Why Crewed Catamarans are the Number ONE Choice in the British Virgin Islands
-
- The British Virgin Islands offer a paradise for sailing catamarans with consistent winds, clear waters, tons of amazing island destinations, and iconic beach bars!
-
- The water is super shallow, greatly limiting access for deep-drafted vessels; a shallow-drafted catamaran simply offers more freedom of movement and allows you to anchor closer to those awesome beach bars!
-
- Catamarans are still significantly more affordable compared to motor yachts!
-
- Catamarans are very spacious, making them ideal for a larger group of friends wanting a luxury charter experience and splitting the bill or families with kids.
-
- Because of these super catamaran-friendly conditions, a huge charter catamaran fleet has been established in the British Virgin Islands, with much to choose from. No matter if you want a sailing catamaran, a power catamaran, a bareboat charter, or a crewed catamaran charter, there is plenty available!
-
- More and more charterers opt for crewed yacht charters, as you simply get so much more for your money, i.e. private chef, dive instructors, guide with local insights, etc.
-
- In recent years, we have seen charter catamarans evolve considerably: They are becoming bigger and more luxurious, often rivaling motor yacht charters in terms of onboard space and luxury amenities. It is not at all uncommon to find an 80-foot Catamaran with Jet Ski, Jacuzzi, and massage facilities.
8. Ipharra ⏐ 102 ft Sunreef

Ready to Start Your BVI Yacht Charter?
- The majority of catamaran charters in the British Virgin Islands start from either Nanny Cay or the US Virgin Islands. Clearances at the border are required upon arrival in the BVI by air or sea. Another starting point for some charters is Hodges Creek Marina, which is located on the East End. If you’re arriving by plane, the marina is conveniently situated just a 15-minute drive from the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island.
- If you happen to arrive days before your charter begins, consider a stay at White Bay (Jost Van Dyke) or the renowned Bitter End Yacht Club in Virgin Gorda. It’s not just a historical spot but also offers a range of luxurious amenities and exciting water-based activities.
- Ensure you allocate some time to visit Peter Island during your sailing adventure. This natural haven features over 200 varieties of flora and fauna, vibrant coral reefs, and pristine, white sandy beaches.
- A trip to the BVI wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Bubbly Pool, a unique natural jacuzzi. Located on the northeast shore of Jost Van Dyke, which is one of the smaller islands in the BVI, this naturally formed pool offers a refreshing experience for visitors.
- Another iconic spot is The Baths in Virgin Gorda, with its maze of giant boulders creating tidal pools, tunnels, arches, and scenic grottoes. It’s a geological wonder and a favorite spot for both snorkeling and exploration.
- Anegada, the only coral island in the BVI volcanic chain, is known for its stunning beaches and the unique Horseshoe Reef, which shelters vibrant marine life and historic shipwrecks. The island is also famous for its lobster dishes.
- While in the vicinity of Jost Van Dyke, aside from the Bubbly Pool, you might want to drop by the Soggy Dollar Bar, the birthplace of the famous Painkiller cocktail. It’s a quintessential beach bar experience.
- Norman Island, reputedly the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island,” is famous for the Caves, a popular snorkeling spot, and Willy T’s, a floating bar and restaurant.

The 55 Bali was great as we were the first paying customers. Beautiful boat with plenty of room. The Captain and first mate were great. Food was top notch and so good that we opted to not do 1 shore dinner and just ate on the boat. We saw and did everything that we set out to see. I would repeat in a heartbeat.

Types of Charter Yachts
We recommend either chartering a catamaran or a motor yacht for your crewed yacht charter vacation in the British Virgin Islands. Why? The water in the BVI is very shallow, which greatly limits accessibility for deep-drafted yachts.
“We have seen a growing demand for luxury motor yachts among high-end charter guests.”
