The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a sailor’s dream—calm turquoise waters, lush green islands, hidden coves, and some of the best sailing conditions in the Caribbean. For those seeking a seamless, luxury-filled escape, BVI crewed yacht charters offer an unforgettable way to explore these pristine islands in style and comfort.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family vacation, or celebration with friends, a crewed yacht charter provides the perfect blend of adventure and indulgence.
What Is a Crewed Yacht Charter?
A crewed yacht charter includes the full-time services of a professional crew, typically consisting of a captain and a chef, and sometimes additional staff like a steward or dive master. Unlike bareboat charters where you sail yourself, crewed charters allow you to relax while your experienced team takes care of everything—from navigating and anchoring to preparing gourmet meals and organizing activities.
This turn-key experience is fully customized to your group’s preferences and offers the ultimate in personalized service.
Why Choose the BVI?
The British Virgin Islands are made up of over 50 lush, sun-soaked islands and islets, known for their beauty, tranquility, and short sailing distances between destinations. This makes them ideal for island-hopping at a relaxed pace.
Highlights of a BVI yacht charter itinerary might include:
Tortola: The main island with charming harbors, shops, and nightlife.
Virgin Gorda: Home to the famous Baths, with massive granite boulders and crystal-clear pools.
Jost Van Dyke: A lively spot known for its beach bars, such as the Soggy Dollar Bar.
Anegada: A flat coral island with white-sand beaches, flamingos, and fresh lobster dinners.
Norman Island: Linked to the legend of Treasure Island, offering incredible snorkeling caves.
With steady trade winds, calm waters, and a warm, sunny climate year-round, it’s no wonder the BVI is called the “sailing capital of the Caribbean.”
