Crewed BVI charters run from about $15,000 to over $100,000 per week depending on yacht, season, and luxury level. Our practical advice: budget at least $30,000 for a proper one-week crewed catamaran, and the sweet spot for a family of six to eight with a strong chef sits in the $30,000 to $60,000 band.
The good news on extras: with 0% VAT and many boats all-inclusive, the gap between headline rate and real cost is smaller here than almost anywhere. On all-inclusive cats you add only the small local fees and crew gratuity, commonly 15 to 20% in the Caribbean; APA-model yachts add their 25 to 35% provisioning budget.
