BVI Yacht Charters with Scuba Diving Onboard

Skip the dive shop. Some charter yachts in the BVI come fully loaded for scuba — with tanks, gear, compressors, and often a certified dive instructor on the crew. That means you can dive straight from the yacht, whether you’re certified, just getting started, or want the kids to try a first dive.

It’s the easiest and most exciting way to explore the BVI’s underwater side: shipwrecks, coral walls, sea turtles, reef sharks, and the occasional manta. No crowds, no schedules — just roll off the back and go.

Why Chartering a Dive-Ready Yacht Makes Sense

Dive directly from the yacht — no hauling gear, no dive shop runs
Most dive yachts are catamarans with hydraulic platforms: gear up and drop straight into the water
Shallow draft means they can anchor right by the site — no dinghy rides needed
It’s accommodation + dive boat in one: perfect for serious divers or mixed groups

What Kind of Scuba Setup Can You Expect Onboard?

Not all yachts offer the same setup. Here’s how it breaks down:

Full dive setup — tanks, compressor, wetsuits, weights, BCDs
Certified dive instructor onboard — ideal for beginners, kids, or anyone wanting a refresher
Certified diver only — some yachts have gear available, but no instructor support
Learn to dive — select yachts offer dive courses (e.g. PADI) during your trip

What’s Included — and What Costs Extra

Many yachts include a set number of dives (e.g. 3–5 dives/week) in the charter price
Extra dives are often $50–$75 per person
