Where to Start Your BVI Luxury Yacht Charter?

Most larger luxury yachts are based in Yacht Haven in the US Virgin Islands. Fly into St. Thomas International Airport (many flight connections from major US Cities) and step directly onboard.

Within a few hours of cruising, you will be in the British Virgin Islands, with a possible lunch stop at Trunk Bay—ranked one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean!

If you prefer to start in the BVI, you can fly into the airport in Beef Island, and your yacht will be able to get you from there directly.

Where to Go on Your Luxury Yacht Charter in the BVI

We suggest making a counter-clockwise loop around the whole of the British Virgin Islands, first stopping at Norman Island, Peter Island and Cooper Island in the South. Then head north to Virgin Gorda’s iconic Baths National Park, Spanish Town, Mountain Point, and North Sound. North Sound is the superyachting hub of the BVI, with luxury resorts like Leverick Bay and Bitter End Yacht Club.

If you have time, we also recommend you include Anegada Island in your itinerary. Located about 20 nautical miles off Tortola, most catamaran charters don’t get here, making it more exclusive. But in a luxury motor yacht this distance is not a problem and the beautiful beaches, beach clubs and lobster restaurants are well worth the trip.

And not for the luxury, but for something you are sure to remember, end your yacht charter with a stop by Jost Van Dyke and head in for a painkiller or two at the legendary beach bars of Soggy Dollar, Hendoos and Foxy’s.

What are the Most Popular Water Toys in BVI Luxury Yacht Charters?

Seabobs are the number one favorite water toy for people on luxury yacht charter in BVI, and every yacht should have them. It is easy to learn, both for adults and kids, it is safe, and it is a super fun way to explore the underwater world of the BVI.

Efoils are on the rise. We are seeing an increase in requests for the inclusion of efoils on luxury yachts. Although harder to learn, it is possibly the most thrilling once you get it. It is literally like flying right above the water. And many crew in the BVI are qualified efoil instructors, so if you want to learn, this could be your chance.

Wind and Kitesurfing is also huge in the Virgin Islands, mainly in the USVI, with St Croix being a hotspot. The wind in the BVI is perfect for wind-driven sports, and with good stretches of protected water, you are almost guaranteed perfect conditions.

Jet Skis will never lose its appeal, it is the ultimate boys toy. However, there is a ban on jet skis on charters in the British Virgin Islands due to the preservation of marine life. However, this is not the case in the USVI.

Paddleboards, Kayaks, and Floats are standard toys to have on a yacht. They are user-friendly, anyone can do it. And they are the best way for chilling on the water or peaceful exploring; no engines, no speed, no nerves, just pure relaxing.

SCUBA Diving on Your BVI Luxury Yacht Charter

A luxury motor yacht is perfect for exploring the BVI’s best dive sites, which are spread all over. We can find you a luxury yacht fully equipped with SCUBA gear, dive compressor, and certified dive instructor on staff. You can even do your certification while on charter.

Some of the must-visit dive sites in the BVI include the Wreck of the Kodiak Queen, a former navy fuel barge that survived Pearl Harbour, now an underwater art installation; the RMS Rhone, an iconic shipwreck from 1867; Dog Island‘s dramatic underwater landscapes with steep drop-offs and rich marine life; and many, many more.
