Luxury yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands
Stunning scenery, tropical waters and charming culture all await you with a luxury yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands. Drop anchor and explore this romantic region of the Caribbean from the best vantage point: a superyacht.
The British Virgin Islands are famous for their beauty, their stunning clear waters and welcoming and hospitable culture. Located in the Leeward Islands as part of the Lesser Antilles, this collection of around 60 tropical islands is the perfect destination for a luxury yacht charter.
Whether it’s relaxing on a beach, exploring the tropical rainforest or swimming in warm turquoise waters, a BVI yacht charter has it all. The climate and prevailing wind conditions make the area a mecca for sailors and boasts some of the best sailing in the Caribbean.
Take in the beautiful bays and waters of Tortola and the surrounding areas including White Bay, Green Cay and Sandy Spit on Jost Van Dyke Island where you can sling up a hammock between the palm trees. ‘Deadman’s Bay’ on Peter Island is a perfect anchorage for snorkelling, swimming and seabobbing on the rocky outcrop of Cabey Point.
The island of Virgin Gorda is formed of volcanic rocks that have been smoothed down over the millennia to create unique arches, grottos and shaded pools; a magical place. The Baths at Virgin Gorda are world-famous so be sure not to miss out.
As you’d expect from its Caribbean location, the British Virgin Islands is a seafood lover’s dream with fresh fish available almost everywhere. Like seemingly the rest of the Caribbean, people of the British Virgin Islands know how to enjoy themselves.
