The Only 6-Cabin Power Catamaran for Bareboat Charter in the BVI: Meet 'Unwinding'
Planning a BVI yacht charter for a group of 12 can be surprisingly difficult — especially if you want the speed, space and comfort of a power catamaran rather than a sailing catamaran.
Most BVI bareboat power catamarans are designed with three, four or five guest cabins. That often means a group of 12 has to split between two yachts, put guests in convertible salon berths, or compromise on privacy.
'Unwinding,' our Aventura 50 Powercat, changes that.
With an incredibly unique 6-cabin, 6-head layout, Unwinding can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in six private cabins, with each cabin having access to its own private head.
Most importantly, there is no other 6-cabin, 6-head power catamaran currently available for bareboat charter in the BVI, from any charter company or manufactures!
There are sailing catamarans available with six cabins, but if your group wants a powercat for 12 guests, Unwinding is your only option.
Why the Aventura 50 Is So Unique for Groups of 12
Finding a yacht with enough beds for 12 people isn't necessarily difficult. Finding one with six actual guest cabins is.
That distinction can make an enormous difference during a week-long BVI charter.
Many power catamarans increase their maximum sleeping capacity by using a convertible salon table, bunk-bed cabin or other secondary sleeping space. Those arrangements can work well for families with children, but they're often less desirable when you're traveling with six couples or a large group of adults.
On Unwinding, the Aventura 50's innovative layout provides:
6 private guest cabins
6 heads
Accommodations for up to 12 guests
No need for guests to sleep in the salon
Excellent privacy for couples and adult groups
The space and convenience of a large power catamaran
No sails to raise, lower or manage during your vacation
For six couples traveling together, that makes Unwinding particularly difficult to match.
Why Choose a Power Catamaran for Your BVI Bareboat Charter?
The British Virgin Islands are ideally suited to power catamaran cruising.
The islands are relatively close together, which means your vacation can be about enjoying the destinations rather than spending hours getting from one island to the next.
A BVI power catamaran charter gives you the flexibility to have breakfast in one location, snorkel somewhere else before lunch and still arrive at your overnight destination with plenty of time to enjoy the afternoon.
For larger groups, a powercat also provides the generous indoor and outdoor living areas that make a yacht feel comfortable even with 10 or 12 people aboard.
Unwinding combines those advantages with something virtually impossible to find elsewhere in the BVI bareboat market: six separate guest cabins.
Don't Have the Experience to Bareboat an Aventura 50? Add a Captain.
You don't necessarily need to give up the privacy and flexibility of a bareboat charter simply because no one in your group has the experience required to operate a 50-foot power catamaran.
If you love Unwinding but don't have the necessary boating experience, we can add a professional captain for $250 per day, plus gratuity.
This can be a great middle ground between a traditional BVI bareboat charter and a fully crewed yacht charter.
You still provision the yacht the way you want, create the type of vacation you want and enjoy the yacht with your own group — but you have an experienced captain handling the boat and navigation.
It's also an excellent option for groups where someone could captain the yacht but would rather spend the week enjoying the vacation instead.
If you do need to add a captain to your group, then the maximum number of guests you can have on board is 10. One of the 6 cabins needs to be reserved for the captain and the other 5 cabins are available for your group.
You May See Unwinding on Hundreds of Websites — But There Is Only One Unwinding
This is something that can be confusing when researching BVI yacht charters online.
You may find Unwinding — and other yachts in our fleet — displayed on many different charter websites around the world.
That does not mean those companies own, operate or manage the yacht.
There are hundreds of charter brokers and travel websites that market yachts located throughout the BVI. A charter broker may display Unwinding on its website and accept a reservation for the yacht, but the actual charter is still being provided through Virgin Charter Yachts.
Virgin Charter Yachts is the company that manages Unwinding and offers the Aventura power catamarans for charter in the BVI.
When you book Unwinding directly with us, you're dealing directly with the company responsible for the yacht before, during and after your charter.
Why Book Unwinding Directly with Virgin Charter Yachts?
Virgin Charter Yachts has been providing BVI yacht charters for 30 years, and we're based right here in the British Virgin Islands at Nanny Cay - that matters!
Our team doesn't simply make your reservation and pass it along to another charter company. We know Unwinding. We manage the yacht. Our team prepares it for your arrival, briefs you before departure and supports you throughout your charter.
When you have questions about the yacht, you're speaking with the people who actually know it.
When you need help planning your vacation, you also have access to our experienced team and concierge-style customer service. We can help with the details that turn a yacht rental into a great BVI vacation — from planning your itinerary and provisioning to transportation, restaurant recommendations and other arrangements before you arrive.
And if you need assistance while you're on charter, you're dealing directly with the company managing the yacht rather than contacting a third-party broker who then has to contact us.
For a yacht as unique as Unwinding, booking direct simply makes sense.
A BVI Powercat Designed for Six Couples
One of the situations where Unwinding really stands apart is a vacation with six couples.
Finding a BVI yacht for 12 adults normally involves compromises. Someone gets the bunk room. Someone sleeps in the salon. Or the group has to charter two separate boats.
With six cabins and six heads, everyone aboard Unwinding can have their own private space while the entire group still gets to vacation together on one yacht.
That makes her an exceptional choice for:
Six couples traveling together
Multi-generational family vacations
Large groups of friends
Birthday celebrations
Anniversary trips
Family reunions
Groups that would otherwise need two bareboats
Instead of coordinating two boats, two sets of provisions and two separate charter schedules, everyone can stay together aboard one spacious 50-foot power catamaran.
Explore the BVI at Your Own Pace
A bareboat charter gives you something a resort vacation simply can't: the freedom to wake up each morning and decide where you want to go next.
Cruise from Tortola toward Norman Island, Peter Island or Cooper Island. Explore Virgin Gorda and the North Sound. Head north to Anegada. Spend your days snorkeling, swimming, visiting beach bars and exploring some of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean.
Then return to your own floating home at the end of the day.
For a group of up to 12 people, Unwinding makes that experience possible without sacrificing private cabins or moving everyone onto two separate yachts.
Looking for a BVI Bareboat for 12 Guests? Start with Unwinding.
If you're searching for a BVI bareboat charter for 12 people, there are plenty of sailing catamarans to consider.
But if you specifically want a power catamaran for 12 guests, your options become dramatically more limited.
If you want six cabins and six heads on a bareboat powercat, there is only one.
Our Aventura 50 offers a combination you simply won't find on another bareboat power catamaran currently available in the British Virgin Islands: six private guest cabins, six heads, accommodations for up to 12 guests and all the advantages of exploring the BVI aboard a powercat.
And because Virgin Charter Yachts manages Unwinding directly, there's no reason to put a third party between you and the company actually providing your charter.
