We have been chartering sailboats for 25 years with most of the well known charter companies, but this was our first charter with BVI Yacht Charters. Debriefed was the best boat we have ever chartered. She sailed well in a variety of conditions, was very well maintained, and we did not have a single issue, not even a minor one. I had previously chartered the same FP Elba model at another charter company, and I knew was getting a great boat, but Debriefed was cleaner, in ... Read More »

Home for a week
Myself and wife chartered 35 ft Mara for a week. The weather was not cooperating but we enjoyed our trip and we were able to visit most iconic locations. Starting with Kelly all BVIYC staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. The boat was prepared for us very professionally and we did not encounter any issues with her.
Thank you all,

Exceptional Sailing through the BVI
Just back from a week aboard J Dog, a Beneteau 48 chartered from BVIYC, cruising the BVI. Everything about this charter met or exceeded our expectations. From their website and pre-arrival information, to our arrival at the Road Town base, the yacht itself (5 ⭐️s), support during our week working through a small technical issue, and finally a friendly and efficient docking back at base. Everyone at BVIYC is excited to have you there, they are attentive and knowledgeable, and ... Read More »
Incredible trip!
My husband and I had the pleasure of renting the beautiful Orla monohull for 7 days from BVI Yacht Charters. We had the time of our lives. BVI Yacht Charters is such a wonderful company to work with and made everything so easy and manageable from start to finish. The boat was in pristine condition when we stepped onto it and handled beautifully in the BVI waters. Check in and check out were great too because of the amazing staff. We can't wait to come back next year! ... Read More »
Off the Charts on Ebb & Flow
Our holiday on the Ebb & Flow was off the charts exceptional. The boat is in perfect condition. It’s clean, functional, efficient, well laid out and so comfortable. It’s just fun to be on it. Missy & Travis (our captains) are perhaps even more exceptional than the boat itself. Their years and years of experience shines through and they make everything they do look effortless. They knew what to suggest as activities and destinations based upon inputs we provided while ... Read More »
Bathrobes Welcome!
This was our 4th charter with BVI Yacht Charters and it never disappoints. The boats are well maintained and the staff is among the most friendly and helpful. The BVI's offer some of the best sailing in the Caribbean. The islands are convenient day sails offering unique experiences at anchor, mooring or dockside. The staff and dock crews go above and beyond to ensure your vacation is most enjoyable from start to finish. Ask Kelly (there are two!) or Zevy for recommendations ... Read More »
Wonderful time creating lifelong family memories
Almost don’t know where to begin. Captain Luke and Kristen did an amazing job guiding us through our voyage. Lukes knowledge of the area repeatedly paid off as we were able to enjoy the best locations before they got too crowded. Each of Kirsten’s meal were truly spectacular and worthy of any fine dining establishment. In terms of an itinerary, they listened to our requests and provide additional suggestions and guidance to make our trip truly special. I had bareboated ... Read More »
Awesome 5 day catamaran cruise!!
There were 8 of us in total on this Island Kisses cruise. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Our captain, Andre and first mate and chef, Fifi, were just excellent. Our itinerary was perfect. We hiked, scuba dived, relaxed, and had a fabulous time. I highly recommend BVI charters and especially Island Kisses with Andre and Fifi. ... Read More »

Grenadines family charter
Merci, Thank you e tante grazie !
Our sons and I booked this charter to celebrate William's 70th birthday. We didn't know what to expect, having never chartered a boat let alone been in the Grenadines.
What an amazing treat to come across this exceptional team: Laurent and Astrid.
I am not sure my words will be good enough to describe our sensational experience aboard your beautiful Privilege 49 ISOLABLUE
First of all in equal measure, Laurent and Astrid excel in ... Read More »
Big Big Plans delivers Big Big Fun!
A crew of 11 all had one of their best weeks aboard Big Big Plans. The generous vessel offered us more than enough space to play, relax, cook, sleep, swim and repeat. None of our needs were wanting given all the onboard amenities from twin engines, water maker(!!!), generator, electric heads, and very well equipped galley. She sailed beautifully too from light winds to heavy seas alike keeping crew and passengers comfortable throughout.
Best of all were the staff at BVI ... Read More »
Wonderful first time charter in the BVI!
We had a great charter experience last week. The boat was exceptional and the staff super friendly and helpful. This was our first charter, so we took more TLC than most charterers. The BVI Yacht Charters team was really awesome and helped make this a wonderful experience. We are already looking at our calendars for scheduling a charter with them next year. ... Read More »
Great trip
Second time with BVIYC, first time since COVID. Shore crew couldn’t have been more accommodating. Boat was very clean and everything worked perfectly.
Good land location. Between Moorings market, French Deli and Steakacion everything you need to provision is an easy walk.
Travel note: We usually fly to Beef Island. This time we took the ferry from charlotte amalie - never again. Took nearly a hour to get off boat and through customs. Both directions equally bad. ... Read More »
Best Charter Yet
We got lucky! We had a great catamaran, a great Captain (thanks Dietmar), great weather and a fun group. We’re already planning our 2025 with BVIYC, it will be our fifth sail!

Amazing Experience
Our first time visiting the BVI. Can’t say enough about BVI yacht charters. From the very first email everything was on point. Never once did we have to question anything. No matter how many times we sent emails , their response was quick and detailed. Our 42 lagoon Laurencia was amazing. Very impressed with this boat. Comfortable, reliable, sleek, what more can you ask for when renting a boat like this. Every stop on our journey was filled with smiles and love from everyone ... Read More »
Siblings & Spouses Cruise
This was my second time cruising the BVI and the first time with BVIYC. We were with my wife's two siblings and their spouses and it was our first extended vacation together without kids or grandparents. The Elba 45 was bigger than we needed but the upper deck lounge area was phenomenal. Regarding BVIYC, it was by far my best ever bareboat charter experience. With the two Kelly's and Zevy in the office and Shak and Ferdie looking after the yachts, we were in good hands. Our ... Read More »
A magical and memorable sailing experience
Our recent sailing holiday was nothing short of magical, thanks to the BVI Yacht Charters staff's warm welcome, their professionalism (many thanks to Kelly for an easy check-in). We have chartered with BVI Yacht Charters for many years now, and have never been disappointed. PENNY LANE was well-equipped and immaculate, providing us with most of the comforts of home while we explored the breathtaking islands of the BVI. Each day brought new experiences, smooth sailing and ... Read More »

Another great charter!
We have chartered twice before with BVI Yacht Charters. Last summer, we were talking about booking another charter and my sister and her husband said they wanted to join. As never-sailers, we were surprised - and weren't sure how they would adapt. We told them that most days was a simple schedule: breakfast - sail - lunch - snorkel/nap - happy hour - dinner. Early to bed, early to rise. And (happily) off the grid.
We chartered a monohull big enough for the four of us ... Read More »
Excellent Charter
My wife and had been trying to do this trip since 2020. Between Covid and some health concerns we had a couple false starts. The staff at BVIYC were super helpful through the issues. We’ve chartered from at least four different companies in the BVIs the Shelly Cay was best maintained of any we’ve chartered. This was also the first time chartering a cat. Loved the extra space, a/c and maneuverability. No issues with just a captain and first mate. Had a great trip will ... Read More »
BVI Charters: Gateway to Nautical Paradise!

From the moment I inquired about their offerings to the conclusion of our trip, every aspect of their service exceeded expectations. The team at BVI Charters is helpful and responsive, going above and beyond to fulfill every client's request. The yachts and catamarans they offer are newer (2-4 years old), clean, very well ...

Great yacht, great time
It was a "guys" trip with four of us sailing J Dog around the islands. All systems worked flawlessly and we all agreed it was a very fast and fun to sail boat.
This was our third charter in the BVI and the first with BVI Yacht Charters. The office staff can't be beat for friendliness and promptly replying to my many emails leading up to our voyage. The guys out on the docks were all ready to help and answer questions. It was a great sailing trip! ... Read More »
A Decade of Sailing Bliss with BVY Yacht Charters
Our sailing adventures with BVI Yacht Charters have spanned almost a decade, beginning in 2014, and each year only reinforces why this charter company is a class apart. From the well-equipped vessels to the impeccable service, BVIYC consistently exceeds expectations, making every sailing trip a memorable experience.
This time, we opted for a two-week escapade with BVIYC, and from the moment we set sail, it became evident that extending our usual one-week voyage was a ... Read More »
Amazing Trip
We absolutely love our trip! Kelly and the whole staff were so helpful, answering our many questions before we ever arrived. They helped get extra gear and rentals all delivered to the boat and made sure grocery shopping was painless. We had heavy winds that tore the seam of the bimini but a repair crew came out to where we were more to fix it right away. Great service. Amazingly friendly and helpful. Best vacation! ...

2 families
10 adults from 2 familes on board Serenata for a week. Had a fantastic time. BVIYC gave us a boat in wonderful shape. Serenata performed like a dream under sail and motoring. The staff of BVIYC both in the office and on the dock are wonderful, professional and experts at what they do. They make the trip easy from planning through the end of your vacation. This trip was our 8th time in the BVI and our 4th time with BVIYC. We have used them exclusively since 2014 with the ... Read More »
Windy Fun in the BVI
We chartered for the first time through BVI Yacht Charters on this trip. From start to finish the staff was amazing. The boat Arun was perfect for what we were looking for on this trip and was the reason why we used BVIYC. That being said, after our trip I would definitely charter again no matter what boat we are wanting.
The wind was brutal and the seas weren't nice but a day like that on a boat in the BVI is better than a day at work :-)
We really wanted to make the ... Read More »
Fun time with sailing newbies
We had a "guys" trip on the monohull J Dog and when that was done, we had some wives and friends join us on the catamaran Idle Time. Five of our new crew had never been on a cruising catamaran or sailboat. Everyone appreciated the spacious cabins and ample public spaces available on Idle Time.
My wife's primary concern was the A/C at night and she had nothing to complain about the whole trip. We had some above average wind and wave days during our week, but we were still ... Read More »
BVI trip
Our trip has been memorable. It was a great time in such a beautiful place, and that's why we thank BVI charters for helping with this experience. The boat provided was in great condition and worked very well through all of our sails with strong winds. The towels, dishware and other things provided were also in the best conditions. We can only say good things about the boat, but above all we must thank the services provided by the staff of the Charter. Zevy, Andrew and Shak ... Read More »
Chaos Bay Yacht Club lands with BVI Yacht Charters
Chartered with BVI Yacht Charters for the first time this year. I have chartered with almost every single charter company in BVI over the last 20 years. Hands down, the most professional, easy going team I have ever worked with. Had a great boat - 2023 Bali 4.4 - so easy to sail and my new guests loved the boat. Everyone from the front office to the cleaning crew to the dock crew - ALL very professional and pleasant to work with. Any need we had was met in a very timely ... Read More »

Kudos to the entire staff — friendly and helpful on all points. ... Read More »
Great Time in the BVI!
We chartered MyElli in June. This was a last minute booking and everyone involved with BVI Yacht Charters in the office and the marina made our trip effortless. We provisioned from Rite Way and had most everything delivered. We stayed onboard the night before departure and were able to leave the marina early. Even after Hurricane Irma and Covid all of the usual stops (Cane Garden Bay, Jost Van Dyke, Norman, Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock & Cooper Island did not disappoint. We ... Read More »

First Timers
I found BVI Yacht Charters after reading all positive reviews. The staff is incredible. My wife and I are especially grateful for Kimmy, Kelly, Abbie and the entire staff. The check in process was very smooth and the Cozmo 35.1 was as advertised. The staff had a connection to one of the local markets, so we were able to shop for provisions before departure. We did hire a captain. He was very nice and knowledgeable but after 5 days. We needed some privacy. Kelly and the team ... Read More »
Core Memories
We set sail in June 2023 - 11 crew members, including 2 children, aboard the Soleil Rae ready for vacation! I cannot relay enough about the wonderful experience we had: the BVI Charters booking process was efficient; the website FAQs were informative; the staff were professional, friendly, and responsive; and the catamaran was clean and comfortable. We had to call the mechanic support for a minor issue at about day 3 of the trip. He answered the call immediately and was able ... Read More »
Highly reccommened bareboat charter
It was my first time renting a sailboat with www.bviyachtcharters.com, 4th time on a boat 40+ feet boat, and I was very pleased with the service and quality of the boat. Jillsee handles very well and had surprisingly little heel in a stronger breeze. We were a group of 8 and it was a bit crowded, so I think it is ideal for a group of 6 or less. One minor issue was one of the halyard was hitting the mast when were mooring at night. Easy to fix with a tape, but you may want to ... Read More »

We chose Ithaka because she was a good size for our group of 3 couples and she was new. We heard about BVI Yacht Charters several years ago when we saw Silver Girl (also beautiful) at Oil Nut Bay.

The staff at BVI Yacht Charters was extremely helpful from the moment we booked our trip - all the way through - answering questions and helping with our planning. This was our 9th trip chartering in the ... Read More »

BVI Yacht Charters
My wife and I have done many trips to the BVI's mostly through Moorings/Sunsail. We took a chance and tried a new company this trip.

SUMMER 2023 WITH PARADOX MA’LADY’S
After a great bareboat charter in the summer of 2022 on Slow Poke, we immediately booked this year’s bareboat on Idle Time. The staff and dock hands at BVIYC were/are awesome. This is the second year in a row they have exceeded our expectations. The boat was perfect for the two families, spacious and well outfitted. The stronger SE winds made the cat rock a little more at night in some harbors, (especially Anegada) however, the sailing was spectacular. Overall, it was an ... Read More »

The dingy, while slow with 6 people, it worked well for 2 to 3 people. Captain Dietmar is knowledgeable and a ... Read More »
Great first charter experience
I think the BVI Yacht Charters spoiled us. As this was our first time chartering in the BVI, we were not sure what to expect. BVIYC exceeded out expectations. We did a 7-day charter, were on a 42 ft. monohull, Indian Chief. They were so professional and made the check out and check in so smooth. They answered all our questions and set up our fishing and diving equipment without any hiccups. The boat was in good shape and we had no issues. We felt that they made us a priority ... Read More »

The staff was extremely responsive and helpful as I peppered them with questions leading up to the trip. The check in process was very smooth and the boat was as nice as advertised. We did hire a checkout captain ... Read More »

We only burned 30 gallons of diesel in 10 days.
We had 4 Aussies and 4 Yanks on board, and all had a good time. We caught a dolphin (mahi mahi), which was delicious, plus 4 or 5 ... Read More »

Perfect family holiday
We had the most wonderful family vacation on this 5 cabin 47’ cat. 6 adults and 4 children ages 3 to 5. Before the charter we naturally considered how we would keep the kids safe and active. On the trip, the children were so engaged, so active and so happy that wearing life jackets was never an issue. The 5 cabin boat provided everything that we needed and the descending transom was a great feature. The team at BVIYC responded quickly to any pre-charter questions, and made ... Read More »
Anchor Free in 23
While exploring many possible vacation ideas with close friends we decided to try a bareboat catamaran charter for a unique vacation experience. Most of us had a variety of boating experience on the great lakes so we thought that taming the Caribbean was the next logical choice. We settled on BVI Yacht Charters after reading so many great reviews online. This decision couldn't have been a better one. Being our first sailing bareboat charter we really relied on BVI Yacht ...

Two week bareboat charter
We had a great time celebrating my big birthday with a 2 week bareboat charter. I researched many companies and found BVI Yacht Charters helpful and also well priced relative to other more well known brands.

A few small annoying things that perhaps suggest a lack of attention to detail eg no wrench to change the gas bottles which were no full as it turns out on departure and no change of ... Read More »

This is the first time with BVI Yacht Charters but definitely is not the last time. I usually rented from the larger charter companies, but after late starts, first night on the dock, boats that are literally falling apart and waiting for maintenance for the broken boat, I decided to try BVI Yacht Charters. From first contact to saying goodbye, it couldn’t have been a better process. Thank you to the entire crew there. ... Read More »

They greeted us with smiles, and helped us along the way with provisioning ideas, accommodations on Saint Thomas, where to eat out on Tortola and arrangements for ... Read More »
First time Charter
This was my first time chartering a boat. BVI made it very easy and streamlined. The online boat checkout was very detailed and was able to be completed before leaving for the trip. They called the provisioning company for me when the boat was ready to receive. No issues with the boat during the charter, I did not have to contact them during the trip for assistance. The boat was beautiful and well maintained. Checking the boat back in at the end was equally simple and ... Read More »
Great Charter
What a slice of paradise! Everything was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. The boat, almost brand new, was incredible. A very efficient boat. Lots of room. Lots of wind. Lots of fun.
Thanks to the staff at BVI Yacht Charters for making everything seamless. ... Read More »
A Great Charter
My wife and I had a wonderful 2 week charter aboard Arun, our 3rd charter with BVI Yacht Charters. The winds were strong and reliable, and the surroundings as beautiful as ever. We had a great time, and were joined by our daughter for the last week. A perfect break from a Minnesota winter!
As always, the staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. And when we had one setback (the jacklines broke during sailing) they were immediately responsive and promptly resolved the ... Read More »
Awesome experience
My wife and I chartered a 39' monohull with BVI Yacht Charters for 5 days at the end of January 2023. We are avid sailors and just wanted day sails, while staying at a Villa during our 11 nights on Tortola. The office staff and dock crew were terrific. The office staff responded promptly when we were booking the charter in the summer of 2022, and accommodated our special requests. They were very personable and friendly during all our personal interactions with them in ... Read More »
Captain Gregg and his 7 Mates!
Just eight friends doing what they Love, being together and on the water! The boat was beautiful, spacious and enough room for everyone. Thank you BVI Charter! ... Read More »
Perfect Experience for a First Time Charter
I had previously been to the BVI's as part of the NOOD Regatta through SunSail. Didn't have to arrange or think of anything. Just show up, sail, and drink.
This was my first experience booking and being responsible for a charter on my own. A dear friend with tons of experience said BVI Yacht Charters were the best and he was spot on.
The booking process with Abbie and all the follow-ups with the entire business team couldn't have been easier. All questions (and I had ... Read More »
Absolutely wonderful!
We had an absolutely fabulous time. The crew at BVI Yacht Charters were super friendly and helpful! The boat was meticulously cleaned.
This was one of over best vacations ever! The BVIs are just absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be back! ... Read More »
Great time
We rented Salt Crush for one week plus a sleep aboard for the night prior. The folks that work for BVI Yacht Charters go out of their way to make sure everything goes well and you have a great time. The technical help and boat check out was very good. We had one small issue with the furling job that happened just outside of Road Town and we decided to go in to have it fixed. It took only about 45 minutes and we were back on our way to The Baths. We loved the boat. It was ... Read More »
Amazing!
My wife and I booked a last minute charter for our honeymoon with BVI Yacht Charters and couldn't have been happier: Kelly, Kimmy and the whole team were very helpful and friendly. The communication was excellent, every phone call was picked up by a real person and all emails answered quickly. The boat was clean and performed well, can't say enough about the service all-around. Thank you! ... Read More »
Great sailing

We will return, without doubt! Thanks again BVIYC! ... Read More »
WOW! Excellent cruise in the BVI’s
We couldn't be any happier with our experience cruising the BVI's in one of the BVI Yacht Charter catamaran's. BVI Charter's customer service team is top notch! They answered every question promptly and courteously. They were so helpful and I never received a "no" from them. First rate!! Our cat, Split Decision, was well-appointed and worked perfectly. I recommend BVI Yacht Charter 100%! ... Read More »
Awesome Support and Boat
The BVI Yacht Charters staff is incredibly helpful and Salt Crush is the nicest boat I have been on. There were six of us, it could easily sleep eight. Being able to sleep on board the boat the night prior to the start of the reservation is a great option. We did a two hour checkout sail which gave me needed comfort as a new captain. I am looking forward to my next trip with BVI Yacht Charters! ... Read More »
Customer Service
A big THANK You to BVI Yacht Charters for making our fifth charter with them so enjoyable and drama free. The staffs willingness to “go the extra mile” with even the unrelated request for help from wonky rental cars, last minute broken luggage and arranging for taxi service to the airport was just what we needed to make the pre and post travel issues disappear.
The Saba 50, Soleil Rae was the perfect yacht for our party of 8 adults, 2 kids & 1 baby. Large enough for ... Read More »
Best New Years Fun
The 7 of us, adults, sailed with Captain Andrew and had great fun. Of course, we made it to the Soggy Dollar Bar and Foxy for New Year’s Eve. We couldn’t miss that. This is our 3rd sail, and we finally made the charming island of Anegada (besides Jost Van Dyke, Norman’s Island, Coopers island, Saba Rock and Bitter End Yacht Club among other places). Andrew is up and ready when you are to take you where you want to go! ... Read More »
Great performing and well equipped boat
Our crew of 4 enjoyed 10 beautiful days aboard Toucan Share. This was our 13th charter in the past 30 years, all in the BVI/USVI. Some people ask why don’t we charter in another locale, but we love the sailing grounds, predictable trade winds, beach bars and snorkeling. We spent our first 17 years as a married couple living in Vail and always wondered why we’d see the same guests come back year after year. Now we have become those people! Oh well, find someplace you love and ... Read More »
Great boat, great charter company!
This was our second charter with BVI Yacht Charters, and our 6th charter overall. BVI Yacht Charters wins amongst the different charter companies I have worked with. The boats were in great shape and from start to finish, the staff were great to work with. I worried I had too many questions and requests, but they always answered right away and made everything perfect. Without a doubt, I will be using BVI Yacht Charters for our next BVI vacation. ...

Fantastic Trip
Spent a week touring the BVI on Mr T for our first ever live aboard sailing adventure. The Lagoon 380 was perfect for the 6 of us. The 4 berths were comfortable and accommodated the 2 couples and and 2 singles very well. We had great wind and the Cat sailed beautifully. Everything worked really well. The Gallery was well supplied with all the pots pans and utensils that we need. All the staff at BVI yacht charters were friendly and helpful. The free taxi service from the ... Read More »
Another Magical Week in the BVI
I have been sailing with the Moorings since 95. This year we switched to BVI Yacht charters and couldn't have been happier. The cost, the boat and the communication was so much better than Moorings. My son got engaged on Saba Rock so it made the trip even better. Thank you for a great charter. ... Read More »

My husband and I needed a relaxing warm getaway . BVI Charters set us up on Naya and we sailed in the beautiful sunny BVI's and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. We were completely set up with, snorkels, fins and a binder of all necessary tips for visiting the islands. Naya was a beautiful boat and it sailed very comfortably. ... Read More »
Great Time on Great Boat
Three of us spent 6 days on little Peanut, an Oceanis 30.1. We got as far as Anegada sailing almost the time and anchoring most nights. It was great! The Baths were unfortunately closed due to swell the day we had planned there. BVI Yacht Charters was great to work with almost without exception. We can’t wait to go back out on Peanut! ...

Fantastic Vacation and Yacht!
This is our 4th charter in BVI over the last 25 years. The Ogibni is the finest vessel we've ever been on and we've chartered 2 other 45 foot catamarans, 1 in BVI the other in Belieze both with the Moorings. The Ogibni has awesome sitting / relaxing areas with a super spacious galley lounge area, the outdoor eating area large enough for 8 people comfortably, a lounge area just below the mainsail (which was a favorite hang out spot), and yet another area by the trampoline! The ... Read More »
Great charter
Hi there
Wonderful charter, these boats are really well maintained and clean. My wife is the discerning judge of the boat of choice, and she approved. Personally I never had to take out my leatherman
Which should tell you guys something. The staff was great, helped us out and back, love that! Extra linens towels, great showers yes I’m going back. Been sailing in the bvi’s for about 40 years, these folks are great and best of all I never had to call for anything.
Thank you ... Read More »
