“Kristen, we cannot thank you enough for all of the help. Your help was greatly appreciated, we could have never put this together without you. Your attention to detail and carrying me through the red tape was extraordinarily beneficial. Booking a trip like this would normally be a huge hassle and quite scary. You made the whole process easy, and we felt truly comfortable knowing that we had been taken care of. Hopefully, we can continue the relationship and book another trip again. Best trip ever for all of us. Thank You!”
“Hi Kathleen, we had a fabulous trip on Allure with Lisa and Rich! We were so excited to charter with them again as they are so wonderful with sailing, service, drinks, amazing food, activities etc. We loved the boat, especially the upper deck sitting area. All the activities were great. Craig and the kids got to do a dive which was incredible and on the last day of snorkeling the kids saw a juvenile bull shark which was certainly a highlight. We were so happy to be back in the BVIs and will definitely return. We are sad that Lisa and Rich are retiring but happy for them as they embark on their next adventure.
You guys were wonderful to work with and we so appreciated the guidance on taxi service with Island Time. Such a smooth transition both ways! 😊”
“Everything about our trip was perfect! I don’t think I can choose one highlight as it was all amazing. We all loved the great snorkeling with so many beautiful fish, stingrays, turtles, starfish, a seahorse, and even a sunken ship. The bubbly pool was so much fun and we did an awesome hike with beautiful views. Jost Van Dyke and the Soggy Dollar bar were fun and we enjoyed dinner in St John one night.
Captain Josh and First Mate Meg were the best, so nice, helpful, and a lot of fun! Meg served the most delicious food beautifully presented and the table was decorated so pretty at every meal. Josh was so helpful with everything and made the best painkillers! The boat was amazing, all of our rooms were so comfortable, and all areas of the boat so clean and comfortable. Josh and Meg arranged our transportation to and from the airport and met us with a great welcome and champagne. We all gave them the highest marks and would recommend them to anyone.
You did a great job for us, Kathleen, finding the best options for us and advising us on everything we needed to know. Thanks so much!”
Once you’ve chosen your desired yacht, contact us to confirm availability for your preferred dates. You may also reach out, and we’ll present suitable options based on your inquiry.
A 50% deposit is required to reserve the yacht, with exceptions for bookings made more than a year in advance.
Reservations are confirmed only upon receipt of the deposit and a signed Charter Reservation and Charter Agreement.
Deposit payment methods include USD personal or certified checks drawn from a US bank, bank wire transfers, or credit card payments (up to $25,000) with a signed authorization form.
Weekly charter rates vary widely depending on the yacht size, destination, season, and level of luxury. Crewed yacht charters typically range from $18,000 to over $140,000+ per week, plus other expenses. Your broker will help you understand total costs and match you with the best yacht for your budget.
Yachts operating in other locations may charge a base rate plus all expenses.
Guests pay an APA for all expenses such as food, beverage, fuel, flowers, etc., in addition to the base rate.
An Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically 25-35% of the base rate, covers the yacht’s running expenses like dockage, fuel, water, ice, beverages, food, and more.
The APA is paid with the final installment to allow the crew to prepare for the charter.
Included beverages vary by yacht and charter type. Most yachts provide a selection of house wines, beers, spirits, soft drinks, and mixers. Premium brands, champagne, or extraordinary bar and wine specialty requests can often be arranged in advance at an additional cost. It is recommended to speak with your broker about this in more detail.
Charters offer much more than sailing. Activities often include snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, seabobbing, tubing, water skiing, and beach exploration.
Your crew will also guide you to scenic anchorages, beach clubs, and ports of call.
A crew member may hold SCUBA instructor or Dive Master certification, offering the opportunity for SCUBA diving excursions during your trip.
A crew member may be a sailing or water sports instructor offering a new set of skills to acquire during your time on board.
The itinerary is customized around your interests and the region’s highlights.
During an all-inclusive charter, you’ll typically have two to four crew members: the Captain and the Chef/Steward (ess) and possibly a First Mate and Stewardess.
Regency Yacht Vacations primarily use MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) or CYBA (Charter Yacht Brokers Association) contracts, depending on the cruising region.
These contracts cover various aspects, including cancellations, yacht’s weekly rate, where to embark and disembark, the dates of the charter, usage of water toys, and expected conduct of charter clients among other important charter details.
They strictly prohibit drug use and prioritize safety, granting the captain the authority to make final decisions for the safety of the yacht, crew, and guests.
Clauses typically outline maximum guest capacity, procedures for equipment breakdowns, and recommended insurance coverage.
BVI Yacht Charter Services Based in the British Virgin Islands
A BVI yacht charter offers one of the most reliable and rewarding sailing experiences in the Caribbean. The British Virgin Islands are known for calm waters, short sailing distances, and well-developed marina infrastructure, making the destination ideal for luxury yacht charters, especially crewed yachts.
Yacht Fleet operates directly from the British Virgin Islands, with local knowledge, on-the-ground support, and long-standing relationships with yacht owners and crews. Having an office in the BVI allows Yacht Fleet to manage charters with accuracy, responsiveness, and firsthand insight into the region.
Why the British Virgin Islands Are Ideal for Yacht Charters
The British Virgin Islands consist of over 60 islands and cays, many within short sailing range of each other. This geography makes the BVI one of the easiest and safest places in the world for yacht charters.
Key advantages of a BVI yacht charter include protected sailing conditions, short passages between islands, line-of-sight navigation, reliable marinas and anchorages, consistent trade winds, and warm water throughout the year.
These factors make the BVI especially attractive for luxury crewed yacht charters, where comfort, reliability, and flexibility matter.
Crewed Yacht Charters in the BVI
A crewed yacht charter in the BVI includes a professional captain and crew who manage navigation, meals, and onboard service. This allows guests to focus on relaxation and exploration rather than logistics.
Crewed yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands typically include a licensed captain with local experience, professional crew service, custom itineraries based on guest preferences, access to popular and secluded anchorages, and consistent safety standards.
Yacht Fleet specializes in luxury crewed yacht charters, working directly with experienced crews who operate regularly in BVI waters.
BVI Yacht Charter Itineraries and Destinations
A well-planned BVI yacht charter itinerary balances well-known destinations with quieter anchorages. Short sailing distances allow itineraries to remain flexible and adaptable.
Common stops on a BVI yacht charter include Tortola as the primary charter base, Virgin Gorda and The Baths, Jost Van Dyke, Norman Island, and Anegada. Local knowledge plays an important role in timing these destinations effectively.
Yacht Fleet’s Local Presence in the BVI
Yacht Fleet’s office presence in the British Virgin Islands provides a clear advantage when planning a BVI yacht charter. Operating locally allows coordination with real-time awareness of conditions, marina availability, and crew schedules.
This local presence supports accurate yacht availability, direct communication with captains and crews, faster response to itinerary changes, and consistent guest support before and during the charter.
Cost of a BVI Yacht Charter
The cost of a BVI yacht charter depends on yacht size, season, duration, and crew level. Luxury crewed yacht charters are typically booked on a weekly basis.
Charter pricing usually includes use of the yacht, onboard amenities, and professional crew services. Additional expenses often include fuel, food, dockage, and gratuities, which are commonly handled through an Advance Provisioning Allowance.
Yacht Fleet works with clients to set clear expectations around pricing and inclusions prior to confirming a BVI yacht charter.
Best Time to Book a BVI Yacht Charter
The BVI yacht charter season runs year-round, with peak demand during the winter months. December through April is the most popular period due to stable weather conditions.
Off-season months often provide greater availability, more itinerary flexibility, and lower charter rates. Local insight helps determine the best timing based on travel goals and yacht preferences.
Choosing a BVI Yacht Charter Company
Selecting the right yacht charter company has a direct impact on the experience. A strong BVI yacht charter provider combines destination expertise, reliable inventory, and professional coordination.
Important factors include local presence in the British Virgin Islands, experience with crewed yacht charters, transparent pricing, and established relationships with yacht crews.
Yacht Fleet’s BVI-based operations and focus on luxury crewed yachts position the company as a reliable option for travelers planning a BVI yacht charter.
Planning Your BVI Yacht Charter
A successful BVI yacht charter begins with clear planning. Guests should consider group size, yacht style, itinerary preferences, and onboard service expectations.
With direct operations in the British Virgin Islands, Yacht Fleet supports clients through yacht selection, itinerary planning, and charter coordination to ensure a smooth and well-managed BVI yacht charter experience.
