Alexia Lucas – BVI Yacht Charter Broker

Alexia Lucas is the owner of Virgin Charter Yachts and a professional yacht charter broker specializing in luxury crewed yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands and Caribbean.

As the owner of a BVI-based charter company, Alexia brings a perspective to yacht charter brokerage that goes beyond reviewing yacht listings. She works within the charter industry every day, with firsthand knowledge of charter yachts, yacht management, crews and the British Virgin Islands.

Alexia is a member of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA) and the Virgin Islands Professional Charter Association (VIPCA) and helps clients select luxury sailing catamarans, power catamarans and motor yachts throughout the professional BVI and Caribbean crewed charter market.

More Than a Yacht Listing

Choosing a luxury crewed yacht is about much more than comparing photographs, cabin counts and prices.

The captain and chef can have just as much influence on a charter vacation as the yacht itself. Different crews also have different personalities, specialties and levels of experience.

Some are particularly well suited to families with children. Others are ideal for couples, active groups, food-focused travelers or guests looking for a quieter and more private experience.

Alexia’s approach to charter brokerage is therefore based on matching clients with both the right yacht and the right crew.

BVI Experience That Goes Beyond Brokerage

Virgin Charter Yachts has been operating in the British Virgin Islands since 1996, and Alexia and her husband Gary purchased the company in 2013 after years of visiting and chartering in the BVI themselves.

Today, Virgin Charter Yachts operates from Nanny Cay, Tortola and provides bareboat charters, luxury all-inclusive crewed yacht charters, yacht management and yacht sales.

That means Alexia doesn’t experience the charter industry solely from behind a computer! 

Running an active charter operation provides her with firsthand insight into yacht maintenance and management, guest expectations, charter operations and the practical details that can separate an average yacht vacation from an exceptional one.

Access to Crewed Yachts Throughout the BVI and Caribbean

One important distinction about working with Alexia and Virgin Charter Yachts is that clients are not limited to yachts owned or managed by Virgin Charter Yachts.

As a professional charter yacht broker, Alexia can help clients evaluate luxury crewed yachts throughout the BVI and Caribbean charter market.

This allows recommendations to begin with the client’s needs rather than a particular yacht.

The process starts with understanding your group: your dates, budget, number of guests, cabin requirements, preferred activities, dining expectations and what you want your vacation to feel like.

From there, Alexia can help narrow the available choices and identify the yachts and crews that best match those priorities.

Professional Charter Industry Memberships

Alexia is a member of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA) and the Virgin Islands Professional Charter Association (VIPCA).

Professional involvement in the charter industry provides opportunities to meet yacht crews, inspect charter yachts, attend industry yacht shows and remain familiar with changes in the BVI and Caribbean crewed yacht market.

That firsthand knowledge is particularly important because yacht specifications and professional photographs only tell part of the story.

Knowing the people operating the yacht can be just as important as knowing the yacht itself.

A Broker Who Is Actually in the BVI

The British Virgin Islands isn’t simply one of the destinations Alexia sells – It’s where Virgin Charter Yachts operates.

The company is based at Nanny Cay on Tortola, giving Alexia and the VCY team firsthand knowledge of the cruising area, charter operations, BVI-based charter crews and the local marine industry.

For guests planning their first BVI yacht charter, that means the conversation doesn’t have to stop at choosing a yacht. The VCY team can also help with questions about itineraries, islands, restaurants, activities, transportation and what to expect once you arrive.

Finding the Right Yacht and Crew for You

There is no single “best” luxury crewed yacht in the British Virgin Islands.

The best yacht for a family traveling with young children may be completely different from the best yacht for four couples celebrating milestone birthdays.

That’s why Alexia’s approach begins with the guests rather than the yacht.

If you’re considering a luxury all-inclusive crewed yacht charter in the BVI, tell us your dates, group size, approximate budget and what you’re hoping to experience.

We’ll help you determine which yachts and crews deserve to be at the top of your list.
