The Best Time to Book Your Holiday Charters in the BVI

Boatbookings shares the best time to secure a holiday charter in the British Virgin Islands.

The British Virgin Islands have long been one of the world’s most coveted destinations for holiday yacht charters. Spend Christmas Day gliding across glassy bays on Virgin Gorda, before toasting the New Year at Foxy’s iconic celebration on Jost Van Dyke. For families or friends, there is no better way to experience the festive season than on a luxury crewed catamaran or motor yacht in the BVI.


Plan Ahead for the Ultimate Holiday Charter in the BVI

Holiday charters in the Virgin Islands are secured well in advance, with the most sought-after crew and yachts often fully booked even as far as a year out.  With limited availability for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, we strongly recommend booking your charters early. This ensures you are matched with the exact yacht you desire and a longstanding crew defined by their seamless service.  

Once your yacht and crew are in place, allow your dedicated team and Boatbookings take over the holiday cooking, planning, and provisioning. This gives you the freedom to explore top BVI attractions like the white sand beaches of Anegada with your loved ones.  


For over 20 years, the travel experts at Boatbookings have sailed these waters, gaining insight into the most memorable itineraries and exclusive anchorages. Our firsthand experience allows us to curate a charter experience personalized to your tastes. Contact our team to receive a bespoke proposal and bring your holiday dreams to life.

BVI Yachts Our Crew Can’t Stop Recommending: Daniel’s Pick

The Boatbookings Picks series features Daniel’s top luxury crewed catamaran in the British Virgin Islands.

Luxury Power Catamaran, CEST LA VIE

The Lagoon Sixty7 power catamaran, CEST LA VIE, takes her place among the BVI’s finest luxury crewed catamarans. Daniel appreciated her exceptional crew, refined spaces, and an unmistakable sense of opulence. Personally inspected at the annual BVI Yacht Show, she promises an unparalleled experience through the British Virgin Islands.


Luxury in Motion

A galley-down design maximizes space in the saloon and on the foredeck, creating an elegant setting to spend time with family over the course of your 7-day Virgin Islands itinerary. Daniel found that movement was effortless from the aft deck all the way to the bow, where teak decking remains cool underfoot and soft to the touch. A large master cabin invites guests into the highest standard of luxury, where plush bedding offers a dreamy place to rest before the next day’s adventures.

BVI Yachts Our Crew Can’t Stop Recommending: Patrick’s Pick

As part of our Boatbookings Picks series, our team is excited to share Patrick’s favorite boat from the 2025 BVI Yacht Show.

ENDLESS SUMMER III sailing in the BVI

While many yachts stood out at the 2025 BVI Yacht Show, Boatbookings team member Patrick found that ENDLESS SUMMER III’s sustainable practices, impressive water toys, and well-established crew raised the bar to the next level. The annual show allows the Boatbookings team to personally evaluate each catamaran. In assessing layouts, crew chemistry, and cuisine, we can ensure each recommendation is backed by firsthand experience. Chartering a luxury crewed catamaran through the British Virgin Islands is an unrivaled experience. From feeling your toes sink into white-sand beaches on Anegada to uncovering hidden corals at the Wreck of the Rhone, the BVI has something for everybody.

Light fills every corner of ENDLESS SUMMER III. Look out through the panoramic windows to famous anchorages like The Baths on Virgin Gorda. What immediately stood out to Patrick was her flybridge, which welcomes you with cushions that hug you as you drift off into an afternoon nap. Wake feeling rested and ready to paddle around the protected coves of Cooper Island. End your days with a leisurely al fresco dinner on the aft deck, where the smell of fresh lime from the ceviche fills the air and hand-selected wine fills your glass.

Eco-Friendly Features

With renewable energy systems and thoughtfully sourced materials, ENDLESS SUMMER III ensures eco-conscious yacht chartering, so you can sail the BVI for many years to come.

Reach out to Patrick, who is more than ready to help you begin planning your next holiday on ENDLESS SUMMER III.

Days Made for the Water

E-Foiling in the BVI

When you find the perfect bay where the water is so still it looks like glass, and the only sound is the splash of water as you dive off the bow, explore the area on an E-Foil. Secluded coves like Benures Bay provide the perfect atmosphere to see how far you can go before somersaulting back into the water. For a slower start to your day, grab a mat and block for sunrise yoga on the deck. The fresh air and morning stretches will set the tone for an unhurried day ahead.


Partnering with Boatbookings guarantees expert guidance on the best anchorages in the BVI. Through our own time sailing the BVI and meticulously cultivated research, we found the most rewarding hiking trails on Norman Island and the best restaurants on Anegada for fresh-caught lobster. We look forward to working with you to create your own personalized itinerary on the yacht of your dreams. Feeling inspired to create your next escape? Contact our experts for a proposal.
