I've been chartering out of the BVI since the early 1970's (probably 8 trips in total). I look for a company that knows how to maintain their boats and expects good sailing skills in their captains. BVI Yacht Charters scores high on both these categories. Lusteen was a late model Benetaue in great shape and well maintained. The local BVI charters were very knowledgeable and were a big help. They are available to answer all questions, have a great system for keeping in touch by phone and made our week a fantastic experience. The dock staff were especially helpful in addressing all of our detailed questions. I wish we had reserved a longer charter as there was still so much in these islands to explore. Giff Boycesmith
