Navigating the BVI with Boatyball

Testimonials.

We just returned from our bare boat charter with Conch Charters. We spent 3 weeks sailing around the USVI & the BVI. It was an amazing trip !! This was our 3rd time chartering with Conch. The first 2 times we chartered a monohull. This time we chartered a catamaran. The people who work at Conch are one of the main reasons that we continue to charter with Conch. Every single person that we have come in contact with is not superbly qualified but also super nice and very easy to work with. The boats are always well maintained and in great condition. From the bed linens to the generator, everything is always perfect. We are already planning our bare boat charter for next year - of course with Conch Charters !!!!

Katy T, Feb 2024

As we embark on our second charter with Conch (to whom we have referred everyone that wanted to go to the BVI that we know) we just wanted to thank all of you (and especially Hazelle) for all of your kindness, help, patience and information. Without doubt, your customer service ethic is the best we have seen anywhere. We have all worked for The Walt Disney Company in our lives so we know good customer service.... Thank you again. We are so excited to be seeing Conch Charters and the BVI again.

Discover the British Virgin Islands: A Premier Yacht Charter Destination

Located northeast of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) offer a pristine setting ideal for sailing. With 60 islands, many untouched and rich in biodiversity, this area is a sailor's paradise, providing calm seas and consistent sunshine.

Yacht Charter in the BVI with 12 Knots

Our fleet ranges from simple sailboats to luxurious yachts equipped with full crews. Booking early with 12 Knots ensures access to the best vessels and rates, especially during peak sailing seasons.

Key Requirements for Chartering a Yacht in the BVI

To charter a yacht in the BVI, several key requirements need to be met:

Documentation: Sailors must present a valid passport and, if required, a visa. A proof of sailing competence may also be necessary for bareboat charters.

Skills: Basic navigation and sailing skills are crucial, although 12 Knots offers skippered charters for those who prefer guided sailing.

Insurance: It is recommended to have travel and charter insurance to cover unforeseen incidents.

Local Compliance: Familiarize yourself with BVI maritime laws and customs procedures to ensure a smooth sailing experience.

Planning Your Sailing Itinerary with 12 Knots

Pre-trip planning is essential for maximizing your BVI sailing experience. 12 Knots can help arrange visits to popular spots like the coral-rich snorkeling sites at Anegada, the iconic Baths at Virgin Gorda, and various islands where you can enjoy water sports and local cuisine.

Setting Sail: Starting Your Journey with 12 Knots

Practical Travel Tips for the BVI

Early accommodation booking is advised due to the popularity of the sailing season.

Rent a Boat in the BVI with Sailo!

Looking for a BVI boat rental? Welcome to the British Virgin Islands yacht charters inventory on Sailo! The British Virgin Islands (widely known as BVI for short) is a piece of heaven on earth. Though they are a British territory, they still boast the same tropical atmosphere and island lifestyle as other well-known Caribbean sailing destinations . They’re stunningly beautiful, with gorgeous beaches, delicious local food, and enough fun in the sun for all ages.

Choose a Sailo Boat Charter in the British Virgin Islands

So why add the BVI to your travel bucket list? Well this place really does have the best of both worlds. There is enough to see and do so you could never get bored, but the environment is relaxing enough that you can still have a leisurely vacation. That’s why we recommend the BVI yacht charter as the best way to explore this slice of paradise.

Finding your perfect BVI boat rental

Because the British Virgin Islands are a tropical destination, there’s no reason not to explore this place by boat. And Sailo’s easy-to-use platform makes finding your perfect BVI yacht charter an absolute breeze. Sailo features a variety of search features to help you select the boat rental in the BVI for your dream sailing vacation, all with just a few clicks.

Sailo allows you to filter by boat type ( sailboat charters in the BVI , BVI motor boat charters , and BVI catamaran rentals ), price, travel dates, party size, whether you need to rent a boat with a captain or you need a bareboat BVI yacht rental, and plenty of other filters that allow you to narrow or broaden your search depending on your preferences. In addition to planning for the type of charter you’d like for your trip, you should also keep in mind that Sailo offers weekly boat rentals in the British Virgin Islands.

Weekly BVI bareboat yacht charters and captained rentals

Many travelers visiting the Caribbean love a BVI boat rental for a week or longer because it allows for more time and availability to see and do everything they hope for while on their trip. The British Virgin Islands boat rentals are absolutely beautiful, and they offer just as much fun as they do relaxation. That’s why Sailo recommends visiting for at least one week so you can make sure you get to check off everything on your BVI bucket list.

Another benefit of renting a weekly yacht charter in the BVI is that for a lot of the Sailo boats you have the option to reserve for free. Within the first 24 hours, you can put a hold on the boat of your choice, modify the reservation, and cancel if it isn’t the right private boat charter in BVI for you, all without a credit card requirement. Sailo also allows you to hire a skipper or rent a bareboat BVI yacht charter depending on your previous boating experience and your travel needs.

Additionally, you can add extras like transportation to and from the marina and add watersport equipment if your BVI yacht charter offers that option.

To find out which are the BVI boat charters that you can reserve for free for 24 hours, apply filter “Instant book” on the top of the listings page.

Visiting the British Virgin Islands by a boat charter

So what will you do once you get to the islands? Our list of recommendations is full of things to do that could easily fill up a week-long vacation, so for now we’ll share our top tips for seeing the British Virgin Islands by a boat charter in one week.

Start off your trip on a beautiful Tortola catamaran rental . After spending a day or two exploring the major landmarks, it’s time to set sail on one of our great BVI boat charters. Sail south to Peter Island, the largest island in the BVI with some of the most gorgeous scenery you’ll see on your trip. We recommend anchoring and hiking to the top of the island — the views are spectacular.

On the next day, cruise past the turquoise cays and picturesque grottos on Virgin Gorda and make your way to Leverick Bay. Go snorkeling near the reefs or try your hand at more advanced watersports here, too.

Over the next few days, head to the island of Anegada, known for its coral reefs and amazing marine life that feels otherworldly, and explore the local flair of Beef Island before heading to Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island in the south. Finally, head back to beautiful Tortola where your trip on one of Sailo’s BVI yacht charters began.

Other nearby Caribbean locations to explore

If you want to extend your trip and explore some more, we recommend checking out the things to do in the U.S. Virgin Islands or nearby. All of the Caribbean offers its own unique atmosphere and culture, so try renting a sailboat in another destination to see how the islands differ.

Terms and conditions, charter experts, llc terms & conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“ Terms ”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS A SECTION GOVERNING THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A LEGALLY BINDING RELEASE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By creating a username, a login, clicking submit, using the services of Charter Experts, LLC d/b/a Virgin Island Sailing® (“ Broker ) or by accessing Broker’s website, you agree that you have read, and acknowledge your acceptance of these Terms. The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Top charter company. Very friendly and customer oriented

Extremely good on the BVI Charters end of things. We received a very clean, functional and well equipped boat with service and professionalism which exceeded our expectations. The SamBoat part of the experience was largely good as well but they used Stock photos and slightly misrepresented the boat on offer. It let to us getting a tiller instead of the steering wheel we were expecting.

The community's advice on the destination

Sailboat rental in british virgin islands (bvi), hire a sailboat in the british virgin islands with or without skipper with samboat.

The British Virgin Islands are an archipelago located in the Caribbean and are part of the British mainland. It comprises four main islands, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Tortola. The British Virgin Islands have more than 60 cays and smaller islands, ideal for visiting by boat. The capital, Road Town, is on the largest island, Tortola. It is famous for its colourful architecture and for having a protected park with tropical flora. In this city you can rent a sailboat, with or without Skipper, to sail around this famous archipelago. 

If you rent a sailboat in the Caribbean, you can sail and visit any beach you want. Visit Apple Bay beach, where you will find the best waves for surf. Another beach you should visit is Cane Garden Bay which has calm waves and is sheltered from the wind, ideal for an overnight stay aboard a boat. An unspoilt beach to visit is Loblolly Bay, one of the best beaches in the world. Another idea is to rent a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands and spends the day at Elizabeth Beach, a great place to spend time with the family and enjoy the scenery.

Sailboat rental in the British Virgin Islands

Sailboat rentals in the British Virgin Islands have gained considerable popularity over the last few years. We recommend you rent your boat in advance. SamBoat has several sailboats at your disposal so you can sail the Caribbean Sea. If you rent a boat you can go island hopping to have a unique experience visiting the British Virgin Islands. Start your tour on Tortola Island, then visit Norman Island and Peter Island. You can spend three days visiting these three islands. However, if you wish to sail for longer, you are guaranteed a week's sailing in Virgin Gorda and Anega.

How much does it cost to rent a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands?

In low season sailboat rental prices start from 180 euros depending on the type of boat. When it comes to hiring a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands, the prices vary depending on the time of the season. In the high season, the demand for boat rentals increases along with the prices. To rent any of the boats available in the catalogue, we suggest that you start searching two months in advance and start the process immediately. 

Do you need a license to rent a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands?

To rent a boat in the British Virgin Islands you do not need a licence. However, you will need to prove you have sailing experience. It is recommended to have a nautical CV detailing your previous sailing experience.

If you don't have a license, don't worry, you can still enjoy the sailing experience. You can rent any boat from the catalogue but with a skipper. Ask the skippers for suggestions on local restaurants and hidden coves for an even better sailing route.

British Virgin Island Yacht Charters

Find the virgin islands vacation perfect for you.

Visiting the British Virgin Islands means direct flights into St. Thomas from a number of major US airport hubs and easy private jetport options and then a short ferry or water taxi ride into the BVIs.

The Virgin Islands has the largest number of charter yachts to choose from in both size and style. Inclusive pricing and the best values compared to any other location make the VIs the most popular charter destination .

The  35 mile island chain of British Virgin Islands has options — from busy harbors to quiet out of the way spots but always with clear blue Caribbean sea. Plus lots of calm tranquil anchorages!

Gypsy Princess

Enjoy the BVI aboard Gypsy Princess , a 45 ft Lagoon. This popular charter yacht has 3 queen cabins with ensuites, both forward and aft cockpits, a fly bridge and a social salon. Recycling is a breeze for this certified green team, a clean team and dream team, with innovative fun ideas and locally sourced food sublimely served.

Tropical Paradise Found!

Tortola, BVI   2020

 Chartering a BVI yacht gives you the freedom to forget the stresses of modern life.         Board your charter yacht at Nanny Cay Marina just a mini sail to a choice of several overnight anchorages. Lunch, sail, snorkel, happy hour, dinner – you will effortlessly glide into the quality of a tailormade liveaboard vacation . Circumnavigate Tortola with a crew to familiarize you with the secret hideaways and popular hotspots around the BVI. Anegada, North Sound – the millionaire’s playground – and the Baths for the scenic beauty. Jost Van Dyke is a must with White Bay being home to aqua waters and the Soggy Dollar Bar (because you must swim ashore) or the famous Foxy’s in Great Harbour.

Leave your watch and phone in your cabin for your swim ashore only to realize three days later you never even thought to pull them out again! 

Bagheera is a big spacious beauty of a cat.  4 queen cabins make this a perfect fit for either a group of 8 adults or a family. The crew of 3 believe in having fun and in the motto “he who has the most toys” wins. It is a registered fishing vessel but also has a whole host of other equipment for a fun-filled charter. 

Explore the Stunning Virgin Islands

Travelers diverge as they make their choices – there is no set itinerary. Depending on where you start and whether the tradewinds are slightly north of east or slightly south, you could start with the southern route heading to the outer islands of Norman, Peter, Cooper, or Salt. If you sail up the north shore you may choose Cane Garden Bay, Sandy Spit, or Camenoe. Still to explore are Trellis Bay, Virgin Gorda, and onto Anegada. With more than 60 small islands and bays, you may return again and again to visit old favorites and explore new hideaways.

Elysium , a majestic Privilege 615 cat, has three cabins, each with an ensuite to define comfort afloat. Attention to detail and elegant woodwork are the hallmark of this yacht. Elysium caters for the fun-loving and adventurous, with vibrant crew, Matt and Tara, who have more than ten years’ experience at the helm. With a collective wealth of knowledge of watersports, food, and exploring, they look forward to welcoming you on board!

A Distinctive Destination  – Yacht Charter BVI

Islands strung like a necklace curve over 35 miles from St. Thomas, USVI  in the west  into the British Virgin Islands ending at Anegada. The eastern tip of the British Virgin Islands join the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. Nature’s bounty has gifted the Virgin Islands with islands to shelter the sailor from large ocean swells and provide numerous options for calm harbors, white sand beaches and reefs that can be easily spotted in the bright tropical sun.

            Start at Trellis Bay, Beef Island Airport in the heart of the island chain and head north to Anegada, after a stop at North Sound, to find deserted swathes of empty beaches. Leave your signature footprints in the sand. Dine and dance barefoot under the stars, it is all part of your unique experience of the outer islands.

       Paddle boarding, snorkeling, or scuba diving are all optional activities from your floating vacation in the Virgins. Perfect for sailing, never out of sight of land with your next stop just a short distance away, the Virgins define easy living.

This Lagoon 62 has 4 queen cabins, lounging areas and a fly bridge with a wine fridge. 3 crew enjoy regular rave reviews for both delectable cuisine and lots of energetic watersports activity. Silver service, sailing and the sea will help you de-stress, relax and recharge.

Rendezvous diving

If your crewed charter yacht does not offer onboard diving then fear not, rendezvous diving can be arranged.

So what is Rendezvous diving?

A local dive company will pick you up direct from your charter yacht at a pre-determined location and take you for a one- or two-tank dive to experience the BVI below the water. This is an excellent option if only a couple of guests wish to dive or can work equally as well if all your group are interested. If your charter yacht offers minimal onboard diving, then rendezvous diving can also work if you wanted to add a few more dives during your charter.

Rendezvous diving is at additional cost, payable locally. The dive company provides all gear.

Explore the history of the British Virgin Islands

Archeologists estimate that the first settlers already arrived on the British Virgin Islands in 1500 BC, but the first known inhabitants of the island are Arawaks, who came here from South America. When Christopher Columbus arrived on the island in 1493 many things changed for the indigenous population. The islands became a playground for the colonial European powers Spain, the Netherlands, the French and the British, but the English were the ones who ultimately took control of the islands in 1672. Sugar cane and cotton were mainly produced here by slaves.

1780 Lower Estate Sugar Works is now a museum showing what life used to be like on the islands, including slavery. Make sure to stop by for a little history lesson.

Her Majesty's Prison Museum is an interesting museum explaining how the law was enforced back in the day and what life was like in the prison. You definitely wouldn’t want to get in trouble hearing those stories!

Discover the mystical British Virgin Islands

With many stories of pirates rummaging around the Caribbean in the 1700s and other fascinating tales of the sea, it doesn’t come as a surprise that there are a few myths surrounding the BVIs as well. One of them is the story about the British Isle Mermaids, a pair of mermaids who were always seen together between 1807 and 1828. One was said to be of Caucasian and the other of African descent. The sightings of these two mermaids might have stopped, but there are still regular reports of unusual sightings in the area.

Sailing conditions in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin islands are blessed with a tropical climate, meaning that you get to enjoy a lot of warm and sunny days, but need to be aware of hurricane season between August and October when it’s probably not the best time to sail around the area - even as an experienced sailor. The summers are incredibly hot and humid whereas the winter months from December until March are milder, but still warm. This is the perfect time to go on a sailing trip to the BVI . Temperatures average around 25 degrees during this time of year and the winds are not as strong as during other periods of the year. You can also swim in the sea during this time.

If you want to sail in stronger winds and without the crowds, you should come to the British Virgin Islands in May or June.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in the British Virgin Islands?

A BVI boat rental is probably not the cheapest holiday you can book, but it is so worth it! Expect to pay 606 EUR per person per day on average for a catamaran. Renting a sailboat in the British Virgin islands will cost you 120 EUR per person per day on average.

What type of boat is best for sailing in the British Virgin Islands?

Rent a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands

Pros of renting a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands

One of the major advantages of a catamaran rental in the British Virgin Islands is that they have a shallow draft. This makes them the perfect boat to explore all the scenic secluded beaches, bays and caves this part of the Caribbean has to offer.

Another advantage of renting a catamaran is the fact that they are equipped with a sail as well as an engine, making them prepared for all kinds of circumstances at sea. You can happily set your sail when the wind is blowing, but can retire to using the engine should the wind suddenly stop blowing. This is a great thing, because you don’t have to wait at sea for the wind to pick up again.

One of the great things about catamarans is their size. They are often more spacious than other types of boats and it won’t feel like you are in a tiny cabin on board a boat when going to sleep at night, but it will feel more like a comfortable room on board a hotel on water.

One of the most popular catamarans to rent in the British Virgin Islands is Catamaran Leopard 45 which comes with a spacious kitchen and dining area.
