How to Get to the British Virgin Islands

Boatbookings shares insights into traveling to and from the BVI.

Nanny Cay Marina, British Virgin Islands

Renting a luxury crewed charter yacht in the British Virgin Islands is the best way to see all the region has to offer. You will begin in Tortola, where you will embark on a BVI crewed catamaran, BVI crewed power catamaran, or BVI motor yacht for a 7-day BVI cruising itinerary. From over twenty years of planning bespoke experiences in the BVI, Boatbookings has found that there are two ways to get to Tortola, both of which are simple and can be easily arranged beforehand.


During your holiday to the British Virgin Islands, you can either fly directly into the Terrance B. Lettsome airport on Tortola or fly into the Cyril E. King airport on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Should you choose to fly into St. Thomas, you would then take a ferry or private water taxi to Tortola.

Ferries typically have a set pickup and drop-off location and schedule, with tickets that can be purchased through individual companies in advance. We recommend using Road Town Fast Ferry, Native Son Inc. Ferries, or Smith Ferries. Ferry tickets are also typically the cheaper option.

Alternatively, you can rent a private water taxi, which allows you to choose your pickup and drop-off location. The customs process is relatively quicker, and you can customize your experience with drinks depending on the company you use. We recommend using Island Time BVI, Chillout Charters, or The Last Mile Water Taxi.


However you choose to get to Tortola, the charter experts at Boatbookings are here to hold your hand every step of the way. Contact our team, and they will recommend the best travel plan for you!

Boatbookings’ Superyacht of the Week | SEAWOLF X

M/Y SEAWOLF X – Rossinavi

The Boatbookings Superyacht of the Week series returns for 2026 with a yacht that represents the future of luxury chartering. This week’s spotlight is on SEAWOLF X, a cutting-edge 40 metre hybrid-electric catamaran from Italian shipyard Rossinavi that rethinks what modern yachting can be. Delivered in 2024, she blends technology, sustainable design, and spectacular living spaces, offering an unmatched charter experience aboard a truly contemporary vessel.


One of SEAWOLF X’s most striking aspects is her hybrid-electric propulsion system. This dramatically reduces noise and emissions, entering a near-silent mode at anchor. It creates an entirely different onboard ambience, so you can keep the music low while just hearing the sounds of the sea as you watch the sun set at cocktail hour!  

M/Y SEAWOLF X – Dining Room

The 100 m² lounge and dining area offers an exceptional social space, awash in natural light and finished with bespoke pieces by Silverlining, Frank Pollaro and Linley. The result feels more like a private luxury residence. This focus on unique design enhances each time spent onboard.

SEAWOLF X features gym equipment, spa and sauna facilities, which is an excellent way to unwind after a lunch stop filled with adrenaline, whether you are flying underwater with the Cudajet underwater jetpacks or over the water on the Jet ski or Efoil.

M/Y SEAWOLF X – Sundowner Spot

Perfectly suited to summer cruising between Sardinia’s stunning bays and Sicily’s charming anchorages, SEAWOLF X offers a refined charter experience. Cruising from the Costa Smeralda to Taormina or the Aeolian Islands, guests can enjoy both vibrant waterfront culture and untouched marine scenery aboard a yacht that epitomizes the future of luxury at sea.

Snorkeling in Salt Whistle Bay

On your 7-day yacht charter itinerary through St. Vincent and the Grenadines, you can fully immerse yourself in the laidback lifestyle of the Caribbean.

On Petit St. Vincent, nature takes center stage. There are little to no crowds on this privately owned island, where guided hikes take you beneath a canopy of tropical trees to lookout points with panoramic views of the region. Hidden coves with glassy waters and vibrant corals invite you to play in the shallows, testing water toys such as E-Foils, SeaBobs, and Subwings.
