Virgin Islands Yacht Charter Guide
The US Virgin Islands (USVI) and British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a paradise of blue seas and white sands, colourful marine life, and – as the most developed of the Caribbean Islands – sophisticated dining and shopping opportunities. Whether this is your first yacht charter, or you are one of the many returning visitors to the islands, your charter to the USVI will be an unforgettable experience. Two international airports and an array of local charter yachts make the logistics of your trip simple. Choose from a number of itineraries to suit your desires and budgets, and we will make it happen in the Virgin Islands.
The Island of Tortola was discovered by Christopher Columbus in the late 1400s. Here you can undertake a challenging hike through the rainforest up Sage Mountain, a great spot for bird watching, or gazing out over Tortola and the nearby islands. A favourite excursion, that can be included in your yacht charter, is a trip to Virgin Gorda. A cruise along the Sir Francis Drake Channel brings you to this Spanish Town. Anchor in the harbour by the world-famous Bitter End Yacht club, then head ashore to swim in The Baths amounts boulders, and hidden sea caves – a unique experience! Top the day off with a Painkiller cocktail from Pusser’s Landing – order a level four if you dare!The smallest of the four main BVI, Jost van Dyke is another popular yachting destination. Although there are only 25 permanent residents, JvD is one of the liveliest of the islands. With five restaurants in Great Harbour alone, you can be sure of a great lobster dinner. The welcoming atmosphere of Foxy’s Tamarind Beach Bar has persisted for generations of rum-punch lovers and reggae singers.
