We had another spectacular vacation sailing in the BVI in large part due to the team and the fleet at BVIYC! This year's trip was special as it coincided with my husband's 60th bday. The ladies were phenomenal with helping me plan the surprise, and were accommodating with coordinating sleep aboard the night before!
The Nalu is our favorite the boats we've chartered over the years and the crew made sure we knew all the ins and outs before we left the marina.
We can't wait ... Read More »

BVI Cruise for 60th Birthday
We had an incredible week long journey on Jo Elli to celebrate my 60th birthday with my wife. The boat sailed well and was perfect for the two of us - gave us everything we wanted and allowed us to experience a newer and larger boat than the present 2006 Beneteau 343 that we own. The crew at BVI Yacht Charters was great and the entire experience was smooth and very well organized.
A wonderful sail up the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Marina Cay with sustained 16-22 knot ... Read More »

11 out of 10
We are a family of three and this being our first sailing charter with a two person crew, we did not quite know what to expect. The boat was lovely, well appointed, and comfortable. The real stars of our vacation were Captain Stewart and First mate/chef Reeve. These two are the best kind of humans! Generous with their upbeat energy and humor. Whether sailing, snorkeling, or sitting around playing board games, we had the absolute best time with them. Frankly, we don’t know if ... Read More »
A family adventure in the BVI aboard Tam Elli
The crew at BVI Yacht Charters are all so kind and attentive. We spent our days island hopping aboard Tam Elli and the boat was outstanding. It was perfectly clean and ready when we arrived and all the systems were working perfectly. We had an amazing family adventure in the BVI! ... Read More »
Incredible experience
Max and Steph are the consummate hosts. We felt at home from the moment we stepped aboard - providing guidance and education while creating a relaxed atmosphere daily. Max coordinated our itinerary, making restaurant and dive reservations while Stephanie's cuisine rivaled anything had in the best restaurants in the islands. Every sunset was a postcard, and these two made a good first cruise into an extraordinary one! ... Read More »
Another awesome trip

Koru and Crew Fantastic
Just a quick note of thanks for helping us to arrange a wonderful vacation. The Koru was absolutely fantastic in every way. Joran and Casey made every moment of the trip magical. They are true professionals and I would enthusiastically recommend them for any charter! ... Read More »
Best Time Ever
Abbie, thank you so much. The Merry Time was amazing and in excellent shape, and we couldn't ask for a better crew! The days aboard Merry Time have been amazing, our best charter week ever! The boat is very comfortable with a great layout with nice interiors. The first thing that caught my eye, when I boarded Merry Time, was the cleanliness and after a couple of days aboard I could tell why: every time we dropped anchor or moored at port, they would clean and wipe the boat as ...

14 day charter – Exceeded Expectations by all measures
From the get go, BVI Yacht Charters continued to exceed our expectations for service, communication and support. Upon arrival, we were greeted by courteous staff members, given a top notch and thorough boat briefing, and witnessed a well-oiled operation in progress. We had absolutely no problems with our boat, and the check in and check out procedures were as smooth and efficient as one could ever imagine. My wife had contacted BVI yacht charters prior to our arrival and ... Read More »
BVI Yacht Charters is the BEST – again!
This is our fourth charter with BVIYC. Here's why we keep coming back (and don't even bother to "shop around")
--The staff is the very, very best. From answering my (too many) questions about specific boats to ensuring every request is met with a solution, Kelley, Abbie, Tikka, and the rest are top-notch. Kelley even picked up a fleece I had accidentally left in a hotel and brought it to the office.
--When there was a snafu with the boat we originally chartered, they ... Read More »
An Unforgettable Sail with BVI Yacht Charter – Outstanding Service!
Our recent sailboat charter with BVI Yacht Charter aboard the Fountaine Pajot, Ithaka, was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, the team’s level of professionalism and friendly hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable adventure.
The Ithaka was in pristine condition, equipped with everything we needed for a smooth, comfortable, and fun-filled journey. The spacious layout and well-maintained amenities made it a joy to sail around the stunning British ... Read More »
Great Charter
First time chartering a CAT and found it to be perfect for comfortable accommodations and seaworthiness. We experienced 20-35 knot winds and the boat handled beautifully. Amazing how efficient the Yanmar engines were only used 30 gallons all week with running the generator 5 nights. Capt Andrew Cooper was terrific and while I could have bareboat myself we used a Captain so we could relax with our friends and learn some new ways to see the islands. He didn’t disappoint and we ...

The Knotty Nine
Start to finish what a fabulous adventure aboard the 51’ Vienna. Beautiful boat; BVI charters was great to deal with. Reponse was great with a few things that came up. We’re all first time bare boaters so this was new to us all. We felt very comfortable out there and hit all the gorgeous islands. Anegada was a favourite for all. The weather was a bit rough, wet and windy but other than that awesome! ... Read More »

Best Vacation Ever
We had the most fabulous week on the Oceana with Captain Cam and Chef Julia as well as chef Liam. The food that was prepared by both chefs was beyond amazing and beyond anything we expected. Captain Cam made our trip easy and planned out our itinerary and the islands we would visit. It could not have been any better. Thank you for an amazing vacation. I hope we will be back soon to do this again. ... Read More »
Great Hosts
Everyone in our party thought Ben, Rachel and Bosun were great hosts. Rachel's cooking was awesome and the food and drink were plentiful. We'd recommend them to anyone interested in a nice charter.

Gambit
Sailing with Captain Doug and First Mate (and incredible Chef) Val on the Gambit sailing the BVI was an incredible experience Their team work was impeccable! The stories of their life experiences were amazing to hear and gave us a glimpse into a life adventure of sailing and their native South Africa. The meals that Val made in the little kitchen were amazing and the presentation was like being in a 5 star restaurant. It was eight days of adventures... scuba diving on the ... Read More »

Amazing!
BVIYC is the bomb! Perfect all the way around. Great communication and service. We had a generator problem they fixed right away. Boat was immaculate but not enough cup holders in the cockpit. We bareboated and the instructions were terrific. Will absolutely use BVIYC again. ... Read More »
One of our best vacations
I almost hate to write this review for BVIYC because I don't want more people to discover them :). We had not been to the BVI since '99 and I had a lot of questions prior to our trip- all of which were promptly answered. This included question on the ferry to get to Roadtown, provisions, etc. I was initially hesitant to charter a cat because I prefer (and own) mono hull sailing. But the cat turned out to be great for family comfort and was actually enjoyable to sail. I have ... Read More »
Take Us Back…
Five days of beautiful mornings jumping into the sea, afternoons of sailing and adventure, and evenings under the moon surrounded by wildlife and stars, made for an unforgettable trip.
From the moment we reviewed our preference sheets to the time we disembarked Captain Luke and Chef/First Mate Kristen were attentive to our needs. This was demonstrated daily, from Kristen’s delicious meals (surpassing even the best restaurants ashore) to us mentioning that we may have left ... Read More »
Wish You Were Here
This was my third trip to the BVI to charter a boat from BVI Yacht Charters. I keep coming back for the love of the islands, the well maintained fleet of boats, and the exceptional service we always enjoy. From the booking of the trip, all the way to the post charter inspection I feel like the crew really cares about our trip, and making sure we have the best time possible. Our Yacht was spotless when we arrived, we enjoyed a night at the dock before heading off, the ... Read More »

Pure Island Bliss with Outstanding Crew
We chose Miss Summer b/c boat explanation gave the impression we could have a true relaxed, island vibe vacation. We wanted sailing, good food & drink, fellowship, exploration and snorkeling.
This was my 8th trip to BVIs since the 1980s (early childhood, before marriage) and by far, my favorite b/c of my experience on Miss Summer. Large crowds on big boats is not our style. {We suffered hurricane damage in Sept; my point of sharing this is b/c living on Miss Summer for a ... Read More »
10 Day Bareboat Charter
Just returned from my bareboat charter with BVI Yacht Charters aboard SV Orla. She was a beautiful boat, well appointed and easy to sail. The performance was outstanding and met all of our expectations.
The staff and crew at BVI Yacht Charters are some of the friendliest, most accommodating and helpful staffs that I have come across. Throughout the trip to the Islands and during the charter, I always found them very helpful as I reached out to them with questions, such as ... Read More »
Excellent boat/Excellent service
From start to finish BVI Yacht Charters was a pleasure to do business with. They were courteous, helpful, transparent and timely. The boat was well taken care of and everything work!!!

Trip of a Lifetime
“We just returned home from the best vacation of our lives. We booked our trip through BVI Yacht Charters with Abbie. She was so great and very responsive to every need and question we had. Abbie truly took a personal interest in our trip to make sure everything went as planned.
My wife, three teenagers, and myself spent 6 perfect nights on Apricity with Mente and Annick. I can’t even begin to tell you how thoughtful and attentive they were to our every need and want. They ... Read More »
Ready, Set, Sail
We were a team of four, and we booked a sailboat last minute with the expert help from the staff at BVI Yacht Charters. They were incredibly helpful and professional, and were invested in getting us on a boat and afloat in short order! The staff, the vessel, the weather, and the winds were a dream. This is how vacation sailing is meant to be!
We are already plotting our return for the next voyage. See you soon, BVI Yacht Charters! ... Read More »
Perfect from start to finish
The title says it all. This was my first time chartering a boat anywhere ever and I cannot imagine having had a better experience.

Thank you especially to Tony and Shaq! ... Read More »
More than just the Boat
Each of the boats we have chartered from BVI Yacht Charters has been clean, well equipped, in excellent condition and trouble free. They obviously take pride in maintaining a 'bristol' fleet. But more than the boats, each person we worked with was friendly, helpful and focused on our family party of six having a great, safe cruise. Shak is a magician handling the boats and Kelly in the office, as friendly and helpful as a five star hotel concierge. ... Read More »

Amazing Time & Service
This is our 5th crewed charter but for the first time we brought our kids along. Abbie was amazing to work with at BVI Yacht Charters and when the unthinkable happened and our first boat had to cancel our trip with 1 week to go she jumped right on it and found us Captian Connor / Chef Ada and the (Lucky) Libra.
This wasn’t an easy task being late in the season with a week to go , 9 day charter with flights already booked and the room arrangements for our party were fairly ... Read More »
First time visitors to BVI
My husband's dream was to charter a sailboat in the BVIs. We arranged this trip for his 60th birthday. Our first time chartering so we decided to have a check out captain for half of the first day. Kit was outstanding and quickly realized, while this was my husband's dream, it was not necessarily mine! As a non-sailor, he was patient with me teaching what I needed to do to survive a week on the boat. We decided to have him join us for a second day just to make sure I was ... Read More »
Best Vacation Ever
One couple (my wife and I) have done crewed charters in US/BVI before. We were expecting a great vacation. Our only worry was that this trip might fall short of previous amazing trips. Quite the opposite- this was the best yet! Another couple regularly does Caribbean “all-inclusives” like Sandals, et al. We wondered how this would compare. They declared this the “best vacation ever”. Nothing can beat your own private, sailing all-inclusive yacht. Our itinerary was ... Read More »
BVI Crewed Charter, SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!
A crewed charter for our family of 5 (3 kids ages 7-13) was a dream vacation, and our 7-night charter that we booked through BVI YC far exceeded all expectations. Everything about our trip was first class: the booking experience and amazing service provided by Abbie, our incredible crew aboard the Elysian, the food and drink, and the incredible experiences that only a crewed charter can provide...in one of the prettiest locations in the world. I can't say enough good things ... Read More »
Amazing experience!
My family (my wife, myself, plus our 5- and 7-year-old boys), along with my brother's family (him, his wife, their 8-year-old daughter, and 10-year-old son), all together on the 42-foot FP cat Fortunata, had an unbelievable time. While we have an array of boating experiences, we are new to cats and sailing and only have a couple of years of previous bareboat sailing charter experience. BVIYC made the whole experience unbelievably easy and fun. They went out of their way to ... Read More »
Best Cruise Experience in the BVIs
I've been visiting the BVIs periodically since 1999 (at least 10 times). Some of the visits have been in our boat, others in bareboat charters. This was the first time we went for a crewed charter. The decision was made in part because not all in the group had sailing / boating experience and mostly because we wanted to rest and not worry about logistics, provisioning, cooking, reserving moorings, etc. The result...best vacation ever in the BVIs. Perfect combination between a ... Read More »
All-Inclusive in St Vincent

Fantastic Experience Start to Finish & Stem to Stern
BVI Yacht Charters was service superior to any we have ever experienced or heard of from other sailors. From when we first contacted them, through our charter and after

Family birthday celebration trip
Our family of five from San Diego chartered a 52’ monohull sailboat from BVI Yacht Charters for 5-nights in June 2024 for our son’s 30th birthday. The whole office staff was very helpful and answered my many emails in a timely manner. The “Fat Bottom Girl” Dufour sailboat was crewed by Captain Chris and he really made it a great trip for us. Our captain was a local and an experienced sailor and we had the time of our lives with the itinerary he put together. We sailed around ... Read More »

This was our 3rd sailing trip to the BVI. The BVI quickly became our family’s first choice for vacation destinations. All 3 times, we have chartered through BVI Yacht Charters. All the crew at BVI Yacht Charters is friendly, welcoming, and excited to help with every aspect of your trip. I also appreciate their responsiveness to questions from the word go! From the moment I send my first request for a quote and reservation, I have never had to wait more than a few hours to ... Read More »
Unbelievable trip of a lifetime!
I don't even know where to begin! Our trip aboard the Yacht Nae Kae with Captain Doyle and Chef Maya was such an amazing experience. We were 4 couples who had never sailed on a catamaran. Doyle and Maya made it the most wonderful and relaxing experience. The Yacht Nae Kae was beautiful and the scenery in the BVI was spectacular! The Nae Kae was equipped with everything we could have wanted or needed. The meals were like 5 star meals every time. Captain Doyle took us newbie ... Read More »
10 days in Heaven
We chartered Seeker an Elba 45 for 10 wonderful days in the BVIs and the boat performed perfectly and the service was excellent! I can’t wait to plan my next trip and BVI Yachts Charters will be my first choice! I really couldn’t ask for anything more. The efficiency of the boat was incredible it saved hundreds of dollars on fuel. I single handed it everywhere except for picking up mooring balls but it would have been possible to do that as well. Thanks to everyone there for ... Read More »
Fantastic Experience
The team at BVI Yacht Charters were great experience from first inquiry to close out when we got back. They were clear, concise and prompt in all our interactions. They truly went above and beyond in helping us plan the trip.
The boat was wonderful, a 50' FP. We only had four of us (plus Captain) so maybe a bit bigger than needed, but we loved having all the space.
Our adult son and his wife loved hanging out on the trampoline, my wife and I on the upper sun lounge ... Read More »
Fantastic Vacation with Adult Children
I am not sure I can write a review that can even begin to come close to letting others know how wonderful this trip was. We all have sailing experience and originally thought we would sail ourselves. I am the mom and I realized I would be the one cooking so we decide to go with the captain and crew option. Andre and Fifi were our crew and they were over the top perfect in every way. We had not sailed the BVI's so we told them in our Pre Trip Meeting that we just wanted them ... Read More »
Great Week with the Kids and Grandkids
Five years ago, we had chartered Salt Crush for a week with our son, daughter and their spouses. It was an exceptional time for interacting with them as adults, but we wanted to come back with the three grandkids. Fun Shway was a good size for the nine of us. Our 16 year-old grandson liked his private stateroom with the entrance off the transom, but all three kids enjoyed themselves and explored the Islands well together. We had a particularly great time at BEYC and on ... Read More »
12 days on Naya
My partner and I recently enjoyed an unforgettable charter and it exceeded all our expectations. The team at BVI Yacht Charters provided outstanding support, ensuring everything was ready for our adventure. Sailing on our own allowed us to explore the stunning turquoise waters, lush green islands, and pristine beaches at our own pace. We discovered secluded coves, snorkeled in vibrant coral reefs, and enjoyed romantic dinners under the stars. The experience was the perfect ... Read More »
Amazing Week on Gypsy Princess
Our group was three couples on our first catamaran trip in the BVIs. All we can say is WOW! The Gypsy Princess is the perfect size for a party of six, with spacious staterooms and bathrooms, several outdoor seating areas and great dining space. But what really made the trip so amazing was Quentin and Marine! As a captain, Quentin was knowledgable and entertaining, while always ensuring we were updated on the daily plan and adjusted the itinerary to fit our requests. And the ... Read More »
Best Voyage Yet!
They say your first time is the best, but the amazing team at BVI Yacht Charters managed to make our second bareboat charter the one to remember. ARUN was beautifully clean when we arrived and she was a dream to sail even in 20-plus knots. We made our first crossing to Anegada and now know why more experienced sailors call it a very special place. We grilled freshly caught and cleaned lobster on ARUN’s barbecue and now no restaurant lobster can ever satisfy. We had Sandy Spit ... Read More »
Amazing Week of Sailing in the BVI’s
My wife and I just returned from our first bareboat charter in the BVI’s and it was one of the best vacation experiences of our life! We rented Mara, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349.

They were always super responsive and answered the long list of questions we had leading up to the trip very thoroughly. Their directions to the office all the way up to our arrival back ...

We loved the serenity of sailing and the opportunity to see so much of the BVI's from onboard as well as off. This was our first trip and ... Read More »
Third time and BVIYC is still charming!
We started planning a vacation eight months ago, I let my wife choose the destination and BVI Sailing charter was her first choice. We are both “senior citizens” , and I knew these old bones were going to take a beating, but I agreed to at least one more time. This was our fourth charter and would be our third consecutive charter with BVI Yacht Charters over a 26 year span, the last was 18 years ago. From the moment Kelly S answered the phone, selecting a boat and date, to ... Read More »
The Lovely Azuria!
Our group of 5 – parents and adult offspring – enjoyed a bona fide Five Star week aboard the Azuria touring the British Virgin Islands. If there were more stars to award, we would award them!

Absolutely amazing charter with Yacht Serena, Captain Hugh and Chef Vivi
This was our second time sailing with BVI charters. It was even better than the first time. Everything was perfect. Yacht Serena is truly a beautiful vessel. Captain Hugh is THE BEST! He is so engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Our kids had a blast with him on the Paradise Pad and jumping off at Willy Ts. The meals the Chef Vivi prepared were exceptional! They kept getting better and better each day :-). A week flew by and it was the best vacation!
We loved our charter and ... Read More »
Family vacation
We were looking for a vacation with our six kids and significant others; we were 11, so we went with the larger Catamaran. Getting there was not easy, that's for sure, with planes, trains, and other things. That would be the only downside, other than that it was incredible; the boat, the crew and the entire experience were, as my kids would say, "best trip we have ever taken," and it indeed was.
Booking with Abbie was effortless, and I have recommended it to several friends ... Read More »

Awesome Charter!
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 »

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.

They knew what to suggest as activities and destinations based upon inputs we provided while ... Read More »

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 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.

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 »

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 »

Using BVIYC has been a blessing! They have a great fleet, great support and great supplies! Can’t wait for 2025!! ... Read More »
A great first charter!
Thanks for helping make my first charter as a captain a great experience!! Your staff was very supportive and responsive throughout the booking and the charter from beginning to end! We had an all women crew and felt very empowered by the adventure! The BVI's are so beautiful, the people are so warm and friendly, and the boat performed well. Thanks! We will be back again! ...

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 »
Amazing….. Again!
Back again this year for a 50th Birthday Party! My group of 10 had an incredible time. Everything was seamless. The staff support and equipment exceeded our expectations. The weather was perfect.
Stress free.... Complete Paradise! ... 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!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional service provided by BVI Charters and I can confidently say it was nothing short of amazing. 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 »
Great trip with friends and family!
This was our third bareboat charter with BVIYC, and once again the entire experience was beyond our expectations.
From the yacht, to the staff, to support for assistance, all aspects of chartering with BVIYC was great.
We sailed with our entire family of 7 and we all had plenty of room and every comfort.
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 »
Smooth sailing
We just got back from a fantastic week bareboat sailing in BVI on a 45' catamaran. It was an experience of a lifetime! I can't say enough about the friendliness and professionalism of the BVI Yacht Charters staff. From Kelly and Abbie in the front office to our checkout captain Dietmar, they make the experience wonderful and seamless. ... Read More »
