Today, the BVI (British Virgin Islands) are as popular with
yachties as they once were with the Caribbean pirates of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, and for many of the same reasons. Sailors are spoilt by
the vast choice of hidden bays and sheltered coves and with safe anchorages
and, with most places only accessible from the sea, a yacht is essential. The
BVI's tiny population of 19,000 is spread around only 15 of the islands,
leaving the rest uninhabited and untouched by industry. A coral island which
lies about 15 miles to the north east of the main archipelago, the rest were
once volcanic; the result is a varied and often dramatic landscape with many
unusual rock formations and caves with the exception of Anegada.
BVI Yacht charters have risen greatly in popularity as a
holiday activity and add to the excitement of a sunshine that is perfect.
There are two types of yacht charters:
Crewed Charters
A charter that is crewed provided with an experienced crew
to sail the yacht for you and provide other services like cooking, cleaning and
serving the guests. The size of the crew depends on the size of the yacht but
will include a skipper, a chef and a hostess to make your stay on the yacht as
pleasurable as possible.
Bareboat Charters
This is the perfect option if you are an experienced sailor,
or someone else in the family is a skipper that is qualified. This option gives
you complete freedom you want and when you feel like it as you can explore the
destinations. It is a much cheaper option than a charter that is crewed gives
you much more flexibility to do what you like.
