On select weeks in 2026, we are offering the unique experience of a power cat BVI Flotilla. Picture yourself gliding across the iconic turquoise seas of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) at the helm of a sleek, majestic power catamaran. You will experience effortless island hopping under the care of an experienced lead crew and make new connections with your fellow sailors.
Sail through the British Virgin Islands on a one-week power catamaran flotilla. From the tranquil bays of Cooper Island to the lively beach bars of Jost Van Dyke, each stop brings new adventures, picture-perfect sunsets, and the perfect blend of freedom and fun.
Please Note: All routes may vary due to weather conditions & other factors.
Ease into your adventure with a short sail to Cooper Island, where you can snorkel at Cistern Point, unwind at the beachfront bar, and toast the sunset with a Caribbean cocktail.
Cruise to Virgin Gorda and explore The Baths’ famous granite boulders before enjoying lunch with panoramic views and a relaxed evening anchored near Savannah Bay.
Sail west to Jost Van Dyke for a day of beach bar hopping, starting with a swim at White Bay and ending the night dancing at legendary Foxy’s in Great Harbour.
Discover Cane Garden Bay’s perfect blend of calm waters, live music, and rum heritage. Ideal for paddleboarding, cocktails, and one of the best sunsets in the BVI.
Head to Norman Island to snorkel the magical caves at Treasure Point, dine at Pirate’s Bight, and cap off your evening with a lively night at the floating bar, Willy T.
Sail back to Road Town, enjoy a final breakfast aboard or a drink by the marina, and soak up the last moments of Caribbean sunshine before heading home.
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have direct flights from Gatwick to Antigua. Inter-Caribbean operates connecting direct flights from Antigua to Tortola (Beef Island).
The British Virgin Islands are a fantastic place to experience a sail and stay holiday. With daily flights, you can really make the most of your time in the Caribbean and combine a yacht charter with a hotel stay in the BVI or even Antigua.
The best time to experience everything the BVI has to offer is November through to May, with temperatures between 28°C and 30°C and constant warm tradewinds at 10-20 knots providing excellent sailing. Hotels, restaurants and bars that are closed throughout the hurricane season (June to October) reopen at the end of October/beginning of November so if visiting between November and May you can be sure that you will be able to visit the top spots in the British Virgin Islands whilst on your yacht charter.
The peak season is December through to April with warm weather and steady winds. It is a lively atmosphere, especially during the festive period with lots of parties and celebrations.
The high season is from February to March, with warm, dry weather and reliable trade winds the sailing conditions are perfect.
The season begins to slow in May - June though the waters are still warm but the winds much milder
Fall (September - November)
This is the tail end of hurricane season, it is fairly quiet during this time but the weather is wetter and there is still a chance a hurricane could affect your charter.
The most cost-effective time
The most cost-effective time to visit is between March and May as they precede the hurricane season. Good travel insurance covering adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes is advised.
The British Virgin Islands see warm temperatures year-round averaging 28-31ºC throughout the year.
The hottest months are August and September when the waters are at their warmest.
It should be noted it is hurricane season between June and October.
The wettest and most humid months are September and October.
Virgin Gorda because you have the iconic Baths, North Sound and some fantastic beaches.
The official currency of the British Virgin Islands is the US Dollar (USD).
As a British Overseas Territory, British Pounds (GBP) were used in the British Virgin Islands once upon a time but the switch was made to US Dollars in 1959.
ATMs are available in the major towns and tourist centres and most larger establishments accept credit or debit cards. Some establishments may not accept American Express. It is recommended to keep cash on you to use at smaller establishments and shops and for taxi rides and tips etc.
A mooring buoy is currently about US$40-55 per night, to dock in a harbour or at a hotel pontoon, prices range from US$100-300 per night, depending on the size of your yacht and the destination.
Although useful to have one, a sailing license, certificate or qualification is not required for a BVI yacht charter, however, our partners will need to see a complete sailing resume.
The sailing resume for a BVI Yacht Charter must demonstrate experience as a skipper of a similar type and size (within five feet) of the yacht as the one you are looking to charter. The experience should also be recent and the company will look for experience within the last five years.
The cost of your yacht charter depends on several factors:
The type and size of the yacht you book will dictate the price. 1 week for a bareboat BVI yacht charter on a 2-cabin monohull starts around £300/$370 per day in low season whereas 1 week on a luxury crewed catamaran in high season could be upwards of £5500/$7350 per day. These are the 2 extremes of the scale for a 1 week charter and we offer plenty of choices in between.
1 week is a popular choice for the length of sailing vacation amongst our American sailors and makes the perfect getaway. However, a longer charter of around 10-14 days, which is more popular with our British and European clients and will give you more time to explore all the BVI has to offer and presents you the chance to be slightly more adventurous in your itinerary. We have a range of offers that can be tailored to your timescale.
Lower-priced yacht charters are available in the low season of July to October and mid-season May to June, November to January (excluding Christmas and New Year) with prices peaking in the high season from February to April and Christmas and New Year.
Don't have any sailing experience? No problem! We offer several skippered and crewed options so you can enjoy the yachting lifestyle without the stress. From a simple skippered yacht to fully crewed options, we can arrange a charter to suit your needs.
The Greek government hopes that shelving the requirements will help to ease the wait times seen at airports in other European countries.
Whether you love fresh seafood, traditional mezze or stuffed gyros, Greece is synonymous with great food. Escape the crowds this summer and sample some of the finest culinary delights in locations that are perfect to enjoy after a day at sail.
