I was lucky enough this year to spend 3 weeks on two different Lagoons, Ideal and Serena with 3 different crews. Think of having to eat Anageda lobster three weeks in a row! Almost like listening and dancing to Quito three times at Cane Garden. (No northerly swell, thank you) You know, I may go for four weeks in 2015. Thank you to everyone at BVYC! ... Read More »

Great Winter Escape
We just completed a week aboard Chablis and had a wonderful time in the British Virgin Islands. This was our first time to BVI and the staff at BVI Yacht Charters made the preparation and checkout a breeze. We loved the freedom of chartering our own boat to go where and when we pleased. The sailing, snorkeling, and dining were excellent with each island offering its own unique flavor. Coming from the north it was a great way to escape winter and enjoy an active yet relaxing vacation. ... Read More »
Another great week in the BVI
We took a family trip of 6 to the BVI in February of 2014 and had a delightful time. Coming from the states we couldn't get into Tortola before 4PM so we opted to do the sleep aboard the first night. BVI Yacht Charter had everything ready and the first night went like clockwork. Early the next morning the staff checked us out and we were on our way to Norman Island by 11AM. The Ilse Dance 2 was in great shape and we had no problems with it. I especially like the cell phone they gave us to call ... Read More »

Christmas Cruise
Our family of 8 had a fantastic cruse on BVI Yacht Charter's Jacomina H. Hats off to Cassie and Abbie who cheerfully and promptly answered ALL our dumb questions from inverter type to rum brands.

A great time aboard Ty Soizic!
I have chartered in the BVI's several times through other charter companies but this year chose BVI Yacht Charters for our get away. What a great decision. The helpful friendly staff made us feel welcome and met all our needs. The boat was great and performed perfectly. Sailing in the second week of December was brisk to say the least ! 32 knot winds one day gave everyone a few stories to tell when we got back home. Three of our crew were non sailors but all aboard thoroughly enjoyed the week ... Read More »

Charter guest Tgitte Nauta crossed the Atlantic
Charter guest Tgitte Nauta crossed the Atlantic between Europe and the BVI for the first time as part of the delivery crew for Bruno, our new Beneteau Oceanis 55. This was his first time crossing the Atlantic, so he was bleary eyed on arrival at the dock, and very happy to see land. Bruno left from Les Sables d'Olonne, a seaside town in the West of France on the 29th of October. They headed south across the Bay of Biscay, arriving in La Coruna, a busy port in the North-Western corner of ... Read More »

BVI Yacht Charters is the best!
Our sailing holiday on Olive was simply the best. Not only the fantastic weather and wunderful islands made this a perfect vacation, the really good customer service of BVI Yacht Charters provided a trouble-free time. Their staff is always there to help with any issues you may have. Even if it is about dealing with a stowaway iguana, who somehow got on board and tried to go on a free sailing trip :-) or to fix a travel bag, which the airline had damaged. Everybody is very competent, in ... Read More »

Fantastic Trip aboard Island Time
"Our trip started out as a holiday during our first week with BVI Yacht Charters. Not knowing the charter world, we did not know what to expect. What we found was our boat in great shape and very friendly staff available to answer our questions. The boat was maintained well (special thanks to Anthony and Lenny) and the islands and waters of the BVI second to none. “We can get use to this” was all that needed to be said to continue on another boat for the second week – no longer a holiday, but a ...

The most amazing holiday ever on “Olive” – we found paradise
We have just had the most amazing 10 days sailing on board Olive, Beneteau 31 around the BVI. We contacted numerous companies with questions in early in 2013 about sailing in the BVI and other locations – it became very clear from the immediate professional and informative reply from BVI Yacht Charters that they would be the company we would trust and book with. From the very first message we sent to arriving in the Marina on 19th Oct every question was answered quickly and promptly and gave ... Read More »
Spectacular Off-Season Sail on Being Nauti
My husband and I just returned from a five day captained sail on Being Nauti, traveling with five teenagers. We sailed in the off-season (June) and despite some minor afternoon showers we found it to be a wonderful time to sail in the BVI! The snorkeling spots, beaches and restaurants were uncrowded and the attitude so relaxed. Our captain knew all of the best spots, was a font of information on the islands, and he also took the time to teach the younger 'crew' a little about sailing. BVIYC was ... Read More »
WOW!! What a trip!
My family of six spent a fantastic week in the BVI's aboard Kiaora, a 38 foot cat. What a trip! BVI Yacht Charters treated us right. The boat was in great shape and everything worked perfectly. We were able to provision essentially across the street at OneMart the night before leaving which sped up our departure the next day. We had a few minor boat problems that were easily dealt with over the phone. Anthony, Abbie and Cassie were all very helpful with the boat as well as helping me find places ... Read More »

WATCHING THE WHALE MIGRATION…
Most places in the world have had a pretty cold winter this year, and many are still shivering under a blanket of snow. We love this time of year as the whales start making their way south, on their annual migration to warmer waters. There have been several sightings in this last week of humpback whales with their calves, breaching in the channel. It is really a sight to behold. Because of their colossal size (up to 50 feet in length and 40 tons) and acrobatic behaviours of throwing ... Read More »
