Fear not! Let this yacht charter guide be your compass.

• It will help you prepare for first-class island resorts, secluded beaches, and vibrant coral reefs.

• Visit the best BVI restaurants that serve local dishes.
• Choose the right luxury boat that meets your preferences.

So, please leave it to your private crew. Embrace the adventure while finalizing your Caribbean sailing itinerary.

This is your roadmap to an unforgettable journey.

What is a catamaran?

It is a type of boat, but instead of one hull, it has two. A catamaran with these hulls is like a double-decker bus of the sea. It is also more stable than a regular boat.

Here are some facts about catamarans:

• They are stable compared to regular boats. The wide stance makes them steady. Just like a seesaw, the further apart the ends are, the harder it is to tip over.
• They are spacious. When renting a private boat, you get a lot of deck space for sunbathing. There are hotel-like cabins. There are also dedicated areas for alfresco dining and water toys.
• They have a shallow draft. Unlike large cruise ships, catamaran yachts can go closer to shorelines without damaging coral reefs. So, you can access hidden covers and snorkel in shallow waters.
• Less water, less drag. Unlike bulky monohulls, catamarans have less water “belly” to push through the waves. Thus, they need less power (sails or engines) to zoom around, making them more efficient.

What makes a yacht charter even more special?

The sense of freedom and adventure is unparalleled. It is also about getting a personalized sailing itinerary. So, you can explore the best BVI beaches which the common tourist crowd cannot go to.

Moreover, it is not just a simple vacation but a holistic experience . Feel the thrill of trying out different water sports. Be refreshed by vibrant marine life such as dolphin watching, “swimming with pigs”, and turtles.

You can also get a taste of fresh seafood dishes prepared by your private crew. Lastly, stop by lively beach bars for a taste of local nightlife and well-crafted cocktails. Have you heard of the famous cocktail “Painkiller?”

Why rent a British Virgin Islands catamaran charter?

There is nothing wrong with a traditional sailboat. But, if you can take your island vacation to the next level, then why not?

Here are the advantages of choosing a chartered yacht in the BVI:

• A power catamaran or motor yacht is like a hybrid floating hotel and a sleek sports car. You get the best of both worlds: powerful engines and world-class amenities.
• No waiting time. When going on a crewed yacht, you can go island hopping between Caribbean islands on your terms. Unlike a group tour or cruise ship, there are no other guests that you have to wait for.
• Distance becomes your playground. Visit the Baths on Virgin Gorda in the morning. Then, catch the sunset on Jost Van Dyke in the afternoon. You can even tick off each island in the BVI if you want to.
• Anchoring made easy. Your yacht crew will not struggle with traditional anchors and lines. They can drop the controls for effortless anchoring. So, no need to feel pressured that you need to help in pulling the anchor and sails, too.
• British Virgin Islands catamaran rentals are built for luxury. They are typically spacious, well-equipped, and airconditioned. The powerful engines can support even the onboard kitchen, sun loungers, and jacuzzi.
• No need to worry about unpredictable weather. No more “rainy day” blues. With a powerful luxury yacht, you can keep on sailing through the Caribbean Sea.

If you want speed, flexibility, luxury, and comfort, then a boat charter in the BVI fits you perfectly.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands?

BVI catamaran charter cost varies depending on various factors, such as:

• number of nights

• destinations

The average sailing catamaran prices can range from:

• $15,000 to 25,000
• $27,000 to 50,000

Lastly, the average power catamaran cost ranges from:

Here are some ideas on how to seamlessly journey from these two Caribbean regions:

• Go on an island-hopping escapade. Start in the USVI Capital, Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas. Then, enjoy the landscape views of St John. You can also snorkel the coral gardens of Maho Bay and head to the secluded beauty of Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands.
• Explore nature’s wonders. Hike the rainforest trails of St Croix, USVI. Then, head to the Baths National Park, BVI. Then, enjoy kayaking or swimming at Salt Pond Beach in St John.
• Get a taste of history and culture. While on a catamaran charter, you can include Christiansted St Croix in your itinerary. Visit 18th-century plantation ruins on St John, and head over to Road Town, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.

Note that the key to planning your dream itinerary is flexibility.

BVI Catamaran Charter FAQs

1. how many people can a catamaran charter accommodate.

It depends. Luxury private yachts come in different sizes . They can accommodate anywhere from 2 to 12 guests comfortably.

Imagine cozy trips for couples on small boats or spacious vacations for friends or families on bigger catamarans.

Tip: Consider your group size and desired level of privacy when choosing the perfect size.

2. How far can you travel on a catamaran charter?

Your island-hopping dreams have no limits. BVI catamarans typically have a cruising speed of 8-10 knots. Thus, you can comfortably explore nearby islands like Jost Van Dyke or Norman Island within a day.

For longer journeys, from BVI to USVI or vice versa, plan for a multi-day charter itinerary. Remember, fuel range and weather conditions also play a role in determining your itinerary.

3. Are BVI catamaran charters expensive?

While undeniably luxurious, BVI catamaran charters offer a range of budget options. Choosing smaller boats, traveling during nonpeak seasons, and planning shorter trips can also bring down the cost.

Don’t hesitate to compare prices and find the option that fits your budget without compromising on the experience.

4. What is the best size of catamaran to sail in the BVI?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this. The important thing is to consider your priorities.

A 40 to 50-foot catamaran offers excellent maneuverability for exploring hidden coves. It also provides a cozy atmosphere for smaller groups.

Larger vessels, 50ft and above , boast expansive decks and luxurious amenities. Plus, there is more onboard space for bigger groups or those seeking ultimate comfort.

Ultimately, choose a size that balances your desired space, budget, and sailing goals.

5. How do you choose the right type of boat charter?

Choosing the perfect yacht is never easy. But, with proper guidance from an expert yacht charter broker, planning a vacation and choosing the right boat charter should go smoothly:

• How many people are traveling?
• What type of yacht are you considering? Power catamaran, sailing catamaran?
• What kind of amenities are important for you and your guests (e.g., water sports equipment, spa)?
• What is your budget range?
• What islands do you want to explore?

These are just a few questions to answer when planning for your vacation. Once you have a clearer picture, browse reputable charter companies, compare fleets, and ask questions. They’ll help you find the ideal vessel and curate an unforgettable itinerary.

6. What is the best catamaran charter to rent for a BVI sailing vacation?

There’s no single “best” catamaran. It’s all about finding the perfect match for your travel needs and desires. Choose what’s important: big decks, fancy cabins, affordable choices, and extras like kayaks or fishing gear.

Remember, the best catamaran is the one that makes your island dream vacation come true.

So, what are you waiting for? Sail forth and let the magic of the British Virgin Islands unfold.
