The purpose of this post is to help anyone that is on the fence about taking the adventure of a life time. My advice: Invest in the training, plan, plan, plan, show a ton of respect to the sea (and other sailors), and go for it!

Chrysomallos, March 2014
We had a great experience with BVI Yacht Charters this Spring Break. My wife and I bareboated Chrysomallos with our two children. Not only was the yacht clean, well kept but she sailed beautifully. Check out and check in was a breeze and the staff was super friendly/helpful. This was my 5th time to the BVI, 4th time sailing. BVI Yacht Charters far exceeded our expectations and we plan to use them for our future voyages. ... Read More »

Trip #20 to the BVI

It was really a musical trip as we saw Michael Bean in Levrick Bay and Keytar Jeff played in Spanish town at the Rock Cafe. We were able ... Read More »
Three weeks is not enough!
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 »
