You might’ve had some grand, world-exploring plans that had to be scrapped due to the global pandemic, or maybe you were just expecting to get away for a week, only to cancel when the trip was just a short time away. No matter what 2020 held for your vacationing plans, one thing has become increasingly clear over the last couple of months: the BVI will be the place to spend Spring 2021. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve been trying to book a yacht charter vacation this year, you’ve probably had a difficult time of it. Whether you endured cancellations in the spring and early summer, the uncertainty of fall bookings, or the limited availability of yachts this winter, you likely encountered some measure of difficulty in trying to plan the ideal vacation. But for those of you looking ahead, Spring 2021 is looking promising for yacht charters in the BVI and now is the time to book.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The September to early November window is the perfect time to plan and book BVI catamaran charters for the spring, giving you the maximum number of options needed to create the perfect vacation. With so many boats planning to emerge in the Spring, we’re expecting the BVI to be an even more exciting place to be than usual. That being said, because the BVI will be opening busier than it has in an entire year, make sure you reach out to start planning as soon as possible. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As experienced BVI catamaran charter brokers, we at Regency work hard to build the perfect vacation tailored to fit your vacationing goals. Are you interested in a fast-paced, sporty charter full of activities, hopping from one adventure to the next? We can make that happen. Perhaps you’re looking for something high-end, focused on relaxation and luxury and having every need attended to aboard an exclusive yacht? There are several boats sailing the BVI that certainly fit the bill. However, to some of you, both options might seem equally appealing, which might make you feel like there isn’t a boat out there that really meets all of your goals. You need something truly outstanding to give you the vacation of your dreams, something so unique, opulent, and riveting that your experience onboard will be completely unforgettable. Well, we have more good news for you. Our brokers have recently gained access to one of the most exquisite catamarans on this side of the world: Gracious. </span></p> <h2><b>Gracious: One of the Most Exclusive BVI Catamaran Charters</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-7996 size-medium" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-636x426.jpg 636w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Back-of-Gracious-scaled-1-600x401.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Even in an industry as full of luxury as the yacht charter industry, Gracious stands out as what is certainly one of the finest BVI catamaran experiences available for charter. In fact, we are one of only 3 companies that have rights to book charters on this sleek, modern vessel, ensuring that you’ll be among the fortunate few who have enjoyed the countless comforts offered on board. We recommend planning a trip aboard Gracious as early as possible, as she is only available during certain seasons and her schedule fills up much faster than the average yacht.</span></p> <h2><b>What Gracious Has to Offer</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Sunreef 60 was launched in 2020 with the most discerning clientele in mind. From bow to stern, no expense was spared in creating what is certainly one of the finest catamarans sailing in the Western Hemisphere. As an owner’s model offered only occasionally for charter, she offers pure luxury down to the finest detail in an expansive design built to maximize onboard space. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gracious comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 unique staterooms, one of which is a massive custom-designed master king suite. As a custom owner’s model, Gracious’ master suite was built with incredible attention to detail, featuring a sleek design that practically defines</span></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7997 size-medium" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-300x200.jpg" alt="Spacious Cabin" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-636x426.jpg 636w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Cabin-scaled-1-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><span style="font-weight: 400;">modern luxury. In addition to tasteful and precise styling, the king stateroom also features such amenities as a sizable ensuite bathroom, a walk-in shower, and large, sunny windows.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Outside of your quarters, you can enjoy the finer things in the main salon, which truly must be seen to be believed. It features a gorgeous backlit bar stocked with premium liquors and wines, a state-of-the-art Sonos speaker system, USB charging stations for your devices, and a pop-up 55’ TV. For a more understated setting, the comfortable and open aft deck lounge offers a perfect place for alfresco dining and relaxation, giving you and your group an excellent place to spend your evenings chatting and sipping cocktails. If you find yourself wanting to enjoy the warmth and sunlight of the BVI, Gracious also features an expanded top deck, ensuring that you and your group have plenty of space for lounging. </span></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-8000 size-medium" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-300x200.jpg" alt="Sunreef 60 Gracious" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-636x426.jpg 636w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Side-of-Gracious-scaled-1-600x401.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Should you grow tired of lounging in comfort, Gracious offers an incredible array of water toys, even by yacht charter standards! If you want to enjoy high-speed watersports, like wakeboarding or waterskiing, Gracious comes equipped with a sporty 14’ tender with a powerful 75hp motor. If something slower-paced and more relaxing seems like the order of the day, there are also 2 SeaBobs, paddleboards, and a floating sun cushion. Your crew can even set you up with the onboard fishing supplies if you feel like catching your dinner.</span></p> <h2><b>Meet the Crew</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s fitting that a catamaran as amazing as Gracious has an amazing crew to match! Gracious is attended by the enthusiastic pair, Captain Andrew and Chef Michaela, who understand the ins-and-outs of hospitality and adventure in equal parts. These two bring warmth and spontaneity to the world of high-end yacht charters, all while maintaining a level of world-class service that is exceptional even within their field.

These two love nothing more than sharing their love for sailing, exploring, and adventuring with guests. As a U.S. Sailing Certified Instructor, Andrew is a master of his trade. He’s incredibly well-versed in all things nautical, having spent years as a teacher and sailor himself before becoming a charter captain. Michaela is a Virgin Islands native and professionally-trained chef who is well-known for her creative and sumptuous cuisine. She crafts her meals using local, fresh ingredients as frequently as possible, ensuring that every meal you eat on board is nothing less than world class. This charter team is joined by a third crew member to make sure operations run smoothly.</span></p> <h2><b>Your Yacht Charter Experts</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With how much stress and uncertainty the last year has held, getting away for a while aboard your own private yacht charter is the perfect way to recover and prepare for the year ahead.

Summer has come and gone, seemingly flying by, and because of the number of cancelled Spring and Summer vacations, the typically slower Fall yacht chartering season has garnered far more attention than usual. Winter charters are booking quickly in locations all over the world, with crews preparing for a busy few months between December and April. While there are still some available boats for winter yacht vacations, it’s now the time of year to start thinking about spring bookings if you want to enjoy the absolute best of the <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/">BVI</a>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to booking yacht vacations, a good rule of thumb is to contact your broker 6-8 months ahead of time for a normal vacation, or 10-14 months ahead of time for peak seasons, like Christmas, New Year’s, or Spring Break. While we can certainly help you put together a yacht charter in less time, booking this far ahead all but guarantees that you’ll check every single box off of your vacation wishlist. As the year goes on, interest in spring bookings is expected to increase to a higher level than usual, so preparing sooner rather than later is the way to go. </span></p> <h2><b>Booking Yacht Vacations in the Spring</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-8330 size-medium" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-636x636.jpg 636w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-306x306.jpg 306w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gambit_IG_Image03-1-scaled-1-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />There are few places on earth as beautiful as the <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/">BVI</a> and <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/">USVI</a> in the springtime. From the vibrant Bougainvilleas in full bloom to the constant sunshine with temperatures hovering throughout the 70’s to pristine blue waters, these islands are a veritable cornucopia of natural beauty. Sailing the <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/">BVI</a> can feel like exploring an untouched world, with numerous uninhabited islands along your sailing route just waiting to be explored. The captains and crews that call the Virgin Islands their home tend to know the region like the back of their hand, so if you’d like to stop off and explore an island, they’ll always know just the place. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to the<a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/"> Virgin Island’s</a> perfect climate and natural beauty, spring yacht vacations are quite popular for another reason: leaving the dreary winter season behind. Especially this upcoming year, which will have been marked by the previous year’s stress, countless canceled plans, and other difficulties of all kinds, spring vacation has never looked or felt more like a necessity. Spring 2021 is shaping up to be the best time to leave the trials of 2020 behind you, looking ahead to the possibilities of the next year. Numerous studies have proven that taking even an occasional getaway is remarkably beneficial for one’s physical and mental health, and there’s absolutely no better way to completely unplug from the world, rest, and recover than from the comfort and seclusion of a private yacht.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On conventional vacations, you’re always surrounded by people to some degree, and you still have to make plans as you go, like where to eat dinner or which outing to spend your day on. For some people (especially parents!), going on vacation is every bit as stressful as everyday life. <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/">Yacht vacations</a> free you from every cause of stress, even if you’re bringing your kids. From the moment you set foot onboard, you will be taken care of by an attentive crew who is dedicated to keeping you completely comfortable. You decide on a menu and itinerary well before boarding the boat, ensuring that your vacation goes exactly as planned. But that doesn’t mean that there’s no room for spontaneity! During the planning process, we can build a degree of flexibility into your itinerary that will allow you to choose your adventure depending on how you feel on any given day. Want to stop off to sunbath on that isolated beach? No problem! Interested in spending your afternoon snorkeling? Your crew will make it happen. So whether you prefer a highly-structured vacation built to fit your tastes or you just want a high seas adventure and whatever it entails, our <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/">Expert Brokers</a> can find the charter yacht and crew for you.</span></p> <h2><b>BVI Boats for Spring 2021</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/">BVI</a> is home to an incredible quantity and variety of different boats and crews, perhaps even so many that the options can seem overwhelming. While 2 yachts may share similar price points and amenities, they may have incredibly different specializations, with one being centered on relaxation and the other on fast-paced adventure. When you plan your charter with an established brokerage, like Regency, we can help you distill the endless list of boats into just the ones that fit your vacation style. Here are just a few of the best yachts we have available for charter this spring in the<a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/"> BVI</a>:</span></p> <h3><b>Ultra</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5733 alignleft" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/main-1-300x216.jpg" alt="ultra" width="300" height="216" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/main-1-300x216.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/main-1-768x553.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/main-1-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/main-1-600x432.jpg 600w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/main-1.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Considered by many connoisseurs to be one of the most luxurious catamarans currently sailing the <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi-2/">BVI</a>, Ultra offers an unmatched combination of space, performance, and comfort.

If you have set your sights on a summer vacation with family or friends, it is not too early to book. Like birds migrate, so do many charter yachts. Some go to the Mediterranean but the Caribbean boats head south in July. This leaves fewer quality boat crews in the Virgin Islands. The talented team on </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Xenia 62 </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">are one of many who are heading to the Grenadines.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Captain Matt is a RYA/MCA Yachtmaster 200 ton, a sailing instructor and rescue diver. His sailing background locations include Australia, Italy and the UK before leading 15 boat flotillas in the BVI in 2011. After pairing up with Tara (clearly the better half) life changed. The food was so much better! A qualified chef, Tara trained for 2 years in a top culinary college – City and Guilds in the UK, followed by 10 more years working in high end English palate pleasers. A PADIi Divemaster and videographer, Tara crafted this fun video “Tales of Down Island”.

Like anything you might plan in advance, the more time you have available, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for. <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/chartering-a-yacht/types-of-charter-yachts/catamaran/">Catamaran charters in the BVI</a> are no different. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best parts of a <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi/">BVI yacht charter</a> is the fact that they are completely customized to fit your definition of “the perfect vacation,” so the earlier you plan, the closer you come to that ideal vacation, completely free of compromises. If you want to enjoy a fresh-caught seafood dinner prepared by a world-class chef aboard your own private yacht near the pristine shores of Virgin Gorda while the sun sets over tranquil waters, you can. If you want to explore the renowned reefs of The Indians in the early morning and spend the afternoon waterskiing, the option is completely available. If you want to explore the many cultures and islands of the Virgin Islands, sampling multiple international cuisines along the way, you absolutely can. What’s more, you can actually do all of these things on one yacht vacation, provided you plan in a timely manner. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Regency Yacht Vacations, we pride ourselves on creating the perfect vacation for any taste. Our Expert Brokers have personal relationships with yacht crews and captains throughout the USVI, Caribbean, and BVI, giving us the experience and insider information needed to help you create the vacation of your dreams. Whether you’re planning a Christmas vacation for 10 of your family members or a low-key couples trip in the off-season, we can help you plan a vacation to fit your unique vision. We offer a wide array of different boats and crews to fit your style!</span></p> <h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6664 alignright" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Cat-ELYSIUM-Flybridge.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="315" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Cat-ELYSIUM-Flybridge.jpg 500w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Cat-ELYSIUM-Flybridge-300x189.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Catamaran Charters BVI and Beyond</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/chartering-a-yacht/types-of-charter-yachts/catamaran/">catamaran</a> is perhaps the most popular style of charter yacht available. Catamarans come in many different shapes and sizes, from massive power cats designed for ultimate luxury to classic sailing catamarans that are perfect for <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/destinations/bvi/">exploring the BVI’s countless islets</a>. At Regency Yacht Vacations, we work with a wide variety of different catamarans and crews, so we can better provide our clients with the options needed to create a vacation that is all their own. Though the catamarans and crews we work with are all very different, they all share a common goal: to provide the best possible vacation for whoever is onboard. This emphasis on creating a flawless vacation environment is unique to charter yachts, as the crew is constantly focused solely on creating the perfect vacation for you, making for a truly unforgettable experience. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The key to creating the perfect catamaran charter vacation is in the planning process. Planning a trip too late might mean that many of the yachts you are most interested in are booked for your chosen dates. If you’re looking to book a yacht at peak times, such as Christmas break or Spring break, this becomes especially true.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help you get a better chance at booking your ideal vacation, our Expert Brokers recommend that you contact us to start planning your trip no less than 6 months in advance. During peak times or if you have a larger group (8 people or more), you should consider booking up to a year in advance. While trips can be planned in less time, you will have a far better selection of yachts at better price points if you book within our recommended time frames.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter when you are booking, having a bit of flexibility on schedule will help you considerably. <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/chartering-a-yacht/types-of-charter-yachts/catamaran/">Catamaran charters</a> generally operate on somewhat fixed schedules, meaning that if you are only available to board on a single weekend, the yacht you want to charter might be a good distance away, near a less accessible island. The more flexible your schedule is, the better your chances are of getting aboard the catamaran you are most interested in. </span></p> <h3>Choose the Perfect Catamaran for Your Vacation Style</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Regency Yacht Vacations, we work hard to provide yachts and crews for every vacationing style. Our planning process is designed to help you get the absolute most out of your charter experience, from the moment you step on board to the time you disembark, freeing you to completely enjoy your time aboard. We aspire to create experiences that can be reminisced upon years in the future, to give you the variety of options needed to create exactly what you want from your vacation, no compromises needed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As we said above, we work with many unique crews and catamarans, and each of these excel in their own way. Some of the catamaran charters include Better Days, Santa Ana, and Slivochka.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://yachtfleet.com/yachts/better-days/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-1833" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/White-House_Image02.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="342" /></a><a href="https://yachtfleet.com/yachts/better-days/">Better Days</a> is well-renowned Lagoon 50 that calls the Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands her home. This fabulous catamaran is equipped with 3 comfortable queen cabins, perfect for 3 couples, and equipment for scuba diving if you are certified. Better Days is crewed by the impressively experienced Chef and First Mate Margaret and Captain Taylor. Taylor is a certified dive master who knows the BVI hotspots well.

Gentle waves, the distant call of seafaring birds, the sound of wind dancing through the sails? Imagine for a moment how that might feel. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you wake, you might hop out of your comfortable bed before heading above deck to enjoy the caress of the morning breeze. You take deep breath and notice the smell of fresh coffee wafting through the air.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On board an<a href="https://yachtfleet.com/chartering-a-yacht/types-of-charter-yachts/monohull/"> inclusive sailing charter</a>, this is an example of how every day can begin, and as the day passes, you will only enjoy countless more moments, ranging from exquisite meals to daily expeditions to hidden beaches to handcrafted cocktails. <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/experiences-matchmaking/">How and what you enjoy while aboard is completely up to you! </a></span></p> <h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4358" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail.jpg 1406w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail-300x200.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail-768x513.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail-636x426.jpg 636w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Blue-Passion-under-sail-600x401.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Chart Your Own Course Aboard a Private Sailing Charter</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In contrast to fast-and-sporty power yachts,<a href="https://yachtfleet.com/chartering-a-yacht/types-of-charter-yachts/monohull/"> sailing yachts</a> tend to offer up a slightly more laid-back atmosphere where relaxation is king. But for many of you, relaxation doesn’t simply mean lounging the days away. For the more active vacationers, sailing charters typically offer a wide variety of exciting activities, from water sports to scuba diving to deep sea fishing. Figuring out which sailing yacht and crew match your vacation style is a critical part of planning your ideal vacation, which is why chartering with an expert broker is so important. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Regency Yacht Vacations, we have a <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/about-us/">deep knowledge of the yacht charter industry</a> and close relationships with many captains and crews all across the world. Beyond our deep understanding of charter yachts and crew relationships, we help you explore the wide variety of options that we put at your disposal. Looking for a ship and captain that can keep you completely off the grid for a week or more? Done. Do you want a captain who knows and can drop you off at the finest nightlife hotspots in the BVI? Not a problem. Are you looking for a yacht that can take your entire family to experience new cultures? We can help you find it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best aspects of a sailing charter is having the ability and freedom to choose exactly what you want to do. Whether you want a meticulously planned vacation to ensure that you get to do everything you might want, a carefree jaunt with little in the way of planning, or something in between, we can help you figure out how to plan your perfect trip. No matter your vacation style, there are sailing charters, BVI and beyond, available to fit your unique style. </span></p> <h3>An Always-Enjoyable Vacation</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that we’ve gone over the true flexibility of a sailing charter as well as a few different possibilities while on board, you may be wondering what is really in store for you after you plan your charter. While the specifics vary wildly from person to person, one outcome is true across the board: you will enjoy one of the most memorable experiences of your life. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A charter isn’t just about enjoying the luxuries of a private yacht for a week or more, it’s about <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/experiences-matchmaking/honeymoon-charters/">celebrating new love or rekindling romance</a>. It’s about <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/experiences-matchmaking/family-charters/">growing closer as friends or family</a>. It’s about <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/experiences-matchmaking/charter-with-friends/">creating a shared experience that you and your party of two, four, or seventeen</a> will be able to cherish for your entire lives. Sailing charters create an opportunity for togetherness that can be hard to attain when everyone is going their own separate way by encouraging everyone on board to slow down, enjoy a meal together, and simply spend quality time with each other. This begs the question, what should you do with your quality time?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the answer to this question is very much up to you and is a major part of what we’ll go over in the planning process, available activities will vary from boat to boat, especially if you’re on a sailing charter. We work hard to gauge your interests in the planning phase, figuring out exactly what you want to do on your vacation, then providing you with all your available options, allowing you to choose what seems ideal to you. </span></p> <h3>A Wide-Variety of Different Boats</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sailing charter yachts as widely varied as you can imagine, coming in an incredible array of shapes, sizes, and price points. Some are basically a floating island, complete with amazingly well-equipped bars and bartenders to match, while others are more traditionally-styled and adventure-ready. Here are just a few of the different boats we have available for charter throughout the BVI, Grenadines, Caribbean, and Leeward Islands. </span></p> <p><b><a href="https://yachtfleet.com/yachts/quest/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-6250" src="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/quest-main.jpg" alt="" width="304" height="200" srcset="https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/quest-main.jpg 1265w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/quest-main-300x197.jpg 300w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/quest-main-768x505.jpg 768w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/quest-main-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https://yachtfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/quest-main-600x394.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px" /></a>Quest</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Often described as “both the journey and the destination,” <a href="https://yachtfleet.com/yachts/quest/">Quest</a> is a classic sailing catamaran that offers loads of charm and opportunity for adventure.

In today’s world, charter clients and owners are looking for comfort, elegance, and practicality in one pretty package. French catamaran builder Lagoon has a design team focuses on how people live while on board, utilizing clean simple lines, light woodwork with lots of ports to keep cabins bright and airy, and all the tech you could ask for.</p> <p>From the earlier Lagoon 450 sailing cat with three guest cabins plus crew cabin, to the new Lagoon Seventy Eight sailing and power cats, there is a yacht to suit a range of budgets and group size. These are well built ocean going yachts that have traveled from France to the Mediterranean Sea, across the Atlantic to the Caribbean and Bahamas and even out to the Pacific.</p> <p>Some of our favorite Lagoons that are available this winter in the Caribbean are:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/3455/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gypsy Princess</a> – this Lagoon 450 has a new mast, boom and sails along with other updates that’s to last year’s hurricanes. Captain Biff and partner, Chef Amy are an English couple with great joie de vivre and <a href="https://youtu.be/0e9HE0m-huA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">playful sense of humor</a>. They make sure guests (up to 6) have a chance to see and do everything on their list when visiting the BVI.</p> <p>New to the charter fleet, <a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/5858/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lagoon 52 Joy</a> offers a bit more elbow room with a master suite plus two guest cabins and French crew who have sailed all over the world. Patrice and Pascale charter Joy from St. Marten, perfect for the short sail over to St. Barths or Anguilla.</p> <p>Or try <a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/5495/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gambit</a>, the Lagoon 51 with three queen cabins plus a 4th cabin with bunk beds – a layout popular with family charter groups. And you won’t find a better crew than South Africans Doug and Val who raised their children on board boats until they became empty nesters. Now they sail Gambit throughout the Caribbean, entertaining guests with Doug’s sea stories and Val’s delicious menus.</p> <p>When you reach the Lagoon 620s, you are talking about large upper flybridge decks, spacious cabins in a variety of layouts, and full amenities plus water sports. Check out the differences between new charter luxury Essence line of Lagoons, <a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/5248/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bagheera</a> and <a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/5621/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Callista</a>. And take a peek here at the <a href="https://youtu.be/bbv80V6uuKQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crew of Foxy Lady</a> who will be adding scuba diving to their activity list this winter.</p> <p>Top of the line is the 2018 Seventy8 line of power and sailing cats.

Prices are higher, but guests delight in comfort with every detail thought out – and lots of the toys too! We love working with the power cat <a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/5632/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Double Down</a> who chartered after her launch in Croatia this summer and will cross the Atlantic to charter in the Caribbean this winter. Due to be launched at the end of 2018 is the sailing <a href="http://www.cyabrochure.com/eb/1073/xyrdX/5856/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">77’ Tell Star</a>, the culmination of this owner’s wish list garnered from his previous yachts. Team Jack and Jaimey keep the pace relaxed while making sure it looks effortless.</p> <p>Whatever your size, price or group, consider a Lagoon for your next charter through Regency.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
