BVI New Year’s Yacht Charters 2024/2025 + Christmas

Why is the BVI the Perfect Destination for a New Year’s Eve Charter?

New Year’s Eve coincides with the BVI yacht charter high season when the weather is at its best. We are talking clear, sunny skies, mild tradewinds, and calm seas.

The British Virgin Islands are the perfect place to ring in the New Year. Think awesome beach parties, legendary cocktails, and festive food. Picture yourself on a tropical beach with a painkiller cocktail in hand, live drumbeats in the background, and colorful moko jumbies dancing on stilts. Top it off with an epic fire show under a sky full of stars. Then head back to your luxury yacht, fall asleep to the sound of gentle waves, and wake up to the new year in sunny paradise.

These are the Best New Year Parties in the BVI

Trellis Bay New Year’s Eve Celebration and Fire Show

With Aragorn’s fireballs and dancing Mucko Jumbies. Live drumming and Folk Music, beach bar, and roast. – A great family-friendly party.

Foxy’s Legendary ‘Old Year’s Party

For fancy folk and salty seadogs. The party happens on two levels: Beach level is where the live music, dancing, and drinks flow nonstop. There’s also a Caribbean BBQ with fresh fish, ribs, chicken, and plenty of sides. Feeling fancy? The “upper crust” area offers a slightly more upscale vibe, but it’s still all about the fun.

Anegada Island New Year’s Eve Parties by the Beach

With hosting venues like Wonky Dog, Anegada Beach Club, and Lobster Trap – 7-course dinners and live DJs on the beach.

When and Where to Arrive for Your BVI New Year’s Charter?

We suggest you book your charter yacht from around the 28^th of December to the 4^th of January. (Most Christmas charters end on the 26^th, giving the yachts a couple of days to get set up for you).

THE EASY WAY: Fly into Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (EIS), Beef Island, in the British Virgin Islands, and arrive directly at your yacht charter. Your yacht can literally pick you up right next to the airport.

THE CHEAPEST WAY: Alternatively, you can fly into Cyril King E. Airport (SST), St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands (better flight connections), and take a water taxi across to the BVI. –We can organize this transfer for you. It is easy and takes no more than 30-40 minutes, including customs clearance.

Where to Go on Your BVI New Year Charter?

Once you’ve chosen how to spend New Year’s—whether at a lively party or in a quiet cove under the stars—you can plan your BVI itinerary around it.

A common route starts at Nanny Cay Marina or Trellis Bay near the airport, moving south to Norman Island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island. Then head to Virgin Gorda to visit The Baths, and, if time and weather allow, include Anegada to the north.

From there, sail over the top of Tortola, stopping at Guana Island and Cane Garden Bay before ending at Jost Van Dyke, finishing your charter vacation relaxing at iconic beach bars with a Painkiller cocktail in hand and toes in the sand.

How Much Does a BVI New Year’s Yacht Charter Cost?

There are New Year Charter deals for everyone. For a 1-week crewed catamaran charter, all-inclusive, the price tag starts at around $15,000 USD.

We suggest you splurge a little more, it is the new year, after all, and spend at least $30,000 – this will get you a luxury catamaran with accommodation for 6-10 guests, high-end service from 2-3 crew, and an all-inclusive 5-star menu, and free use of the yacht’s water toys.

But most importantly, you will enjoy private beachfront accommodation at all the BVI’s best destinations. Some yachts even include a number of free dives as well. It is a package deal that cannot be matched on any resort for the same price.
