BVI and Peter Island Yacht Charters
Chartering a yacht allows you to reach secluded areas within the privacy of your friends and family, adding something extra special and exclusive to the trip! If you want to sail, but prefer the comfort and space of a motor yacht, then check out our luxury crewed catamarans. For an itinerary of the spectacular sailing available to you, see what incredible destinations are on offer.
Peter Island Resort is built on two bays, Sprats Bay, which is the Resort's harbour, and Deadman's Bay, where the Resort has built a beach bar and restaurant that is more welcoming to charterers.
If you're lucky, you might be able to catch sight of Sea Turtles in Deadman's Bay, who tend to live in the seagrass. If you keep an eye on the water you will soon see a greenish-brown shell surfacing, and then sticking its head up for a breath. As turtles are rarely in a hurry, you can dive in and follow them around the bay. Many also have a remora (suckerfish) attached to them, picking up any scraps the turtle doesn't care for.
Sailing the BVI is about the freedom of island hopping and taking advantage of the fantastic diving areas and vibrant beach bars. Nearly all charters start and end in Tortola, as that is where all the key marinas and provisioning stores are located. Virgin Gorda also rises steeply from the sea with a volcanic peak of 410 metres and is known for its beaches, villas, resorts and "the Baths", a key attraction in the BVI. The locals are welcoming and cheerful, to match the warm and inviting atmosphere of Peter Island.
Other anchorages and beaches on Peter Island include Little Harbour and Great Harbour on the North side of the island, and Key Bay and White Bay, which is named for its long, white sandy beach on the South side of Peter Island.
