“Yachting on a Beer Budget”

This 88-foot Nordlund Motor Yacht with accommodation for 6 guests is really great value for money and has excellent client feedback! Honestly, there aren’t many luxury yachts of this size and standard at this all-inclusive price! Prime Time is, therefore, also a very popular boat fully booked out every year; it is, therefore, important to reserve her in good time.

Prime Time is owned and skippered by American ex-navy Captain Joe Standish, who has lived and chartered in the BVI since 1999. Joe runs one of the oldest charter businesses in the BVI; needless to say, his local knowledge and experience are second to none.

The second crew member onboard Prime Time, Michael, has worked many years on cruise ships and local cargoes and was on the water when Hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean—here is a good story to be told.

The crew wants people to be comfortable and act like they would at home: “We are very laid back. Our company motto has always been ‘Come as Guests…Leave as Friends…’ That still holds true while running Prime Time, but we have added a new one for the niche we plan on filling in this industry, ‘Yachting on a Beer Budget.’ With that mentality, we also want our guests to ’embrace the local culture,’ which is why we only do breakfast and lunches onboard. We believe that a yacht charter here in the BVI is so much more than just being on a beautiful boat for 7 days. Your Crew wants you to enjoy the things that ‘we do,’ whether that be local BBQ or fish fry, drinks on the beach, or just chilling on your own private beach. We will make your time with us a memorable one.”

“One of the Most Reviewed Yachts – All 5-Star!”

If you’re looking for luxury and comfort with a personal touch, Suite Life is a fantastic option. This 92-foot yacht feels like a floating luxury resort, with plenty of space to relax, entertain, and explore. Even though the yacht was built in 1998, it’s been completely refitted and is meticulously maintained by the owner-operators, so it still feels fresh and modern.

The layout is super spacious, with four staterooms that can comfortably accommodate up to nine guests. The master suite is especially impressive, with its king bed, walk-in closet, and even a jacuzzi in the bathroom. Each room is decked out with smart TVs, Bluetooth stereos, and 24/7 air conditioning, making it easy to unwind in total comfort.

The crew of 4 goes above and beyond to make sure your vacation is perfect; their great service is reflected in the many positive reviews they receive from their guests, showing you the best spots in the Virgin Islands and catering to your every need.

On deck, you’ll find plenty of spots to soak in the sun, from the upper deck lounges to the oversized bow sun pad. Plus, there’s a fresh or saltwater pool up front and an expansive swim platform for easy access to snorkeling and water fun.

Overall, Suite Life delivers on its name, offering a top-tier experience with a cozy, personal feel. Perfect for anyone looking to live the suite life, if only for a while.

What Does All-Inclusive Yacht Charter Mean?

To understand the prices listed in this article, it is important first to understand what an All-Inclusive Yacht Charter BVI means. –In yacht charters, two main contract types are used: CYBA (Caribbean Yacht Brokers Association) and MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association). CYBA contracts, common in the Caribbean (all catamarans and some motor yachts), are all-inclusive except for gratuities and are in the industry referred to as “Caribbean terms.” MYBA contracts, used globally, are “plus expenses,” meaning fuel, food, and dockage are extra and handled through Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA).

Note: The prices listed in this article are all-inclusive yacht charter prices, whereas prices listed on the individual yacht pages are +Expenses rates and have an APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) charge added on top, usually set at around 35% of the base charter fee.

“A Classic Yacht with Michelin-Level Service”

If you are looking for a more classic yacht, this 82-foot Horizon motor yacht, Qara, might be for you. Qara underwent a full refit in 2023, and her beautiful all-wooden interior is in excellent condition – look through the pictures to see her stunning, classic cabins.

Along with her nautical look, Qara comes with a great list of on-water activities; she’s got a Jacuzzi on the back deck next to the outdoor barbeque. She’s got all the equipment for deep-sea fishing, so you got something fresh to throw on that barbeque. And she’s got a great collection of water toys, including water skis, wakeboard, sea scooter, kayak, floating mats, snorkel gear, underwater camera, and beach games.

Captain Mark Sperber has enjoyed being on the water his whole life, from catamaran racing to working for the largest subcontractor for oil spill cleanups in the Gulf during the Deep Water Horizon recovery efforts; Mark understands how to give guests a great introduction to life on the water.

Chef Beth Basinski has spent 15 years perfecting her craft on luxury yachts, blending her love for food with a focus on wellness. Her meals are all about making you feel good, inside and out.

Stewardess/Deckhand Morgan Donovan traded NYC’s fast-paced restaurant scene—managing a Michelin Star restaurant and a top food hall—for the laid-back Caribbean. She’s all about creating a relaxed, unforgettable experience on board, with a touch of that NYC flair.

“Get More Space with this Brand-New Luxury Power Catamaran”

Although not technically a motor yacht, I wanted to showcase a power catamaran to demonstrate what you can expect in terms of space and amenities—comparable to a motor yacht that’s 15-20% larger. Blessed compares to a motor yacht approximately 92 to 96 feet in length.

So why choose Blessed among the many power catamarans in the Caribbean? Blessed is a brand-new, 80-foot Sunreef catamaran built in 2024 at the Sunreef factory in Gdansk. The design and construction were overseen by Tim Miller and Julie Brown, who also run the yacht as Captain and Chef, so they really know the yacht inside out!

Blessed is 80 feet long and can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 cabins–4 masters and a double–all with en-suite bathrooms. It is ideal for a large group of friends or a big family gathering.

Blessed is truly a grand yacht both in terms of space and interior design – the main saloon and galley are like a penthouse. The best must be the flybridge, which features a Jacuzzi, a wet bar, 2 refrigerators, 2 ice makers, and a 55” smart TV. With multiple locations for sunbathing or enjoying the shade, this space is designed for ultimate relaxation (and the occasional dance party)!

Blessed’s Toy Garage easily deploys into the water from the hydraulic swim platform, providing effortless access to exciting adventures with the foils, Seabobs, or snorkeling! Or, enjoy a refreshing cocktail on the 10’ inflatable pool deck. Blessed also has SCUBA gear onboard, and Captain Tim happens to be a Dive instructor.

This catamaran is, through and through, a really amazing yacht that easily rivals a motor yacht in terms of luxury.

“A Great Luxury Yacht with Focus on Local Culture – From Sea to Platter Style Cuisine”

If you’re keen on fishing or simply relish the thrill of catching your own dinner, Midnight Moon is perfectly equipped. The yacht comes with all the necessary deep-sea fishing gear, complemented by a crew who are both skilled in fishing and passionate about cooking your catch.

The reason I put Midnight Moon this high on the list is because it is a really fantastic all-around yacht with everything you need for a 1-week or more luxury charter vacation with a real taste of the Caribbean. With 1 master and 3 VIP cabins accommodating up to 8 guests, she is a great option for a group of friends or a family trip.

She’s got a swim platform, a sweet water toy collection, a deck Jacuzzi, a great crew of 3, and a fantastic seafood-focused menu. You are in for a real Caribbean treat!

“This Yacht has EVERYTHING Luxury + a Very Flexible Cabin Layout!”

There are many reasons why I have selected this yacht as number 1 on the list: At 135 feet and three decks high, it has all the space needed for a big group charter without feeling crowded at all. Plus, she accommodates 12 guests, which is perfect for a big group of friends or two families sharing a luxury charter.

The interior is simply stunning—classic, elegant, and bright. The light wood, white carpets, and chic furniture create a modern, airy vibe, topped off by a gorgeous chandelier that adds a touch of glam.

The cabins are equally impressive. With a master suite, four VIPs, and one twin, there’s plenty of room to spread out and storage space is more than ample–I honestly don’t think you can overpack for this yacht vacation.

The flybridge is fantastic on Stay Salty; there is both a seating area, sunbathing loungers, and a fully equipped bar. There is another bar inside, so you don’t have to walk far for a cocktail.

With a crew of 8, including a masseuse offering massages anywhere on the yacht or even on the beach, you’re in for some serious pampering.

In conclusion, this yacht is absolutely brilliant!
