Why Now is the Perfect Time to Charter a Yacht in the BVIs

More Value, More Memories, No Hidden Costs

There’s never been a better time to experience the British Virgin Islands by luxury yacht. If you’ve been dreaming about a getaway that blends crystal-clear turquoise waters, remote island adventures, and five-star comfort, the BVIs offer a uniquely stress-free and cost-effective charter experience right now.

Why the BVIs Make Sense—Financially and Otherwise

Unlike some charter destinations that include additional taxes and fees, the British Virgin Islands offer a straightforward and budget-friendly setup: what you see is what you get. Most charter rates in the BVIs are all-inclusive or come with a clear APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), meaning you’re not met with surprise costs along the way. No added tax, no hidden fees—just your charter rate and smooth sailing.

According to 26 North Charter Broker Ashley Gathercole, “Clients love chartering in the BVIs because of the incredible value. You can enjoy a fully crewed, all-inclusive experience—with gourmet meals, personalized itineraries, and endless water toys—for a price that would be far higher in other parts of the world. It’s luxurious, laid back, and completely unforgettable.”

Real Guests, Real Stories

Just ask 26 North clients Rob and Deena, who recently chartered the stunning power catamaran Blue Horizon in the BVIs:
“First of all this was an amazing surprise…and I do mean SURPRISE! When we showed up on the dock and Jamie said, ‘this is your home for the next 5 days,’ I looked like this…😲
I’ve always had a fear of the water (ocean in particular) and I’m going to be staying on a boat ?!?! From the beginning, both of you made it your goals to make me comfortable. Between Jamie’s ‘there is no pressure here, you don’t even have to get off the boat,’ to Thea’s ‘I understand where you’re coming from’…I worked through my fears on the first day and experienced one of the most memorable vacations of my life!”

That’s the beauty of the BVIs—whether you’re an experienced sailor or stepping aboard a yacht for the first time, everything is set up to help you relax, explore, and connect with the people and places around you.

What You Can Expect on a BVI Charter

  • Dozens of pristine islands and anchorages, including Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke, and Virgin Gorda
  • Snorkeling and diving over vibrant reefs, shipwrecks, and sea caves
  • All-inclusive gourmet dining prepared by your private chef

  • Toys and tenders for every adventure—kayaks, paddleboards, Seabobs, and more
  • Unbeatable sunsets and beach bars with character (hello, Soggy Dollar and Foxy’s!)
