TOP 10 VERIFIED & RECOMMENDED BVI CATAMARAN CHARTER
Our senior charter brokers Daniel Asmus and Yanna Pristas have selected these 10 catamarans as a proposition of the first choice when choosing a crewed catamaran the BVI. Note that many of these are booked way ahead, inquiring early is essential.
Non-resident catamarans might be available on your dates.
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a catamaran paradise. Catamarans are known for their stability and capability to cover short distances swiftly, which is of extreme use in the BVI – with 10 to 20 nautical miles between anchorages.
Guests often choose luxury crewed catamarans for a seamless yacht charter vacation in the BVI. A family-friendly and budget-conscious choice below motor yachts – catamarans are comfortable and beloved.
Charter guests with families absolutely adore the trampoline! Both kids and adults find bouncing on it super relaxing, especially with the breathtaking backdrop of turquoise waters.
Key Locations for a crewed Catamaran in the BVI
- The majority of catamaran charters in the British Virgin Islands originate 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 located on the East End. If you’re arriving via flight, 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 verdant haven boasts 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.
Top 10 Catamarans for BVI yacht charter
As hand-selected by our Senior BVI Brokers Daniel Asmus and Yanna Pristas based on previous experience and extensive networking contacts.
1. HEMISPHERE|145 FT
HEMISPHERE, the world’s largest sailing catamaran, embodies the characteristics of a superyacht featuring expansive lounging zones, a versatile gear collection, and entertainment options that can please people of all ages. Her multi-hull design increases stability and safety even in rougher waters- making her the perfect vessel for a group with first-time charterers, children, and the elderly.
HEMISPHERE embodies the essence of onboard luxury through spacious decks, terrace lounges, sunbeds, and sofas. Her past visitors were lucky enough to watch dolphins play while having their meals at the al fresco dining area. What sets chartering on HEMISPHERE is her crew of 10, led by Captain Bladen, a qualified dive instructor with comprehensive knowledge and passion for marine life. He and two dive instructors can help you become PADI certified while on board at the Nitrox-capable dive center. The crew members always stay vigilant, from water activities to sudden excursions to relentlessly nurturing guests’ requests.
AMENITIES AND TOYS
HEMISPHERE is the dream charter for guests looking for a charter experience of diving, fishing, and snorkeling. Her 53.8ft sports fishing tender is perfect for exploring ashore, reaching special dive sites, and trying tournament-standard fishing.
Apart from the fishing and snorkeling gear, HEMISPHERE’s collection includes 2 additional tenders, SeaBobs, windsurfers, kayaks, waterskis, wakeboards, kneeboards, SUP, inflatables, diving board, and full scuba diving facilities for 12 guests. Upon spending the day trying water sports and island hopping, guests get rejuvenated at the large deck jacuzzi.
GUEST COMMENTS
‘I have been on many boats in my 57 years, and this holiday has surpassed all of them. The crew are the best we have been with. Sharks, whales, dolphins, sunsets, cocktails, laughter, loads of love -thank you, Gavin and crew.’

After Embarking on REVE BLEU, the charter guests often get surprised because she feels like a larger yacht- featuring 200 sqm of living space. This child-friendly multihull catamaran provides a stable and safe charter experience while the flexibility of usable living spaces provides comfort for the children. REVE BLEU’s unique cabins with sunroofs let the guests have a stargazing experience at night, while the master cabin users get maximum privacy thanks to the private stairs to the deck.
REVE BLEU’s guests usually relax at the aft cockpit’s spacious lounging space, where the crew -Brice, Steve, Gaïa, and Augustin– help them learn about the BVI coast or serve them with snacks and drinks.

As for the outdoor spaces, IPHARRA’s flybridge -equipped with a bar, large sofa, and deck chairs- allows guests to sprawl over in the shade or tan in the sun.
No matter how fancy a vessel is, you can’t enjoy sailing unless the crew members do their best. IPHARRA’s Captain Franck, who has been sailing for 18 years, ensures the guests get the best of everything- sailing to hidden locations, stable sailing, and water activities.

We always heard good words about BUNDALONG’s flexible layout and spacious common zones (aft, saloon, bow terrace) as guests spent hours lounging and relaxing. Previous guests who got lethargic after sprawling on BUNDALONG’s spacious sun pads used the gym equipment (yoga mats and blocks, resistance bands, free weights) to feel better.
Since BUNDALONG’s furniture pieces are movable, crew members could organize events and parties sans the congested feeling. Also, the Sonos Surround sound system throughout the main salon, cockpit, and flybridge ensured that guests had the onboard clubbing/party experience.
