Overview

It could be the dinners overlooking the ocean or the excellent onboard service but the appeal of a crewed yacht charter to the British Virgin Islands is hard to resist. With a personal crew aboard your yacht you’ll find more time to soak up the ambiance of the BVI. Each day your captain takes you to new locations and will provide you with all the travel details you need to get the most out of each place you visit. Rise early and snorkel as you watch the sun rise over the water or spend a leisurely day relaxing onboard with gourmet meals prepared by your personal chef. At sea the allure of the Caribbean will surround you while sailing between Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, or Virgin Gorda where onboard luxury and excellent service is part of your everyday routine.

Sailing in Tortola

Between the expertise of your own captain and the ideal cruising weather, the British Virgin Islands make for some of the most sought after yachting conditions around. Steady trade winds, sheltered waters, and short passages can be expected on your route providing a smooth journey. Find yourself soaking in the warm temperatures while lounging on deck or cruising among protected bays and sounds that seem as if they were formed just for the pleasure of riding above the waves.

Tortola Highlights

Celebrated for their breathtakingly clear blue waters and scenic beaches, the British Virgin Islands have become more than just a vacation getaway but rather a place to rediscover tranquility. Long-extinct volcanoes have formed many of the isles that make up the BVI and have sculpted the landscape into a breathtaking wonder. The natural beauty of the islands is found in flooded caves, expansive coral reefs, and stone formations rising from the shore. What lures travelers to this Caribbean paradise is more than the natural beauty but also the lively bars and eclectic shops within.

The sights and sounds of Cane Garden Bay don’t just invite, they pull you in. Here beaches stretch into the green landscape and island shops make for an ideal stopover. The bay is an easy-access point at the northern side of Tortola and presents some of the area’s best views around. Adventure junkies have been known to linger here where prime windsurfing and kayaking conditions abound and the ocean welcomes many a diver.

Days at sea are balanced out by evenings on land where restaurants and bars line the coast and light up the shore. Try something new, like pumpkin fritters or conch, at Quito’s Gazebo, famous for its rum-based Bushwacker. Sink into your chair as the owner, Quito Rymer, entertains the crowds with his singing and guitar playing. You can even hop from place to place to take in the different sounds of calypso, fungi, and reggae that fill the bay.
