Chartering a crewed catamaran, crewed power catamaran, or crewed motor yacht in the British Virgin Islands is the ultimate way to experience thrilling water sports in style. Slip into secluded coves on a paddleboard, dive the legendary Wreck of the Rhone, or slice through the glassy waters of Great Harbour on a pair of skis. With your private yacht’s full selection of luxury water toys, every day will be a new adventure.

Thanks to innovative technology, the market for water toys on a BVI yacht charter has grown exponentially. Each boat is now fitted with an expanded selection of cutting-edge gear to explore the crystal clear waters of Virgin Gorda. From classics like kayaks and paddleboards, to the latest E-foils and SeaBobs, our selection of private yachts offers state-of-the-art craft that transform your time in the water.

At Boatbookings, we are always finding new ways to elevate your BVI charter experience. Our own time sailing the turquoise waters of the BVI has revealed the joy of E-foiling! Recently, company founder Tom chartered on the Bali 5.4 luxury crewed catamaran, LOCATION 5.4, and tried the yacht’s E-foil. This beginner-friendly, yet exhilarating water toy had Tom up and gliding effortlessly across the smooth waters around Sandy Spit in no time, making for an unforgettable day.

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.
