Visiting the British Virgin Islands means direct flights into St. Thomas from a number of major US airport hubs and easy private jetport options and then a short ferry or water taxi ride into the BVIs.

The Virgin Islands has the largest number of charter yachts to choose from in both size and style. Inclusive pricing and the best values compared to any other location make the VIs the most popular charter destination .

The  35 mile island chain of British Virgin Islands has options — from busy harbors to quiet out of the way spots but always with clear blue Caribbean sea. Plus lots of calm tranquil anchorages!

Tropical Paradise Found!

Tortola, BVI   2020

 Chartering a BVI yacht gives you the freedom to forget the stresses of modern life.         Board your charter yacht at Nanny Cay Marina just a mini sail to a choice of several overnight anchorages. Lunch, sail, snorkel, happy hour, dinner – you will effortlessly glide into the quality of a tailormade liveaboard vacation . Circumnavigate Tortola with a crew to familiarize you with the secret hideaways and popular hotspots around the BVI. Anegada, North Sound – the millionaire’s playground – and the Baths for the scenic beauty. Jost Van Dyke is a must with White Bay being home to aqua waters and the Soggy Dollar Bar (because you must swim ashore) or the famous Foxy’s in Great Harbour.

Leave your watch and phone in your cabin for your swim ashore only to realize three days later you never even thought to pull them out again! 

Bagheera is a big spacious beauty of a cat.  4 queen cabins make this a perfect fit for either a group of 8 adults or a family. The crew of 3 believe in having fun and in the motto “he who has the most toys” wins. It is a registered fishing vessel but also has a whole host of other equipment for a fun-filled charter. 

Explore the Stunning Virgin Islands

Travelers diverge as they make their choices – there is no set itinerary. Depending on where you start and whether the tradewinds are slightly north of east or slightly south, you could start with the southern route heading to the outer islands of Norman, Peter, Cooper, or Salt. If you sail up the north shore you may choose Cane Garden Bay, Sandy Spit, or Camenoe. Still to explore are Trellis Bay, Virgin Gorda, and onto Anegada. With more than 60 small islands and bays, you may return again and again to visit old favorites and explore new hideaways.

Elysium , a majestic Privilege 615 cat, has three cabins, each with an ensuite to define comfort afloat. Attention to detail and elegant woodwork are the hallmark of this yacht. Elysium caters for the fun-loving and adventurous, with vibrant crew, Matt and Tara, who have more than ten years’ experience at the helm. With a collective wealth of knowledge of watersports, food, and exploring, they look forward to welcoming you on board!

A Distinctive Destination  – Yacht Charter BVI

Islands strung like a necklace curve over 35 miles from St. Thomas, USVI  in the west  into the British Virgin Islands ending at Anegada. The eastern tip of the British Virgin Islands join the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. Nature’s bounty has gifted the Virgin Islands with islands to shelter the sailor from large ocean swells and provide numerous options for calm harbors, white sand beaches and reefs that can be easily spotted in the bright tropical sun.

            Start at Trellis Bay, Beef Island Airport in the heart of the island chain and head north to Anegada, after a stop at North Sound, to find deserted swathes of empty beaches. Leave your signature footprints in the sand. Dine and dance barefoot under the stars, it is all part of your unique experience of the outer islands.

       Paddle boarding, snorkeling, or scuba diving are all optional activities from your floating vacation in the Virgins. Perfect for sailing, never out of sight of land with your next stop just a short distance away, the Virgins define easy living.

This Lagoon 62 has 4 queen cabins, lounging areas and a fly bridge with a wine fridge. 3 crew enjoy regular rave reviews for both delectable cuisine and lots of energetic watersports activity. Silver service, sailing and the sea will help you de-stress, relax and recharge. 

• The Virgin Islands has the largest number of yachts to choose from and because competition is keen the rates are the best value. Plus this is the only location with inclusive rates — yacht, crew, food, beverages (house brands) and water sports equipment are all included.
• The  BVI is a short flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico as well as offering easy private jet options.
• The British Virgin Islands give clients the widest range of itineraries from busy harbors to quiet, out-of-the-way spots.

Yacht Charter in British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands yacht charter

The British Virgin Islands is dubbed as the "sailing capital of the world." With no direct flights from the US or any part of the world, the only way to get to the islands is either via a ferry or a private yacht charter. This means the area creates a perfect balance of small tourist numbers and luxury services. With sheltered waters and islands near to each other, the best way to enjoy the British Virgin Islands is on a luxury yacht charter.

Why charter a yacht in British Virgin Islands?

BVI is short for the British Virgin Islands, and it's regarded as one of the best sailing destinations in the world. With luxury resorts and plenty of islands to explore, chartering a yacht is a no-brainer if you plan on a holiday in this region. There are 60 islands, islets, and cays in the BVI, most of them being uninhabited with no structures taller than the tallest palm trees. With snorkeling, diving, swimming, and a wide array of water sports activities, the region is the perfect island getaway in the Caribbean.

What are yacht charter prices in British Virgin Islands?

With the BVI being a luxury destination, superyachts are a popular option for tourists. Yacht charters for a week are pretty much common, with yacht charter prices being offered on a weekly basis. A yacht below 150 feet can range from $15,000 to $70,o00 per week, while a yacht over 150 feet can range from $100,000 to $200,000 per week. Large groups of visitors can take advantage of all-inclusive prices, including food, water sports equipment, private chefs, and VIP services. A 282-foot superyacht for 12 people can cost around $450,000 for a week's rental in British Virgin Islands.

When is the yachting season in British Virgin Islands?

British Virgin Islands has a tropical rainforest climate moderated by trade winds. Hurricane season is between June to November, which means the months of November to July is the peak yachting season in the islands.

British Virgin Islands yacht charter for a day

If you only have a full-day for a yacht charter, then the island of Virgin Gorda is a must-activity for a full-day yacht charter. It is home to The Baths, the most popular natural attraction in the British Virgin Islands. The Baths are characterized by large boulders that create natural pools and stunning grottos, with beautiful blue crystal waters that are perfect for swimming. You can then have lunch at the top of the Baths restaurant, where stunning views are yours to behold. Head out to Spanish Town and Leverick Bay, which have quaint local villages with many shops and restaurants, before heading back to your yacht and returning to the marina in Tortola to end your yacht charter for a day in BVI.

British Virgin Islands yacht charter overnight

A BVI overnight yacht charter allows you to moor on a bay and explore several destinations and water sports activities. You can start your overnight yacht charter at Cooper Island, which is home to the Cooper Island Beach Club's eco-resort. Anchor on a bay and enjoy swimming by the boat, snorkeling, jet-skiing, or diving, then head over to the resort where you can have your lunch or afternoon snacks. The island is close to a diving paradise called "wreck alley," where divers get to explore shipwrecks underwater.

Get back to the Bay and enjoy craft beer, enjoy a sunset, then head back on board to stay in your cabin for the night. In the morning, head to Deadman's Bay in Peter Island, where you can have breakfast at the islands' private resort's beach bar and restaurant. Cruise your way to Salt Island nearby, and explore the salt ponds, or take a historic walk. Dive enthusiasts can also visit the Wreck of the Rhone, which sank in 1867. Head back to Tortola at sunset and enjoy your last hour onboard an overnight yacht charter.

British Virgin Islands yacht charter for a week

A week-long liveaboard on the BVI blends the best of both worlds: secluded islands with no development in sight, beautiful anchorages, and laid back villages with beachside bars. Here is a sample itinerary for your week-long yacht charter itinerary in the British Virgin Islands:

Day 1: Virgin Gorda Island

A definite must in your BVI holiday, the Virgin Gorda Island is home to The Baths, but also a great island to explore on foot. Stock up on supplies at the local market, enjoy the local produce and delicacies, buy some souvenirs, and then head out to the North Sound, an excellent overnight anchorage.

Day 2 and 3: Anegada Island

This beautiful island is a charter favorite. It is sparsely populated and rural, and only 11 miles long, as well as low and flat, unique in the BVI. The BVI islands are volcanic but not Anegada, which sits on a coral reef, making it a unique spot in the region. Visit the Caribbean-style shops and restaurants, enjoy snorkeling and swimming at the beaches, and visit the salt ponds, teeming with birdlife and the famous pink Caribbean flamingos. Enjoy two days on this island, which is perfect for hours or lazing around on the beach and experiencing local culture.

Day 4: Trellis Bay

Head over to Trellis Bay with its excellent local vibe and vibrant market. If you're visiting on a full moon, the Bay is famous for its full moon beach parties.

Day 5: Jost Van Dyke

Jost Van Dyke is another famous BVI destination, famous for its rural and rugged scenery, but also for its vibrant beachside bars.

Day 6: Normal Island

The famous Indians and Caves are great for exploration. The Caves are renowned for being the inspiration behind the novel Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson. Anchor at The Bight, which is a famous overnight anchorage. Spend breakfast over the waters, enjoy a couple of hours of water sports activities, then head back to Tortola to end your week-long liveaboard on your private yacht charter.

Wedding yacht charter in British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands provide a magical setting for an intimate and unforgettable wedding. A wedding yacht charter allows you to head to a private, secluded beach, where you can exchange vows at sunrise or sunset, then get back on the boat for a few hours of cruising while celebrating your union with family and friends. Celebrate your wedding in style for a yacht charter for a wedding, creating the ultimate dream come true when it comes to a tropical wedding destination of your dreams.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Sailing Vacations with the personal attention you deserve

British Virgin Islands

THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, locally known as NATURE’S LITTLE SECRETS, are easily the best sailing destination in the Caribbean , arguably one of the best in the world. Our beautiful country is made up of over 60 islands and cays, mostly unspoiled. With fabulous white sand beaches, plentiful marine life, crystal clear waters and a relaxed island vibe. From the spectacular boulders of Virgin Gorda, the white powdery beaches of Jost Van Dyke along with the diversity and seclusion of the other sister islands, the BVI truly does offer something for everyone.

British Virgin Islands Yacht Charters

All inclusive luxury crewed yacht charters in the bvi.

Welcome: What could be better than having the luxury of exploring the pristine waters and bays of the BVI while being looked after by an experienced crew who will take care of your every need, aboard your own private crewed charter yacht. 

Whether you want to learn a little about sailing, indulge in some watersports, experience the low key but lively bars and restaurants dotted around the coast, try your hand at Scuba diving or simply relax and enjoy the peace of the idyllic islands while being cooked and catered for?

The British Virgin Islands are a rare paradise; they are largely unspoilt, and there are hundreds of quiet little coves to explore. If you want a beach to yourself you can certainly find one here!

Likewise, if you want to experience some of the local culture there is plenty to keep everyone entertained, and the more lively beaches such as Cane Garden Bay provide local music, crafts, restaurants and lively bars for those who want to try the famous rum punches and other local cocktails.

A crewed yacht charter means no stress of sailing or navigating, great food cooked for you, and setting your own pace in the privacy of your very own charter yacht. Depending on the size of the boat, the length of the vacation and the number of crew required, organizing your own private charter can actually be less expensive than joining a cruise ship – where you would have to share the boat with hundreds of others!

Selecting the Perfect Yacht for Your British Virgin Islands Vacation

Choosing the right yacht for your trip can make a world of difference, and there are five key factors you’ll need to consider to ensure you’re selecting the perfect vessel for your British Virgin Islands vacation.

• First, consider the size of the yacht. If you’re traveling with a large group, you’ll need a larger yacht to accommodate everyone comfortably.
• Secondly, consider the amenities you want. Some yachts come with luxury features like hot tubs, premium dining facilities and water toys.
• Thirdly, think about the itinerary. BVI charters offer a variety of routes, and the yacht you choose should be capable of handling your planned journey.
• Fourthly, consider the level of service you desire. Canvas Yacht Charters offers fully crewed yachts, where all your needs are taken care of.
• Lastly, consider your budget. Yacht rentals vary in price, so make sure to select a yacht that fits within your financial plan. By considering these five factors, you’ll be able to select the perfect yacht for your British Virgin Islands yacht vacation.

Best Times to Sail in the British Virgin Islands

You’re probably wondering when’s the best time to set sail in the British Virgin Islands, and it’s crucial to know that the ideal sailing conditions often occur between December and April. During these months, you’ll experience steady trade winds, calm seas, and warm temperatures ranging from 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, don’t dismiss the rest of the year. May to November can also offer good sailing, with slightly higher temperatures and a bit more rain. It’s less crowded, so you’ll enjoy more privacy and potentially better deals on yacht charters.

But be wary of the Atlantic hurricane season , running from June to November. Although hurricanes aren’t a daily occurrence, they can disrupt plans. So, if you’re risk-averse, stick to the December-April window.

Remember, it’s not just about the weather. Consider what you want from your trip. If you’re seeking vibrant nightlife and events, time your visit with the annual BVI Spring Regatta in March or the Full Moon parties at Bomba’s Shack.

Essential Travel Tips for the British Virgin Islands

Armed with knowledge about the best times to visit, let’s now delve into some crucial travel tips for the British Virgin Islands, ensuring you’re well prepared for your yacht charter adventure.

• Consider your budget. The British Virgin Islands aren’t exactly cheap. Plan accordingly to ensure you can enjoy all the offerings without straining your wallet.
• Pack smart! Lightweight clothing is a must due to the tropical climate. Don’t forget your swimwear, sunblock, and a hat. Importantly, pack a waterproof camera to capture the sublime underwater life.
• Keep in mind that the official currency is the U.S. dollar. Most places accept credit cards, but it’s wise to have some cash on hand.

Respect local customs and traditions. Islanders appreciate it when visitors take the time to understand their way of life.

Finally, remember that you’re in the tropics, so stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and protect yourself from the sun.

Now, you’re a step closer to a smooth sailing experience in the British Virgin Islands. Take these tips to heart, and you’ll be on your way to an unforgettable yachting adventure.

Exploring the Top Destinations in the British Virgin Islands

With your bags packed and tips in hand, it’s time for you to set sail and explore the top destinations in the British Virgin Islands, where pristine beaches and vibrant marine life await. Your first stop should be Tortola, the largest island. Here, you’ll find Road Town, a harbor city brimming with Caribbean culture. Don’t forget to visit the Callwood Rum Distillery to get a taste of local flavors.

Next, head over to Virgin Gorda, renowned for The Baths, a geological wonder consisting of massive granite boulders. Here, you can swim in the unique tidal pools or explore the hidden caves. The island is also home to Gorda Peak National Park, a tropical forest with panoramic views.

Your adventure doesn’t stop there. Sail over to Anegada, the only coral island in the island group. It’s a paradise for snorkelers and divers with its vibrant coral reefs. Also, don’t miss the famous Flamingo Pond.

A Guide to Local Customs and Etiquette

Before you immerse yourself in the rich Caribbean culture of the British Virgin Islands, it’s crucial that you become familiar with some of the local customs and etiquette to ensure you’re respectful of the islanders’ traditions and way of life.

Firstly, greetings are important here. It’s customary to say ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’, or ‘good night’ before starting a conversation. Don’t forget to maintain a friendly demeanor and eye contact. Island time is a real thing in the BVI – locals tend to operate at a relaxed pace, so patience is key.

Dressing appropriately is another aspect to be mindful of. While beachwear is acceptable on the sand, it’s seen as disrespectful to wear skimpy outfits in public places or religious sites.

Food and drink are at the heart of BVI culture. If invited to a local’s home, it’s polite to bring a gift. When dining out, tipping is customary, usually around 15% of the bill.

Lastly, the BVI is environmentally conscious, so ensure you respect their commitment to preserve their beautiful islands. Follow these customs and you’ll not only have an enjoyable visit but also earn the respect of the friendly islanders.

Must-Try Local Cuisine in the British Virgin Islands

You can’t visit the British Virgin Islands without indulging in the local cuisine, and there’s a wealth of dishes you’ll want to try. Known for its rich, hearty flavors, BVI cuisine reflects its culturally diverse history with a unique blend of African, European, and Indian influences.

Begin your gastronomic journey with a hearty bowl of fish and fungi, a local staple. The ‘fungi’ is a cornmeal dish somewhat like American grits, served with a delectable fish stew. For something lighter, try the conch fritters. These delicious deep-fried snacks are made from conch, a type of shellfish renowned for its tender texture and sweet taste.

Of course, you can’t leave without tasting the national dish, Anegada lobster. Freshly caught and grilled to perfection, its succulent meat is a must-try for seafood lovers. Finally, wash it all down with a glass of the famous Painkiller cocktail. This tropical mix of rum, coconut cream, orange and pineapple juice, topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg, is the perfect way to end a meal.

So, there you have it – a comprehensive guide to your dream yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands. From selecting your perfect yacht to savoring local cuisine and respecting island customs, you’re now prepared for an unforgettable voyage. Remember, safety first and fully embrace the local culture. Your adventure is waiting. Now, it’s time to turn this dream into reality. Happy sailing!

BEAUTIFUL NEW BOATS, IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE, AND FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF

Virgin Islands Yacht Charters directly manages the charter fleet.  We are not a broker.  We do work with many reputable and trustworthy charter brokers who regularly book our boats and are familiar with our procedures and knowledgeable of the local cruising grounds.  At the same time, there are many brokers out there who know absolutely nothing about our fleet OR even the Virgin Islands themselves.  Please be aware. 

Catamarans are wonderfully spacious and provide ample area for moving around.  Whether it is in the cockpit or salon which spans over both hulls allowing for a larger area inside, the foredeck with the trampoline  for sun-tanning, or the great lounging area on the top deck you will enjoy the variety of ways to spend your day on the water.  Cats are much more stable than their counterparts which can be much better for new or inexperienced sailors who haven't quite found their sea legs yet or those who are prone to seasickness.   Two engines allow for greater maneuverability when in a marina or picking up mooring balls and thus, have gained popularity in recent years.  And, you will love the panoramic views!

What People Are Saying . . .

The Osborn Family

VIYC was one of the best charter companies we've used. They keep their word and honor their promises. They promptly fix stuff and immediately talk us through solvable problems. They know the boat, the waters, and sailing area, the culture.

Scuby's operations briefing was one of the best I've attended in my years of chartering.  

                                                                                                                                       ~Fred Osborn

I had the pleasure of chartering a yacht from Virgin Islands Yacht Charters out of Compass Point, St Thomas.  I have chartered numerous yachts over the years; as well as operated by own charter sailing yacht for five years.  Kristi and Jim, the owners, do an outstanding job of assuring the yacht is ready to go and in top shipshape.  Any follow up or support if needed is prompt and efficient.  I highly recommend Virgin Islands Yacht Charters.

Al Dugan & Family

Fun at The Baths

Jim & Kristi,

Thanks so much for completing our experience. Our past charter experiences in the BVI were a mixed bag of paradise, apathetic service, and mechanically challenged yachts. God made the islands beautiful, you two made sailing them a pleasure by providing friendly service and an excellent line of yachts. This experience felt less like a charter and more like borrowing a great boat from old friends. 

We’ll be back…                                                                                          ~Rev. Seth Sundstrom

Swimwear is perfect for the beach, but it is standard to cover up when walking around public areas. Bring comfortable shoes for walking and sightseeing. However, leave your high heels at home since the roads may be uneven.

USVI Yacht Charter Special | June & July 2024

Book a luxury 10-day USVI charter for the price of 7 days!

*For new and direct bookings only. Offer valid til April 30, 2024.

Depart from our base in historic Frenchtown surrounded by the natural beauty and culture of the U.S. Virgin Islands and experience an unforgettable charter vacation. Your previously scheduled private cab will be ready to pick you up from the airport.

Waypoints USVI is located near excellent gourmet restaurants, pub-style eateries, and downtown Charlotte Amalie world-class duty-free shopping. Spend a night on the dock or anchored nearby to enjoy the sights and lights of our busy Caribbean port.

If you are doing a sleep-aboard, you can spend your first night in the marina in Frenchtown with multiple dining options and provisioning nearby. If your charter begins at noon, we will get you on board, do a boat review, and then get you underway.

Sample Itinerary – 10-Day Charter from USVI to BVI

Traveling between the USVI and BVI allows you to see world-renowned sights and make unforgettable memories on a multi-day charter adventure.

Start the vacation of a lifetime by flying directly into Saint Thomas and catching a short ten-minute cab ride from Cyril E. King airport to the Waypoints USVI base. If you are doing a sleep-aboard, you can spend your first night in the marina in Frenchtown on your boat, with multiple dining options and provisioning nearby. If your charter begins at noon, we will get you on board, conduct a boat review, and then get you underway.

Depart from the marina and head east for your first stop in St. John. Take a mooring at Lind Point/Caneel Bay and go into town, or head up Maho Bay and hang out with the turtles. There are multiple snorkeling opportunities along the way to see some local sea life.

The next day, you are on to the BVI! Head over to the West End of Tortola and clear customs at Soper’s Hole. Grab some lunch at any of West End’s delightful restaurants. Then, head over to the Bight at Norman Island, home of the legendary Willy T’s and Pirates Bite, to anchor for the night.

The following morning brings an array of wonderful snorkeling spots. You can snorkel the Indians, the Caves, or both. Then, sail up the Sir Francis Drake Channel to overnight at Cooper Island. Make sure to book a reservation at the Cooper Island Beach Club.

Sail to Trellis Bay and enjoy a luxurious day at Scrub Island Resort and Marina, or head up to Virgin Gorda and visit the Bath’s. You can’t go wrong with either choice.

Time for the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. From Leverick Bay, Bitter End, and Saba Rock to Prickly Pear, Biras Creek, and the Sand Box. The possibilities are endless. Plan for two days in the area because one just isn’t enough.

Anegada is known for sailing, lobsters, and white sand beaches. Tuck in behind the reef at the Settlement and let the fun begin. Spend two days in paradise soaking up every bit of sun and relaxation.

Leave Anageda early the following morning and take a smooth downwind sail to Jost. The hardest part of the whole trip will be deciding which anchorage to head to, including Diamond Cay, Little Jost, Sandy Cay and Spit, Little Harbor, or Great Harbor.

Set a course back to the USVI on the south side of St. John and then pick from several anchorages. You can settle in at Coral Bay with its funky vibe. Enjoy absolute bliss while star gazing at either Salt Pond or Lameshur, or head on down to Rendezvous Bay.

Time for another downwind run with several options for your last night on charter. Head to Christmas Cove and grab a slice at Pizza Pi, or anchor out at Honeymoon Beach at Water Island, the home of Dinghy’s Beach Bar. You can also come on back to the marina in Frenchtown to ease back into reality.

On the day you return your boat, you will have a quick stop at a marina for fuel and return to our base in Frenchtown. Make sure to send us pictures of your charter trip, and don’t forget to add #WaypointsWanderer on social media!

This Hip Old San Juan, Puerto Rico Hotel Just Became a Hilton 

The Caribbean’s Must-Visit Yacht Show Is Coming to St Thomas 

The Virgin Islands Boating Expo will take place May 10-12, 2024 at Yacht Haven Grande St. Thomas, the USVI’s top yachting destination.

This boutique destination show, hosted by the Virgin Islands Professional Charter Association, ticks the top three boxes of what yacht buyers today want in a yacht sales experience: the ability to yacht shop, wine and dine, and stay and play — making for a unique kind of boat show-meets-food-festival event.

“We welcome our attendees, both the public and those flying into our award-winning destination, to visit with yacht dealers, manufacturers, exhibitors, and our local and global vendors,” said Joseph Boschulte, USVI Commissioner of Tourism. “Experience the best of what the U.S. Virgin Islands offers on land and sea and shop for a yacht while you’re here.”

Yacht shoppers can take advantage of duty-free tax benefits when buying in the USVI.  

It’s another major event for the Yacht Haven Grande Marina, which saw a major boom during the pandemic and continues to be a premier yachting jump-off point in the broader region.

The Government of the Virgin Islands also supports infrastructure on shore to maintain charter business interests such as an Economic Development Commission Tax Incentive Program for charter yachts. 

Charter company professionals, financial companies and Marine Expo vendors with global and local products will be on hand to talk about charter management opportunities in the USVI.

The latest models of top brands will be on site, including Bali, Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Leopard, McConaghy, Azimut and Boston Whaler, to name a few. 

Yacht buyers benefit from St. Thomas as a hub destination for transport ships delivering yachts from foreign manufacturing facilities. 

Attendees can walk the docks, tour the yachts, meet the professional crew and receive a fully immersive experience on board, with the opportunity to test-sail directly from the show berth through the scenic Charlotte Amalie harbor to world-class cruising grounds.

“Teaming up with Waypoints Yacht Charters, our luxury yacht charter sister company, we will bring attendees a dynamic duo that not only meets but exceeds market expectations,” said Laurent Fabre, vice president of sales and marketing for Fort Lauderdale, FL-based Atlantic Cruising Yachts, which will feature two stunning Fountaine Pajot catamarans, the Aura 51 and Alegria 67. “Discover the epitome of luxury and performance as our Yacht Consultants unveil the revolutionary Fountaine Pajot Smart Electric propulsion system, designed to enhance the experience for private owners and elevate charter fleet operations.”

Daily yacht viewings combine with live music and cultural performances, starting with the Exhibitor’s Opening Ceremony & Reception on May 9, from 5-7 p.m.

VIBE and Cutlass & Cane, Yacht Haven Grande St. Thomas’ newest restaurant, have partnered to produce a curated Food & Wine Experience, with lunch served daily from 12-3 p.m. including wine pairings. 

Yacht Haven Grande is also home to Blue 11, which has been featured in the 50 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean ranking.

All attendees can also visit a variety of pop-up bars featuring many beverages distributed by West Indies Company, including St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands-made Mutiny Island Vodka, the world’s first and finest Island Vodka made from breadfruit and Caribbean rainwater and St. Thomas-crafted Leatherback Brewing Company’s products, which offers craft beer made with Caribbean-grown ingredients.
