The food? Fabulous! We will all remember our Yacht Charter in the BVI, the good time we had and we will recommend your company to our friends!

Introduction to BVI Catamaran Charters

When it comes to luxury vacations, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a destination that should be at the top of your list. Do not confuse the BVI with US Virgin Islands (USVI). What better way to explore the stunning beauty of this Caribbean paradise than by embarking on BVI catamaran charters ? With crystal-clear turquoise waters, pristine white sandy beaches, and a warm tropical breeze, the BVI offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable vacation. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a fun-filled trip with friends, choosing one of the BVI catamaran charters is the ultimate way to experience luxury and freedom on the open seas.

Why Choose a Catamaran for Your BVI Vacation?

Choosing a catamaran for your BVI vacation offers a multitude of benefits that make it an ideal choice for all types of travelers. Unlike traditional monohull sailboats, catamarans provide exceptional stability and spaciousness, ensuring a comfortable and smooth sailing experience.

The wide beam of a catamaran offers plenty of room for relaxation, entertainment, and socializing, both indoors and outdoors. With multiple cabins and ensuite bathrooms, everyone on board can enjoy privacy and comfort. The shallow draft of a catamaran also allows you to explore shallow anchorages and secluded coves that monohulls cannot access. In addition, catamarans are equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, such as air conditioning, water toys, and entertainment systems, to enhance your onboard experience.

We have many catamarans in our fleet, take a look at our featured luxury yachts .

Benefits of BVI Catamaran Charters

Opting for one of the BVI catamaran charters comes with a host of benefits that will elevate your vacation to new heights of luxury and indulgence. One of the greatest advantages of a catamaran charter is the freedom and flexibility it offers. You have the ability to customize your itinerary, choosing the destinations and activities that suit your preferences. Whether you want to spend your days snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, basking in the sun on secluded beaches, or exploring charming island towns, the choice is yours.

Another benefit of BVI catamaran charters is the personalized service provided by a professional crew. From a skilled captain to a talented chef, the crew is dedicated to ensuring your every need is met, allowing you to relax and enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Furthermore, catamarans provide ample space for socializing and entertaining, making them perfect for hosting special occasions or intimate gatherings with loved ones.

Types of Catamarans Available for Charter in the BVI

When it comes to choosing a catamaran for your BVI yacht charter, you’ll be spoiled for choice with a wide range of options to suit your preferences and budget. From sleek and modern designs to classic and luxurious styles, catamarans come in various sizes and configurations.

The number of cabins and ensuite bathrooms can vary, accommodating anywhere from two to twelve guests. Depending on your sailing experience and desire for a fully crewed or self-skippered adventure, you can select a crewed catamaran charter or bareboat charter. Some catamarans even feature additional amenities such as jacuzzis, water slides, and onboard gyms, for those seeking the ultimate extravagance.

With the help of our Vacation Consultant, you can find the perfect catamaran that meets all your requirements and ensures a memorable vacation on one of our BVI yacht charters.

Planning Your BVI Catamaran Charter Vacation

Before setting sail on one of the BVI catamaran charters, careful planning and preparation are essential to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Begin by determining the duration of your charter and the number of guests who will be joining you. Consider the time of year you plan to visit, as the BVI has a tropical climate with a high season and a hurricane season.

Consult with our charter broker to help you navigate the options and find the best deal. Once you’ve chosen your catamaran and crew, create an itinerary that highlights the must-visit destinations and experiences you wish to have during your charter. Remember to take into account the preferences and interests of your fellow travelers to ensure a well-rounded and enjoyable vacation for everyone.

Weather and Climate in the BVI

The weather and climate in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are undeniably a major draw for those embarking on a BVI catamaran charter adventure. The BVI enjoys a tropical maritime climate, making it a year-round destination for sailors and sun-seekers alike.

The high season, which extends from December to April, offers near-perfect conditions with warm temperatures, clear skies, and calm seas. During these months, you can expect gentle trade winds that provide ideal sailing conditions. It’s the perfect time to explore the stunning beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and vibrant island culture.

The shoulder seasons of spring and fall bring a slightly increased chance of rain and variable wind patterns, but they also offer a quieter and more budget-friendly experience for those seeking a more intimate connection with the islands. While the summer months from June to November constitute hurricane season, it’s best to avoid booking during this time due to the higher risk of inclement weather.

Overall, the BVI’s climate caters to the desires of both seasoned sailors and first-time charters, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable catamaran charter experience.

Must-Visit Destinations in the BVI

The BVI is renowned for its breathtaking beauty and diverse range of destinations that cater to all types of travelers. One of the must-visit spots is The Baths in Virgin Gorda, a unique natural wonder featuring giant granite boulders that form picturesque grottos and pools. The island of Jost Van Dyke is famous for its lively beach bars, such as the iconic Soggy Dollar Bar and Foxy’s, where you can indulge in refreshing cocktails and immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture.

For those seeking tranquility and seclusion, the island of Anegada is a hidden gem with its pristine beaches and abundant marine life. Tortola, the largest island in the BVI, offers a mix of stunning beaches, historical sites, and vibrant local markets. Exploring the lesser-known islands of Norman Island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island will reward you with secluded anchorages, excellent snorkeling, and unspoiled natural beauty.

Activities and Experiences During Your BVI Catamaran Charter

All of the BVI catamaran charters open up a world of exciting activities and experiences that will create lasting memories. Snorkeling enthusiasts can explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful tropical fish, while scuba divers can dive deeper to discover hidden underwater treasures. The BVI is also a paradise for water sports lovers, with opportunities for paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, and jet skiing. For a taste of local culture, visit the famous beach bars and restaurants scattered throughout the islands, where you can savor delicious Caribbean cuisine and enjoy live music and entertainment.

Take the chance to witness stunning sunsets from the deck of your catamaran, as the BVI is renowned for its breathtaking golden-hour vistas. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a blend of both, BVI catamaran charters offers endless possibilities to suit all preferences.

Tips for a Successful BVI Catamaran Charter Vacation

To ensure a successful and enjoyable BVI catamaran charter vacation, it’s important to keep a few tips in mind. Firstly, pack light and bring only essential items, as storage space on a catamaran may be limited. Remember to bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat to protect yourself from the Caribbean sun.

Familiarize yourself with basic sailing terms and safety procedures, especially if you’re opting for a bareboat charter. Communicate your preferences and dietary restrictions to the crew in advance so they can tailor the menu and provisions to your needs. Lastly, be mindful of the local customs and environmental regulations, such as avoiding the use of single-use plastics and respecting marine life and coral reefs.

Eco-Friendly Sailing in the BVI:

Sustainability is increasingly important, and the  BVI  is committed to preserving its natural beauty. As a responsible visitor, here are some steps you can take to minimize your environmental impact:

• Reduce Single-Use Plastics:

Bring reusable water bottles, containers, and bags to minimize single-use plastic waste. Many establishments in the BVI are also taking steps to reduce plastic use.

• Waste Management:

Dispose of trash properly at designated facilities in marinas and harbors. Avoid throwing waste overboard, and be aware of the local recycling guidelines.

• Respect Marine Life:

Do not touch or disturb marine life while snorkeling or diving. Keep a safe distance from coral reefs and avoid standing on them.

• Use Eco-Friendly Sunscreen:

Some sunscreens contain harmful chemicals that can harm coral reefs. Choose reef-friendly sunscreen options to protect both yourself and the underwater ecosystem.

• Limit Anchoring Impact:

Be mindful of anchoring to prevent damage to coral reefs and seafloor ecosystems. Use mooring buoys where available.

• Conserve Water and Energy:

Catamarans often have limited water and energy resources. Use them wisely to reduce your environmental footprint.

• Support Sustainable Initiatives:

Look for businesses and BVI catamaran charters that are committed to sustainable practices. Supporting such initiatives contributes to the preservation of the BVI’s natural beauty.

After your first breakfast at sea, stop for a snorkel at either the caves or The Indians before heading east to Cooper Island. Consider exploring Wreck of the Rhone or one of the other snorkel spots off Salt Island on your way to Cooper. Manchioneel Bay and Cooper Island Beach Club (opening April 1st!) are big time fan favorites and there is good snorkeling at both ends of the bay. Lots of barracuda, tarpon, turtles, conch and stingray make this a fun place to explore.

Night 4 - Virgin Gorda, Leverick Bay

Get an early start from Cooper and head to Fallen Jerusalem for a quick snorkel before you stop at The Baths. The Baths are a must do and a great spot to enjoy lunch while resting on a mooring ball. If you have time, stop at Great Dog for an amazing snorkel on the west side of the island; not an overnight spot but there are three national park mooring balls and it is beautiful. Continue on to North Sound and head to Leverick Bay Resort and Marina. They have a great restaurant, a pool, water at the dock (closes at 5pm) and a well-stocked market so you can re-provision. This is a great stop half way through your charter, allowing you to re-provision.

Night 5 - Anegada

This will be an absolute highlight of your trip. The sail to Anegada is one of the best of the trip and well worth the effort. Leaving North Sound by 8:30am or 9am will put you on a mooring ball at Anegada by lunchtime and ready for an afternoon exploring the island. Go ashore and take a taxi or rent a scooter and head to Cow Wreck Beach and see Ann at Cow Wreck Beach Bar. This place may actually be heaven! Dinner Tip - Figure out where you are eating before you go to the beach and place your order for dinner as they need it in advance.

Night 6 - Great Harbour, Jost van Dyke

Sailing from Anegada to Jost van Dyke will almost undoubtedly be the best sail of your trip. The wind is almost always perfect and the seas will be in your favor. If you have fishing gear and a license this is also a great opportunity to catch something you can actually eat like a tuna, wahoo or dorado. Leave on the early side so you can make stop along the way; possibilities include White Bay on Guana Island, Sandy Cay or The Bubbly Pool. Alternatively, head directly to White Bay on JVD and spend the afternoon at Soggy Dollar Bar, Hendo's Hideout, Coco Loco or Ivan's Stress free Bar before grabbing a mooring ball in Great Harbour for your visit to the legendary Foxy's.

Night 7 - Peter Island / Cooper Island / Norman Island

It's your last night at sea so pick your poison as each of these islands will enable you to get back to the base on time in the morning. It is about a 45 minute trip from either Cooper or Peter and about an hour and fifteen minutes from Norman.

There are countless other "favorite spots" and it's impossible to see them all in one visit - but that will keep you coming back each year for more!.

The Ultimate 7 Day BVI Itinerary

Planning a BVI Catamaran Charter?

Planning a trip to the British Virgin Islands? Hit all the highlights with this ultimate 7 day BVI itinerary for a trip unlike any other!

For this epic trip, we did a BVI Catamaran Charter onboard a PowerCat 443 from MarineMax Vacations . The PowerCat 443 has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms! This was a perfect size for three couples allowing us plenty of privacy and plenty of room to play at the same time.

Because of our boating experience, we were able to do a bareboat charter, meaning we captained our own catamaran. If you do not feel comfortable driving the boat yourself, a captain is available for an extra charge. Heck, you can even hire a private chef if you want to!

Below you will find all the details for our 7 Day BVI Itinerary which included the famous Willy T, Soggy Dollar Bar, Foxy’s, Scrub Island, The Baths, The Bitter End Yacht Club, and a special dinner at Saba Rock!

ICYMI—> Even more details of our trip can be found in my BVI highlight on my Instagram profile- see all our pictures, get more info, and for a good laugh see me jump off the Willy T!

BVI Day 1: Travel Day

• Flight to St Thomas
• Lunch at the Ferry Terminal
• Native Son Ferry to Tortola 
• Customs in Road Town Tortola, Taxi to Nanny Cay
• Arrive at MarineMax at Nanny Cay
• Dinner at Peg Legs at Nanny Cay (MarineMax Marina)
• Sleep aboard at Nanny Cay

We ordered provisions ahead of time from Bobby’s Supermarket on Tortola. Our groceries were ready and waiting for us when we arrived! There is a small supermarket and two restaurants at the MarineMax marina which was super helpful for last minute items and meals. There are also showers and changing rooms available to charter guests if you need another option besides the boat bathrooms. MarineMax has rooms available for rent if you do not choose to do a sleep aboard your first night. While the sleep aboard option is more expensive, it was nice to only have to unpack once and to have that extra time to get familiar with the boat before leaving the marina.

How do you get around the BVI’s when you do a BVI sailing charter ? Once you have hooked up to a mooring ball in the harbor of your destination, most catamaran charters come with a dinghy! Then take your dinghy to shore or tie up to a nearby dinghy dock.

Pro Tip : Consider booking private round trip transportation to and from the British Virgin Islands. While it may seem extremely expensive, it actually comes out around the same amount of money and saves you a ton of time!

BVI Day 2: Norman Island

• MarineMax catamaran orientation
• Leave from Nanny Cay (MarineMax)
• Moored at Norman Island
• Played at Willy T
• Lunch at Willy T
• Played and swam by the boat for the remainder of the afternoon
• Dinner at Pirate’s Bight

What is the Willy T ? The Willy T is a pirate ship and bar off of Norman Island. Not only do they have a dingy dock but space for larger boats to tie up as well.

What do you do at the Willy T? Well…you eat, drink, and jump! Although there are signs posted stating “No Jumping Allowed”, it is what everyone does. Young, old, doesn’t matter. You go to the Willy T, you jump! So we did. LOL.

Should I take my kids to the Willy T ? Well…that depends. At one point during our time at the Willy T, I would say No, absolutely not. It was a wild crowd that I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking my kids to. But they only stayed about an hour and after they left, it was a much more chill crowd, with kids! So, if you plan to take your kids to the Willy T, just know ahead of time, you may to have a plan B or come back another time.

Pro Tip : Need a plan B? Norman Island is also the perfect spot for swimming, snorkeling, exploring caves, and hiking!

BVI Day 3: Jost Van Dyke

• Leave from Norman Island 
• Moored at Great Harbor off Jost Van Dyke
• Lunch onboard the boat
• Played at Foxy’s and Soggy Dollar Bar
• Dinner at Foxy’s

Soggy Dollar Bar is one of the most famous beach bars in the world! Soggy Dollar Bar got it’s name because people could only get there from the water, therefore arriving with soggy dollars in their pockets. They’re famous for a drink called a painkiller which consists of rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, cream of coconut, with grated nutmeg on top! Soggy Dollar has to be included on any BVI itineray!

Pro Tip : There is no dinghy dock at Soggy Dollar Bar. You either have to ride the waves onto the beach OR you can take a taxi from Foxy’s across the island to Soggy Dollar Bar. Either way you’re sure to have a great time! Also, if you need lunch options, there is supposedly a fabulous pizza place near Soggy Dollar Bar. Hendo’s Hideout is another great option.

BVI Day 4: Scrub Island

• Leave from Jost Van Dyke
• Moored at Marina Cay 
• Played at Scrub Island 
• Lunch at Scrub Island
• Moved on to overnight mooring in the Bitter End Yacht Club Mooring Field 
• Dinner at Bitter End Yacht Club

Pro Tip : Call ahead of time to make sure you are able to get a day pass for Scrub Island – they initially told us day passes were unavailable, however they made some available when we mentioned we were 20 year Marriott Bonvoy members.

 (Our original plan for Day 4 on our BVI Itinerary was to go to Anegada Island- unfortunately due to high winds and rough seas we had to go with Plan B above- which turned out to be epic as well!)

Wellness Reminder: This 7 Day BVI itinerary is jam packed full of fun! Gentle reminder to hydrate, reapply that sunscreen, and take some time to slow down. Scrub Island is the perfect spot for a little rest and relaxation.

BVI Day 5: Virgin Gorda

• Moored at Bitter End Yacht Club
• Ferry from BEYC to Gun Creek
• Taxi to The Baths with Tiger Taxi (Set up by the concierge at BEYC)
• Lunch at The Baths
• Played at The Baths National Park on Virgin Gorda
• Dinner at Saba Rock 

I have to say Day 5 during our BVI catamaran charter was my favorite day. The Baths National Park are an absolute must for any BVI itinerary. We absolutely loved seeing a bit of Virgin Gorda by land in a fun open air taxi. And if we went back and wanted to stay at a resort, I would stay at The Bitter End Yacht Club in a heartbeat!

Pro Tip : There are options to anchor off of the Bath’s instead of taking a taxi across the island, however there is only the option to tie your dinghy up to a floating line and then swim the rest of the way into The Bath’s. If you are not a strong swimmer, I would not recommend this option as the current can be quite strong.

BVI Day 6: Cooper Island

• Leave from BEYC/ Virgin Gorda 
• Moored at Nanny Cay/ Marine Max
• Lunch on board the boat
• Played at Cooper Island 
• Return to MarineMax at Nanny Cay
• Dinner at Peg Legs 

Our original plan was to stay overnight at Cooper Island. There is a fun rum bar, brewery, and restaurant on Cooper Island. However, when we went ashore around 1pm that day, they informed us they did not have any dinner reservations available and did not take walk ins. We then planned to go back to Norman Island to finish up our week with one more trip to the Willy T. Sadly, we had some mechanical issues on our way to Norman Island which ended with a MarineMax engineer coming out and bringing us back into the marina. All in all, it was fine, we were all safe and happy!

BVI Day 7: Travel Day

• Private boat service ( Johnny’s Maritime Services ) from Nanny Cay to BVI Customs in Soper’s Hole to USVI customs in Cruz Bay in St John to St Thomas 
• Flight home 

This was the perfect BVI itinerary for an adult/ couples vacation. You could also easily do this same BVI itinerary in reverse. There’s no reason one is better than the other. There are plenty of family friendly options and things to do with kids as well. This was pretty much the coolest vacation we’ve ever been on- I highly recommend adding it to your bucket list !

Be sure to grab my quick and easy adventure captions or vacation captions to share your BVI trip on Insta too!

BVI Quick Tips & Things to Know Before You Go:

• Food is very expensive on the islands and service is slow- just prepare to be on “island time”.
• We ate breakfast on the boat each day.
• Make dinner reservations for each night or you may not get in! (We tried making reservations around lunchtime on Day 6 at Cooper Island and were turned away because they were full!)
• Make sure to have some cash handy if you don’t end up getting a BoatyBall…someone will come by each day to collect a mooring fee. You will also likely have someone come by to collect trash for a small cash fee each day. ( BoatyBall is a service where you can reserve a mooring ball each morning- but trust us, balls go quick!)
• Always have a Plan B in case your original plan doesn’t work out! 
• Something will likely go wrong- just go in knowing that!
• Give yourself extra time on your travel days! (Apparently Saturdays are the busiest day for leaving the BVIs.)
