Top BVI Catamaran Charters

Why Pick a Catamaran Charter in the BVI?

The British Virgin Islands has long been known as one of the best catamaran destinations in the world. Why? Because the water is perfectly clear, the sailing conditions are ideal, with protected waters and steady trade winds, and the island vibe is amazing. You will feel it when you sit at Soggy Dollar Bar sipping a Painkiller Cocktail with your toes in the sand!

Where to Go on Your BVI Catamaran Charter?

Most BVI catamaran charters start from Nanny Cay Marina on Tortola, the largest and most populated island in the British Virgin Islands. This is easy if you fly directly to the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (EIS), located on Beef Island, which is connected to Tortola.

For those who fly into Cyril E. King Airport, St Thomas (STT) in the USVI, these are your options: Some Catamarans offer pickups in St Thomas, USVI, if they have the permits required to charter in USVI territory (not all have). Alternatively, we can easily organize a transfer by water taxi from St Thomas to your charter in the BVI. It takes about 30-40 minutes, including customs clearance on arrival.

From Tortola, the common route goes counter-clockwise, first hitting the small southern islands, Norman Island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island, where you will discover fantastic dive sites like the Indians and the famous RMS Rhone Shipwreck.

Next, you will head to Virgin Gorda Bath’s National Park and maybe swing by Trellis Bay, where they have the monthly full-moon parties and the legendary New Year Celebration with Aragorn’s fireballs and Mocko Jumbies.

Depending on the weather and your time schedule, we suggest you include Anegada island, worth a visit for the Anegada Barrier Reef, the salt ponds, home to the flamingos, and fantastic seafood restaurants like the Lobster Trap.

When on the way back, return via the Nort side of Tortola, hitting Cane Garden Bay and finishing on Jost Van Dyke, one of our personal favorites, where you can wind down at the legendary beach bars like Soggy Dollar and Foxy’s while enjoying a Painkiller Cocktail with your toes in the sand.

On your last day, you will come back through Sopers Hole to Nanny Cay, where you started.
