Boatbookings shares insights into diving in the British Virgin Islands.

Diving in the British Virgin Islands guarantees wonder and insight into the exceptional underwater world this archipelago has to offer. Your week onboard a luxury crewed catamaran, crewed power catamaran, or crewed motor yacht places you directly in the heart of some of the top dive sites in the Caribbean. With many of our private yachts offering onboard diving, you can explore vibrant reefs alongside sea turtles or discover how nature preserved a piece of history, turning it into a complex ecosystem of playful fish and brightly colored corals.

As one of the main diving attractions in the BVI, The Wreck of the Rhone lies just 24 meters below the surface and is a great beginner’s dive. Here you will explore a Royal Mail Ship that sank over a century ago and became a hub for marine life. Witness the way eels meander through the wreck or how corals have grown over the ship’s structure, preserving it for decades.

If you have booked a yacht that does not include gear or tanks, you can simply reserve a rendezvous dive in which a dive master will meet you at your desired site with everything you need to slip below the surface. This is a fantastic way to hit every point on your diving bucket list, including The Indians and Shark Alley!

Boatbookings is thrilled to share our 20 years of experience to help curate your perfect 7-day BVI itinerary. Through first-hand experience, we have discovered the BVI’s top restaurants, most exclusive anchorages, and top dive sites. Our charter experts look forward to working with you to dream up your next charter in the BVI. Enquire today!

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.
