I am kicking myself for not reviewing Voyage sooner. They have been my go to vacation for close to 15 years. I could end this review here, but they are the absolute best charter company and boats anywhere. I won't disparage other companies, but once you have chartered with Voyage you will question your decision to go anywhere else. Will the boats have issues, yes. If anyone says otherwise, they have never been on (or owned) a boat. The difference is Voyage will go out of their way and have it fixed faster than any of the other "big" charter companies. Absolutely amazing staff. See you again next year.

We just finished trip to the BVIs where we bare boated one of Voyage Charters' catamarans - we had the BEST vacation ever, and a perfect experience with Voyage. Our original plan was to go through Dream Yacht Charters, but they canceled on use ONE DAY BEFORE our trip was to begin due to not complying with local government safety regulations that they were given 6 months to gain compliance but failed to do so (please never rent from them!!). We were frantically calling around, and thankfully came across Voyage through a Google search. They couldn't have been more understanding or helpful. The pictures of the boat online had me a little nervous prior to seeing it (mostly because I kept comparing it to the Dream Yacht Charters boat we were planning to rent - it had a flybridge and the photos seemed a little nicer). But the group I sailed with all agreed that the boat was the perfect size, very spacious and comfortable, sailed great, and was very reliable (we only had 1 issue where the wind instrument was malfunctioning during our check-in walk through; they had a Voyage mechanic replace the part on spot and took <20 minutes to fix). Thank you so much to Claire and team for providing us with such a great experience. Voyage will hands down be our first choice when we next return to the BVIs!!! :) Oh and do yourself a favor, and make sure to rent bean bags for your sail - they made for great additional lounge spots!

We just finished our bareboat charter on Voyage's 590e Miles Away, and had an AMAZING time. Our charter agent Danyielle was very helpful and in conjunction with our concierge Francoise and other staff members, we were well prepared and easily navigated thru the few issues we did encounter.Coordinating extra water toys, dive info and provisioning was smooth and the only challenge was not knowing what Restaurants were or weren't open, as the season was just getting going. Voyage is a family owned business and they are super customer centric! They made sure every detail was covered and every need met. 10+ out of 10 for the boat, staff, and of course the BVI!.

I have chartered with Voyage multiple times; the boats have always been clean and well maintained. I have always done the 48 ft boats until this year. This year we did the 590. It is a game changer. My wife says she can't go back to the smaller boats again. The ability to have A/C 24/7 was wonderful and to have A/C while making water was worry free. I really appreciated the holding tanks working and not dumping sewage in an anchorage where you are swimming. We never felt crowded on the boat with 12 people. Sailing was great with so many comfortable places to sit and enjoy the sail. I highly recommend 590.

Chartered 48’ “Endless Summer” Sailing vessel. Excellent walk through with staff. Next morning we were on our way. We had a valve / fitting on the fresh water system under the galley sink burst on the way to Sopers Hole and we called Voyage. They responded instantly and met us along the way. We did not have to change our day at all. Mainitenance jumped onboard with all items needed to fix the issue. On the boat and off in 15 minutes or less. Awesome group. We will definitely be back. No need to look anywhere else for a different charter company. This company has excellent vessels and proved to us that they can support them very very well!!

We are just back from an amazing bare-boat experience through Voyage Charters BVI. Our 48' sailing Cat "Electrified" was was so clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff at Voyage were all terrific and responsive. What a pleasure to finally meet Shawn in person after two years of Covid changing our plans. Martin was our rep while we were on the water and he answered our texts quickly when we had any questions. I can't wait to visit again soon and will most definitely charter through Voyage again. The BEST!

Our crew of 8 just finished a week on Voyage's ELECTRIFIED-The Voyage staff is comitted to customer service and they are great at it. From the booking with Shawn to boat briefing activities with Martin, they left no stones unturned. Rane and Emile quickly and efficiently responded to a minor electical problem at Cane Garden Bay. They were there in no time and finished the repair before we finished our cocktails!

Discover the Charms of the British Virgin Islands: A Sailor's Ultimate Escape

Off the shores of Puerto Rico in the northeast Caribbean lies a modern sailor’s tropical paradise. The British Virgin Islands consist of 60 independent and largely uninhabited islands, each with their own beautiful ecosystem to enjoy sailing and boating. Calm waters, endless sunshine, and unique experiences draw hundreds of sailors to the islands of the Caribbean each year.

The British Virgin Islands aren’t just for honeymoons and leisurely getaways. If you are looking for adventure, a sailing charter gives you a unique and active vacation experience while enjoying some of the most beautiful oceans in the world. Short passages from the largest island of Tortola to Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke allow you to practice your sailing skills without hassle or long days on the open water.

If sailing vacation is on your bucket list, chartering a boat in the British Virgin Islands can be the ultimate adventure! Seasoned and novice sailors alike choose the BVI as a main sailing destination.

If you are looking to book a yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands, 12 Knots website is the right place to check prices and availability of boats. We offer both skippered and bareboat charters for competitive rates. Search our website for sailing boats, catamarans or power boats. Price for one week charter may start from a little bit more than a thousand dollars for a small sailing yacht or can reach several thousands if you are looking for a new crewed yacht. The British Virgin Islands is one of our most popular sailing destinations, with hundreds of boats available for charter, but bookings should be made far in advance if you want to have the best price for the desired boat.

Ultimate Guide to British Virgin Islands Sailing: Top Activities and Attractions

Planning your sailing itinerary before you arrive in BVI will help you ensure you get to see the best of the British Virgin Islands. Popular British Virgin Island adventures include snorkeling, hiking, and kitesurfing. Most major islands offer water sports equipment rentals or half-day excursions for you to enjoy while at mooring. Anegada is the most popular snorkeling and diving location because of its colorful coral reefs.

During your British Virgin Islands sailing vacation, we recommend visiting the Baths on Virgin Gorda. This hidden oasis of towering boulders allows you to explore along the shallow beaches with incredible photo opportunities. If this isn’t on your list, however, there are plenty of national parks and street life to enjoy the whole day of sailing.

You can also spend plenty of time shopping and enjoying the local seafood, including the best conch shell soup you’ll ever taste. Jost Van Dyke is known for the best bars and nightlife in the British Virgin Islands, but you can find delicious local food from street vendors.

Optimal Sailing Conditions in the British Virgin Islands: A Sailor's Paradise

One of the reasons that The British Virgin Islands are so popular for boat rentals is because it has ideal sailing conditions year-round. Seas range between three and four feet and line of sight navigation will be easy even for the beginner. However, choosing the right time of year based on your experience will greatly impact how much you can enjoy your trip.

Northeastern trade winds are especially strong between November and January, with an average wind speed of 15-20 knots. In December, the Christmas wind speeds can reach up to 25-30 knots. Because of the strong Christmas winds, experienced sailors choose winter for the ideal sailing conditions in the British Virgin Islands. The temperatures are not too hot during the day, and the trade winds offer some challenge. However, less experienced sailors may enjoy the late winter and early spring for the milder winds and warming weather.

In the spring and summer wind speeds slow down considerably as the weather heats up. This is a less popular time to sail the British Virgin Islands, but the islands are much less crowded and you can oftentimes save on your trip during this time. From February to March the British Virgin Islands also have their lowest average rainfall at 50mm.

 The British Virgin Islands have a relatively consistent tidal range. Including the variation due to atmospheric pressure and winds, the average tidal range is 12-18 inches. This makes mooring at the different islands much easier for the novice skipper.

Ideal Seasons for Sailing in the BVI: Best Times to Charter Yachts

Winter and spring are the best times of year to charter a yacht on the British Virgin Islands, especially if you are planning to have a nice sailing experience and steady winds. During this time you will not have to plan for hurricanes, and the weather will be beautifully cool as opposed to the sweltering summer months. However, this is also the busiest time of year and prices for charter go up especially during the Christmas and New Year Eve. For example cost on one week charter of the same boat at the end of December may be two three times higher than it’s price for one week in November or January.

Booking a sailboat in summer or early fall will result in much lower prices, but only do so if you are an experienced sailor and pay close attention to hurricane predictions. Planning your sailing charter for the end of November or June may offer fewer crowds on moorings and anchorages, good prices for rentals and steady light winds.

No matter what time you decide to sail the British Virgin Islands, make all arrangements in advance and you are guaranteed to enjoy your trip.

Sailing the British Virgin Islands is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you don’t want to miss. However, getting there may be tricky if you’re in certain areas of the world. There are no direct flights from the USA, Canada, parts of Europe, or South America to the British Virgin Islands. However, there are plenty of connecting flights in the Caribbean including nearby St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. From there you can catch a ferry to your destination.

Bareboat Fleet and Rates

The 2017 model  Bavaria 34 charter yacht ‘Maverick’ , designed by Farr Yacht design, is a capable family cruiser available from Horizon in the  British Virgin Islands .

Built in Germany to a high standard, the 34 has a roller furling main and genoa, with all control lines easy to hand in the cockpit. The genoa winches have been moved aft, so the genoa can be trimmed easily by the helm or crew. You can be under full sail in just a few minutes. As the 34 carries her beam well aft, she benefits from twin wheels – great for helming visibility, with the added bonus of giving direct access to the transom swim platform, without any clambering around a single wheel. A full Garmin electronics suite, including a cockpit chart plotter, makes navigation a breeze. The 34 is responsive on the helm, easily sailed short-handed, and is the perfect yacht for a fabulous week (or more) cruising around the islands.

Below decks, the Bavaria 34 charter yacht is beautifully finished with Sipo Mahogany joinery, light oak-colored cabin sole, and cream real leather upholstery. The galley, with stove, hob, and fridge is to starboard and with three surprisingly generous double cabins, there is room for family and friends.

Fountaine Pajot launched the Lucia 40 on the boatyard’s 40th anniversary—a nice birthday present to itself as well as to sailors seeking a manageable cruising cat perfect for cruising the BVI.

The design team of Berret-Racoupeau was tasked with bringing big-boat allure to a smaller footprint, and the result is a sleek cruiser that has plenty of beam and deck space without looking boxy or awkwardly tall. The hulls have a fine entry for better performance, the fixed keels eliminate the need for daggerboards and the coachroof angles down as it swoops forward, adding shade over the windows. The Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 is actually bigger than the Lipari 41 she replaced, featuring a more spacious cockpit, more interior volume and more oversized windows all around.

Boarding via the aft transom platforms is made easier with well-placed handholds. From here, it’s only one step up to the cockpit, which as mentioned, is very spacious. In fact, it is almost the size of the cockpit of the popular Helia 44. The portside L-shaped dinette can accommodate up to eight, and there is additional seating along the transom and on the starboard side. The entire cockpit is protected by a composite bimini, which also serves as the base for the large mainsheet traveller, keeping the running rigging out of the cockpit.

Nauti Dog has an elevated helm position with seating for two, with excellent visibility of the sail plan and for manoeuvering. Her twin 30 HP engines make her a breeze to pick up a mooring or to come alongside. An electric winch hoists her fully battened mainsail, and a furling jib is set in a matter of seconds. The mainsail stack pack, also known as a lazy bag, makes dropping and flaking the sail extremely easy. The Lucia 40 is responsive to sail, easy to tack, and can be handled easily by two sailors. With a full suite of electronics, including two chart plotters and an autopilot, she is a joy to cruise aboard. Stored on her davits is a 10ft Rigid Inflatable Dinghy with a 15hp Yamaha outboard. Quickly launched and retrieved, the dinghy will get on the plane with 2 or 3 aboard and carry up to 6 persons comfortably to your favourite snorkel spots.

The well-appointed saloon is accessed via a large sliding double door. The galley has a gas oven and a capacious 130-litre fridge.

This Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 is the owner’s version – the three-cabin “Maestro” with three electric heads and showers. A generator can run air conditioning throughout the yacht, although with hatch breeze boosters aboard, most of the year in the BVI you can relax in the comfort of the tradewinds. The entire starboard hull is dedicated to a master suite, with an en-suite head and shower. The walk-around island Queen double aft is easy to get into, and there is a desk amidships if you need some space to work “off the grid”. The starboard hull has two equally spacious double cabins, each with its own head and shower.

With solar panels to keep your batteries topped up and a water maker to keep your water tanks topped off, Nauti Dog is a brilliant cat to explore the islands and cays of the BVI.

The Nautitech 44 Open is the latest design in the Nautitech lineup to get really excited about!

This new design builds on the successful Nautitech ‘Open’ concept and so delivers a ‘wide grin’ sailing performance. The 44 Open is probably the fastest cruising catamaran available for a bareboat charter. She can point higher than any other cruising cat (that does not have daggerboards -which consume interior space), thanks to her high aspect sail plan, tight sheeting angles, high aspect rudders, a draft of 4ft 9“and an excellent sail area to displacement ratio. The Open 44 remains stable, comfortable, and downright fun to sail on and off the wind.

Optimized cruising speeds are a result of the low wetted surface area enabled by narrow, hydrodynamic hulls below the waterline. While the hard-chined stepped hulls above the waterline give more interior living space.

You have an unobstructed view of the sails and the sea thanks to the double aft helm station positions; you can communicate and enjoy the sailing with all the crew members in the cockpit.

In a change from the design of the Open 40, the lower mainsheet track positioning is easy to adjust and see for perfect sail trim from the helm station. A low boom above the coach roof allows for extra efficiency from the mainsail, more sail area and easy access to the sail bag. The high aspect furling, and self-tacking jib, with all control lines led aft to electric winches for both sails, means the 44 Open is a breeze to sail short-handed.

There is rich joinery in the interior of the 44 Open which gives a warm and modern ambience aboard. The cockpit flows seamlessly into the saloon (the ethos of the Open concept) giving you the ideal indoor/outdoor living space for a yacht in the tropics. The galley conjoins the saloon and cockpit, so matter where the crew are, the chef is part of the socialising. The interior saloon area is cosy and offers a modular seating arrangement with cushioned cubes that can be moved around into a day bed, a footrest, or stools. 

With the almost 360-degree view from the entrance of the saloon, you can happily escape (rare!) inclement weather or socialize at the cockpit table whilst still keeping an eye on your surroundings.

Thanks to a double-drawer fridge, cockpit fridge and freezer unit, there is excellent fridge capacity aboard.

Both hulls feature 2 cabins. The aft cabin has a queen-sized island bed and the forward cabin has a forward-facing double bed.

The seamlessly integrated companionway benefits from extra storage lockers. Both hulls have separate shower units and toilets allowing for easy living between guests. The toilet unit also has its own hand basin.

There is an integrated solar array on the coach roof as well as solar panels mounted on the dinghy davits. This removes the requirement to run your engine or generator to charge the lithium batteries on board on sunny days.

• Starlink High-Speed Internet which is included for all charters in 2024
• Nespresso Original Line Machine (remember to bring your own Nespresso pods as these can be hard to source in the BVI)
• Three B&G Chartplotters (one at each helm station and one at the nav desk)
• Multiple 110V outlets
• Large lithium battery bank and large solar array (essentially eliminating the need to charge batteries using engines or generator)
• Fresh-water hot/cold deck shower
• Fresh-water deck hose
• Exterior window coverings to keep the interior cool
• Two fully finished forepeak cabins with USB outlets and lighting
• Mast camera to make mooring ball retrieval easier
• Two VHF radios (one handheld)
• Separate throttle controls at each helm station to make docking and close-quarters maneuvering a breeze

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Navigating the British Virgin Islands

Chartering a yacht in the British Virgin Islands is very safe due to the close proximity of the islands and line-of-site navigation. However, the BVI are in the ocean and there are hazards and navigational markers that captains must be aware of. Find out if you have the necessary experience to be approved as a bareboat captain.

Provisioning for the Journey

One of the most common questions we get from guests is, "how and what do I need to stock the boat with?" We've taken care to stock all our boats with the essentials, but provisioning for food, drinks & water toys are up to you. Learn more about how to provision before you arrive at Nanny Cay.

Steps to Charter

Step 1: request a quote, what's your ideal trip, choose your boat, lock in your dates, finalize the contract, plan your itinerary, our guests jump for joy at these amazing savings.

All the yachts in our bareboat fleet are available for these great last-minute promotions, and our team of charter experts are here to help match you and your guests with the perfect boat for your available dates.

CHARTER A CATAMARAN DIRECTLY FROM AN OWNER.

High-quality discounted catamaran charters + personalized service since 2003., serving the chartering community, we are a small group of sailors who love chartering catamarans and we want to help you find the best charter possible. here’s what our customers are saying:.

The boat was very clean and in great shape. The bases at Grenada and at St. Vincent were both very well managed, and both took excellent care of us, and sweated the details.

All in all, it was a great charter and I can’t thank you enough for helping us reschedule this reservation over the course of the last year.  Our next charter is set for the end of July so keeping fingers crossed that BVI will be an option at least part of the time for our vaccinated crew.

Jenny makes renting boats easy! With the few issues we've had she's always been there for us!

We had a fantastic two weeks. The boat was new and beautiful (only 4 trips prior to us). Henere and MiHee (his wife) were AMAZING captain and crew. The food was fabulous, we even caught a large tuna off the back of the boat and had sushi and sashimi for a few days. They grew up in Tahiti, knew everyone and knew exactly where to take us. They had wonderful suggestions, told us what to shop for and what to avoid and took us on great excursions.
