BVI Sailboat Charters

A BVI sailboat charter is for those who truly love the feel of real sailing—heel in, wind in your face, and the quiet satisfaction of gliding under sail. While catamarans get most of the spotlight in the British Virgin Islands, there’s still a loyal crowd who knows there’s nothing like a classic monohull.

These crewed charters give you the best of both worlds: the tradition of sailing with the comforts of a private yacht. If you’re into the sailing lifestyle—or just want a great deal—BVI monohulls are often better value than catamarans, and crews work hard to make sure nothing feels like a compromise.

Why Choose a BVI Sailboat Charter?

A sailboat isn’t just a way to get around—it’s a way to experience the islands. There’s a reason passionate sailors keep coming back to the BVI.

  • You want to actually sail—not just cruise. Monohulls heel, respond, and engage. It’s hands-on, it’s real, and it’s incredibly satisfying.
  • You appreciate simplicity and elegance. A well-designed monohull moves through the water like it belongs there.
  • You want value. Sailboats often offer the same level of service and comfort as catamarans but at a lower price point.
  • You care about sustainability. Less fuel, fewer emissions, and the quiet of a yacht under sail.
  • You’re looking for something intimate. Sailboats create a natural closeness with both your crew and your surroundings.

If you’re traveling with a larger group or want more space, amenities, or layout options, a catamaran may be a better fit. We can walk you through both.

Sample 7-Day BVI Sailing Itinerary

All BVI charters depart from the island of Tortola (or nearby USVI) and follow a flexible loop through the islands. Here’s a simple route we often recommend:

Day 1: Tortola to Norman Island – Snorkel the Pirate Caves, then grab a drink at Willy T.

Day 2: Cooper Island – Dive the RMS Rhone or chill with a craft beer on the beach.

Day 3–4: Virgin Gorda – Hike the Baths and anchor in the North Sound.

Day 5: Anegada (if weather’s calm) – White sand beaches, lobster dinners, and stargazing.

Day 6: Jost Van Dyke – Swim to Soggy Dollar, meet the locals, and toast the trip at Foxy’s.

Day 7: Sail back via Guana Island or Soper’s Hole for one last swim.

How Much Does a BVI Sailboat Charter Cost?

The cost of a charter sailboat in the BVI starts around $15,000 per week and can exceed $100,000+ per weekdepending on the yacht’s size, crew, and onboard experience. You’ll find everything from classic 60-foot performance monohulls to 150-foot luxury sailing yachts.

Here’s a general guide to pricing and options:

  • Under $30,000/week – 50–70 ft sailing yachts, 2–3 crew, ideal for couples or families
  • $30,000–$70,000/week – Larger and more luxurious monohulls (Sunreef, CNB, Oyster), often with 3–6 crew
  • $70,000–$100,000+/week – Premium superyachts, 100–150+ ft, full crew, gourmet dining, and expanded amenities

Many charters are all-inclusive (crew, meals, drinks, fuel), though some larger sailing yachts operate with an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) structure.
