the romance and classic adventure of a sailboat, I ultimately prefer a catamaran for a multi-day trip.  They offer more room, usually with a living room between the two hulls.  Double hulls also make catamarans more stable, lessening seasickness and making it easier to walk on the deck.  There’s also netting between the hulls at the front of the boat, which creates an amazing place to relax over the water and watch sunsets!

More luxurious boats have ensuite bathrooms for each cabin; in general, the boats accommodate 2-8 guests.  Be sure to check the layouts of your choices before you book.

What’s Included in A Virgin Islands Sailing Charter?

The short answer: it depends.  Each charter listing will include all the details, and you can also clarify additional points before you book. Some rates include all costs, which makes it easier to evaluate; these usually have a set base price which increases depending on the number of travelers.  There might be watersports equipment included like snorkels, water noodles, and paddleboards, which helps you pack less.

It’s common that “provisions” aren’t included: these are all the food, drinks, and groceries you’ll need.  Provisioning can be arranged through your booking company or captain, or you can shop for it yourself.  We chose to pay our captain to provision his boat, but stopped at a local shop to pick up some extra rum and preferred liquors!

Additionally, there could be other extras such as fuel, water, national park permit, etc.  Be sure to check the details of each listing and clarify any points so you can compare your options.

USVI and BVI Sailing Charter Easy Bookings

These options below all have good reviews as well as availability calendars and online bookings.  Note that if they begin in the BVI, it’s still possible to visit the USVI, and vice versa depending on what you agree on with the captain or host.  The USVI and BVI are only about 20 miles apart – but keep in mind that you will need to bring a passport to travel between the two countries!

Airbnb Sailing Charters

Check out these sailing charters for the US and British Virgin Islands from Airbnb. If you prefer to search for your own options on Airbnb, specify a boat under the “unique stays” option. But keep an eye out for bookings that are only lodging: some boats remain at the dock or don’t include sailing.

VRBO is another top vacation rental site, and has many options to book sailing charters in the BVI and USVI . Check some of their best-rated charters including the one my family and I booked, the Guiding Light.

Best Sights for Virgin Islands Sailing

Wondering what the top sights are in the BVI and USVI?  Check out these ideas for your Virgin Islands sailing itinerary.

BVI Top Sights | Sights for Sailing in the British Virgin Islands 

The baths on virgin gorda island.

The huge, smooth grey boulders and clear turquoise waters of The Baths are one of the most-recognizable sights of the BVI.  This national park is a must-see spot for Virgin Islands sailing.  Swim in from the bay to snorkel and explore the grotto and calm pools. You can hike from the top of The Baths to the picturesque Devil’s Bay, at Virgin Gorda’s southwestern end.

Jost Van Dyke

The smallest of the four main islands of the BVI, Jost van Dyke is rumored to have been named for a Dutch pirate that used the island’s harbours as a hideout.  The island is accessible by ferry service and private boats, as well as cruises that dock and shuttle passengers ashore.  White Bay is a gorgeous white sand beach with many bars like the Soggy Dollar, home of the famous Painkiller cocktail.  On the east side of the island, visit the Bubbly Pool, a natural jacuzzi formed by waves rushing over the rocky shore.  At the Great Harbor, have dinner and drinks at Corsairs restaurant and popular Foxy’s bar.  Nearby, hike and snorkel at Sandy Cay, a tropical deserted island surrounded by a barrier reef.

Soper’s Hole, West End, Tortola BVI

Soper’s Hole in Tortola’s West End is one of the places where you can clear customs and immigration from the USVI to the BVI.  It has a colorful marina with restaurants and shops which are a good spot for souvenirs.  If you need provisions, stop in at Harbour Market.  Be sure to check out Pusser’s Landing, a bar and restaurant which also claims to be the birthplace of the Painkiller! You should definitely try both to see if you prefer theirs or the Soggy Dollar’s. 😉

Cane Garden Bay, Tortola

Cane Garden bay is the most popular beach on Tortola, with calm turquoise waters and a beautiful crescent beach.  Swimming, windsurfing and other water sports are popular here, as well as the lively bars and restaurants that line the beach.  Tour the nearby Callwood Rum Distillery, where they’re producing rum the same way they did 200 years ago.

Norman Island & The Indians

Norman Island is a BVI gem rumored to have inspired the Robert Louis Stevenson classic “Treasure Island.” Snorkel right into the high cliff face at the island’s famous caves which are full of marine life.   Nearby, you can also snorkel on the Indians, a dramatic series of rocks as you approach Norman Island.  The water on one side of the Indians is deep, but the reef is full of colorful coral, sea fans, and marine life.  The Indians are a must-see spot for BVI sailing.  At Norman Island’s protected anchorage area known as “the Bight,” visit local bars and restaurants including the floating bar Willy T’s and Pirates Bight restaurant.

The RMS Rhone is a shipwreck that sank in 1867 during a category 3 hurricane.  Now, the wreck site and surrounding waters are the Rhone National Marine Marine Park.  This is an amazing site for scuba diving, but it’s possible to snorkel as well since the water is very clear.  Much of the vessel is still intact.

Top USVI Sights | Sights for Sailing in the US Virgin Islands

Virgin islands national park, st. john.

Virgin Islands National Park occupies ⅔ of the island of St. John. Many of the beaches are fringed by coral reefs. They include Trunk Bay, with an underwater snorkeling trail including guide signs with information on the coral and sealife.  The beach here has been voted one of the most beautiful in the world!  Annaberg Plantation has the ruins of an 18th-century sugar plantation, which visitors can tour to learn more about the plantation’s role in the African slave trade as well as how it produced sugar, molasses, and rum. Trails through tropical forests lead to the ruins of Reef Bay Sugar Mill, in the south.

Cinnamon Bay Beach, St. John

Cinnamon Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches within the National Park. It’s the longest beach on St. John, with a half mile of white sand plus palm trees and sea grapes for shade.  Snorkelers can explore the small cay located less than 100 yards off the shoreline. This beach is still recovering from Hurricane Irma, and doesn’t have any restaurants.

Buck Island, off St. Croix

Off the coast of St. Croix lies uninhabited Buck Island, 175 acres of protected land surrounded by 19,000 acres of the Buck Island Reef National Monument. The barrier reef is a nesting area for three species of sea turtles, and also has an underwater trail through coral and sea fans.

Leinster Bay & Waterlemon Cay, St. John

Waterlemon Cay is tiny island in Leinster Bay, and a top snorkeling spot on St. John with many species of coral, fish, and marine life.  A strong current sometimes runs on the north side of the cay, so use caution snorkeling there.  On the south side, find longspine sea urchins, many fish, and hard and soft corals.  This was another of my favorite snorkeling spots on our trip!

Salt Pond Bay, St. John

Salt Pond Bay has a beautiful crescent shaped beach with calm, clear waters.  This is a more secluded beach, as it’s further from tourist spots, and also a quarter mile hike from its parking lot.  Salt Pond Bay is one of the top snorkeling locations on St. John, and has access to hiking trails that provide views of the island. 

Maho Bay, St. John

Maho Bay is a popular spot to see sea turtles. The seagrass beds in the middle of the shallow bay provide a habitat for the green sea turtles.  There are also reefs at the eastern and western ends of the shore with hard and soft corals and many tropical fish species.

Sandy Point, St. Croix

Sandy Point is a pristine beach on the southwestern tip of St. Croix that is also a national wildlife refuge.  If it looks familiar, it was featured in the movie “The Shawshank Redemption.”   The 400-acre reserve is a habitat for leatherback sea turtles.  Since it’s a wildlife reserve, there are no beach bars or services here – just uninhabited beaches.

Magens Bay, St. Thomas

Beautiful Magens Bay is one of the most popular beaches in the USVI, with a mile-long stretch of sand with calm clear waters.  It’s known as a spot for snorkeling with sea turtles as well as paddleboarding and other water sports.  Relax at the beach bar and restaurant  for a drink and a snack.

Getting to the Virgin Islands for a Sailing Charter

Us virgin islands airports, ferries and taxis.

There are two major airports in the Virgin Islands: Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas (STT) and Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix (STX).  Most charters start from St. Thomas.  

Check flights to St. Thomas STT | Check flights to St. Croix STX

There is a ferry that runs from St. Thomas and St. John between Red Hook and Cruz Bay .

At the airport, exit to find a taxi stand outside.  Taxis are priced per person based on your destination.  Many run like a shuttle, in a large van with other travelers.  Get an idea of rates and destinations here .

If you’d like to pre-book a private transfer, here are some options with online bookings and good reviews:

British Virgin Islands Airports & Transportation

There are two ways to get to the British Virgin Islands. The first is to fly directly to Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Tortola (EIS), formerly Beef Island Airport. The second way is to fly to Cyril E. King airport in St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands (STT) and then take a ferry to Tortola, BVI.  Most charters in the BVI depart from Tortola.

• St Thomas to Tortola Ferry

Inter-Island Ferries

There are many ferry services within the Virgin Islands . 

What to Pack for Your Virgin Islands Sailing Charter Vacation

As I mentioned before, a sailing vacation is very casual!  I recommend packing at least 2 bathing suits as well as a rashguard shirt with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) to protect you from the sun.  If you’re an avid snorkeler, you might even want UPF capris so that your backside doesn’t get burnt (true story) . A dry-bag is a must-have for trips ashore.

Also, there won’t be much room onboard, so be sure to bring a soft-sided bag rather than a regular suitcase.  Get my full packing list for snorkeling trips and liveaboard adventures and check out my list of favorite gear .

More Recommended Gear for Your Trip

Safety note: uscg approved life jackets for kids.

Your charter will surely provide life jackets for all passengers, but it’s especially important for children to have a life jacket (or personal flotation device – PFD) that is meant for their age, size and weight and approved by the US Coast Guard (USGC).  USGC ratings specify that jackets for infants and small children should have a padded head support, grab handle, and crotch strap to keep it from riding up (and the child from slipping out). 

Get more info here and tips from REI including getting kids used to jackets ahead of time at home.  Note: water wings, float suits, and similar items are meant for supervised play.  US law requires that children under 13 years of age must wear their lifejacket, unless below deck.

• Catamaran Charter – Your Ultimate Adventure

Getting BVI catamaran charter blues? Ditch the doubt; grab your swimsuit! ️It is natural to feel the need to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Also, rough seas and cramped cabins can make you shiver.

Fear not! Let this yacht charter guide be your compass.

• It will help you prepare for first-class island resorts, secluded beaches, and vibrant coral reefs.
• You can also get insider tips on which islands to try out different water activities.
• Visit the best BVI restaurants that serve local dishes.
• Choose the right luxury boat that meets your preferences.

So, please leave it to your private crew. Embrace the adventure while finalizing your Caribbean sailing itinerary.

This is your roadmap to an unforgettable journey.

What is a catamaran?

It is a type of boat, but instead of one hull, it has two. A catamaran with these hulls is like a double-decker bus of the sea. It is also more stable than a regular boat.

Here are some facts about catamarans:

• They are stable compared to regular boats. The wide stance makes them steady. Just like a seesaw, the further apart the ends are, the harder it is to tip over.
• They are spacious. When renting a private boat, you get a lot of deck space for sunbathing. There are hotel-like cabins. There are also dedicated areas for alfresco dining and water toys.
• They have a shallow draft. Unlike large cruise ships, catamaran yachts can go closer to shorelines without damaging coral reefs. So, you can access hidden covers and snorkel in shallow waters.
• Less water, less drag. Unlike bulky monohulls, catamarans have less water “belly” to push through the waves. Thus, they need less power (sails or engines) to zoom around, making them more efficient.

What makes a yacht charter even more special?

The sense of freedom and adventure is unparalleled. It is also about getting a personalized sailing itinerary. So, you can explore the best BVI beaches which the common tourist crowd cannot go to.

Moreover, it is not just a simple vacation but a holistic experience . Feel the thrill of trying out different water sports. Be refreshed by vibrant marine life such as dolphin watching, “swimming with pigs”, and turtles.

You can also get a taste of fresh seafood dishes prepared by your private crew. Lastly, stop by lively beach bars for a taste of local nightlife and well-crafted cocktails. Have you heard of the famous cocktail “Painkiller?”

Why rent a British Virgin Islands catamaran charter?

There is nothing wrong with a traditional sailboat. But, if you can take your island vacation to the next level, then why not?

Here are the advantages of choosing a chartered yacht in the BVI:

• A power catamaran or motor yacht is like a hybrid floating hotel and a sleek sports car. You get the best of both worlds: powerful engines and world-class amenities.
• No waiting time. When going on a crewed yacht, you can go island hopping between Caribbean islands on your terms. Unlike a group tour or cruise ship, there are no other guests that you have to wait for.
• Distance becomes your playground. Visit the Baths on Virgin Gorda in the morning. Then, catch the sunset on Jost Van Dyke in the afternoon. You can even tick off each island in the BVI if you want to.
• Anchoring made easy. Your yacht crew will not struggle with traditional anchors and lines. They can drop the controls for effortless anchoring. So, no need to feel pressured that you need to help in pulling the anchor and sails, too.
• British Virgin Islands catamaran rentals are built for luxury. They are typically spacious, well-equipped, and airconditioned. The powerful engines can support even the onboard kitchen, sun loungers, and jacuzzi.
• No need to worry about unpredictable weather. No more “rainy day” blues. With a powerful luxury yacht, you can keep on sailing through the Caribbean Sea.

If you want speed, flexibility, luxury, and comfort, then a boat charter in the BVI fits you perfectly.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands?

BVI catamaran charter cost varies depending on various factors, such as:

The average sailing catamaran prices can range from:

• $15,000 to 25,000

Here are some ideas on how to seamlessly journey from these two Caribbean regions:

• Explore nature’s wonders. Hike the rainforest trails of St Croix, USVI. Then, head to the Baths National Park, BVI. Then, enjoy kayaking or swimming at Salt Pond Beach in St John.

Note that the key to planning your dream itinerary is flexibility.

BVI Catamaran Charter FAQs

1. how many people can a catamaran charter accommodate.

It depends. Luxury private yachts come in different sizes . They can accommodate anywhere from 2 to 12 guests comfortably.

Imagine cozy trips for couples on small boats or spacious vacations for friends or families on bigger catamarans.

Tip: Consider your group size and desired level of privacy when choosing the perfect size.

2. How far can you travel on a catamaran charter?

Your island-hopping dreams have no limits. BVI catamarans typically have a cruising speed of 8-10 knots. Thus, you can comfortably explore nearby islands like Jost Van Dyke or Norman Island within a day.

For longer journeys, from BVI to USVI or vice versa, plan for a multi-day charter itinerary. Remember, fuel range and weather conditions also play a role in determining your itinerary.

3. Are BVI catamaran charters expensive?

While undeniably luxurious, BVI catamaran charters offer a range of budget options. Choosing smaller boats, traveling during nonpeak seasons, and planning shorter trips can also bring down the cost.

Don’t hesitate to compare prices and find the option that fits your budget without compromising on the experience.

4. What is the best size of catamaran to sail in the BVI?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this. The important thing is to consider your priorities.

A 40 to 50-foot catamaran offers excellent maneuverability for exploring hidden coves. It also provides a cozy atmosphere for smaller groups.

Larger vessels, 50ft and above , boast expansive decks and luxurious amenities. Plus, there is more onboard space for bigger groups or those seeking ultimate comfort.

Ultimately, choose a size that balances your desired space, budget, and sailing goals.

5. How do you choose the right type of boat charter?

Choosing the perfect yacht is never easy. But, with proper guidance from an expert yacht charter broker, planning a vacation and choosing the right boat charter should go smoothly:

• How many people are traveling?
• What type of yacht are you considering? Power catamaran, sailing catamaran?
• What kind of amenities are important for you and your guests (e.g., water sports equipment, spa)?
• What is your budget range?
• What islands do you want to explore?

These are just a few questions to answer when planning for your vacation. Once you have a clearer picture, browse reputable charter companies, compare fleets, and ask questions. They’ll help you find the ideal vessel and curate an unforgettable itinerary.

6. What is the best catamaran charter to rent for a BVI sailing vacation?

Just 130 miles east of Puerto Rico , you will find the British Virgin Islands - a beautiful archipelago of unique islands in the heart of the Caribbean Sea . It feels like summer all year around, the sun is always shining, and the waters are always warm.

These beautiful British island s have been claimed throughout their history by the Dutch, the Danes, the French, and the British. The capital is Road Town on the main island of Tortola , from where you can go sailing by chartering a catamaran in the BVI and set off on a unique sailing adventure. Also, worth visiting is the Virgin Gorda island - home to the Baths, a labyrinth of beachside boulders.

Some of these factors include the season in which you decide to charter, the size of the traveling party, and the duration of your charter. During the summer, June through August, yacht rental prices may be a lot lower compared to the BVI's high season during the winter months.

Other factors include the model and age of the catamaran, as well as whether you choose to hire a captain or not. So be sure to consider all of these factors when finding your dream catamaran.

You can rent a catamaran for a day with average prices ranging from $500 to $2,200 or more, depending on the season.

What is included in a catamaran rental in the BVI?

Catamaran rentals in the BVI vary considerably in the builder, length of time, and price of the charter. For those who have a sailing license, bare boat charters are available and for those who don't then you can rent a boat that comes with a captain and even a crew.

It is quite popular to rent a boat through Click&Boat that includes a captain to take care of everything while you enjoy your time-out on the water. Many of our listings include added or optional extras too. From snorkeling and diving equipment to jet skis and wake boards.

Do I need a boat license to rent a catamaran?

Exploring the British Virgin Islands with a catamaran charter can be an unforgettable experience, but it's crucial to be aware of the requirements before you set sail. Possessing a nautical license is most of the time mandatory for renting a catamaran, which can be challenging if you're unfamiliar with the process.

Renting a catamaran with or without a skipper

If you're looking to charter a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands , you'll want to consider whether you want a skipper to come along with you. A skipper can provide valuable knowledge and expertise, making your charter experience more enjoyable. Additionally, you can also choose to have your sailing vacation be a crewed charter. On the other hand, if you're an experienced sailor, going on a bare boat charter is a great way to have complete control and freedom over your catamaran cruise.

Where to sail during your BVI catamaran charter?

Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax or a lively beach with plenty of bars and restaurants, you'll find it here.

The harbors in the British Virgin Islands

Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway on your own or with friends and family, the BVI’s are perfect for a catamaran charter. There are many different harbors and marinas where you can dock your catamaran, each offering a unique experience.

Our favorite places to dock your catamaran in the British Virgin Islands:

• The Bitter End Yacht Club - Located on the island of Virgin Gorda , Bitter End Yacht Club is a great place for beginner sailors because it has calm waters and offers all kinds of sailing resources. It also has two restaurants and lots of watersports activities like kayaking and paddleboarding.

It also offers yacht services like fuel, water, electricity, and laundry services as well as restaurants and bars where you can relax after a day out on the water.

What is the best season to sail in the BVI?

The best time for a BVI catamaran charter varies. The area's busiest time of year is the winter, but September to November can be a great time to visit to avoid the busier season and make the most of lower prices.

Hurricane season is from June to November, which is certainly not ideal for sailors. Keen sailors should visit the British Virgin Islands in March, when the BVI Spring Regatta is held annually.

Divers should also plan their trip for winter or spring when underwater visibility levels are the best, as the summer does not have great visibility.

In regard to the temperature, don't be put off by the thought of it being winter. The reason the British Virgin Island s are so popular in the winter is that even from November to April, the month with the lowest high temperature still peaks at 82°F. It is truly summer all year round in the British Virgin Islands.

The islands are renowned for having perfect sailing conditions and are some of the world's top dive sites.

Why should I rent a catamaran?

Catamarans are the ideal vessel for exploring the British Virgin Islands' many attractions because of their broad beam and shallow draft, which provide you unparalleled access to remote coves and beaches. They also make for the ideal launching point for several snorkeling excursions.

Enjoy this yachting heaven while you unwind, sunbathe, and amuse guests. You can take pleasure in sailing your catamaran on your own, or you can add a skipper to your rental so you can unwind.

Island-hop for a week in the Caribbean

An experienced skipper will offer the best island-hopping itinerary, taking you through alluring coves and hidden island gems.

For luxury crabs, Cooper Island is both a foodie and a diver's heaven. North Sound to the east offers unbeatable natural views of rock formations and glistening shores.

Rent a Catamaran with a Skipper

If you would like to dive into the full luxurious experience of yachting, consider getting a catamaran rental with a captain/crew! Having a skilled professional on your charter can make all of the difference for your sailing vacation. Especially, when renting a sailing catamaran versus a motor, since they are typically more technical to handle.

If you are a sailor, you may take advantage of the sailing knowledge of a fellow sailor, and exchange tips and tricks on sailing in the British Virgin Islands. Another advantage to having a local captain/crew on board is they know the waters well, so they can take you to the best boating spots and maybe give a few recommendations for your time on land.
