Best Motor Yacht Charters in the BVI

After countless yacht shows and firsthand inspections, our team knows what makes a charter stand out—expert crews, high-level service, and well-planned itineraries. We only recommend yachts we’ve personally vetted, so you can trust your trip will be nothing short of exceptional. Here is our favorite motor yachts currently available in the BVI

Where to go on Your BVI Motor Yacht Charter?

With a BVI motor yacht charter, you can see far more than you would on a catamaran. Most larger motor yachts are based in the US Virgin Islands (USVI), as the shallow harbors in the BVI can’t accommodate deep-drafted vessels. This works in your favor—flying into the USVI is easier, cheaper, and better connected, with direct flights from many major U.S. cities. Plus, it’s just a 10-minute drive from the airport to the marina.

The Best BVI Yacht Charter Itinerary for Motor Yachts

Starting in the USVI

If you are boarding your motor yacht in St. Thomas in the USVI, we recommend beginning your trip with a cruise to St. John. Trunk Bay is the perfect first stop—a stunning, laid-back spot to ease into island life with a relaxing afternoon. From there, it’s a short hop to the BVI, where you’ll check in at West End. These days, the process is usually quick and hassle-free.

Cruise the BVI: Counter-Clockwise Route

Once in the BVI, we suggest a counter-clockwise loop around the islands, starting with a couple of days of diving some of the BVI’s best dive sites around the Little Sisters to the south: Norman Island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island are must-sees, and you can’t miss the famous RMS Rhone wreck dive.

Next, head up to Virgin Gorda, home to the iconic Baths National Park and the luxurious North Sound. Spend a couple of days here—this superyacht hub is perfect for water sports, upscale resorts, and beach bars with a view.

Anegada Island: The Detour Worth Taking

From there, set your course for Anegada Island, a destination many catamarans skip because of the longer detour. But on a motor yacht, it’s an easy run. Dive on the Anegada Barrier Reef, feast on fresh lobster at the Lobster Trap restaurant, and sip cocktails at laid-back beach bars as the sun sets.
