The captain will be in touch to find out what your vacation ‘style’ is and to find out what you would like to do on your yacht charter. Are you very adventurous and want to go hiking, paddle boarding, fishing, diving etc? Do you want to go to all the ‘happening’ beach bars? Or, would you prefer beaches that are ‘off the beaten path’ in total seclusion? Based on your conversation, the captain will help develop an itinerary that is completely personalized around your interests, while arranging any additional activities you might want that to entail.

Luxury yachts come fully equipped for charter with an array of water toys to enjoy all the seas have to offer, including; snorkeling equipment, floating mats, paddle boards,  kayaks,  wakeboards, sea scooters, Efoil boards, jet skis (not permitted in the BVI), and sometimes even water trampolines and/or giant water slides.

The rate of the luxury yacht is always inclusive of the crew that is employed by that yacht. Once you select and book the charter yacht, both the captain and chef will be in contact with you directly. Your private chef will send you a ‘preference’ sheet that allows you to detail anything you like or dislike to eat, types of cuisine you prefer, the type and brands of soft drinks and alcohol you would like on board etc. It is extremely comprehensive and allows the chef to create a menu that is tailor made to your taste. The chef plans for you to eat three meals a day on board the yacht. If you want to go ashore any day or night for a meal you can certainly plan to do so.

What is included in a crewed yacht charter?

A crewed charter typically includes a professional crew (captain, chef, and crew members), accommodation, meals prepared onboard, beverages, and access to water toys and onboard equipment.

Do I need any sailing experience for a crewed charter?

No experience is required. The crew handles all navigation, safety, and operations, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy your holiday.

Can I customise my itinerary?

Yes. Your itinerary is completely personalised based on your preferences, whether you prefer adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both.

Are meals included in the charter?

Yes. A private chef prepares customised meals based on your dietary preferences, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Can I request specific food and drinks?

Absolutely. You will complete a preference sheet before your trip, allowing the chef to tailor meals and beverages to your tastes.

What activities are available on board?

Most yachts include snorkelling gear, paddleboards, kayaks, and other water toys. Some yachts may also offer premium equipment depending on the vessel.

How far in advance should I book?

It’s recommended to book several months in advance, especially for peak season (December–April), to secure the best yachts.

What destinations can I explore?

Crewed charters in the British Virgin Islands allow you to visit multiple islands, secluded beaches, and popular hotspots, all within short cruising distances.

Choosing the right yacht is important, but choosing the right crew and the right charter broker can make an even bigger difference in your vacation. At Virgin Charter Yachts, we offer something relatively unique: we are not simply an online yacht booking platform. We are a BVI-based charter company, professional crewed yacht broker, and yacht management company with 30 years of experience in the British Virgin Islands.

30 Years of BVI Charter Experience

Virgin Charter Yachts has been operating in the British Virgin Islands since 1996. Our team doesn’t just sell vacations to the BVI—we live and work in the charter industry here.

That local experience gives us firsthand knowledge of the islands, anchorages, restaurants, activities, charter yachts, crews and the overall BVI charter experience. When you have questions before or during your vacation, you’re working with a company that actually operates in the destination you’re visiting.

Access to Crewed Yachts Throughout the BVI

The crewed yachts featured on our website represent only a selection of the yachts we can offer.

As a professional crewed yacht charter broker, Virgin Charter Yachts can help you compare luxury crewed catamarans, power catamarans and motor yachts throughout the BVI and Caribbean charter market. You are not limited to yachts owned or managed by Virgin Charter Yachts.

Tell us your dates, number of guests, preferred yacht style, budget and what matters most to your group, and we’ll help narrow the options to the yachts and crews we believe are the best match.

We Know That the Crew Matters Just as Much as the Yacht

It’s easy to fall in love with beautiful yacht photos online. But after 30 years in the charter business, we know that a successful crewed yacht vacation depends on much more than the yacht itself.

Your captain and chef will be with you throughout your vacation. Their personalities, experience, local knowledge, level of service and ability to understand your group’s preferences can completely change your charter experience.

That’s why we consider both the yacht and the crew when making recommendations.

We look beyond the number of cabins, water toys and beautiful photographs. We want to help match you with a yacht whose crew, service style and personality are right for your group.

We’re Not Just Yacht Brokers — We’re Yacht Operators

Virgin Charter Yachts also directly manages charter yachts and works with professional yacht crews in the BVI.

That operational experience gives us a perspective that a typical online booking platform cannot provide. We understand what goes into maintaining and operating a charter yacht, what separates an exceptional crew from an average one, and how important reliable local support can be when you’re spending thousands of dollars on a luxury vacation.

Our recommendations are based on more than what looks good on a website. They are backed by decades of experience operating yachts and taking care of charter guests in the BVI.

Why Use a Crewed Yacht Charter Broker?

You don’t need to contact multiple yachts or spend hours trying to compare dozens of seemingly similar options online.

A professional charter broker does that work for you.

We can help you compare available yachts based on:

• Your group size and preferred cabin configuration
• Sailing catamaran, power catamaran or motor yacht
• Budget
• Captain and crew experience
• Chef and dining preferences
• Family, couples or adult-group dynamics
• Water sports and onboard amenities
• Special occasions and celebrations
• Preferred itinerary and activities
• Any special requests that are important to your group

Our goal isn’t simply to find you a yacht. It’s to help you find the right yacht and crew for your particular vacation.

Local Expertise Before, During and After Your Charter

When you book through Virgin Charter Yachts, our involvement doesn’t end when you sign the charter agreement.

Our team can help with your BVI vacation planning before you arrive, answer questions about transportation and provisioning, assist with itinerary ideas and activities, and provide the local knowledge that comes from three decades in the BVI charter industry.

And because we’re based here in the British Virgin Islands, we’re still here while you’re on charter.
