BVI Catamaran Charter

A crewed catamaran in the BVI starts around $15,000 a week with a captain only. We recommend from $30,000 for a fully crewed, all-inclusive week, and most of our catamaran charters book between $30,000 and $60,000. A 70 ft+ catamaran with a full crew runs $60,000 and up.

A BVI catamaran charter is hands down the best way to explore the British Virgin Islands, and we recommend one to 90% of our clients.

They’re stable, comfortable, and perfectly suited to the calm, protected waters of the BVI. With two hulls, wide decks, and open living spaces, a catamaran feels more like a floating beach villa than a traditional yacht, but with the freedom to move.

Why Charter a Catamaran in the BVI?

How Much Does a BVI Catamaran Charter Cost?

BVI catamaran charters start around $15,000 per week for a captain-only crewed charter. For a fully crewed, all-inclusive week we recommend from $30,000. Most of our charters book at $30,000 to $60,000, and $60,000 to $100,000+ is super-luxury catamaran territory.

Most BVI catamaran charters are all-inclusive. That means:

• Catamaran, crew, food, drinks, and fuel are included
• No surprise charges at the end of your trip
• Itinerary, menus, and bar preferences planned in advance
• No VAT or charter tax in the BVI, unlike the Bahamas or the Med

Where to Go on a BVI Catamaran Charter

Our recommended route keeps every sail short (under 2 hours a day) and leaves the rest of the time for the water. In a week you’ll hit the BVI’s signature stops, The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, the reefs off Anegada, and Norman Island, without ever feeling rushed. Because a catamaran draws so little water, you can anchor closer to the beach than most monohulls, right where you want to be.
